Abstract
Cervical cancer is closely linked to specific strains of human papillomavirus (HPV), notably HPV-33 and HPV-58, which exhibit a significant prevalence among women in China. Nevertheless, the codon usage bias in HPV-33 and HPV-58 is not well comprehended. The objective of this research is to analyze the codon usage patterns HPV-33 and HPV-58, pinpoint the primary factors that influence codon preference. The overall preference for codon usage in two HPV genotypes is not significant. Both HPV genotypes exhibit a preference for codons that end with A/U. The GC3 content for HPV-33 is 25.43% ± 0.35%, and for HPV-58, it is 29.44% ± 0.57%. Out of the 26 favored codons in HPV-33 and HPV-58 (relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) > 1), 25 conclude with A/U. Principal component analysis (PCA) shows a tight clustering of the entire genome sequences of HPV-33 and HPV-58, suggesting a similarity in their RSCU preferences. Moreover, an examination of dinucleotide abundance indicated that translation selection influenced the development of a distinctive dinucleotide usage pattern in HPV-33 and HPV-58. Additionally, a combined analysis involving an effective number of codons plot, parity rule 2, and neutrality analysis demonstrated that, for HPV-33 and HPV-58, the primary determinant influencing codon usage preference is natural selection. HPV-33 and HPV-58 exhibit a restricted set of favored codons in common with humans, potentially mitigating competition for translation resources. Our discoveries could provide valuable perspectives on the evolutionary patterns and codon usage preferences of HPV-33 and HPV-58 viruses, contributing to the development and application of relevant HPV subtype vaccines.

Verification of HPV16 as a good prognostic factor for cervical adeno-adenosquamous carcinoma via an international collaborative study. Taiwan J Obstet Gynecol 2022; 61:494-500. [PMID: 35595444 DOI: 10.1016/j.tjog.2022.03.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 10/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study (Asian Gynecologic Oncology Group [AGOG]13-001/Taiwanese Gynecologic Oncology Group [TGOG]1006) was to validate human papillomavirus (HPV)16 as an independent good prognostic factor and investigate the impact of treatment modalities to cervical adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma (AD/ASC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients receiving primary treatment at AGOG and TGOG member hospitals for cervical AD/ASC were retrospectively (1993-2014) and prospectively (since 2014) enrolled. DNA extraction from paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) specimens was used for HPV genotyping. Those with suspected endometrial origin were excluded for analysis. RESULTS A total of 354 patients with valid HPV results were enrolled, 287 (81.1%) of which had HPV-positive tumors. The top-3 types were HPV 18 (50.8%), HPV16 (22.9%) and HPV45 (4.0%). The HPV16-negativity rates varied widely across hospitals. 322 patients were eligible for prognostic analyses. By multivariate analysis, advanced stage (HR5.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.1-15.8; HR5.8, 95% CI 1.6-20.5), lymph node metastasis (HR4.6, 95% CI 2.7-7.9; HR7.3, 95% CI 3.8-14.0), and HPV16-positivity (HR0.3, 95% CI 0.1-0.6; HR0.3, 95% CI 0.1-0.9) were independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Stage I patients with primary surgery had better 5-year PFS (82.8% vs 50.0% p = 0.020) and OS (89.3% vs 57.1%, p = 0.017) than those with non-primary surgery, while the propensity scores distribution were similar among the treatment groups. CONCLUSION This study confirmed that HPV16-positivity was a good prognostic factor for PFS and OS in AD/ASC, and patients seemed to have better outcome with primary surgery than non-primary surgery.

Abstract
Objective To study the clinical features of HPV58-positive cervical cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis of 347 patients with HPV58- or HPV16 positive cervical cancer from the Department of Gynecology Tumor of Guangxi Medical University Affiliated Cancer Hospital was performed. Molecular hybridization was used to detect HPV genotypes. The clinical features, including age, pathology, and invasion, were compared between the HPV58 positive and HPV16 positive cervical cancer groups. Results A total of 347 patients were eligible for this study, and the proportion of patients who were with poorly differentiated cancer (P = 0.015) was significantly higher in the HPV58 positive group. HPV58 positivity was an independent risk factor for poorly differentiated cancer [HR 2.156, 95% confidence interval: 1.167–3.984, P = 0.014]. The percentage of uterus corps invasion is significantly lower in HPV58 (p = 0.041), but HPV58 positivity is the independent risk factor for uterus corps invasion [HR = 3.985, 95% confidence interval: 1.066–14.893, P = 0.040]. The overall survival of HPV58-positive cervical cancer patients with uterine corpus invasion was significantly lower (P = 0.000). The age of patients in the HPV58-positive cervical cancer at advanced stage was significantly older (P = 0.045). Conclusions HPV58-positive cervical cancer patients are at higher risk of poorly differentiated cancer and uterus corps invasion. The patients with HPV58 positive cervical cancer with uterus corps invasion may result a worse prognosis.

Abstract
Background and Objective Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing has become a preferred cervical cancer screening. However, most HPV infections are harmless and additional tests are required to screen HPV positive women. The objective of this study is to determine the optimal triage strategies for HPV positive women in China’s rural population. Methods A population-based screening was performed at seven rural counties of Jiangxi province, between October 2014 to January 2016. A total of 18,000 women aged 35–64 years were enrolled in this study. The primary screening was performed using CareHPV, HC-2, Cobas ®4,800 or HybriMax. Positive women were further screened with five triage tests: (1) Liquid-based cytology test (LBC); (2) conventional Pap cytology test (Pap smear); (3) HPV16, 18 detection; (4) viral load; and (5) visual inspection with acetic acid and Lugol’s iodine (VIA/VILI). Women who were tested positive were referred for colposcopy. The five triage tests were compared with respect to sensitivity, specificity, referral rate, cost and diagnostic time. Results Complete data were available for 17,782 women. The HPV prevalence was 13.6%. Referral rates for colposcopy were 4.5%, 2.8%, 2.8%, 6.6%, and 3.7% with LBC, Pap smear, HPV16/18, viral load, and VIA/VILI, respectively. The sensitivity of the above triage tests was 65.8%, 51.9%, 86.8%, 73.3%, and 41.7%, respectively. The specificity was 69.8%, 81.0%, 85.8%, 52.2% and 65.3%, respectively. The average time to diagnosis was significantly lower with HPV16/18, viral load and VIA/VILI than LBC and Pap smear. In addition, screening cost that leads to identify one HSIL+ woman was the lowest with viral load. Conclusion Our data indicate that HPV16/18 and viral load are the optimal triage strategies for HPV screening in China’s rural population.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus 58 (HPV58) ranks the second or third in East Asian cervical cancers. Current studies on HPV58 are scarce and focus on the prototype. Previously, we identified the three most common circulating HPV58 E7 strains contained amino acid alterations: G41R/G63D (51%), T20I/G63S (22%) and T74A/D76E (14%) respectively. Among them, the T20I/G63S variant (V1) had a stronger epidemiological association with cervical cancer. We therefore suggested that V1 possessed stronger oncogenicity than the other two variants. Here, we performed phenotypic assays to characterize and compare their oncogenicities with HPV58 E7 prototype. Our results showed that overexpression of V1 conferred a higher colony-forming ability to primary murine epithelial cells than prototype (P < 0.05) and other variants, implicating its higher immortalising potential. Further experiments showed that both V1 and prototype enhanced the anchorage-independent growth of NIH/3T3 cells (P < 0.001), implicating their stronger transforming power than the two other variants. Moreover, they possessed an increased ability to degrade pRb (P < 0.001), which is a major effector pathway of E7-driven oncogenesis. Our work represents the first study to compare the oncogenicities of HPV58 E7 prototype and variants. These findings deepened our understanding of HPV58 and might inform clinical screening and follow-up strategy.

