| Resumen en inglés | Optimal function of the immune system allows the recognition and elimination of infected and tumor cells. However, these cells can develop mechanisms to evade the cellular immune response. In human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, dysregulation of major histocompatibility complex Class I molecules and other components of the innate immune system promote the survival of infected cells by allowing the infection to persist which, in turn, favors the development of cancer. Further, tumor cells possess inherent mechanisms designed to block the recognition and activation of cytotoxic lymphocytes: particularly, HPV proteins such as E1 and E2 and oncoproteins E5, E6, and E7 that inhibit immune mechanisms and/or stimulate the expression of immunosuppressive cytokines. These mechanisms include a decrease in receptor activation and costimulating molecules on the surface of immune cells, as well as the constitutive expression of molecules that inhibit their function, which allow HPV persistence and tumor progression. Immunotherapy-based therapeutic options are positioned as excellent candidates for the treatment of cervical cancer |
