Retroviral Elements Could Be Exploited to Fight Esophageal Cancer

Retroviral Elements Could Be Exploited to Fight Esophageal Cancer Esophageal cancer, 3D illustration showing tumor on the wall of esophagus May 10, 2021 Share Endogenous retroviral elements (ERVs) the ancient viral DNA sequences that lurk in our genome have lost the ability to produce viral particles, but they can still cause mischief. For example, they can take part in the tangled mechanisms that give rise to cancer. However, in esophageal cancers associated with a cancer-promoting gene called SOX2, ERVs could make cancer cells more vulnerable to immunotherapy. This possibility was recognized in a recent study led by Adam Bass, MD, a researcher at Columbia University. In this study, Bass and his colleagues created esophageal organoids from mouse tissue to follow the development of cancer from normal cells to malignancy. Using these organoids, the scientists found that a specific cancer-promoting gene in esophageal cancers called SOX2 leads to induction of expression of many ER

Esophageal cancers turn on ancient viral DNA hidden in our genome

Esophageal cancers turn on ancient viral DNA hidden in our genome Scientists have discovered that many esophageal cancers turn on ancient viral DNA that was embedded in our genome hundreds of millions of years ago. It was surprising, says Adam Bass, MD, the Herbert and Florence Irving Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center, who led the study published May 10 in Nature Genetics. We weren t specifically searching for the viral elements, but the finding opens up a huge new array of potential cancer targets that I think will be extremely exciting as ways to enhance immunotherapy.
