Journal ArticleDOI
CpG methylation of half-CRE sequences creates C/EBPα binding sites that activate some tissue-specific genes
Vikas Rishi,Paramita Bhattacharya,Raghunath Chatterjee,Julian M. Rozenberg,Jianfei Zhao,Kimberly Glass,Peter C. FitzGerald,Charles Vinson +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that CpG methylation of the CRE sequence (TGACGTCA) enhances the DNA binding of the C/EBPα transcription factor, a protein critical for activation of differentiation in various cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative profile of the prevalence and age distribution of human papillomavirus type 16/18 infections among three states of India with focus on northeast India
P. Laikangbam,Sharmila Sengupta,Paramita Bhattacharya,Chandralekha Duttagupta,Th. Dhabali Singh,Y. Verma,Sudipta Roy,R. Das,S. Mukhopadhyay +8 more
TL;DR: Women from northeast India, particularly from Manipur, appear less susceptible to HPV16/18 infection and related cervical lesions compared to those from West Bengal, where such proneness was prominently evident at age ≤30 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proline homozygosity in codon 72 of p53: a risk genotype for human papillomavirus related cervical cancer in Indian women
TL;DR: Prolinehomozygosity at codon 72 of p53 and not arginine homozygosity, could be a risk factor for development of CaCx associated with high risk HPV among Indian women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are Muslim women less susceptible to oncogenic human papillomavirus infection? A study from rural eastern India.
Chandralekha Duttagupta,Sharmila Sengupta,Mimi Roy,Debasis Sengupta,Paramita Bhattacharya,P. Laikangbam,Sudipta Roy,Susmita Ghosh,R. Das +8 more
TL;DR: The data show that these Indian Muslim women are equally susceptible to HPV16/18 infection and for the development of abnormal cytology, which justifies the need to screen women of all religions for cervical cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and uterine cervical cancer: a screening strategy in the perspective of rural India
Chandralekha Duttagupta,Sharmila Sengupta,Mimi Roy,Debasis Sengupta,S Chakraborty,Paramita Bhattacharya,Sudipta Roy,Susmita Ghosh +7 more
TL;DR: A cost-effective screening scheme in which HPV testing must be performed in women aged ≤23 years with cervical erosion and 24–43 years, as an adjunct to Pap smears is proposed, since abnormal cytology was more prominent over the viral infection.
