Front Oncol 2024; 14:1332172. [PMID: 38863645 PMCID: PMC11165024 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1332172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Few articles have focused on the cytological misinterpretation of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). Due to estrogen deficiency, cervical epithelial cells in postmenopausal women tend to show atrophic change that looks like HSIL on Papanicolaou-stained cytology slides, resulting in a higher rate of cytological misinterpretation. P16INK4a immunocytochemical staining (P16 cytology) can effectively differentiate diseased cells from normal atrophic ones with less dependence on cell morphology. Objective To evaluate the role of P16 cytology in differentiating cytology HSIL from benign atrophy in women aged 50 years and above. Methods Included in this analysis were women in a cervical cancer screening project conducted in central China who tested positive for high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) and returned back for triage with complete data of primary HPV testing, liquid-based cytology (LBC) analysis, P16 immuno-stained cytology interpretation, and pathology diagnosis. The included patients were grouped by age: ≥50 (1,127 cases) and <50 years (1,430 cases). The accuracy of LBC and P16 cytology in the detection of pathology ≥HSIL was compared between the two groups, and the role of P16 immuno-stain in differentiating benign cervical lesions from cytology ≥HSIL was further analyzed. Results One hundred sixty-seven women (14.8%; 167/1,127) in the ≥50 group and 255 (17.8%, 255/1,430) in the <50 group were pathologically diagnosed as HSIL (Path-HSIL). LBC [≥Atypical Squamous Cell Of Undetermined Significance (ASCUS)] and P16 cytology (positive) respectively detected 63.9% (163/255) and 90.2% (230/255) of the Path-≥HSIL cases in the <50 group and 74.3% (124/167) and 93.4% (124/167) of the Path-≥HSIL cases in the ≥50 group. LBC matched with pathology in 105 (41.2%) of the 255 Path-≥HSIL cases in the <50 group and 93 (55.7%) of the 167 Path-≥HSIL cases in the ≥50 group. There were five in the <50 group and 14 in the ≥50 group that were Path-≤LSIL cases, which were interpreted by LBC as HSIL, but negative in P16 cytology. Conclusion P16 cytology facilitates differentiation of Path-≤LSIL from LBC-≥HSIL for women 50 years of age and above. It can be used in the lower-resource areas, where qualified cytologists are insufficient, as the secondary screening test for women aged ≥50 to avoid unnecessary biopsies and misinterpretation of LBC primary or secondary screening.

Abstract
The human papillomavirus (HPV) belongs to the Papillomaviridae family of viruses which includes small, double-stranded DNA viral agents. Approximately 90% of HPV infections occur asymptomatically and resolve spontaneously. However, infection with high-risk viral strains can lead to the development of preneoplastic lesions, with an increased propensity to become cancerous. The location of these malignancies includes the oral cavity, cervix, vagina, anus, and vulva, among others. The role of HPV in carcinogenesis has already been demonstrated for the aforementioned neoplasia. However, regarding skin malignancies, the mechanisms that pinpoint the role played by HPV in their initiation and progression still elude our sight. Until now, the only fully understood mechanism of viral cutaneous oncogenesis is that of human herpes virus 8 infection in Kaposi sarcoma. In the case of HPV infection, however, most data focus on the role that beta strains exhibit in the oncogenesis of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), along with ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and other environmental or genetic factors. However, recent epidemiological investigations have highlighted that HPV could also trigger the onset of other non-melanocytic, for example, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and/or melanocytic skin cancers, for example, melanoma. Herein, we provide an overview of the role played by HPV in benign and malignant skin lesions with a particular focus on the main epidemiological, pathophysiological, and molecular aspects delineating the involvement of HPV in skin cancers.

