Relationship of P16 and Ki67 in recurrence of HPV infection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia

This study aimed to investigate the association of P16 and Ki67 expression in cervical conization with postoperative HPV reinfection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. This study retrospectively enrolled patients from January 2012 to December 2013. Patients with negative margins were followed up for 2 years to evaluate the correlation between Ki67 and p16 expression levels in the conization of patients with HPV persistence encountering infection or re-infection and CIN recurrence. The positive expression of p16 and Ki67 was significantly correlated with disease progression (P<0.05). p16 and Ki67 expression was chosen, and results showed that positive expression of p16 and ki67 proteins was a risk factor of disease progression (OR=5.3, 95% CI 1.177~24.365, P=0.042; OR=5.1, 95% CI 1.162~22.387, P=0.031, respectively). Results indicated that routine staining for p16 and Ki67 has clinically significant meaning in guiding disease progress and prognosis at follow-up.     

Correlation between viral load,multiplicity of infection,and persistence of HPV16 and HPV18 infection in a Dutch cohort of young women

BackgroundPersistent high-risk human papillomavirus infection precedes the development of cervical cancer. Here we evaluated the contribution of HPV16/18 viral load and the presence of infections with multiple HPV types to persistence and clearance of HPV16/18 infections.MethodsVaginal self-swabs were obtained from young women (16–29 y) with one year interval. HPV genotyping was performed using the highly sensitive SPF10-DEIA-LiPA₂₅ system. HPV16/18 DNA loads were quantified via an adapted, highly sensitive qPCR protocol targeting the L1 gene.ResultsWe identified 227 HPV16 and 111 HPV18 infections with follow-up. For HPV16 132/227 (58%) were persistent and 95/227 cleared. For HPV18 49/111 (44%) infections were persistent and 62/111 cleared. Baseline viral load was significantly higher in persistent infections than in clearing infections for both HPV16 (p = 0.022) and HPV18 (p = 0.013). At baseline, only HPV16 viral load was significantly higher in multiple HPV infections compared with single infections (p = 0.003). In logistic regression analysis HPV16 and HPV18 viral load were found to contribute to persistency with OR = 1.279 (95%CI = 1.074–1.524) and OR = 1.256 (95%CI = 1.028–1.533) per log-unit increase HPV16 and HPV18 viral load respectively. The presence of multiple HPV type infections was not associated with higher persistency.ConclusionHPV16/18 viral load might be used as a marker for persisting infections and is affected by the presence of multiple HPV infections. Evaluation of these parameters at the population level may be of value to assess the presence of persistent or clearing HPV16/18 infections as an early marker, and may provide useful quantitative information in (epidemiological) vaccine monitoring studies.

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine,HPV related diseases and cervical cancer in the post-reproductive years

Prophylactic HPV vaccines have demonstrated high efficacy against a range of HPV related diseases. They have been widely adopted as population health interventions in many jurisdictions and their routine use has been endorsed by the WHO. The development of these vaccines comes after an increased understanding of the natural history and epidemiology of HPV infection and disease in both males and females. Persistent HPV infection with oncogenic types induces malignant transformation in a range of epithelia including the cervix, anogenital regions, the penis and a number of head and neck sites. In relation to HPV disease prevention in the post-reproductive years, most infections occur soon after commencement of sexual activity but new infections do occur throughout the age spectrum. This reduces the likely impact of prophylactic vaccines in this population. The major impact on HPV related disease in this age group will come from advances in screening and early detection of HPV and neoplastic precursors. The most appropriate prevention for any individual man or women in this age group will be an individualised combination of vaccination, screening and early detection depending on the individual's own circumstances.

Seroprevalence of HPV vaccine types 6, 11, 16 and 18 in HIV-infected women from South Africa, Brazil and Botswana

Background

Many resource limited settings (RLS) suffer from high rates of both cervical cancer and HIV. Limited HPV serology data are available from RLS; such data could help describe local patterns of HPV infection and predict vaccine efficacy.

Objectives

To determine seropositivity to HPV types 6, 11, 16 and 18 in HIV-infected women from South Africa (SA), Botswana and Brazil.

Study design

HPV serotyping for high-risk types 6, 11, 16 and 18 was performed on samples collected from HIV-infected women from 2003–2010 using competitive Luminex Immuno Assay (HPV-4cLIA). We examined the association between seropositivity to these HPV types and country of enrollment, CD4, HIV-1 RNA level, and Pap smear.

Results

HPV serology results were available for 487 HIV-infected women (157, 170 and 160 from SA, Botswana and Brazil respectively). Approximately 65% of women had serum antibodies to one of the 4 HPV types and less than 3% of women had antibodies all 4 serotypes. Approximately 30% women demonstrated antibodies to type 16 HPV. Rates of seropositivity to HPV 11, and HPV 16+18 varied significantly between countries. Statistical difference was also shown in women in different age categories in the different countries. There was no difference in serology results compared by CD4 count, HIV viral load or Pap smear results.

Conclusions

These data suggest that the quadrivalent vaccine may be effective in preventing HPV infection in these countries.     

