| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Integration of DNA viruses into the human genome plays an important role in various types of tumors. However, the molecular details and clinical impact of HPV integration on either the human or human papilloma virus (HPV) epigenomes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are unknown. We used a next-generation sequencing-based method for structural methylation analysis of integrated viral genomes. We detected integrated HPV sequences in the genome of the ESCC cell line and found variable levels of methylation within the integrated HPV genomes. The observed dynamic changes in DNA methylation of the host and viral genomes may functionally affect the biological behavior of HPV.