[PMID: 38476208 PMCID: PMC10928995 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2024.14318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
In the present study, the diagnostic value of high risk-human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) combined with colposcopy for the detection of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions was evaluated. A total of 397 patients with confirmed cervical disease were enrolled between August 2020 and December 2021. According to the pathological diagnosis, the patients were divided into cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade I (CIN I; n=153 cases), CIN II (n=101 cases), CIN III (n=86 cases) and cervical cancer (n=57 cases) groups. The HR-HPV-positive rate of the patients with different lesion types was compared, and the consistency of colposcopy and pathological examination results were assessed. For cervical cancer and precancerous lesions, the diagnostic value and efficacy of HR-HPV testing, colposcopy and combined HR-HPV testing and colposcopy examination were compared using pathological examination results as the gold standard. The results of the present study demonstrated that in patients with cervical cancer, the positive rate of HR-HPV (100.00%; n=57/57) was higher than that in patients with precancerous lesions, and the positive rate of HR-HPV in patients with CIN I type (36.60%, n=56/153) was lower than that in patients with CIN II (83.17%, n=84/101) and CIN III (82.56%, n=71/86) types (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the HR-HPV-positive rate between patients with CIN II and CIN III (P>0.05). Cohen's κ coefficient for colposcopy examination and pathological examination of patients with cervical cancer and precancerous lesions was 0.622, the diagnostic accuracy was 90.43% (n=359/397), the positive predictive value was 65.57% (n=40/61), and the negative predictive value was 94.94% (n=319/336). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that the area under the curve of the combined examination in the diagnosis of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions was 0.904, which was higher than that of colposcopy (0.820) or HR-HPV testing (0.802) alone (P<0.05). The results of the present study indicated that HR-HPV detection combined with colposcopy has diagnostic value for cervical cancer and precancerous lesions.

Abstract
The effectiveness and necessity of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination to prevent HPV infection and cervical cancer are increasingly recognized by people. The 15-valent HPV vaccine, which protects against almost high-risk types of HPV viruses identified by WHO, has attracted much attention. However, as the valence of vaccines increases, quality control in the HPV vaccine production process is facing more challenges. The precise quality control of the HPV type 68 virus-like particles (VLPs), one of the unique components of the 15-valent HPV vaccine that distinguishes it from existing vaccines, is the new requirement for vaccine manufacturers. Here we developed a novel time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA) for rapid and precise automatic quality control of HPV68 VLPs in HPV vaccine. Two murine monoclonal antibodies specifically targeting the HPV68 L1 protein were used to establish a classical sandwich assay. Except for pretreating the vaccine sample, the whole analysis process was performed by a fully automated machine, which saves detection time and gets rid of manual error. Multiple experiments established that the current novel TRFIA can efficiently and reliably analyses HPV68 VLPs. Present novel TRFIA has exhibited merits with speed, robustness, high sensitivity with a minimum detection value of 0.08 ng/mL, considerable accuracy, a wide detection range (up to 1000 ng/mL) and excellent specificity. It is also expected to provide a new detection method for quality control for each HPV type VLPs. To summarize, the novel TRFIA is of great interest for application in HPV vaccine quality control.