Human papillomavirus genotype and prognosis of cervical cancer: Favorable survival of patients with HPV16-positive tumors. PAPILLOMAVIRUS RESEARCH 2018; 6:41-45. [PMID: 30347290 PMCID: PMC6218653 DOI: 10.1016/j.pvr.2018.10.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2018] [Revised: 07/28/2018] [Accepted: 10/17/2018] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The prognostic impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) type on invasive cervical cancer (ICC) was analyzed for 137 women treated for ICC at a single institution between 1999 and 2007. The study subjects were divided into three groups according to HPV genotype: HPV16-positive (n = 59), HPV18-positive (n = 33), and HPV16/18-negative ICC (non-HPV16/18, n = 45). The median follow-up time was 102.5 months (range, 5–179). The 10-year overall survival (10y-OS) rates in women with FIGO stage I/II disease were similar among HPV genotypes: 94.7% for HPV16 (n = 39), 95.2% for HPV18 (n = 26), and 96.4% for non-HPV16/18 (n = 29). However, the 10y-OS rates in women with FIGO stage III/IV tumors were 73.7% for HPV16 (n = 20), 45.7% for HPV18 (n = 7), and 35.7% for other types (n = 16), with significantly higher survival in HPV16-positive compared with HPV16-negative ICC (10y-OS; 73.7% vs. 39.5%, P = 0.04). This difference in FIGO stage III/IV tumors remained significant after adjusting for age and histology (hazard ratio 0.30, 95% confidence interval 0.09–0.86, P = 0.02). These results suggest that detection of HPV16 DNA may be associated with a favorable prognosis in patients with FIGO stage III/IV ICC. Given that most women with FIGO stage III/IV tumors received concurrent chemoradiotherapy, this finding may imply that HPV16-positive tumors are more chemoradiosensitive.

Abstract
High-risk HPV (hrHPV) is related to cervical carcinogenesis, although clinical data comparing the natural history and carcinogenic potential of type-specific HPV remain limited. Furthermore, the nationwide prevalence rates of overall and type-specific HPV among women with cervical precancerous lesions and cancer have not been reported. Here, a meta-analysis was performed for type-specific HPV distribution among 30,165 HPV-positive women, including 12,094 invasive cervical cancers (ICCs), 10,026 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 (CIN2/3), 3246 CIN1, and 4799 normal cervices from 45 PCR-based studies. We found that HPV16 was the most common hrHPV type involved in cervical disease. The HPV16 positivity rate varied little across normal (22.7%) and CIN1 individuals (23.6%) but increased through the CIN2 (37.6%) and CIN3 patients (51.9%) to 65.6% in ICC cases. HPV16, 18, 35, 39, 45, and 59 were more frequent in ICC than CIN3, with ICC:CIN3 ratios ranging from 2.3 for HPV18 to 1.1 for HPV35/45. HPV31, 33, 52, and 58 were more frequent in CIN3 compared with normal cervices but less common in ICC compared with CIN3 (ICC:CIN3 ratios ranging from 0.6 for HPV58 and 0.4 for HPV52). The ICC:normal ratios were particularly high for HPV18, 52 and 58 in West China (4.1, 3.9 and 2.9, respectively) and for HPV45 and 59 in North China (1.6 and 1.1, respectively). In summary, this study is the most comprehensive analysis of type-specific HPV distribution in cervical carcinogenesis and could be valuable for HPV-based cervical cancer screening strategies and vaccination policies in China.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is well known as a major etiological risk factor associated with carcinogenesis in uterine cervical cancer. However, few reports have investigated the association between HPV genotype and outcome in patients with uterine cervical cancer following radiotherapy (RT). The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between the HPV genotype and clinical outcome following RT in Japanese patients with uterine cervical cancer. Between November 2001 and August 2006, 157 Japanese women with uterine cervical cancer were treated with RT or concurrent chemoradiotherapy with curative intent. Pretreatment, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded biopsies were obtained from 83 patients. HPV genotypes were determined using the polymerase chain reaction method. Patients were categorized, according to HPV L1 protein sequence homology, into the HPV α-9 (HPV 16, 31, 33, 52, and 58), HPV α-7 (HPV 18, 39, 45, 59, and 68) or 'other' (HPV 51 and 56) groups. Associations between HPV genotype and clinical outcome following RT were evaluated. A total of 54 (65.1%) tumors were HPV α-9-positive, 13 (15.7%) were HPV α-7-positive, 2 (2.4%) were categorized under 'other' and 14 (16.9%) were HPV-negative. There were no significant differences in age, FIGO stage, regional lymph node metastases rate at diagnosis, or concurrent chemotherapy administration between the HPV α-9 and α-7 groups. The median follow-up period was 52 months (range, 2-156 months). The 5-year disease-free survival rates were 54.5 and 30.8% in the HPV α-9 and α-7 groups, respectively (P=0.034), and the 5-year distant metastasis rates were 38.0 and 69.2%, respectively (P=0.015). There were no significant differences in the 5-year local control or overall survival (OS) rates between the two groups. HPV genotype affected the 5-year distant metastatic rate, however not the 5-year local control or OS rate in patients with uterine cervical cancer following RT.

Abstract
Background Invasive cervical cancer (ICC) is the third most common malignant neoplasm affecting Brazilian women. Little is known about the impact of specific HPV genotypes in the prognosis of ICC. We hypothesized that HPV genotype would impact ICC clinical presentation and survival. Methods Women diagnosed with ICC at the Instituto do Câncer do Estado de São Paulo (ICESP) between May 2008 and June 2012 were included in the study and were followed until December 2015. HPV genotype was detected from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue samples using Onclarity™ system (BD Viper™ LT automated system). Results 292 patients aged 50±14 years were analyzed. HPVDNA was detected in 84% of patients. The HPV genotypes studied were: HPV16 (64%), HPV18 (10%), HPV33-58 (7%), HPV45 (5%), HPV31 (4%) and other high-risk HPV genotypes (11%). HPV genotypes showed different distributions regarding histological type and clinical stage. Patients were followed for 35±21 months. The overall survival at 5 years after diagnosis of cervical cancer was 54%. Age, clinical staging, histological type and multiple HPV genotypes infection detected in the same tumor specimen were associated with poorer overall survival on multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis (p<0.05). No specific HPV genotype affected survival. Conclusion Multiple HPV genotype infection was associated with poorer ICC survival in our study, compared with single genotype infection. HPV genotyping from FFPE tumor tissue using an automated assay such as the Onclarity BD™ assay provides a simpler alternative for routine clinical use. Impact This is the largest study employing an automated HPV genotyping assay using FFPE of ICC. Multiple HPV genotype infection adversely influenced survival.

