HPV mRNA检测在宫颈癌诊断中的研究

根据国际癌症研究机构(IARC)报道,仅在2012年全世界就有超过25万女性死于宫颈癌,这是女性相关癌症的第四大死因[1].不管是生物学研究还是流行病学研究都已经证实宫颈癌与人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)感染息息相关[2]l.单独的HPV感染可能会引起大约5％的病毒相关的癌症发生,但是却是宫颈癌发病的全部因素[3].目前已经有120多种不同基因型的HPV,根据其临床表现可分为低风险型和高风险型,然而只有少数的HPV能够导致癌症的发生[4].本文就HPV致宫颈癌的发生和HPV的实验室检查以及HPV mRNA的相关进展做一些简要论述.

HPV DNA、E6/E7 mRNA在各子宫颈病变及子宫颈鳞状细胞癌中的表达

目的 探讨HPV DNA和E6/E7 mRNA在各子宫颈病变及子宫颈鳞状细胞癌(cervical squamous cell carcinoma,CSCC)中的表达,并分析其与CSCC发生、发展的相关性。方法 应用PCR-反向杂交法和支链DNA技术对210例低级别鳞状上皮内病变(low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion,LSIL)、200例高级别鳞状上皮内病变(high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion,HSIL)及240例CSCC进行HPV DNA及E6/E7 mRNA的检测。结果 HSIL、CSCC中,HPV DNA百分率分别为100.00%、89.58%,呈递减趋势(P0.001);E6/E7 mRNA百分率分别为52.50%、95.83%,呈递增趋势(P0.001);HPV DNA+/mRNA+的百分率分别为52.50%、87.50%,呈递增趋势(P0.001);HPV DNA-/mRNA-的百分率分别为0、6.25%,呈递增趋势(P0.001)。LSIL、HSIL中,HPV DNA百分率均大于E6/E7 mRNA百分率,差异有统计学意义(P0.001);而CSCC中HPV DNA百分率均小于E6/E7 mRNA百分率,差异有统计学意义(P=0.008)。结论 HPV DNA在LSIL、HSIL中的表达较E6/E7 mRNA高;CSCC中HPV DNA表达较E6/E7 mRNA低,因此HPV DNA标志物可能与CSCC的发生过程关系较为紧密;E6/E7 mRNA标志物可能与CSCC的发展相关性更高。     

Human papillomavirus (HPV) E6/E7 mRNA as a triage test after detection of HPV 16 and HPV 18 DNA

High‐risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA detection provides high sensitivity but low specificity for moderate‐grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or worse histological identification. A prospective study evaluated mRNA testing efficacy for predicting this histological diagnosis in case of HPV 16 and/or 18 DNA detection. A total of 165 endocervical samples harboring HPV 16 and/or 18 DNA were tested with NucliSENS‐EasyQ® HPV E6/E7‐mRNA‐assay (Biomerieux, Marcy l´Etoile, France). Women with cytological alterations were referred to colposcopy (n = 111). Moderate‐grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or worse was diagnosed in 25.8% of women presenting atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance or low‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions and in 89.8% of women with high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions. mRNA sensitivity was 81.3% and 84.1%, respectively. Specificity was 52.2%, and 80.0%, respectively. Negative predictive value (NPV) was 88.9% in undetermined or low‐grade squamous lesions. Positive predictive value (PPV) was 97.4% in high‐grade squamous lesions. mRNA reduced colposcopies by 44.3% in undetermined or low‐grade squamous lesions. Direct treatment of mRNA‐positive cases reduced 77.5% of colposcopies in high‐grade squamous lesions. Women without cytological alterations were followed for 18 months (n = 35), and moderate‐grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or worse was diagnosed in 34.3%; mRNA sensitivity and specificity were 83.3% and 86.9%, respectively. PPV and NPV were 76.9% and 90.9%, respectively for predicting moderate‐grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or worse in 18 months. mRNA reduced the number of visits for follow‐up in 62.2%. In conclusion, NucliSENS‐EasyQ® HPV E6/E7‐mRNA‐assay (Biomerieux) can serve as a triage test in case of HPV 16 and/or 18 DNA detection. J. Med.

