| Abstract | The rate of infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) worldwide is about 80% of the adult population. Anogenital HPV infections are usually transient and cause no lasting damage. In about 15–20% of the cases, however, the HPV infection may persist and in about 1% it may cause transformation of the infected epithelium that might subsequently progress to overt cervical cancer. The hallmark of the malignant transformation is the integration of the viral genome into the host cell genome, resulting in upregulation of the transcription of the viral oncoproteins E6 and E7. The latter are expressed early in the course of the infection, interacting with the major regulators of the cell cycle progression so as to retain the host cell in a state favourable for the replication of the viral genome. Among the crucial cellular partners in the neoplastic transformation of HPV-infected cells are tumour-suppressor proteins such as p53 and pRb, products of protooncogenes such as p21/WAF1, chromatin structure modifiers such as HMGA1, and controllers of the cellular senescence such as the telomerase complex. The high-risk types of HPV seem to have developed mechanisms capable of evading or disabling virtually any defence. Nature has put in place against cancerous transformation, which could account for the high incidence of cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer despite the efforts the modern medicine and healthcare puts into screening programmes, prevention and therapy. The role of the deregulation of the expression of each of these groups of participants in the pathogenesis of activation of persistent dormant infection is reviewed and their impact on the risk for progression to higher grades of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and development of cervical cancer is assessed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