The Plasma DIA-Based Quantitative Proteomics Reveals the Pathogenic Pathways and New Biomarkers in Cervical Cancer and High Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11237155. [PMID: 36498728 PMCID: PMC9736146 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11237155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The process of normal cervix changing into high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and invasive cervical cancer is long and the mechanisms are still not completely clear. This study aimed to reveal the protein profiles related to HSIL and cervical cancer and find the diagnostic and prognostic molecular changes. METHODS Data-independent acquisition (DIA) analysis was performed to identify 20 healthy female volunteers, 20 HSIL and 20 cervical patients in a cohort to screen differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) for the HSIL and cervical cancer. Subsequently, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were used for functional annotation of DEPs; the protein-protein interaction (PPI) and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were performed for detection of key molecular modules and hub proteins. They were validated using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). RESULTS A total of 243 DEPs were identified in the study groups. GO and KEGG analysis showed that DEPs were mainly enriched in the complement and coagulation pathway, cholesterol metabolism pathway, the IL-17 signaling pathway as well as the viral protein interaction with cytokine and cytokine receptor pathway. Subsequently, the WGCNA analysis showed that the green module was highly correlated with the cervical cancer stage. Additionally, six interesting core DEPs were verified by ELISA, APOF and ORM1, showing nearly the same expression pattern with DIA. The area under the curve (AUC) of 0.978 was obtained by using ORM1 combined with APOF to predict CK and HSIL+CC, and in the diagnosis of HSIL and CC, the AUC can reach to 0.982. The high expression of ORM1 is related to lymph node metastasis and the clinical stage of cervical cancer patients as well as the poor prognosis. CONCLUSION DIA-ELSIA combined analysis screened and validated two previously unexplored but potentially useful biomarkers for early diagnosis of HSIL and cervical cancer, as well as possible new pathogenic pathways and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE High-grade cervical lesions (HSIL) are associated with the presence of high-risk HPV types, tissue expression of p16, and increased chance of malignant progression, requiring surgical intervention. To improve risk evaluation, we assessed the discriminatory power of the histological findings associated with p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining to classify the low-grade cervical lesion (LSIL) and HSIL. METHODS We collected cervical biopsies from colposcopy-visible lesions and non-affected tissue (adjacent to the lesions) of 62 Brazilian women and labeled them with anti-p16 antibodies. In addition to the observational pattern and labeling to define the latent classes (affected vs. non-affected), a computational tool was used for semi-quantitative analysis of p16 expression. The intensity of staining of the nucleus or cytoplasm was captured using the Gimp 2.10 software. ROC curves were used to determine cutoff values for p16 expression in patients classified as LSIL and HSIL by latent class statistics for each labeling stratum. RESULTS p16 nuclear labeling showed the best sensitivity and specificity to discriminate LSIL with low p16 expression (62%) and HSIL with high p16 expression (37%). Many patients whose lesions had intermediate levels of p16 nuclear staining were subsequently stratified according to the expression of p16 in the cytoplasm, indicating that five of 21 LSIL were at risk of progression, and 13 of 41 HSIL at risk of regression. CONCLUSIONS We suggest a hierarchical analysis, with histology at the first level, followed by a labeling analysis in the nucleus and then in the cytoplasm to increase the accuracy of the HPV cervical lesion stratification.

Abstract
The human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 early promoter and L1 gene methylation were quantitatively measured using pyrosequencing assay in anal cells collected from men who have sex with men (MSM) to determine potential biomarkers for HPV-related anal cancer. The methylation patterns of HPV16 genes, including the early promoter (CpG 31, 37, 43, 52, and 58) and L1 genes (CpG 5600, 5606, 5609, 5615, 7136, and 7145), were analyzed in 178 anal samples. The samples were diagnosed as normal, anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) 1, AIN2, and AIN3. Low methylation levels of the early promoter (< 10%) and L1 genes (< 20%) were found in all detected normal anal cells. In comparison, medium to high methylation (≥ 20–60%) in the early promoter was found in 1.5% (1/67) and 5% (2/40) of AIN1 and AIN2-3 samples, respectively. Interestingly, slightly increased L1 gene methylation levels (≥ 20–60%), especially at the HPV16 5’L1 regions CpGs 5600 and 5609, were demonstrated in AIN2-3 specimen. Moreover, a negative correlation between high HPV16 L1 gene methylation at CpGs 5600, 5609, 5615, and 7145 and a percentual CD4 count was found in AIN3 HIV positive cases. When comparing the methylation status of AIN2-3 to that of normal/AIN1 lesions, the results indicated the potential of using HPV16 L1 gene methylation as a biomarker for HPV-related cancer screening.

Abstract
Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a well‐established mucosotropic carcinogen, but its impact on urothelial neoplasm is unclear. We aimed to clarify the clinical and pathological features of HPV‐related urothelial carcinoma (UC). Methods Tissue samples of 228 cases of UC were obtained from the bladder, upper and lower urinary tract, and metastatic sites to construct a tissue microarray. The samples were analyzed for the presence of HPV by a highly sensitive and specific mRNA in situ hybridization (RISH) technique (RNAscope) with a probe that can detect 18 varieties of high‐risk HPV. We also conducted immunohistochemistry (IHC) for a major HPV capsid antibody and DNA‐PCR. Results The HPV detection rates varied among the methods; probably due to low HPV copy numbers in UC tissues and the insufficient specificity and sensitivity of the IHC and PCR assays. The RISH method had the highest accuracy and identified HPV infection in 12 (5.2%) of the cases. The histopathological analysis of the HPV‐positive UC showed six cases of usual type UC, five cases of UC with squamous differentiation (UC_SqD), and one case of micropapillary UC. The HPV detection rate was six‐fold higher in the cases of UC_SqD than in the other variants of UC (odds ratio [OR] =8.9, p = 0.002). In addition, HPV infection showed a significant association with tumor grade (OR =9.8, p = 0.03) and stage (OR =4.7, p = 0.03) of UC. Moreover, the metastatic rate was higher in HPV‐positive than in negative UC (OR =3.4). Conclusion These data indicate that although the incidence of HPV infection in UC is low, it is significantly associated with squamous differentiation and poor prognosis. Furthermore, our observations show that RNAscope is an ideal method for HPV detection in UC compared with the other standard approaches such as IHC and PCR assays.

