目的探讨人乳头状瘤病毒（ＨＰＶ）不同型别与宫颈病变性质的关系。方法应用ＰＣＲ技术和原位杂交方法对６１例宫颈上皮内瘤（ＣｅｒｖｉｃａｌｉｎｔｒａｅｐｉｔｈｅｌｉａｌＮｅｏｐｌａｓｉａＣＩＮ）和１２例宫颈鳞癌（ＳＣＣ）进行ＨＰＶ６Ｂ／１１、１６、１８ＤＮＡ检测。结果ＰＣＲ检测结果显示ＨＰＶ６、１１主要分布于低度鳞状上皮内病变（６１９％）和一部分ＣＩＮⅡ中（２０％），而在ＣＩＮⅢ和ＳＣＣ中检测不到；ＨＰＶ１６、１８的检出率随ＣＩＮ级别增高而增加，在ＳＣＣ中高达８３３％。原位杂交结果显示在低度鳞状上皮内病变中，地高辛（Ｄｉｇ）标记的ＨＰＶ６Ｂ／１１、１６、１８ＤＮＡ杂交物质在核中均呈细颗粒状，为“游离型”。上述杂交阳性信号形态亦出现于ＣＩＮⅡ的所有ＨＰＶ６Ｂ／１１及部分ＨＰＶ１６、１８型感染中，而ＣＩＮⅢ和宫颈鳞癌及部分ＣＩＮⅡ中，其杂交阳性信号均为非颗粒状的“整合型”。结论低度鳞状上皮内病变是以ＨＰＶ６、１１低危型为主的多型别病毒的繁殖性感染，ＣＩＮⅢ和宫颈鳞癌为ＨＰＶ１６、１８高危型病毒的整合型感染，而在ＣＩＮⅡ中存在着ＨＰＶ６，１１和ＨＰＶ１６，１８的繁殖性感染及ＨＰＶ１６，１８的整合型感染     

Detection of HPV16 and 18 by in situ hybridization in precancerous and cancerous lesions of cervix

Fifty cervical biopsies from women with preinvasive and invasive malignancies of uterine cervix and ten normal cervical biopsies were examined for the presence of human papilloma virus (HPV) 16 and 18 DNA sequences by in situ hybridization (ISH) method with biotinylated DNA probes. The overall positivity of HPV DNA was 48% (24/50). The positivity of HPV 16 DNA for low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were 33.33%, 45.45%, 42.30% respectively. The positivity for HPV 18 DNA for LSIL, HSIL and SCC were 0%, 18.18%, 30.76% respectively. Two cases of cervical adenocarcinomas showed positivity for HPV 18 DNA only.     

In-situ hybridization using biotinylated DNA probes to human papillomavirus in adenocarcinoma-in-situ and endocervical glandular dysplasia of the uterine cervix.

In-situ hybridization using biotinylated probes to human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA was performed on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue in 30 patients with histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma-in-situ (AIS). Thirteen of the 30 cases contained areas of endocervical glandular dysplasia (EGD) admixed with AIS. Twenty one patients showed positive staining of the AIS nuclei for HPV DNA. Ten cases (33%) were positive for HPV 16 DNA and 11 cases (37%) were positive for HPV 18 DNA. No case showed synchronous expression of HPV 16 and 18 DNA. All cases of AIS were negative for HPV 6b and 11 DNA. Four cases of EGD were positive for HPV 18 DNA and 2 cases were positive for HPV 16 DNA. Four of 6 cases of intestinal dysplasia/AIS were positive for HPV 18 DNA. Associated squamous abnormalities (HPV +/- CIN +/- SCC) were noted in 15 cases. Of these, 7 showed positive staining for HPV DNA in the squamous lesion. Moreover, 5 of these were positive in both the AIS and squamous lesion. In-situ hybridization using biotinylated DNA probes is a sensitive and safe technique readily adaptable to routine histopathology.     

p16INK4a在宫颈细胞学鳞状上皮内瘤变中的意义

目的探讨p16^INK4a的表达在宫颈细胞学中鳞状上皮内瘤变中的意义及其与人乳头状瘤病毒（HPV）型别之间的关系。方法对88例经活检证实的液基细胞学标本[包括20例慢性宫颈炎、18例低度鳞状上皮内瘤变（LSIL）、34例高度鳞状上皮内瘤变（HSIL）及16例鳞状上皮细胞癌（SCC）],分别用免疫细胞化学（EnVision方法）检测其p16^INK4a的表达,并对所有标本用聚合酶链反应（PCR）方法检测HPV型别（包括HPV16、18、31、33、35、39、45、51、52、53、56、58、59、66、68、6、11、42、43及44型）。结果p16^INK4a在慢性宫颈炎组呈阴性,在LSIL、HSIL及SCC组的表达率分别为27．8％、100％及100％,LSIL、HSIL及SCC组p16^INK4a的表达均显著高于慢性宫颈炎组（P〈0．01）;p16^INK4a在高危型HPV感染组的表达率（96．4％）显著高于低危型HPV感染组（7．7％）,差异有统计学意义（t=4．32,P〈0．01）。结论p16^INK4a是一种敏感性较高,特异性较好的标记物,可以识别与高危型HPV有关的非典型鳞状上皮细胞。     

