[PMID: 38553620 PMCID: PMC10980800 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-57987-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a prevalent and prognostically challenging cancer worldwide. The role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cancer regulation is progressively being understood. This study aims to identify lncRNAs with diagnostic potential as biomarkers for HNSCC. Statistical analysis was performed on expression data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to identify potential lncRNAs associated with HNSCC. Four selected lncRNAs were validated using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and correlated with clinical factors. Functional roles were further investigated. A total of 488 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified in TCGA-HNSC. After rigorous evaluation based on p-values, survival analysis, and ROC analysis, 24 lncRNAs were prioritized for additional investigation. LINC00460, LINC00941, CTC-241F20.4, and RP11-357H14.17 were established as candidate diagnostic biomarkers. These lncRNAs exhibited elevated expression in HNSCC tissues and were associated with poor prognosis. Combining them showed high diagnostic accuracy. Notably, LINC00460 and CTC-241F20.4 demonstrated a significant elevation in the advanced stages of HNSCC. We constructed an lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network, and the array of significant regulatory pathways identified included focal adhesion, regulation of epithelial cell migration, and others. Additionally, these lncRNAs were found to influence immune responses by modulating immune cell infiltration in the HNSCC microenvironment. Our research indicates that LINC00460, LINC00941, RP11-357H14.17, and CTC-241F20.4 may have diagnostic and prognostic importance in HNSCC. Furthermore, we have gained insights into their potential functional roles, particularly about immune responses and interactions in the microenvironment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral cancer is one of the major public health issues in Pakistan and is the second most common malignancy in the country. This is mainly attributed to the widespread use of smokeless tobacco products, cigarettes, and paan without tobacco. This review aims to go beyond commonly discussed factors and, consequently, to provide a comprehensive picture of all the multi-faceted contributors to the high prevalence of the carcinoma of the oral cavity, including the role of human papillomavirus and genetic predisposition. The aim is to synthesise all available evidence on the predisposing factors of oral carcinoma in Pakistan. METHODS This is a comprehensive systematic review of all observational studies investigating the contributing factors of malignancy of the oral cavity in Pakistan, and it strictly follows the PRISMA guidelines. Multiple databases, such as PubMed, EBSCO CINAHL Plus, SCOPUS, and Ovid Medline, were used to find studies, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was searched for existing/ongoing reviews carried out on the same topic. A meta-synthesis of selected studies was carried out to create robust and statistically valid conclusions. RESULTS ST and cigarette smoking were found to be the major contributors to the burden of carcinoma of the lip and oral cavity. The included studies indicated that genetic predisposition and human papillomavirus could be major risk factors for the disease in the Pakistani population, but not enough research has been carried out to find their true impact. CONCLUSIONS Smokeless tobacco, cigarette smoking, genetic predisposition, and human papillomavirus can be considered significant risk factors for oral cancer in Pakistan.

Abstract
Most disease single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are regulatory and approximately half of heritability is occupied by the top 1% of genes, with the gene-level structure varying with the number of variants associated with the most common alleles. Cancer occurrence and progression are significantly affected by Claspin (CLSPN) gene polymorphism present in the population, which alters the expression, function, and regulation of the gene. CLSPN genotypes are associated with oral cancer, but the literature on this association is limited. As a result, the goal of this study is to investigate the correlation between CLSPN genotypes and oral cancers' development. This study will explore the presence of four CLSPN SNPs including rs12058760, rs16822339, rs535638 and rs7520495 gene polymorphisms, and analyze the expression of these genes in 304 cancer-free controls and 402 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cases. Attempts have been made to obtain insight into the role of CLSPN gene polymorphisms in oral cancer through the analysis of this study. We demonstrated that the OSCC risk of individuals with four CLSPN SNPs relative to the wild type did not differ significantly from that of the wild type when the polymorphisms are analyzed according to individual habits. We further studied the mechanism by which CLSPN polymorphisms affect the progression of clinicopathological features in OSCC patients. The results of the degree of cell differentiation showed that compared with patients of rs7520495 SNP carrying the CC genotype, the incidence of poor cell differentiation in patients carrying the CC + GG genotype was higher (AOR: 1.998-fold; 95% CI, 1.127-3.545; p = 0.018). In particular, patients with the G genotype of rs7520495 had increased poor cell differentiation compared with patients with the C genotype (AOR: 4.736-fold; 95% CI, 1.306-17.178; p = 0.018), especially in the drinking group. On the basis of our analysis of the Cancer Genome Atlas dataset, we found that higher CLSPN levels were associated with poorer cell differentiation in oral cancers. In this study, we provide the first evidence showing that CLSPN SNPs contribute to oral cancer. Whether or not rs7520495 can be used as a confirmatory factor in the future is uncertain, but it seems likely that it can be used as an important factor in predicting recurrence, response to treatment and medication toxicity to patients with oral cancer.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) related oral cancers are increasing and are associated with sexual risk behaviours. An increase in the incidence of oral cancer has been observed in South-central Asian countries. The objective was to systematically review the evidence on the association of HPV and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) among adults living in South-central Asia. We searched multiple databases and reference lists of relevant articles in December 2018. Quality assessment of the selected articles were done using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale. Thirteen out of 150 articles met the eligibility criteria. Most studies were from India (10/13) followed by Pakistan (2/13) and Bangladesh (1/13). Half (7/13) of the studies found a positive association between HPV with OSCC. HPV 16, HPV 18 and HPV 16/18 were found to be the most common types implicated in HPV infection associated with OSCC. Moreover, buccal mucosa was the most common site of oral cancer. The review found equivocal evidence in relation to the association of HPV with oral squamous cell carcinoma among people living in South Asia.