Abstract
Background Although the correlation of HPV genotype with cervical precursor lesions and invasive cancer has been confirmed, the role of HPV genotype in cervical cancer prognosis is less conclusive. This study aims to systematically investigate the independent prognostic role of HPV genotype in cervical cancer. Methods A total of 306 eligible patients provided cervical cell specimens for HPV genotyping before therapy and had a median follow-up time of 54 months after diagnosis. Survival times were measured from the date of diagnosis to the date of cervical cancer-related death (overall survival, OS) and from the date of diagnosis to the date of recurrence or metastasis (disease free survival, DFS). Log-rank tests and Cox proportional hazard models were performed to evaluate the association between HPV genotype and survival times. Results A total of 12 types of high-risk HPV were detected and the leading ten types belong to two species: alpha-9 and alpha-7. HPV16 and 18 were the two most common types, with the prevalence of 60.8% and 8.8%, respectively. In the univariate analysis, HPV16-positive cases were associated with better OS (P = 0.037) and HPV16-related species alpha-9 predicted better OS and DFS (both P < 0.01). After adjusting for age, FIGO stage, and therapy, HPV16 showed a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.36 (95% CI: 0.18, 0.74; P = 0.005) for OS, and alpha-9 resulted in a HR of 0.17 (95% CI: 0.08, 0.37; P < 0.001) for OS and 0.32 (95% CI: 0.17, 0.59; P < 0.001) for DFS. Conclusions HPV genotype poses differential prognoses for cervical cancer patients. The presence of HPV16 and its related species alpha-9 indicates an improved survival.

Abstract
Background Cervical cancer is associated with infection by certain subtypes of human papillomavirus (HPV). The L1 protein comprising HPV vaccine formulations elicits high-titre neutralizing antibodies and confers protection against specific HPV subtypes. HPV L2 protein is an attractive candidate for cross-protective vaccines. HPV-33 and HPV-58 are very prevalent among Chinese women. Methods To study the gene intratypic variations and polymorphisms of HPV-33 and HPV-58 L1/L2 in Sichuan China, HPV-33 and HPV-58 L1 and L2 genes were sequenced and compared with other genes submitted to GenBank. Phylogenetic trees were constructed by maximum-likelihood and the Kimura 2-parameters methods (MEGA 6). The secondary structure was analyzed by PSIPred software, and HPV-33 and HPV-58 L1 homology models were created by SWISS-MODEL software. The selection pressures acting on the L1/L2 genes were estimated by PAML 4.8. Results Among 124 HPV-33 L1 sequences 20 single nucleotide mutations were observed included 8/20 non-synonymous and 12/20 synonymous mutations. The 101 HPV-33 L2 sequences included 12 single nucleotide mutations comprising 7/12 non-synonymous and 5/12 synonymous mutations. The 223 HPV-58 L1 sequences included 32 single nucleotide mutations comprising 9/32 non-synonymous and 23/32 synonymous mutations. The 201 HPV-58 L2 sequences comprised 26 single nucleotide mutations including 9/26 non-synonymous and 17/26 synonymous mutations. Selective pressure analysis showed that most of the common non-synonymous mutations showed a positive selection. HPV-33 and HPV-58 L2 were more stable than HPV-33 and HPV-58 L1. Conclusions HPV-33 and HPV-58 L2 were better candidates as clinical diagnostic targets compared with HPV-33 and HPV-58 L1. Clinical diagnostic probes and second-generation polyvalent vaccines should be designed on the basis of the unique sequence of HPV-33 and 58 L1/L2 variations in Sichuan, to improve the accuracy of clinical detection and the protective efficiency of vaccines.

Prognostic implication of human papillomavirus types and species in cervical cancer patients undergoing primary treatment. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0122557. [PMID: 25855986 PMCID: PMC4391755 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0122557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2014] [Accepted: 02/22/2015] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types are associated with cervical cancer. It is well established that individual HPV types vary in oncogenicity, but current data on their prognostic implication remain controversial. We examined the association between HPV types/species and the survival of 236 Chinese women aged 26–87 (mean 54.4) years after receiving primary treatment for cervical cancer. Overall, 45.8% were of FIGO stage I, 41.9% stage II, and 12.3% stage III. The four most prevalent types found were HPV-16 (60.2%), HPV-18 (21.6%), HPV-52 (11.9%), and HPV-58 (9.3%). Overall, 19.5% of patients had multiple-type infections, 78.4% harboured one or more alpha-9 species, and 28.8% harboured one or more alpha-7 species. After a median follow-up of 8.0 years, 156 (66.1%) patients survived. The 3-year overall survival rate was 75.5%. Factors independently associated with a poorer 3-year overall survival were age >60 years, tumour size >4 cm, lymph node involvement and treatment with radiotherapy+/-chemotherapy. Univariate analysis showed HPV-16 single-type infection was associated with a marginally poorer disease-specific survival (71.6% vs. 87.0%, HR: 1.71, 95% CI = 1.01–2.90), whereas non-HPV-16 alpha-9 species was associated with a better disease-specific survival (90.0% vs. 76.2%, HR: 0.36, 95% CI = 0.16–0.79). However, on multivariate analysis, HPV infection status irrespective of different grouping methods, including individual types, species, single-type or co-infection, did not carry any significant prognostic significance. In conclusion, we did not observe any association between infection with a particular HPV type/species and survival. An HPV type-based stratification in treatment and follow-up plan could not be recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluates the effect of the specific human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype as a prognostic factor in stage I-IIA cervical cancer patients following primary surgical treatment. METHODS The medical records of 116 cervical cancer patients treated with primary surgical treatment were reviewed. The HPV genotypes were categorized into following groups: negative and unclassified, HPV 16, HPV 18, and other high risk (HPV 31, 33, 35, 45, 51, 52, 56, and 58). RESULTS Among the HPV genotypes, HPV 16 predominated (40.52%), followed by intermediate risk and unclassified (25%), HPV 18, 45, and 56 (17.24%) and negative (17.24%). In univariate analysis, HPV genotypes (P=0.03), parametrial spread (P=0.02), depth of invasion (DOI) (P<0.01) and lymph-vascular space invasion (P=0.02) were significantly associated with progression free survival (PFS). In multivariate analysis, HPV 18 (hazard ratio [HR], 5.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.29 to 20.90; P=0.02) and ≥one half of DOI (HR, 5.4; 95% CI, 1.08 to 27.31; P=0.04) were significantly associated with PFS. HPV genotypes are not significantly associated with overall survival. CONCLUSION HPV 18 was a poor prognostic factor for the PFS in stage I-IIA cervical cancer patients following primary surgical treatment. Careful long-term observation and regular exams are recommended for cervical cancer patients with HPV 18 compared to those with other HPV genotypes.