Increased detection of HPV 16 virus in invasive, but not in early cervical cancers.

Human papilloma virus type 16 (HPV 16) DNA is found in about 50% of cervical squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), and this association has raised the possibility of a causal role for HPV 16 in cervical carcinogenesis. We have tested this hypothesis by assaying a series of biopsies (n = 119) ranging from normal mucosa to infiltrating SCC with the PCR-technique for the presence of HPV 16 DNA. While HPV 16 DNA was detected in 50% of our cases with invasive SCC, the incidence of HPV 16-positive samples was about 10% in all other biopsies ranging from normal mucosa to cases of carcinoma in situ. HPV 16 therefore appears to be involved in late tumor promotion but not in early tumor development.     

宫颈鳞状细胞癌和癌前病变中Skp2表达及其与HPV16/18感染的关系

目的 探讨skp2在宫颈鳞状细胞癌和癌前病变中的表达规律及其与人乳头状瘤病毒(HPV)感染之间的关系.方法 采用免疫组织化学(ABC法)和原位杂交检测Skp2蛋白和HPV16/18 DNA在30例正常宫颈鳞状上皮、29例宫颈低级别上皮内瘤变、31例高级别上皮内瘤变和31例宫颈鳞状细胞癌中的表达.结果 Skp2在正常宫颈鳞状上皮中呈阴性,与宫颈低级别上皮内瘤变(阳性表达率为13.8%,4/29)之间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05).随着上皮病变级别升高,表达也逐渐增强,在宫颈鳞状细胞癌中表达更强;HPV16/18 DNA在四组中的阳性表达率,除高级别上皮内瘤变和宫颈鳞状细胞癌两组间差异无统计学意义外(均为96.8%),其余各组之间差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01);在宫颈低级别上皮内瘤变中skp2蛋白表达和HPV感染相关无统计学意义,但在高级别上皮内瘤变和宫颈鳞状细胞癌两组中均呈正相关(γ高级别=0.373,γ癌 =0.416,P<0.05).结论 Skp2过表达主要在宫颈鳞状细胞癌形成的中晚期起作用,可作为一个早期诊断恶性的指标,且可能与HPV16/18感染有协同作用.E7-skp2-Rb可能是HPV感染诱导宫颈鳞状细胞癌形成的一条新致癌途径.     

Detection and localization of human papillomavirus in penile condylomas and squamous cell carcinomas using in situ hybridization with biotinylated DNA viral probes

Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been previously demonstrated in male genital neoplasms using Southern blot hybridization (SBH) and in situ hybridization with radiolabeled probes (ISH-R). In this study we used in situ hybridization with biotinylated DNA viral probes (ISH-B), a technique that can be applied to routinely collected and processed tissue. Thirty cases of exophytic penile condyloma acuminatum and nine cases of invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the penis were examined for the presence of HPV using ISH-B for HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, and 33. HPV DNA was found in 25 of 30 (83%) penile condylomas; HPV type 6 in 13 (43%); and HPV type 11 in 12 (40%). Slight cross-reactivity between HPV types 6 and 11 was noted. None of the condyloma cases was positive for HPV types 16, 18, 31, or 33. One of the nine patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis was positive for HPV 16. In situ hybridization with biotinylated DNA viral probes is a highly sensitive method for detecting and localizing HPV in penile condylomas. This method, however, may not be as sensitive as SBH for detecting HPV in invasive penile squamous cell carcinomas.     

