ABSTRACT
Viruses may transform infected cells into benign or malignant tumors, promoting cell growth and survival via various intracellular pathways. Some oncogenic DNA viruses, such as human papillomaviruses, can lead to squamous intraepithelial lesions and cervical cancer. Furthermore, the early HPV virus'soncoproteins have been attributed to cancer initiation and development and tumor-enhancing action. In addition to viral oncoproteins, antigen-presenting cells (APC) and the number of clusters of differentiation (CD) markers expressed on their surface play an essential role in disease progression or tumorigenesis inhibition. This article discussed the function of CD markers in the interaction between APCs and cancer cells, immune cells' function in the infection process, and finally infected cells' malignancy. We investigated targeting these markers as a novel insight to create a new therapeutic or diagnosis strategy to prevent cervical cancer progression.