Abstract
While much is known about the influence of HPV type on the progression of pre-invasive cervical lesions, the impact of HPV type on cervical cancer prognosis is less evidenced. Thus, we assessed the impact of HPV type on the survival of women diagnosed with cervical cancer. A total of 370 cases of cervical cancer were assessed. Univariate analysis is presented using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank statistics and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were generated using age group, socio-economic deprivation, FIGO stage, differentiation and HPV type. HPV grouping was considered in a number of ways with particular reference to the presence or absence of HPV 16 and/or 18. In the univariate analysis, FIGO, age at diagnosis and treatment were associated with poorer survival (p < 0.0001) as was absence of HPV 16 and/or 18 (p = 0.0460). The 25% mortality time in the non-HPV 16/18 vs. HPV16/18 positive group was 615 days and 1,307 days respectively. An unadjusted Cox PH model based HPV16/18 vs. no HPV 16/18 resulted in a hazard ratio of 0.669 (0.450, 0.995). Adjusting for deprivation, FIGO and age group resulted in a hazard ratio of 0.609 (0.395, 0.941) p = 0.025. These data indicate that cancers associated with HPV 16 and/or 18 do not confer worse survival compared to cancers associated with other types, and may indicate improved survival. Consequently, although HPV vaccine is likely to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer it may not indirectly improve cervical cancer survival by reducing the burden of those cancers caused by HPV16/18.

Abstract
Cervical cancer, the third most common cancer that affects women worldwide, is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and is treatable when detected at an early stage. To date, more than 100 different HPV types have been described, and the development of simple, low-cost, and accurate methods to distinguish HPV genotypes is highly warranted. In this study, an HPV genotyping assay based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was evaluated. This method involved the use of MY09/11 primers followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis with the restriction enzymes HpyCH4V and NlaIII. Cervical specimens preserved using CytoRich Blue fluid were collected from 1,134 female volunteers for HPV detection, and 1,111 valid samples were amplified using PCR. The PCR method was sensitive enough to detect 25 copies of HPV18, and three copies of HPV16. Out of 202 PCR-positive samples, HPV genotypes were determined in 189 samples (93.6%) by this RFLP method. Results were then evaluated further by capillary sequencing method. Concordant results between the two tests were as high as 96.0%. Thirteen samples, which tested negative with RFLP, were verified as non-specific amplifications with PCR. In conclusion, this PCR-RFLP method using restriction enzymes HpyCH4V and NlaIII is simple, non-labor intensive, and is applicable for the inexpensive determination of HPV genotypes in clinical samples.

Abstract
High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes are the major cause of cervical cancer. Hence, HPV genotype detection is a helpful preventive measure to combat cervical cancer. Recently, several HPV detection methods have been developed, each with different sensitivities and specificities. The objective of this study was to compare HPV high risk genotype detection by an electrochemical DNA chip system, a line probe assay (INNO- LiPA) and sequencing of the L1, E1 regions. A total of 361 cervical smears with different cytological findings were subjected to polymerase chain reaction-sequencing and electrochemical DNA chip assessment. Multiple infections were found in 21.9% (79/361) of the specimens, most prevalently in 20-29-year olds while the highest prevalence of HPV infection was found in the 30-39-year age group. The most prevalent genotype was HPV 16 at 28.2% (138/489) followed by HPV 52 at 9.6% (47/489), with the other types occurring at less than 9.0%. The electrochemical DNA chip results were compared with INNO-LiPA and sequencing (E1 and L1 regions) based on random selection of 273 specimens. The results obtained by the three methods were in agreement except for three cases. Direct sequencing detected only one predominant genotype including low risk HPV genotypes. INNO-LiPA identified multiple infections with various specific genotypes including some unclassified-risk genotypes. The electrochemical DNA chip was highly accurate, suitable for detection of single and multiple infections, allowed rapid detection, was less time-consuming and was easier to perform when compared with the other methods. It is concluded that for clinical and epidemiological studies, all genotyping methods are perfectly suitable and provide comparable results.

Abstract
HPV account for most of the incidence of cervical cancer. Approximately 90% of anal cancers and a smaller subset (<50%) of other cancers (oropharyngeal, penile, vaginal, vulvar) are also attributed to HPV. The L1 protein comprising HPV vaccine formulations elicits high-titre neutralizing antibodies and confers type restricted protection. The L2 protein is a promising candidate for a broadly protective HPV vaccine. In our previous study, we found the most prevalent high-risk HPV infectious serotypes were HPV-16 and HPV-58 among women of Southwest China. To explore gene polymorphisms and intratypic variations of HPV-16 and HPV-58 L1/L2 genes originating in Southwest China, HPV-16 (L1: n = 31, L2: n = 28) and HPV-58 (L1: n = 21, L2: n = 21) L1/L2 genes were sequenced and compared to others described and submitted to GenBank. Phylogenetic trees were then constructed by Neighbor-Joining and the Kimura 2-parameters methods (MEGA software), followed by an analysis of the diversity of secondary structure. Then selection pressures acting on the L1/L2 genes were estimated by PAML software. Twenty-nine single nucleotide changes were observed in HPV-16 L1 sequences with 16/29 non-synonymous mutations and 13/29 synonymous mutations (six in alpha helix and two in beta turns). Seventeen single nucleotide changes were observed in HPV-16 L2 sequences with 8/17 non-synonymous mutations (one in beta turn) and 9/17 synonymous mutations. Twenty-four single nucleotide changes were observed in HPV-58 L1 sequences with 10/24 non-synonymous mutations and 14/24 synonymous mutations (eight in alpha helix and four in beta turn). Seven single nucleotide changes were observed in HPV-58 L2 sequences with 4/7 non-synonymous mutations and 3/7 synonymous mutations. The result of selective pressure analysis showed that most of these mutations were of positive selection. This study may help understand the intrinsic geographical relatedness and biological differences of HPV-16/HPV-58 and contributes further to research on their infectivity, pathogenicity, and vaccine strategy.

Abstract
The development of a prophylactic vaccine that targets human papillomaviruses (HPV) 6, 11, 16, and 18 to prevent cervical cancer has increased interest in the ethnic and geographical distributions of HPV genotypes. We investigated HPV prevalence and type distribution by restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) testing a total of 60,775 specimens (aged 18-79 yr, median 44) taken from liquid-based cytology. Overall HPV positive rate of total patients was 34.2%. Among the positive patients, 87.7% was single type infections, and 12.3% was multiple HPV types. HPV-16 was the most prevalent genotype observed in 2,307 (26.0%), followed by type 52 in 2,269 (25.5%), type 58 in 1,090 (12.3%), type 18 in 633 (7.1%), type 56 in 436 (4.9%). The pattern of high risk-HPV positive rate according to age showed U-shape with a peak in HPV prevalence among women less than 30 yr of age, and a second peak among the older females aged 70 to 79 yr. The leading four high-risk HPV genotypes were HPV-16, HPV-52, HPV-58, and HPV-18 in descending order. In conclusion, this study provides the most representative prevalence and type-specific distribution of HPV among Korean women, and demonstrates that the epidemiology of HPV infection is different from that of other regions of the world.