应用基因芯片诊断宫颈石蜡组织样本中人乳头状瘤病毒感染及其临床意义

目的探讨应用基因芯片检测宫颈石蜡组织标本中人乳头状瘤病毒（HPV）感染的可能性及其临床意义。方法收集解放军总医院诊断为宫颈鳞状上皮病变的石蜡组织标本40例,其中宫颈浸润性鳞癌18例,宫颈上皮内瘤变（CIN）Ⅲ12例,CINⅠ4例,CINⅡ6例。从组织中提取DNA后采用基因芯片检测23种常见HPV基因亚型,即PCR扩增后产物在基因芯片上进行杂交。同时选用10例经基因芯片检测16型和18型基因阳性的宫颈鳞癌的石蜡组织切片做原位杂交。基因芯片检测结果与部分原位杂交结果进行比较并分析。结果基因芯片检测的18例宫颈鳞癌HPV高危亚型均为阳性（100％）,其中1例为混合阳性;12例CINⅢ中11例为高危亚型阳性（91．7％）,1例阴性;6例CINⅡ的宫颈病变中高危型5例阳性,低危型1例阳性;4例CINⅠ中有2例低危型阳性、2例阴性;宫颈鳞癌和CINⅢ组与CINⅠ和Ⅱ组比较,差异有统计学意义（U=80．0,P〈0．01）。10例宫颈鳞癌基因芯片HPV16型和18型阳性组织中,原位杂交同型探针6例检测显示阳性。结论HPV基因芯片技术可用于检测多种亚型,特异性强,敏感性高,对HPV感染亚型的鉴别及宫颈癌的预防和治疗具有重要意义。     

Human papillomavirus in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Thirty seven cases of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma were studied by applying DNA slot blot analysis and in situ hybridisation using type specific probes for HPV 6, 11, 16 and 18. Cases of condyloma accuminata, cervical carcinoma, and laryngeal papilloma were used as controls. Blocks including areas of invasive carcinoma, intraepithelial neoplasia, and normal epithelium were studied in each case. No HPV genome was detectable in any of the oesophageal cases. It is concluded that these types of HPV do not have an association with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma.     

Multiple HPV genotypes in cervical carcinomas: improved DNA detection and typing in archival tissues.

BACKGROUND: Human papillomaviruses (HPV) have been considered to be the necessary and central agents of cervical carcinoma. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and genotypes of HPV in archival cervical carcinomas. STUDY DESIGN: The study included 152 paraffin-embedded, formaldehyde-fixed cervical carcinoma specimens. To improve the detection and typing of HPV in archival tissues, we conducted a comprehensive study in which, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods using E7 type-specific (TS) and L1 modified general primers (MY11/GP6+ and GP5+/GP6+) were employed. RESULTS: Overall HPV prevalence was 98% in the cervical carcinomas. HPV 16 was detected in 66% of the tumors, HPV 18 in 22%, HPV 31 in 13%, HPV 33 in 9%, and HPV 58 in 9%. Notably, multiple HPV types were present in 44 (28.9%) of the 152 cervical carcinomas. The most common co-infections were HPV types 16/18 (12 cases), followed by HPV types 16/31 (7 cases). Additionally, HPV 18 was more frequent in adenocarcinomas and adenosquamous carcinomas (86%) than in squamous cell carcinomas (15.8%) (P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS: The combination of L1 general primers and E7 type-specific primers can be of use in detecting HPV DNA in archival tissues. The present study showed a high frequency of multiple HPV infections in cervical carcinomas. Hence, relevant HPV typing information in cervical carcinoma is very important for further HPV vaccine design and application.     

Prevalence,viral load,and physical status of HPV 16 and 18 in cervical adenosquamous carcinoma

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a rare mixture of malignant squamous and glandular epithelial elements and accounts for approximately 10% of cervical carcinomas. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the prevalence, physical status, and viral load of HPV 16 and 18 in adenosquamous carcinoma. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples from 20 cases of histologically diagnosed adenosquamous carcinoma were examined. The squamous and glandular components were separately microdissected and analyzed for their HPV DNA subtype, viral load, and physical status using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The percentages of HPV 16- and 18-positive cases among all the HPV-positive cases were 36.8% (7/19) and 57.9% (11/19) in the squamous epithelial elements and 33.3% (6/18) and 61.1% (11/18) in the glandular elements, respectively. PCR analysis with E2 primers revealed that seven of eleven (63.6%) HPV 18-positive cases had the pure integrated form in both elements. The mean HPV 16 DNA copy numbers/cell was 7.22 in the squamous elements and 1.33 in the glandular elements (p = 0.04) while the corresponding mean HPV 18 DNA copy numbers/cell was 1.50 and 0.89, respectively. The prevalence of HPV 18 in adenosquamous carcinoma was high and many HPV 18-positive cases were the pure integrated form resulting in very low copy numbers/cell. It is possible that more aggressive transformation with early integration of HPV 18 results in cases with greater chromosomal instabilities, higher growth rates, and rapid progression.     

Demonstration of multiple HPV types in normal cervix and in cervical squamous cell carcinoma using the polymerase chain reaction on paraffin wax embedded material.

