Papillomaviruses are small DNA viruses that are associated with the induction of epithelial tumors. HPV is an important infectious agent causing almost 100 % of cervical tumors but it can also cause tumors in other anogenital and head and neck locations in both men and women. Active HPV infection induces changes in miRNA expression that contribute to the tumor formation and progression. It is already known that papillomaviruses do not encode their own viral miRNAs but they affect the expression of cellular miRNAs. In my thesis I have in selected epithelial tumors (vulva, cervix, anus and tonsils) determined their etiology and analyzed the presence of miRNAs in tissues by next generation sequencing. From these data I determined the expression profiles of deregulated miRNAs in tumors relation to healthy tissues of corresponding location. Even though, sufficient number of samples was analyzed, it was not possible to detect HPV-core miRNA common to all analyzed HPV-induced tumors due to the absence of statistically relevant differentially expressed miRNAs in HPV positive vulvar tumors. Among the tumors of the other sites I found an overlap in three miRNAs. One of these miRNAs (miR-139-5p) and another one (miR-9-5p) which I have selected based on the study of other published data, were used for...