Abstract
The prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in the general population of northern Taiwan is described. A total of 343 consecutive cervical swabs from women visiting the medical center for routine gynecologic care were included. Cervical cell cytology was examined by the Papanicolaou (Pap) test, and a PCR-based hybridization gene chip analysis was used to identify HPV genotypes. The HPV prevalence in the overall population was 32.4%. When divided into two groups according to cytology, 20.9% of women with normal cytology were HPV positive while 75.3% of women with abnormal cytology were HPV positive. Among positive samples, 68.5% were single type infections while 31.5% harbored multiple HPV types. A total of 32 types of HPV were identified; the leading five were HPV16 (5.8%), HPV58 (5.3%), HPV53 (4.1%), HPV52 (3.8%), and HPV18 (2.3%). Our results constitute baseline data and may provide important implications for future prophylactic programs. The relatively high prevalence of HPV 58, 53, and 52 among northern Taiwanese women has important implications for vaccine development.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) 52 and 58 are oncogenic HPV types prevalent in Asia. Our study aims to explore intratypic variants of HPV 52 and 58 in Taiwan. A total of 11,923 women were enrolled from seven townships in 1991-1992. HPV DNA in their cervical cells was detected and typed by EasyChip® HPV blot. Among 424 participants infected with HPV 52 and/or 58, nucleotide variations were determined in cervical cell samples of 406 participants by the polymerase chain reaction sequencing of the long control region, E6 and E7 genes. Nonprototype-like variants including lineages B and C were detected in 278 (99.3%) of 280 HPV 52 samples. The prototype and prototype-like group (lineage A) of HPV58 was found in 132 (98.5%) of 134 HPV 58 samples, with sublineage A1, A2 and A3 variant in 14.2, 27.6 and 56.7%, respectively. Among women infected with single HPV 52 type, the C variant (vs. B variant) was associated with an increased prevalence of cytologically diagnosed high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or worse lesions showing an age-adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval, CI) of 5.2 (1.0-27.6) and an increased prevalence of histologically confirmed high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or more severe lesions with an age-adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) of 7.6 (1.3-43.8). It was concluded that frequency distributions of HPV 52 and 58 variants in Taiwan were different from those in European and American populations. The association between C variant of HPV 52 and prevalence of cervical neoplasia needs further validation.

Abstract
To determine the clinical implications and prognostic value of the human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype, we evaluated the various HPV types in patients receiving radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. The study population included 113 invasive squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with radiation or chemoradiation between 1993 and 2002. The median age of the patients was 61 years. Tumors were classified by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging as stage IB in 11 patients, stage II in 39, stage III in 57 and stage IVA in 6 patients. To investigate HPV infection and its genotypes in the tumor specimens, L1 consensus PCR was performed followed by the direct nucleotide sequencing of the PCR products. Ninety-five samples (84.1%) were positive for HPV DNA. The most prevalent type was HPV-16 (34.7%). Poorer response to radiotherapy was observed in the patients with the HPV-16 genotype, in which 7 of the 33 patients had persistent disease. Only 1 of the 10 patients with HPV-58, 1 of the 5 with HPV-31 and 5 of the 10 patients with HPV-33 had a recurrence. The 5-year survival rate was 90, 80, 69.4 and 39% in the HPV-58, HPV-31, HPV-16 and HPV-33 type groups, respectively. Patients with HPV-31 and HPV-58 types were found to have better survival, whereas patients with the HPV-33 type experienced a higher risk of death. HPV genotyping may serve as a potential biomarker of response to radiation and prognosis in cervical carcinoma patients undergoing radio- or chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the prognostic value of the human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes in cervical cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 1,010 patients with cervical cancer after radiotherapy between 1993 and 2000 were eligible for this study. The HPV genotypes were determined by a genechip, which detects 38 types of HPV. The patient characteristics and treatment outcomes were analyzed using the Cox regression hazard model and classification and regression tree decision tree method. RESULTS A total of 25 genotypes of HPV were detected in 992 specimens (98.2%). The leading 8 types were HPV16, 58, 18, 33, 52, 39, 31, and 45. These types belong to two high-risk HPV species: alpha-7 (HPV18, 39, 45) and alpha-9 (HPV16, 31, 33, 52, 58). Three HPV-based risk groups, which were independent of established prognostic factors, such as International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, age, pathologic features, squamous cell carcinoma antigen, and lymph node metastasis, were associated with the survival outcomes. The high-risk group consisted of the patients without HPV infection or the ones infected with the alpha-7 species only. Patients co-infected with the alpha-7 and alpha-9 species belonged to the medium-risk group, and the others were included in the low-risk group. CONCLUSION The results of the present study have confirmed the prognostic value of HPV genotypes in cervical cancer treated with radiotherapy. The different effect of the alpha-7 and alpha-9 species on the radiation response deserves additional exploration.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus 58 (HPV58) is one type of HPV with high risk of causing cervical cancer. Unusually high prevalence of HPV58 has been reported in Asia, Africa and some other areas. However, due to the scattered distribution of global data, in addition to the lack of data of some HPV58 high-incidence nations and regions, like Mainland China, a comprehensive analysis of the global geographical distribution of HPV58 remains blank so far. In this study, HPV58 from the human cervical cancer tissue was detected in Mainland China, and 14 new HPV58-E6/L1 gene sequences were obtained. Moreover, phylogeographic analysis has been conducted combining the HPV58 sequences that have been deposited in GenBank since 1985. The study result shows that the sequences detected from the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Sichuan areas are homologous with those found in the past from Hong Kong and Xi'an, China, as well as Japan and other Southeast Asian areas. Furthermore, Western Africa is considered to be the "root" source of the HPV58 variant, while Mainland China and Southeast Asia are "transit points" and the new sources of HPV58 after receiving the isolates from the "root" source; like HPV16 and HPV18, the HPV58 might also be one of the major HPV types associated with the development and spread of cervical cancer.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) type-specific infections and its influence on prognosis and survival rate of cervical cancer patients treated with radiotherapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy or hyperthermotherapy or both. MATERIALS AND METHODS During 1993 and 1994, 120 patients with cervical cancer were consecutively assigned into four therapeutic modalities. One hundred and eight formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue samples available at the time of this study were subjected to DNA extraction. The DNA was analysed for the presence of HPV and HPV type-specific infections with polymerase chain reaction. The experimental data were co-analysed with the follow-up data to evaluate prognosis and survival in relation to the HPV infection and treatment. RESULTS All samples were found to be positive for HPV; 32.40% (95% confidence interval 23.72-42.09) of samples were HPV 16 single positive, 16.67% (95% confidence interval 10.19-25.06) were HPV 58 single positive, 34.26% (95% confidence interval 25.4-44.01) were HPV 16/58 double positive and 16.67% (95% confidence interval 10.19-25.06) were positive for other HPV types. The 5-year survival rates were 88.89, 80.0, 67.57 and 61.11% in patients with HPV 58 single positive, HPV 16 single positive, HPV 16/58 double positive, and other HPV types, respectively (P=0.18), irrespective of the treatment modalities. Univariate Cox regression analysis results showed that compared with the HPV 16 single positive group, the relative risk of death was high in the HPV 16/58 double positive group (hazard ratio 1.81, 95% confidence interval 0.71-4.60) and the other HPV types group (hazard ratio 2.09, 95% confidence interval 0.73-5.96), whereas it was lower in the HPV 58 single positive group (hazard ratio 0.53, 95% confidence interval 0.11-2.56), but this was not statistically significant (P=0.43). All results remained statistically non-significant after adjustment for age and tumour stage with multivariate Cox regression. No apparent differences were observed in the survival rates among the four groups with regard to the treatment protocols. CONCLUSION No effect was seen of either treatment protocols or HPV type on survival, except for a slightly high survival in HPV 58 single-infected patients, which was statistically non-significant.

