Hypothesis (1994)
• Polyomaviruses encode a transforming gene (T-antigen)
• When cells are transformed (in the laboratory) with SV40 (a polyomavirus), they develop CIN and become aneuploid
• Perhaps a polyomavirus is in CRCs

Are Viruses Involved in the Pathogenesis of Any Cancers?
• Rous sarcoma virus (chickens)• Avian leukosis virus, etc (retroviruses)• Murine leukemia viruses, etc.• Oncogenes in NIH 3T3 cells (Bishop and
Varmus)• SV40 caused cancers in rodents (1960’s)

Are viruses involved in any human cancers?
• HPV and genital tract cancers – (possibly esophagus, nasopharyngeal, and other cancers)
• EBV and lymphomas (also gastric cancer?)• Kaposi’s sarcoma and herpes virus (HHV8)• HTLV-1 and lymphomas• Hepatitis B & C and hepatocellular carcinoma• Polyomaviruses
– SV40 and mesothelioma or lymphomas– JCV and CNS tumors

Polyomaviruses
• All encode a potent oncogene (T antigen)• All potentially potent oncogenic viruses
– Polyomavirus (mouse)– SV40 (monkeys)– JCV (human)– BKV (human)

Why JCV?
• Nearly all humans have antibody titers to JCV– every population studied (including Yanomami)– remains latent in most of us
• causes PML in immunosuppressed patients
• JCV has encodes a potent oncogene– T antigen
• JCV causes tumors when injected into the CNS of rodents or monkeys
• JCV is associated with “rogue” (aneuploid) lymphocytes in humans (James Neel)

Interpretation
The GI tract is a reservoir for JCV
Suggests fecal-oral transmissionof the virus

JCV and other GI Cancers
• JCV is also present in cancers of the:
– Esophagus (DelValle et al. Cancer, 2005)– Stomach (Shin et al. Cancer, 2006)– Pancreas (Fuerst et al. Gastro, 2005 (abstr.)– Lung (Zheng et al. J Pathol, 2007)

JCV and Genomic/EpigeneticInstability in CRC
• JCV T Antigen expression occurs in about half of all CRCs with JCV DNA– CIN and CIMP inversely associated with each
other• CRCs develop as a consequence of JCV
– some permit expression of JCV genes, and develop CIN (most tumors)
– some respond to JCV with promoter methylation (CIMP)

SUMMARY
• Most people are infected with JCV• JCV is present in most GI cancers
– CRC, gastric, esophageal, pancreatic• T Ag can initiate a neoplastic phenotype
prior to any mutations via β-catenin • T Ag can induce CIN• JCV transfection can cause CIN• T Ag expression may induce CIMP

Conclusions (2007)• JCV is a plausible explanation for:
– CIN– CIMP– MSI (which is caused by either CIMP or CIN)
• This is the best available explanation for how GI cancers begin in humans
• This raises the hypothesis that if one could prevent infection, one might greatly reduce the incidence of GI cancers