Abstract
Background Human papillomavirus type 39 associated with genital intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive cancers, has a high prevalence in Southwest China. HPV E6, E7 are two main papillomavirus oncoproteins, closely relate to the function of HPV immortalization, cell transformation, and carcinogenesis. L1 is the major capsid protein, can reflect the replication status of the virus in cells and the progression of cervical lesions. The purpose of this study is to reveal the prevalence of HPV 39 and the genetic polymorphisms of HPV39 based on E6, E7 and L1 gene in southwest China. Methods Cell samples were collected by cervical scraped for HPV detecting and typing, and HPV39 positive samples were selected out. Important E6, E7 and L1 genes of HPV39 were sequenced and analyzed for the study of HPV39 genetic polymorphisms. Phylogenetic trees were constructed by Maximum-likelihood and Kimura 2-parameters methods in Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis version 6.0. The selection pressures of E6, E7 and L1 genes were estimated by Datamonkey web server. The secondary and three-dimensional structure of HPV39 E6, E7 proteins were created by sopma server and SWISS-MODEL software.
Results 344 HPV39 positive samples were selected from 5718 HPV positive cell samples. Among HPV39 E6-E7 sequences, 20 single nucleotide mutations were detected, including 10 non-synonymous and 10 synonymous mutations; 26 single nucleotide mutations were detected in HPV39 L1 sequences, including 7 non-synonymous and 19 synonymous mutations respectively. 11 novel variants of HPV39 E6-E7 (5 in E6 and 6 in E7) and 14 novel variants of HPV39 L1 were identified in this study. A-branch was the most frequent HPV39 lineage in southwest China during our investigation. Selective pressure analysis showed that codon sites 26, 87, 151 in E6 and 75, 180, 222, 272, 284, 346, 356 in L1 were positively selected sites, as well as codon sites 45, 138, 309, 381 were negative selection sites in L1 gene, E7 has neither positive selection sites nor negative selection sites. A certain degree of secondary and three-dimensional structure dislocation was existed due to the non-synonymous mutations. Conclusions Amino acid substitution affected the secondary and three-dimensional structure of HPV39, and resulting in the differences of carcinogenic potential and biological functions as well as the immune response due to the antigen epitopes difference, the antigen epitopes with stronger adaptability in Southwest will be screened out based on the above research results for the later vaccine development. And gene polymorphism of HPV39 in Southwest China may improve the effectiveness of clinical test and vaccine design, specifically for women in Southwest China.

Abstract
Background It is unclear whether low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 11 (LRP11), a newly found lipoprotein receptor regulatory protein, has the carcinogenic effects in cervical cancer. Methods Bioinformatics analysis, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining and evaluation, cell proliferation assay, flow cytometry, transwell migration and invasion assays, Western blotting, growth of LRP11-silenced cells in athymic nude mice were performed in this research. Results We found that LRP11 expression was higher in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and cervical cancer tissue than in normal cervix, and high expression of LRP11 was associated with differentiation degree (P=0.0266), indicating poor prognosis (P=0.0210). The silencing of LRP11 in SiHa and CaSki cell lines inhibited cell proliferation, reduced migration and invasion and suppressed cell growth in nude mice, which possibly related to cell cycle protein regulation of CDK 2/4, cyclin D1/E1, MMP-2/9, and VEGF. Furthermore, LRP11 showed substantial positive correlation with P16 in vivo and in vitro. Conclusion LRP11 plays important roles in proliferation, migration and invasion, with the potential to be a useful prognostic marker and therapeutic target for patients with HSIL and cervical cancer.