Abstract
This study identified the age-specific prevalence and epidemiologic risk profile for infection with different groups and species of human papillomaviruses (HPV). Structured interview and HPV testing were conducted for 2,604 Chinese women self-referred for cervical screening. Independent risk factors for infection were identified by multiple logistic regressions. Overall, a major peak of HPV infection was observed at women aged 26-30 years, and a minor peak at 46-55 years. This pattern was observed for high-risk, low-risk, and alpha-5/7/9 HPVs; but alpha-3/6 HPVs showed peaks of similar magnitudes in young and older women. Independent risk factors for HPV infection (all types combined) included younger age (OR [95% CI] for >55 vs. < or =30 years = 0.22 [0.09-0.55]; 31-45 vs. < or = 30 years = 0.57 [0.33-0.99]), having > or =4 lifetime sexual partners (2.28 [1.06-4.88]), and smoking (2.24 [1.22-4.10]). Young age and smoking were the most consistent independent risk factors observed across different HPV groups. The risk profile for high-risk HPV was similar to alpha-5/7/9. Single-type infection was associated with having more sexual partners, higher education level and oral contraception; whereas multiple-type infection was associated with smoking. In conclusion, a U-shaped age-specific prevalence curve was observed for HPV infection overall, but with a different pattern for different HPV species. Different HPV groups showed variations in their risk profiles. These data are useful for formulating preventative strategy for HPV-related diseases. Catch-up vaccination program in Hong Kong should cover a wider age group as the first peak of infection occurred relatively late.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women worldwide. Several human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes, sexual behavior, and socioeconomic profile represent major risk factors for the development of this carcinoma. Cervical invasive cancer is preceded by cellular abnormalities that can be identified by cytological or histological exams. In order to determine the prevalence and genotypes of HPV in women with abnormal cytology or histopathology, cervical cell samples from 256 patients were evaluated for the presence of HPV/DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by virus genotyping by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). A total of 113 samples (51.2%) were HPV/DNA positive. Viral genotyping showed that the most prevalent genotypes were HPV 16 (34.7%) and 58 (13.8%), followed by HPV 33 (9.72%), 11 (8.33%), 18 (5.55%), 53 (5.55%), and 6 (4.2%). Four samples (5.55%) exhibited multiple infections due to the great similarity of socioeconomic characteristics and sexual behavior of HPV positive women, it was not possible to establish a risk profile for female HPV infection.

Abstract
The high burden of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and subsequent cervical cancer in the presence of screening in Taiwan suggests the need for further prevention strategies. Epidemiology and screening practices vary considerably between countries, and specific analyses are required to estimate the impact of HPV vaccination. This study adapted a computer-based health economic model to Taiwan to project the clinical impact of the introduction of a prophylactic vaccine against persistent HPV 16/18 infection on cervical disease. A Markov model based on the natural history of HPV and cervical cancer was developed to simulate transitions between health states (normal, HPV, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia [CIN] stages I to III, cervical cancer stages I to IV, and death) in the presence of screening. The model was calibrated to Taiwan epidemiological end points including age-specific HPV prevalence, prevalence of CIN lesions, and predicted cervical cancer incidence and mortality. Taiwanese screening and treatment practices were modeled, and published clinical trial data were used to estimate vaccine efficacy. With 100% vaccine coverage in a 13-year-old cohort of females, there is estimated to be a 71% reduction in cervical cancer cases and deaths due to all HPV types and substantial reductions in the prevalence of precancerous lesions and screening outcomes. Removing the risk of HPV infection of a large proportion of Taiwanese females, with a high underlying cervical cancer incidence rate, would be expected to have dramatic effects on the health care system and mortality in Taiwan.

Abstract
p16(INK4a), an indirect marker of cell cycle dysregulation, is commonly expressed in cervical dysplasias and carcinomas associated with high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infections. Although p16(INK4a) immunohistology is routinely used as a cost effective surrogate marker, many of the published articles are confusing and contradictory. The discrepancies can be ascribed to a multitude of factors operating at the molecular, technical and interpretative levels. In the first place, our simplistic model of viral mediated oncogenesis is speculative and fails to account for all the known biomolecular changes. Unresolved technical issues include the variables of tissue fixation, antibody dilution, antibody isotype and clone, and the sensitivity of the particular detection method. Within any controlled staining method, strong diffuse or 'block' immunoreactivity in squamous cells may be found in moderate/severe dysplasia (CIN 2/3) and invasive squamous carcinoma. In contrast, focal or multifocal reactivity in squamous cells may be artefactual, related to low risk or HR-HPV. p16(INK4a) is less reliable when dealing with glandular lesions since considerable overlap exists between reactive and dysplastic lesions. In addition not all glandular dysplasias/carcinomas are HR-HPV related, nor are all p16(INK4a) immunoreactive lesions associated with HR-HPV. We conclude that p16(INK4a) immunoperoxidase shows greater specificity than sensitivity for squamous lesions; in comparison, glandular dysplasias/carcinomas show reduced specificity and sensitivity. Like all cell cycle regulatory proteins, the future diagnostic role of p16(INK4a) is limited. The ideal diagnostic molecular test for cervical dysplasias will detect a HR-HPV related product after, but not before, cell transformation and will reliably predict those cases yet to experience disease progression.