The prevalence of human papilloma virus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16 and 18 was investigated using the polymerase chain reaction on formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded material in 19 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma and in 10 normal cervices. HPV DNA was detected in 16 of 19 carcinomas, with multiple types present in 11 of these. HPV 16 or 18, or both, were present in all cases in which HPV was shown. Six of 10 cases of normal cervix contained HPV; five of these contained two or more HPV types, including HPV 16 or 18, or both. This study shows the feasibility of using the PCR on paraffin wax embedded material and indicates a high rate of carriage of multiple HPV types in both normal and neoplastic cervix.     

Evidence of human papilloma virus infection but lack of Epstein-Barr virus in lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of uterine cervix: report of two cases and review of the literature

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) of uterine cervix is an uncommon variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We report here 2 new cases in which DNA sequences from human papilloma virus (HPV) types 16 and 18 were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). To the best of our knowledge, HPV infection has not been previously described in similar cases occuring in European women. Moreover, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is frequently associated with cervical LELC in Asian women, was absent in our 2 cases. These results suggest that HPVs but not EBV can play a role in the pathogenesis of LELC occuring in women originating from Western countries.     

TP53 gene expression in HPV-positive oral tongue SCC and its correlation with nodal metastasis

In this study, we investigated the prevalence of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and TP53 expression in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue and, subsequently, its significance in cervical lymph node metastases and tumor differentiation. Sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks from 94 histologically confirmed tongue SCC cases were investigated in this study. Immunohistochemistry was used to study TP53 expression, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed for the detection of high risk HPV types (16 and 18). The frequency of HPV-16 and HPV-18 infection was 10.6% and 16%, respectively. Overexpression of TP53 was observed in 70.2% of patients. Young patients (aged below 45 years) comprised 20% of all patients. There was no significant association between TP53, HPV-16, or HPV 18 presence and higher stages of the tumor, tumor differentiation, or presence of nodal metastasis. Although an association between head and neck SCC and HPV infection is being recognized and reported, our data implicate that HPV infection or TP53 expression does not play a significant role in oral tongue SCC pathogenesis, differentiation, or metastasis, as seen in our patients.     

Assessing for primary oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma from fine needle aspiration of cervical lymph node metastases

In fine needle aspirates of cervical lymph nodes with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the site of origin may not be clinically evident. The distinction between oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal primary SCC has important management consequences. In the current study, we evaluated metastatic SCC for HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 51 (by in situ hybridization[ISH]), p16 and ProExC (surrogate HPV markers), and Epstein Barr Virus reported in nasopharyngeal SCC. Forty patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2008, with adequate cell block material were identified. ISH for high risk HPV and EBV (EBER), and immunohistochemistry for p16 and ProExC were performed. Primary site was designated in 31 cases with 26 head and neck including 11 oropharyngeal and 2 nasopharyngeal, and 5 other sites. High risk HPV was detected in 9 cases (22.5%), p16 in 16 (40%), ProExC in 35 (87.5%), and EBER in 2 (5%). All cases with high risk HPV ISH also showed overexpression of p16. The sensitivity for HPV infection by both surrogate markers was 100%; specificity for p16 and ProExC was 78.7 and 16.1%, respectively. Seven (63.6%) oropharyngeal SCC were positive for HPV ISH and negative for EBV; one nasopharyngeal SCC (50%) was EBER positive and HPV negative. HPV and EBER detection can serve as indicators for oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal primary SCC, respectively, however our data show that only a subset (63.6%) of oropharyngeal SCC are high risk HPV‐related. Additionally, despite their high sensitivity for HPV infection, surrogate markers, especially ProExC, lack specificity. Diagn. Cytopathol. 2010;38:795‐800. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.     

Identification of human papillomaviruses in paraffin embedded cervical pathological tissues from Indian women by polymerase chain reaction.

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology was used to identify human papillomaviruses (HPV) in 52 paraffin embedded cervical tissues from Indian women with chronic cervicitis, different grades of cervical dysplasia and invasive cervical carcinoma. The tissues were screened for amplification of the cellular beta-globin gene as well as of HPVs. Sets of primers designed to amplify a portion of the E6 gene of HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33 and 35 were employed. HPV 6, 16 and 31 were identified in 58% of 33 beta-globin positive tissues as compared to 16% of 19 beta-globin negative tissues. HPV 11, 18, 33 and 35 were not identified in any of the specimens. Double infection of HPV 16 and 31 was observed in one case of carcinoma in situ and one case of invasive carcinoma. HPV-16 was the predominant virus in HPV positive cases of higher grades of cervical dysplasia (severe dysplasia and carcinoma in situ) and cervical cancer.     

