Multi-scale Transcriptional Characterization of HPV16 and HPV18 in Cervical Cancer: Host Pathway Alterations and Links With Viral Gene Expression Programs
High-risk HPV is central to cervical carcinogenesis, but whether individual genotypes drive distinct tumor biology or converge on a shared oncogenic state remains unclear. Profiling viral and host gene expression across two independent cohorts (n = 93; 76 HPV16, 17 HPV18), we show that HPV16- and HPV18-associated cervical cancers differ in host transcriptional programs. A 55-gene signature…
