| Summary: | <p dir="ltr">Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine cutaneous malignancy that commonly affects older individuals with a high mortality rate. The treatment of MCC is still a challenge. The presence of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV or MCV) is a major causative factor for the disease, associated with approximately 80% of MCC cases. The only known polyomavirus virus to play a role in tumorigenesis, MCPyV, is a double-stranded DNA virus from the Polyomaviridae family of viruses and is known to target dermal fibroblasts. It induces oncogenesis by clonally integrating into the MCC tumor cell genome and expressing its oncogenic T antigens: large T (lT), small T (sT), and 57 kT antigens.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Cancers<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/cancers15164075" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/cancers15164075</a></p> |
