    Abstract Background: Head and neck cancer (HNSCC) is a heterogeneous group of cancers, affecting multiple regions such as oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and nasal region, each showing a distinct molecular profile. HNSCC accounts for more than 6 million cases worldwide, soaring mainly in the developing countries.
    Recent findings: The aetiology of HNSCC is complex and multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental factors. The critical role of microbiome, which includes bacteria, viruses, and fungi, is under spotlight due to the recent reports on their contribution in the development and progression of HNSCC. This review focuses on the effect of opportunistic pathogens on the host genome and epigenome, which contributes to the disease progression. Drawing parallels from the host-pathogen interactions observed in other tumour types arising from the epithelial tissue such as colorectal cancer, the review also calls attention to the potential explorations of the role of pathogens in HNSCC biology and discusses the clinical implications of microbiome research in detection and treatment of HNSCC.
    Conclusion: Our understanding of the genomic effects of the microbes on the disease progression and the mechanistic insights of the host-pathogen interaction will pave way to novel treatment and preventive approaches in HNSCC.

  2. Article ; Online: The "Trick" Knot-A Modified Technique of the Removable "Shoelace" Knot for Temporary Ligation of the Uterine Artery at Its Origin.

    Abstract Study objective: To demonstrate the "trick" knot, a technique of temporary ligation of the uterine artery at origin, a modification of the previously published "shoelace" knot.
    Design: A video demonstration.
    Setting: A private hospital.
    Intervention: Bilateral uterine arteries at origin are exposed after dissection of the peritoneum over the triangle formed by the round ligament, the infundibulopelvic ligament, and the pelvic sidewall [Video 1]. A 60-cm long free polyglactin absorbable suture with preformed knots at each end is introduced around the skeletonized uterine artery. Using a single throw, the "trick" knot is made by pulling out a loop of thread. The end is cut short, and the same suture is used to similarly ligate the other uterine artery. Each knot thus formed has a free end and a knotted end. Laparoscopic myomectomy is performed. On completion of the procedure, the knot is released by pulling the free end, restoring the blood supply to the uterus.
    Conclusion: Bilateral uterine artery ligation, although an effective method to curb bleeding during a laparoscopic myomectomy, when performed permanently, may lead to undesirable outcomes in women who wish to preserve fertility [1-3]. Methods for temporary ligation of the uterine artery at origin, such the removable vascular clips, are thus regarded justifiable [4]. In contrast to the removable "shoelace" knot, which uses a loop to make a throw, the technique of performing the "trick" knot mimics the steps of forming a regular intracorporeal knot [5]. This makes the latter technically easier and hence faster to perform, while still being as economic and reproducible as the former.

    Abstract Singleton or low-frequency driver mutations are challenging to identify. We present a domain driver mutation estimator (DOME) to identify rare candidate driver mutations. DOME analyzes positions analogous to known statistical hotspots and resistant mutations in combination with their functional and biochemical residue context as determined by protein structures and somatic mutation propensity within conserved PFAM domains, integrating the CADD scoring scheme. Benchmarked against seven other tools, DOME exhibited superior or comparable accuracy compared to all evaluated tools in the prediction of functional cancer drivers, with the exception of one tool. DOME identified a unique set of 32 917 high-confidence predicted driver mutations from the analysis of whole proteome missense variants within domain boundaries across 1331 genes, including 1192 noncancer gene census genes, emphasizing its unique place in cancer genome analysis. Additionally, analysis of 8799 TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) and in-house tumor samples revealed 847 potential driver mutations, with mutations in tyrosine kinase members forming the dominant burden, underscoring its higher significance in cancer. Overall, DOME complements current approaches for identifying novel, low-frequency drivers and resistant mutations in personalized therapy.

    Abstract Head and neck cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The identification of genetic alterations in head and neck cancer may improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes. In this study, we report the identification and functional characterization of UBE3C-LRP5 translocation in head and neck cancer. Our whole transcriptome sequencing and RT-PCR analysis of 151 head and neck cancer tumor samples identified the LRP5-UBE3C and UBE3C-LRP5 fusion transcripts in 5.3% of patients of Indian origin (n = 151), and UBE3C-LRP5 fusion transcripts in 1.2% of TCGA-HNSC patients (n = 502). Further, whole genome sequencing identified the breakpoint of UBE3C-LRP5 translocation. We demonstrate that UBE3C-LRP5 fusion is activating in vitro and in vivo, and promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of head and neck cancer cells. In contrast, depletion of UBE3C-LRP5 fusion suppresses the clonogenic, migratory, and invasive potential of the cells. The UBE3C-LRP5 fusion activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling by promoting nuclear accumulation of β-catenin, leading to upregulation of Wnt/β-catenin target genes, MYC, CCND1, TCF4, and LEF1. Consistently, treatment with the FDA-approved drug, pyrvinium pamoate, significantly reduced the transforming ability of cells expressing the fusion protein and improved survival in mice bearing tumors of fusion-overexpressing cells. Interestingly, fusion-expressing cells upon knockdown of CTNNB1, or LEF1 show reduced proliferation, clonogenic abilities, and reduced sensitivity to pyrvinium pamoate. Overall, our study suggests that the UBE3C-LRP5 fusion is a promising therapeutic target for head and neck cancer and that pyrvinium pamoate may be a potential drug candidate for treating head and neck cancer harboring this translocation.

    Abstract Background: Rapid analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genomic data plays a crucial role in surveillance and adoption of measures in controlling spread of Covid-19. Fast, inclusive and adaptive methods are required for the heterogenous SARS-CoV-2 sequence data generated at an unprecedented rate.
    Results: We present an updated version of the SARS-CoV-2 analysis module of our automated computational pipeline, Infectious Pathogen Detector (IPD) 2.0, to perform genomic analysis to understand the variability and dynamics of the virus. It adopts the recent clade nomenclature and demonstrates the clade prediction accuracy of 92.8%. IPD 2.0 also contains a SARS-CoV-2 updater module, allowing automatic upgrading of the variant database using genome sequences from GISAID. As a proof of principle, analyzing 208,911 SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences, we generate an extensive database of 2.58 million sample-wise variants. A comparative account of lineage-specific mutations in the newer SARS-CoV-2 strains emerging in the UK, South Africa and Brazil and data reported from India identify overlapping and lineages specific acquired mutations suggesting a repetitive convergent and adaptive evolution.
    Conclusions: A novel and dynamic feature of the SARS-CoV-2 module of IPD 2.0 makes it a contemporary tool to analyze the diverse and growing genomic strains of the virus and serve as a vital tool to help facilitate rapid genomic surveillance in a population to identify variants involved in breakthrough infections.