The relationship between the cervical and anal HPV infection in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia

BackgroundMore than 90% of cases of anal cancers are caused by high-risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV) infection and a history of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is established as possible risk factor.ObjectivesTo demonstrate relationship between anal and cervical HPV infection in women with different grades of CIN and microinvasive cervical cancer.Study designA total of 272 women were enrolled in the study. The study group included 172 women who underwent conization for high-grade CIN or microinvasive cervical cancer. The control group consisted of 100 women with non-neoplastic gynecologic diseases or biopsy-confirmed CIN 1. All participants completed a questionnaire detailing their medical history and sexual risk factors and were subjected to anal and cervical HPV genotyping using Cobas and Lynear array HPV test.ResultsCervical, anal, and concurrent cervical and anal HPV infections were detected in 82.6%, 48.3% and 42.4% of women in the study group, and in 28.0%, 26.0% and 8.0% of women in the control group, respectively. The prevalence of the HR HPV genotypes was higher in the study group and significantly increased with the severity of cervical lesion. Concurrent infections of the cervix and anus occurred 5.3-fold more often in the study group than in the control group. Any contact with the anus was the only significant risk factor for development of concurrent HPV infection.ConclusionsConcurrent anal and cervical HR HPV infection was found in nearly half of women with CIN 2+. The dominant genotype found in both anatomical locations was HPV 16. Any frequency and any type of contact with the anus were shown as the most important risk factor for concurrent HPV infection.     

Viral load and physical status of human papillomavirus (HPV) 18 in cervical samples from female sex workers infected with HPV 18 in Burkina Faso

Viral DNA load and physical status might be predictive of either high‐grade cervical lesions or disease progression among women infected by human papillomavirus (HPV) 16, but these virological markers have rarely been studied in HPV 18 infections. The relationships between HPV 18 DNA load, viral genome physical status and cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions were analyzed among female sex workers infected with HPV18 in Burkina Faso. HPV 18 E2 and E6 genes were quantitated by real‐time PCR. Among 21 women infected with HPV 18, 67% of whom were HIV‐1‐seropositive, 11 (52.4%) had a normal cytology, 8 (38.1%) had low‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, and 2 (9.5%) had high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions. Total viral load and integrated viral load were higher in women with squamous intraepithelial lesions than in women with normal cytology (P = 0.01 for both parameters). Total viral load and integrated viral load were higher in HIV‐1‐seropositive women than in those who were not infected with HIV (P = 0.01, and P, 0.01, respectively). Total viral load or integrated viral load >1,000 copies/ng of DNA were more frequent in women with squamous intraepithelial lesions than in women with normal cytology (7/10 vs. 1/11; P = 0.007) and in HIV‐1‐seropositive women (8/14 vs. 0/7 in HIV‐uninfected women; P = 0.02). Both HPV 18 DNA and integrated DNA loads might represent markers of cervical lesions. Prospective evaluations are needed to establish the value of these parameters to predict high‐grade lesion or lesion progression. J. Med. Virol. 81:1786–1791, 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.     

Real-time duplex PCR for simultaneous HPV 16 and HPV 18 DNA quantitation

HPV 16 and HPV 18 are responsible for more than 75% of cervical cancers and high HPV 16 loads are associated with both prevalent and incident lesions. The objective of the present study was to develop a method allowing the detection and quantitation of HPV 16 and 18 DNA to improve future strategies for cervical cancer screening. A duplex real-time PCR allowing the simultaneous quantitation of both HPV 16 and HPV 18 was carried out. Mixes of HPV 16 and HPV 18 whole genome plasmids were prepared to test a wide range of viral DNA concentrations. The values obtained for each mix of plasmids with the simplex and the duplex PCR were very close to the theoretical values except when a HPV type represented only 1:1000 genome equivalent or lower than the concurrent type. Cervical samples harboring HPV 16, HPV 18 or both types were tested by comparing the results with simplex and duplex real-time PCR assays. HPV 16 and HPV 18 genome titers were similar with the two assays. In conclusion, the real-time duplex PCR proved to be robust for HPV 16 and HPV 18 DNA quantitation.     

Prevalence of HPV 16 and 18 DNA sequences in CIN III lesions of adults and adolescents