Abstract
Activated Leukocyte Cell Adhesion Molecule (ALCAM, also called CD 166, MEMD) as cell surface immunoglobulin is reported as prognostic marker in breast cancer, but its predictive value has not yet been evaluated. We have analyzed ALCAM protein expression by Western Blot analysis (n = 160) and mRNA expression by cDNA microarray analysis (n = 162) in primary mammary carcinomas. Both expression results were obtained in 133 cases, showing a strong positive correlation between protein expression and mRNA expression (P < 0.001). Neither ALCAM protein nor mRNA expression are correlated to histological type, grading, stage or age of patient. However, ALCAM protein expression correlates positively with estrogen receptor status (ER) (P = 0.025). A stratified subgroup analysis showed positive correlation of high ALCAM mRNA expression with longer overall survival (OAS; P = 0.0012) in patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy (n = 100). In contrast, patients with high ALCAM mRNA expression who did not receive chemotherapy tended to have a worse prognosis. Similar but weaker correlations were found regarding ALCAM protein expression data. The predictive impact of ALCAM mRNA expression in chemotherapy treated patients was corroborated by multivariate Cox regression analysis also including histopathological markers (P = 0.001 for OAS). Our overall results reveal that high ALCAM expression levels in primary tumors might be a suitable marker for prediction of the response to adjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine human papillomavirus (HPV) type distribution in women with and without cervical neoplasia from Asia and to estimate the potential future impact of an HPV 16/18 prophylactic vaccine in this region. A meta-analysis was conducted including 79 studies using polymerase chain reaction to detect HPV types. A total of 5954, 1653, 958, and 16,803 women with invasive cervical cancer (ICC), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL), and normal cytology or histology were included, respectively. Type-specific prevalence of HPV types 6, 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 70, 73, and 82 were estimated and stratified by cervical lesion grade. Overall HPV prevalence was 85.9%, 81.0%, 72.9%, and 14.4%, respectively, in women with ICC, HSIL, LSIL, and normal cytology/histology. In ICC, HPV 16 was the predominant type (52.4%), followed by HPV 18, 58, 33, 52, 45, 31, and 35. The estimated HPV 16/18-positive fraction was 66.9%, 40.4%, 26.7%, and 3.3% in women with ICC, HSIL, LSIL, and normal cytology or histology, respectively. In ICC, the estimated HPV 16/18-positive fraction was about 70% in all Asian geographic regions, with the exception of Japan (51.3%). HPV 16/18 vaccines are estimated to provide about 67% protection against ICC in Asia. HPV 58 and 52 were among the five most common types in ICC in eastern and southeastern Asia but not in south central Asia. After HPV 16 and 18, the next most six common HPV types were 58, 33, 52, 45, 31, and 35 that accounted for additional 20% of cervical cancer cases in Asia. For optimal population coverage, these HPV carcinogenic types should be considered for second-generation HPV prophylactic vaccines.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our aim was to evaluate the prognostic significance of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype in early-stage cervical carcinoma primarily treated with surgery in a large tertiary referral medical center. PATIENTS AND METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent primary surgery for invasive cervical carcinoma of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage I to IIA between 1993 and 2000 were retrospectively reviewed. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a general primer set followed by reverse-blot detection of 38 types of HPV DNA in a single reaction was performed for genotyping. E6 type-specific PCR was performed to validate multiple types. RESULTS A total of 1,067 eligible patients were analyzed. HPV DNA sequences were detected in 95.1% of the specimens, among which 9.6% contained multiple types. HPV 16 was detected in 63.8% of the samples, and HPV 18 was detected in 16.5% of the samples. The median follow-up time of surviving patients was 77 months. By multivariate analysis, FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis, depth of cervical stromal invasion, grade of differentiation, and HPV 18 positivity were significantly related to cancer relapse. FIGO stage II, deep stromal invasion, parametrial extension, HPV 18 positivity, and age older than 45 years were significant predictors for death. Using the seven selected variables from either recurrence-free or overall survival analysis, death-predicting (P < .0001) and relapse-predicting (P < .0001) models classifying three risk groups (low, intermediate, and high risk) were constructed and endorsed by internal validation. CONCLUSION The independent prognostic value of HPV genotype is confirmed in this study. The prognostic models could be useful in counseling patients and stratifying patients in future clinical trials.

Abstract
Our aim was to investigate the human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype distribution and correlation between HPV parameters and clinicopathological variables in cervical carcinoma treated in a large tertiary referral medical center in Taiwan. Consecutive patients treated for cervical carcinoma (Stages I-IV according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) between 1993 and 2000 were included. HPV genotyping using SPF1/GP6+ PCR was performed, followed by hybridization with a genechip (Easychip HPV Blot, King Car, Taiwan). E6 type-specific PCR was performed to validate multiple-type. HPV-negative samples were further verified by type-specific PCR and a repeat HPV Blot. A total of 2,118 patients were eligible for analysis. HPV DNA sequences were detected in 96.6% (95% CI, 95.8-97.4%) of the specimens, among which 82% harbored single-type and 18% contained multiple-type HPV sequences. Thirty-five types of HPV were identified and the leading 8 were HPV16 (50.0%), HPV18 (17.8%), HPV58 (16.3%), HPV33 (8.7%), HPV52 (6.8%), HPV39 (3.0%), HPV45 (2.5%) and HPV31 (2.3%). HPV58 or 33 or 52 was detected in 30.3% (641/2,118). By multivariate analysis, HPV58- or 33- or 52-infection was significantly associated with older age (p < 0.001) and primary radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiation (RT/CCRT) (p < 0.001). Among HPV-positive cases, multiple-type was more frequently seen in those receiving primary RT/CCRT (p < 0.001). The knowledge of HPV genotype distribution will form a basis for guidelines in HPV-based cervical cancer screening and cost-effective multivalent HPV vaccine policy in Taiwan and in the world. The association between HPV parameters and clinicopathological variables warrants further investigations.

Abstract
Fra-2 (Fos-related antigen 2) is a member of the Fos family of AP-1 transcription factors which is often up-regulated in mammary carcinomas. Previous results suggested that it might be involved in the regulation of breast cancer invasion and metastasis. In order to analyze the role of Fra-2 in breast cancer cells, it was silenced in the highly invasive MDA-MB231 cells using RNA interference. On the other hand, stable transfectants of the weakly invasive MCF7 cell line were established in order to analyze the effects of Fra-2 overexpression. In both approaches, cell proliferation was not or only weakly influenced by Fra-2. In contrast, the invasive potential of the cells was increased, and a weaker effect on motility was observed. By cDNA microarray analysis of the MCF7 transfectants followed by validation on a protein level, we identified several Fra-2 target genes which might be involved in cell invasion and migration, i.e., ALCAM and connexin 43. Additionally, mRNA expression levels of various genes which are associated with a more malignant behavior of the tumors in vivo were up- or downregulated, i.e., members of the MAGE family, S100P, TIMP2, IL24 etc. These results show that Fra-2 overexpression is associated with a more aggressive tumor phenotype and is probably involved in breast cancer progression in vivo.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, reliability and reproducibility of the EasyChip HPV blot for human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping. Type-specific sensitivity and specificity for 39 types of HPV (HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 26, 31, 32, 33, 35, 37, 39, 42, 43, 44, 45, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 58, 59, 61, 62, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 72, 74, 82, CP8061, CP8304, L1AE5, MM4, MM7 and MM8) were examined. The operating environment, reliability, reproducibility and blot interpretation were assessed by a quality assurance system. Each batch experiment contained samples from 89 cervical specimens and 7 extrinsic controls. Caski, HeLa and Jurkat cells, male human blood cell DNA and sterile water were used to assess reliability. Furthermore, pairs of sibling controls were used to assess reproducibility. The overall sensitivity of HPV detection was 1-50 copies of HPV genome equivalent. There was no cross-reactivity with amplicons of other HPV genotypes. One hundred batch experiments demonstrated that the reliability was excellent. The intra-batch and inter-batch reproducibility was 98 and 97%, respectively. It was concluded that the EasyChip HPV blot is a highly sensitive, reliable and reproducible tool for detection and identification of HPV genotypes.