Subcellular localization of the human papillomavirus 16 E7 oncoprotein in CaSki cells and its detection in cervical adenocarcinoma and adenocarcinoma in situ

E7 is the major oncoprotein of high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) which causes cervical cancer. To date E7 oncoproteins have not been investigated in cervical adenocarcinoma. In this study we generated a rabbit monoclonal anti-HPV-16 E7 antibody, RabMab42-3, which recognizes a conformational epitope in the E7 carboxy-terminal zinc-finger resulting in a strong increase in the sensitivity for the detection of cell-associated HPV-16 E7 protein relative to conventional polyclonal anti-HPV-16 E7 antibodies. Using RabMab42-3, we show that the subcellular localization of endogenous HPV-16 E7 oncoprotein varies during the cell cycle in cervical cancer cells. Moreover, we demonstrate for the first time that the HPV-16 E7 oncoprotein is abundantly expressed in cervical adenocarcinoma in situ and adenocarcinoma, suggesting an important role of HPV-16 E7 for the development of these tumors. Our findings suggest that the HPV-16 E7 oncoprotein could be a useful marker for the detection of cervical adenocarcinoma and their precursors.     

Usefulness of high-risk HPV early oncoprotein (E6 and E7) serological markers in the detection of cervical cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

We reviewed the literature on the importance of selected anti-high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) antibodies (namely, 16/18 and early oncoproteins E6 and E7) as potential serological markers for early detection of individuals at high risk of cervical cancer. We searched for studies in PubMed and Embase databases published from 2010 to 2020 on antibodies against HR-HPV E6 and E7 early proteins and cervical cancer. Pooled sensitivity and specificity for HPV16 and HPV18 antibodies were calculated using a bivariate hierarchical random-effects model. A total of 69 articles were identified; we included three studies with 1550 participants. For the three HPV16/18 E6 and E7 antibody tests, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based assays had a sensitivity of 18% for detecting CIN2+ (95% confidence interval [CI]: 15–21) and a specificity of 96% (95% CI: 92–98), for slot-blot, sensitivity was 28.9% (95% CI: 23.3–35.1) and specificity was 72% (95% CI: 66.6–77.0) for detecting CIN2+, and for multiplex HPV serology assay based on a glutathione S-transferase, sensitivity was 16% (95% CI: 8.45–28.6) and specificity was 98% (95% CI: 97–99) for detecting invasive cervical cancer. HR-HPV16/18 E6 and E7 serological markers showed high specificity, but sensitivity was suboptimal for the detection of cervical cancer in either population screening settings or as point-of-care screening tests.     

Phage display for site-specific immunization and characterization of high-risk human papillomavirus specific E7 monoclonal antibodies

The paper describes a method to use filamentous phage to display specific regions of proteins for immunization in order to direct the immune response towards a pre-defined region of the protein. The method called site-specific immunization (SSI) was evaluated using the E7 protein of oncogenic (high-risk) human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 as a model system. This protein consists of sequence blocks also present in other viral and cellular proteins and in the corresponding protein of low-risk HPVs. A fragment of the HPV16 E7 oncoprotein specific for a group of high-risk viruses was identified by sequence comparison and displayed on filamentous phages in fusion with the major phage coat protein VIII. The recombinant phages triggered an immune response in mice against the full-length HPV16 E7 protein. Fusion of B-lymphocytes from the immunized animals with myeloma cells resulted in three hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) with reactivity against the endogenous E7 protein. The specificity of the MAbs for the HPV16 E7 protein in cancer cell lines was confirmed by Western blot analyses and immunocytochemistry. The epitope of each MAb was roughly mapped by determining the reactivity against overlapping E7 fragments displayed on phage particles. The mimotopes of the MAbs were further determined by biopanning against a randomized peptide library displayed on phage and found to be unique for a sub-set of high-risk HPV E7 proteins. The combination of different phage display techniques for immunization and epitope mapping was efficient for generation and characterization of highly specific MAbs.