Adolescents may be more susceptible to cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and may have more rapid progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplastic (CIN) lesions than adults. We evaluated Papanicolaou (Pap) smears and cervical tissue specimens from a consecutive series of 25 adolescent (age 15-20 yr) and 17 adult (age 35-40 yr) patients with a histologic diagnosis of CIN III. The study patients were all Detroit residents enrolled in a health maintenance organization (HMO) affliated with Henry Ford Hospital. The cervical tissue specimens were evaluated for HPV 6b/11, HPV 16, and HPV 18 using agarose gel electrophoresis and Southern hybridization following polymerase chain reaction (PCR) DNA amplification. While the small sample size precluded testing for statistical significance, HPV 16 and/or HPV 18 DNA was detected in specimens from 21/25 (84%) adolescents compared to 12/17 (71%) adults (odds ratio [OR] = 2.2; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.49-9.74). The relationship between adolescence and HPV infections appears to be stronger for HPV 18 and mixed HPV 16/18 infections (OR = 5.6; 95% CI = 0.7-42.4) than for HPV 16 infections (OR = 1.93; 95% CI = 0.4-8.8). None of the cervical specimens contained HPV 6b/11 DNA. Oral contraceptive (OC) use was associated with HPV infection in patients with CIN III, but there was no association between cigarette smoking and HPV infection. The effect of OC use on the relationship of age and HPV could not be evaluated due to small sample size. The effects of previous sexually transmitted disease (STD) on the relationship of age and HPV were assessed. Among women with a history of STD, there was a strong association between HPV and adolescent age (OR = 18.0; 95% CI = 1.2-260.0). Our data suggest that among women with CIN III, adolescents have a higher prevalence of certain high-risk types of HPV infections than adults. The excess is due predominantly to the higher rates of HPV 18 and mixed HPV 16/18 infections in adolescents. The positive relationship between high-risk HPV infections and young age was most evident in adolescents with a history of STD. The results from this study suggest that differences in HPV type infections may be related to the more aggressive clinical course of CIN in adolescents. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

HIGH‐RISK HPV testing as the primary screening method in an organized regional screening program for cervical cancer: the value of HPV16 and HPV18 genotyping?

Since 2012, testing high‐risk (HR)HPV has been used as the primary screening test for women ≥35 years attending the organized cervical cancer screening program in the city of Tampere. We evaluated the contribution of HPV16/18 genotyping. Data from 2012 and 2013, and the follow‐up samples in 2013 and 2014, respectively, were analyzed. Abbott RealTime High‐Risk HPV test detecting 14 HRHPV genotypes combined with concurrent genotyping for HPV16 and HPV18 was used. HPV was positive in 794 samples out of 11 346 HPV tested women (7%). HPV16/18 was represented in 22% of HPV‐positive cases. Negative cervical cytology (NILM) was reported in 51% of HPV‐positive samples. HPV16/18 genotype was accompanied with 50% of HSIL/ASC‐H cases. The predominance of HPV16/18 in higher grade lesions was even more evident in cervical biopsies as 57% of CIN3 cases were associated with HPV16/18, and only 20% of carcinomas were associated with nonspecified high‐risk (NSHR) genotypes. In agreement with previous studies HPV16/18 genotypes caused higher grade cytological and histological changes/pathologies than NSHR genotypes in primary screening. Nevertheless, the majority of HRHPV genotypes detected in the screened population were nonHPV16/18, and especially within persistent infections, precancerous lesions were found also among women with NSHR genotypes.

Propagation, infection, and neutralization of authentic HPV16 virus

Despite the prevalence of HPV16 in invasive cervical cancers, an in vitro system capable of producing infectious HPV16 is lacking. The organotypic (raft) culture system has allowed for the study of the entire differentiation-dependent life cycle of human papillomaviruses (HPVs). However, the use of this system with the prototype HPV16-containing cell line, W12, has failed to yield infectious virus. Our laboratory has introduced clinically derived HPV16(114/B) genomic DNA into primary keratinocytes, where it subsequently recircularized and maintained episomally at 50-100 copies per cell. Virion morphogenesis occurred after epithelial stratification and differentiation in raft culture. HPV16 virions were isolated that were able to infect keratinocytes in vitro. Infection was neutralized by monoclonal antibodies raised against HPV16 but not by monoclonal antibodies known to neutralize other HPV types.     

p16 and Ki67 expression in normal,dysplastic and neoplastic uterine cervical epithelium and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection

Cellular cycle proteins like the p16^INK4a and the Ki67 proliferation nuclear antigen have been used as oncogenicity cellular markers. The E6 and E7 oncoproteins interact with tumor suppressor genes p53 and pRb, culminating with the p16^INK4a overexpression.     

宫颈癌组织中survivin和CD44v6的表达及其与HPV16/18感染的相关性

目的研究survivin、CD44v6在宫颈癌组织中的表达及其与HPV16/18感染的相关性,以探讨宫颈癌的发生机制。方法用免疫组化方法进行survivin和CD44v6的检测,用PCR检测HPV16/18感染情况。结果survivin和CD44v6的阳性率在宫颈癌组织中远高于CIN和正常宫颈组织,差异显著(均P<0.01),其表达率与淋巴结转移有关(均P<0.05)。CD44v6随着临床分期、病例分级的升高阳性率升高(P<0.05),survivin的阳性率则随着病例分级的升高而增加(P<0.05)。HPV16/18在正常宫颈组织、CIN和宫颈癌中的阳性率逐渐升高(P<0.01),但与临床分期、病理分级、淋巴转移无关。survivin与HPV16/18感染有相关性(P<0.05)。结论宫颈癌组织中survivin的异常表达与HPV16/18感染有关。survivin和CD44v6与宫颈癌的恶变程度有关,可作为宫颈癌筛查预后判断的有利指标。
