Abstract
The association between infectious agents and hematologic human malignancies has been actively studied, and numerous viral and bacterial agents were found to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of these diseases. However, the exact molecular mechanisms of infection-induced oncogenesis are still not completely understood. Three viruses, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Human T-cell lymphotropic virus I (HTLV-I), and Kaposi’s sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV), and one bacteria, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) have been definitely associated with human hematologic malignancies, particularly, lymphoid neoplasms. Although these agents employ very different specific oncogenic mechanisms, they converge on several common intercellular pathways (such as cell-cycle regulation, proliferation and apoptosis) that eventually lead to malignant transformation. Environmental and host cofactors such as immunosuppression, genetic predisposition, and mutagens can accelerate the development of these neoplasms. The study of infectious agents and of the multiple mechanisms deployed by them has improved our current understanding of cancer biology. The emerging information may expedite the development of new targeted approaches to prevent and treat infection-associated hematologic malignancies. In this review we will focus on the molecular mechanisms that are involved in the development of the wide spectrum of hematologic malignancies, associated with EBV, HTLV-1, KSHV and H. pylori, as well as their main clinical features.