Evaluation of clinical performance of a novel urine-based HPV detection assay among women attending a colposcopy clinic

BackgroundHuman papillomavirus (HPV) testing in urine offers a convenient approach for cervical cancer screening but has previously suffered from limited clinical sensitivity.ObjectivesWe evaluated clinical performance of the prototype Trovagene HPV test, a novel polymerase chain reaction assay that targets the E1 region of the HPV genome and detects and amplifies short fragments of cell-free HPV DNA in urine.Study designWe conducted a pilot study among 72 women referred to colposcopy following abnormal screening. Participants provided a urine sample prior to clinician-collected cervical sampling and colposcopically-directed punch biopsy. Trovagene HPV test results on urine samples were compared with cervical and urine testing by Linear Array HPV Genotyping Test (LA-HPV) for detection of histologically-confirmed cervical precancerous lesions.ResultsThere was high concordance between urine samples tested by the Trovagene HPV test and corresponding cervical (87.5%) and urine (81.9%) samples tested by LA-HPV. The Trovagene HPV test had high sensitivity (92.3% for detecting CIN2/3, and 100% for CIN3), comparable to LA-HPV testing on cervical samples (96.0% and 100%, respectively), and higher than LA-HPV testing on urine samples (80.8% and 90.0%, respectively). In this referral population, the specificity of the Trovagene urine HPV test was non-significantly lower (29% for CIN2/3 and 25% for CIN3) than corresponding estimates of LA-HPV testing on cervical (36% and 28%, respectively) and urine (42% and 38%, respectively) samples.ConclusionsThis pilot study suggests that the Trovagene HPV test has high sensitivity for urine-based detection of cervical precancer and merits evaluation in larger studies.     

人乳头状瘤病毒16 E7 DNA在结直肠腺癌组织中的表达

结直肠癌与人类乳头状瘤病毒(Human papilloma virus,HPV)感染有一定的关系,但由于检测方法、标本选择及样本数量不同,各研究结果之间差异很大。为进一步明确结直肠癌变与HPV16感染的关系,采用多聚酶链反应(Polymerase chain reaction,PCR)对82例原发性结直肠腺癌患者手术切除的新鲜癌及癌旁正常粘膜组织进行了前瞻性对照研究,检测了组织中HPV16E7DNA的表达并进行测序鉴定。结果显示,结直肠腺癌组织HPV16E7的表达阳性率(42/82)明显高于癌旁正常粘膜组织(4/82);直肠癌组织中HPV16E7的表达(64.10%)明显高于升结肠癌(18.18%),即癌灶部位距肛门越近,感染率越高;HPV16阳性率与Dukes分期相关,Dukes分期越晚感染率越高;与癌组织分化程度无相关性。结果提示结直肠癌的发生、发展可能与HPV16感染有关。

E6-E7 based nested multiplex PCR assay for genital HPV detection and simultaneous typing of 15 high and low-risk HPV types

PurposeDue to a wide range of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types associated with genital cancers; HPV genotyping remains important for the introduction of an appropriate vaccine, disease diagnosis, follow-up and epidemiological surveys. Currently, available molecular genotyping assays are not only expensive but also requires dedicated and expensive equipment which is not feasible in the majority of low-and-middle-socioeconomic countries. The purpose of the study was to develop and evaluated a cost-effective nested-multiplex polymerase chain reaction (NM-PCR) assay for HPV genotyping.MethodsHPV-DNA containing plasmids and cervical scrapings from histologically confirmed cervical cancer cases were used to evaluate the NM-PCR. In the first round PCR, a set of consensus primers were used to amplify 38 mucosal HPV types. HPV Type-specific primers were used in the second-round polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify 15 HPV types in three multiplex cocktails. The assay sensitivity was determined with the control panel containing one to 10¹⁰genome equivalents (GE). DNA sequencing was done to confirm the PCR results.ResultsThe assay was able to amplify all HPV types and detected as few as 50GE per reaction. A total of 23 endo-cervical samples obtained from healthy, HPV negative subjects and 52 histologically confirmed cervical scrapings were processed for HPV genotyping by NM-PCR. HPV DNA was detected in all histologically confirmed samples. DNA sequencing results showed complete concordance with PCR results.ConclusionsThe designed nested PCR based assay had good concordance with clinical histology and sequencing results and appears to be a promising tool for HPV genotyping especially in resource-constrained settings.