Type-specific human papillomavirus distribution in invasive cervical carcinomas in Paraguay. A study of 432 cases

Cervical carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor among woman in Paraguay. Cytological screening programs have not been successful and a plan for human papillomavirus (HPV) based‐screening program and/or vaccination is under evaluation. This study aimed to identify the contribution of HPV genotypes in invasive cervical cancer in Paraguay to provide essential background data to guide and assess the introduction and impact of new preventive strategies based on HPV. Four hundred thirty two histologically confirmed cases (1960–2004) were analyzed. HPV detection in paraffin blocks was performed at the Catalan Institute of Oncology using PCR with SPF‐10 broad spectrum primers followed by DNA enzyme immunoassay and genotyping with a reverse hybridization line probe analysis. The majority of cases were squamous cell carcinoma (92.8%). Mean patients age was 48 years old. HPV DNA was detected in 73.1% of the cases and single infections were predominant (97.8%). The most common HPV single types were 16, 18, 45, 33, 31, 52, 35, and 39. 73.1% of HPV positive cases had an HPV 16, 18 as single infection. HPV16 was frequent in SCC whereas HPV 18 and 45 were prevalent in glandular tumors. Significant decrease of HPV 16 with age groups (P‐trend = 0.022) and increase in other HPV types (P‐trend > 0.001) were observed. The potential impact of HPV 16 and 18 for a vaccination program was 73.1%. The study provide a profile of the HPV situation in the country, with robust clinical, pathological and virological data which would permit a better cervical cancer screening and vaccination programs.

Prevalence of genital HPV infections in a regularly screened population in The Netherlands in relation to cervical cytology

To determine the prevalence of human papilloma virus (HPV) genotypes in relation to cervical cytology, 1,290 cervical samples from a regularly screened population of 30-55-year-old women were investigated. Gynaecological specimens, obtained from the cervix, were cytologically classified and screened for the presence of HPVs 6/11 and 16/18 using dot-spot DNA hybridisation. Of the cervical samples containing unequivocally normal cells, 21 of 1,271 (1.6%) were found positive for HPV, and of the cervical samples containing cells with mild dysplasia, 6 of 14 (43%) were found positive for HPV. All five samples containing cells consistent with severe dysplasia or carcinoma in situ were found positive for HPV. Approximately 50% of the HPV-positive samples contained HPV 16 and/or HPV 18 DNA.     

Detection of human papillomavirus DNA in cervical lesions by in-situ DNA hybridization

Authors examined paraffin sections of 50 cervical specimens from 34 cases for the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) type 6b, 11, 16, 18, 31 and 33 by in-situ hybridization using 35S-labelled HPV DNA probes. Specimens were classified according to the degree of dysplasia after histological examination. Viral nucleic acids were detected in 30 of 50 tissues (60%) in which 15 specimens had single, 10 double, 4 triple and 1 quadruple viral infections. In some cases, different viral nucleic acids were detected at separate sites in the same patient. Overall, no great variation in the frequency of each HPV was detected, but a pattern became apparent when the frequencies were compared with the grade of dysplasia. CIN II/III lesions contained one or more of the HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33 which are frequently associated with cervical carcinoma. In-situ hybridization offers sensitive means of investigating viral infection, gene expression and neoplastic transformation.     

Human papillomavirus genotyping by oligonucleotide microarray and p16 expression in uterine cervical intraepithelial neoplasm and in invasive carcinoma in Korean women

For evaluating the diagnostic significance of p16(INK4A) over-expression in the uterine cervical intraepithelial neoplasm and in invasive carcinoma, human papillomavirus (HPV) was detected and genotyped by oligonucleotide microarray in archival tissues of 117 cervical specimens, including 47 invasive squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), 30 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), 20 adenocarcinomas, and 20 cases of non-neoplastic cervix. The expression of p16(INK4A) protein was immunohistochemically studied in these cases and in five HPV-positive and one HPV-negative cervical cancer cell lines. HPV was detected in 50% of CIN, 61.7% of SCC, and 45.5% of adenocarcinomas. p16(INK4A) expression was seen in all 20 cases of adenocarcinoma, 78.7% (37/47) of SCC, and 96.7% (29/30) of CIN, but not in any cases of the non-neoplastic cervix. There was no difference in p16(INK4A) expression between the HPV-positive and HPV-negative cervical lesions. All HPV-positive and -negative cervical cancer cell lines expressed p16(INK4A) protein. In conclusion, the presence of p16(INK4A) expression in cervical squamous and glandular epithelium indicates the existence of dysplasia or malignancy in the uterine cervix, regardless of HPV infection.