Abstract
To clarify the distribution and relative risk of different human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes in cervical preinvasive lesions, 1246 women with abnormal Papanicolaou smear including atypical squamous cell of unknown significance (ASCUS), atypical glandular cell of unknown significance (AGUS), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) were enrolled in a multicenter, cross-sectional study. Colposcopy and HPV tests with hybrid capture 2 and polymerase chain reaction-reverse line blot were performed. The prevalences of HPV in ASCUS/AGUS-negative histology, ASCUS/AGUS, LSIL, HSIL, and invasive cancer were 33.8%, 38.3%, 74.9%, 84.3% and 100%, respectively, with an overall positive rate of 68.8%. The most common HPV types were HPV 16 (18.5%), 52 (16.5%), 58 (13.2%), 33, 51, 53, 18, 39, 59, 66, MM8, and 31. In comparing the relative risk of HPV infection in different disease status, LSIL and HSIL/carcinoma had a 4.64 (95% CI: 2.98-7.24) and 10.53 (95% CI: 6.69-16.58) folds of risk of high-risk HPV infection than the negative group. The same was true in mixed HPV infection, but not in low-risk type infection. Looking into each high-risk HPV type, the relative infection risks for LSIL and HSIL/carcinoma, in comparison with the negative group, were 1.67 (0.63-4.43) and 8.67 (3.46-21.70), 2017 (1.01-4.68) and 3.04 (1.42-6.47), and 1.40 (0.52-3.77) and 5.22 (2.07-13.19) for HPV type 16, 52 and 58, respectively. The study confirmed the high prevalence and risky nature of HPV 52 and 58 in Taiwanese population and conveyed the need to include these HPV types in vaccine development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. Infection with some genotypes of human papillomavirus is the most important risk factor associated with cervical cancer. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and genotypes of HPV in China, and to evaluate the correlation between viral load of high risk HPV and cervical cancer and its precursors. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional study was carried out, wherein cervical samples were collected from 541 patients with cervical cancer, 262 with CIN, 139 with cervicitis and 68 age-matched healthy controls. Hybrid Capture 2 was employed to detect HPV DNA. Specimens from HPV DNA positive cervical cancer were tested for HPV types by using type specific PCR and general primer PCR with sequence-based typing (GP PCR-SBT). RESULTS Overall high risk HPV prevalence was 68.8% in CIN1, 80.3% in CIN2, 90.2% in CIN3, 90.9% in cervical cancer in situ, 89.9% in invasive cervical cancer and 25% in healthy controls from China. The most common HPV DNA type found in patients with cervical cancer was HPV16 (79.6%), followed by HPV58 (5.92%), HPV33 (3.29%), HPV18 (1.97%), HPV6 (1.97%), HPV31 (1.31%), HPV39 (1.31%), HPV68 (1.31%) and other HPV types (3.3%). It was found that there was a significantly increased risk of increasing CIN stage with high viral load. Frequency of low viral load found in the controls was 13.2% and 22.9% of CIN1, obtaining an OR of 4.2 (1.5-12.0). Associations (OR) among low viral load and CIN2/3, CIS, and CC were 6.7 (2.9-15.6), 9.4 (2.7-32.3) and 8.3 (3.7-18.4), respectively. While high viral loads were found in 5.9% of controls, 27.1% of CIN1, 42.1% of CIN2/3 and 48.5% of CIS, demonstrating increasing odds ratios with severity of disease (OR for CIS=68.0, 95% CI=17.8-259.7). CONCLUSIONS HPV16 was the most common genotype in central China. The developing cervical cancer precursors were associated with elevated high-risk HPV viral load.

Abstract
Specific HPV DNA sequences are associated with more than 90% of invasive carcinomas of the uterine cervix. Viral E6 and E7 oncogenes are key mediators in cell transformation by disrupting TP53 and RB pathways. To investigate molecular mechanisms involved in the progression of invasive cervical carcinoma, we performed a gene expression study on cases selected according to viral and clinical parameters. Using Coupled Two-Way Clustering and Sorting Points Into Neighbourhoods methods, we identified a 'cervical cancer proliferation cluster' composed of 163 highly correlated transcripts. Most of these transcripts corresponded to E2F pathway genes controlling cell division or proliferation, whereas none was known as TP53 primary target. The average expression level of the genes of this cluster was higher in tumours with an early relapse than in tumours with a favourable course (P = 0.026). Moreover, we found that E6/E7 mRNA expression level was positively correlated with the expression level of the cluster genes and with viral DNA load. These findings suggest that HPV E6/E7 expression level plays a key role in the progression of invasive carcinoma of the uterine cervix via the deregulation of cellular genes controlling tumour cell proliferation. HPV expression level may thus provide a biological marker useful for prognosis assessment and specific therapy of the disease.

Abstract
Cervix cancer is one of several neoplastic disorders that arise following transfer of human papillomavirus (HPV) during unprotected sexual intercourse, and like most other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), is largely preventable by consistent condom use. This primary prevention strategy has received little support, however, when compared with massive secondary prevention initiatives involving cervical screening. The reasons for this anomalous situation are complex, and include: (i) the asymptomatic nature of most primary HPV infections; (ii) widespread ignorance concerning the venereal aetiology of HPV-related cancers; (iii) the common but incorrect belief that condom use does not reduce HPV transmission; (iv) the perceived irrelevance of safe sex campaigns based on reducing transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in high-HPV but low-HIV countries such as the Philippines; (v) the promotion of oral contraception by the medical and pharmaceutical sectors as the sexual prophylaxis of choice; and (vi) the assumption that HPV vaccines will solve the problem. Here it is proposed that the high prevalence of non-HIV STDs, including distressing disorders such as genital warts and herpes simplex, can be exploited with greater efficacy as a public health deterrent to unsafe sex and HPV transmission. Targeting a "mutually assured infection" campaign at vulnerable subgroups such as teenagers and oral contraceptive users could help reverse the global expansion of HPV-related cancers.
