What is it about?

HPV16-miR-H1, HPV16-miR-H3, HPV16-miR-H5, HPV16-miR-H6, HPV-16 miR-1, HPV-16 miR-2, and HPV-16 miR-3 are transcribed in HPV-associated cancer lesions. Other high-risk HPV subtype genomes contain and may express additional miRNAs, that are just identified using bioinformatics.

Why is it important?

The analysis of high-risk HPV genomes show the presence of subtype-specific pre-miRNA candidates.

Perspectives

The high-risk HPV miRNAs may have a role in carcinogenesis and may be targets for antagomiR therapeutic intervention
