Despite the availability of effective vaccines, HPV-associated cancers persist due to persistent infection, immune evasion, and the virus's ability to integrate into the host genome, contributing to molecular heterogeneity and therapeutic resistance. Here, we summarize molecular heterogeneity and the emerging combined therapeutic strategies. High-risk HPV types, notably HPV16 and HPV18, initiate carcinogenesis through persistent infection of epithelial basal cells and through the actions of the E6 and E7 oncoproteins, which disrupt the p53 and Rb pathways, induce telomerase activation, and promote genomic instability. A critical step in the progression to cancer is HPV genome integration, which occurs through DNA damage response pathways and results in heterogeneous insertion patterns that drive oncogene activation, tumor suppressor inactivation, and complex chromosomal rearrangements. Emerging single-cell RNA sequencing studies have highlighted the transcriptional, immune, and spatial heterogeneity of HPV-associated cancers, revealing subpopulations linked to immune escape, therapy resistance, and disease progression. These technologies have uncovered dynamic microenvironmental shifts and distinct immune cell populations, underscoring the importance of cellular and spatial heterogeneity in shaping tumor evolution and treatment response. The \"hit and run\" hypothesis suggests that while HPV oncoproteins are critical in early carcinogenesis, some tumors may lose dependence on viral oncogenes as they accumulate host genomic alterations, complicating detection and treatment strategies. Heterogeneity in HPV integration patterns and the tumor microenvironment contribute to variable treatment outcomes and the development of resistance to monotherapies. To overcome the challenges posed by molecular heterogeneity in HPV-associated cancers, combined therapeutic strategies targeting viral oncoproteins, host genomic vulnerabilities, and immune microenvironment are essential. Integrating single-cell transcriptomic insights with HPV integration profiles highlights how viral and host heterogeneity shape immune escape and therapeutic response, offering a framework for designing personalized combination therapies to improve outcomes in HPV-associated cancers.</p>","PeriodicalId":520023,"journal":{"name":"Cancer heterogeneity and plasticity","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13045741/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147625295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One mechanism of transcriptional regulation involves N6-methyladenosine (m<sup>6</sup>A) RNA modification, which dynamically regulates mRNA processing and alternative splicing, ultimately impacting cell fate and differentiation. In prostate cancer (PC), resistance to systemic therapies such as the androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) enzalutamide is associated with a host of well-documented androgen receptor (AR) alterations, including amplification, mutation, and alternative splicing. Given these functions, we hypothesized that m<sup>6</sup>A modifications play a role in the transition to enzalutamide resistance in PC. To test this, we used methyl-RNA-immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (MeRIP-seq) in parallel with RNA-seq to identify gene transcripts that were both differentially methylated and differentially expressed between enzalutamide-sensitive and enzalutamide-resistant PC cells. We filtered and prioritized these genes using clinical and functional database tools, including Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and the Oncology Research Information Network (ORIEN) avatar. Using this approach, we identified 487 transcripts that were both differentially methylated and differentially expressed and validated six of the top 12 candidates via targeted qPCR and MeRIP-PCR. One of these, <i>THBS1</i>, was found to have increased m<sup>6</sup>A level associated with decreased transcript levels in enzalutamide-resistant cells, a finding recapitulated in publicly available preclinical and clinical data. Moreover, in enzalutamide-sensitive cells, depletion of <i>THBS1</i> by siRNA-knockdown induced resistance to enzalutamide. While <i>THBS1</i> has previously been implicated in aggressive PC phenotypes, we now show that <i>THBS1</i> downregulation directly contributes to a rapid transition to enzalutamide resistance, suggesting a novel role for this gene in PC hormonal therapy resistance.