Abstract
AIM: The present study was designed to compile and screen data regarding HPV-related reported diseases to evaluate the status of HPV infection in Pakistan.
METHODS: The literature on the prevalence of HPV in Pakistan was searched in Google Scholar and other search engines using various keywords.
RESULTS: A total of 39 studies published from 2007 to 2018 were reviewed. About 7341 participants have been screened for HPV in Pakistan for the past 11 years, and according to this meta-analysis, the reported HPV prevalence was 23.1%. The highest HPV prevalence rate was observed among cervical cancer cases (80.4%) followed by normal cervical region (61.8%) and oral cancer (40.4%), respectively.
CONCLUSION: The high prevalence of HPV in Pakistan reflects the raised burden of HPV-associated diseases. The health-care system needs to be more organized in terms of awareness and screening programs, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease to reduce the burden of HPV in Pakistan.

Abstract
Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major risk factor for oral and cervical cancers. Hence, we developed a multianalyte electrochemical DNA biosensor that could be used for both oral and cervical samples to detect the high-risk HPV genotypes 16 and 18. The assay involves the sandwich hybridization of the HPV target to the silica-redox dye reporter probe and capture probe, followed by electrochemical detection. The sensor was found to be highly specific and sensitive, with a detection limit of 22 fM for HPV-16 and 20 fM for HPV-18, between the range of 1 fM and 1 µM. Evaluation with oral and cervical samples showed that the biosensor result was consistent with the nested PCR/gel electrophoresis detection. The biosensor assay could be completed within 90 min. Due to its simplicity, rapidity, and high sensitivity, this biosensor could be used as an alternative method for HPV detection in clinical laboratories as well as for epidemiological studies.

Abstract
Simple Summary Among the over 200 human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes identified, approximately 15 of them can cause human cancers. In this review, we provided an updated overview of the distribution of cancer-causing HPV genotypes by countries in East, Southeast and South Asia. Besides the standard screening and treatment methods employed in these regions, we unravel HPV detection methods and therapeutics utilised in certain countries that differ from other part of the world. The discrepancies may be partly due to health infrastructure, socio-economy and cultural diversities. Additionally, we highlighted the area lack of study, particularly on the oncogenicity of HPV genotype variants of high prevalence in these regions. Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection remains one of the most prominent cancer-causing DNA viruses, contributing to approximately 5% of human cancers. While association between HPV and cervical cancers has been well-established, evidence on the attribution of head and neck cancers (HNC) to HPV have been increasing in recent years. Among the cancer-causing HPV genotypes, HPV16 and 18 remain the major contributors to cancers across the globe. Nonetheless, the distribution of HPV genotypes in ethnically, geographically, and socio-economically diverse East, Southeast, and South Asia may differ from other parts of the world. In this review, we garner and provide updated insight into various aspects of HPV reported in recent years (2015–2021) in these regions. We included: (i) the HPV genotypes detected in normal cancers of the uterine cervix and head and neck, as well as the distribution of the HPV genotypes by geography and age groups; (ii) the laboratory diagnostic methods and treatment regimens used within these regions; and (iii) the oncogenic properties of HPV prototypes and their variants contributing to carcinogenesis. More importantly, we also unveil the similarities and discrepancies between these aspects, the areas lacking study, and the challenges faced in HPV studies.

Abstract
Background The tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 4 (OX40) and its ligand (OX40L) are members of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily and play roles as costimulatory immunomodulators to combat infectious diseases as well as cancers. Presently, many therapeutic agents focused on OX40 and OX40L are in trials for antitumor efficacy. In Pakistan, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the second most prevalent cancer with a mortality of 50% despite the availability of various therapeutic modalities. Data regarding serum levels of OX40 in patients with OSCC is lacking. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the OX40 levels in serum and their association with the clinicopathological features of the tumor. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted and serum samples of 78 biopsy-confirmed OSCC patients were collected prior to any treatment along with 10 healthy persons after informed consent. Serum levels of OX40 were measured via sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The mean serum levels of OX40 were 1.65 ± 0.64 ng/ml and 2.39 ± 0.58 ng/ml in early and late-stage disease patients of OSCC, respectively (p =<0.005). However, based on gender and tumor site, male gender and buccal mucosa tumors in late-stage OSCC patients showed higher mean levels of OX40, 2.42± 0.58 ng/ml and 2.41 ± 0.58 ng/ml (p =<0.05), respectively. Patients with well-differentiated tumors demonstrated mean serum levels of 2.28 ng/ml, and in moderately differentiated tumors, the mean levels were 2.19 ng/ml (p =0.47). Conclusions A high OX40 level is associated with advanced-stage disease and a poor prognosis, possibly reflecting the immune-exhausted status against OSCC.

Abstract
Prior studies have established the carcinogenic role of HPV16 and also demonstrated its unique biological behavior in cervical and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) but its role in oral leukoplakia (OL) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is not well explored. Therefore, in the present study, we assessed HPV16 prevalence using PCR and Anti-HPV16 antibodies for the first time and correlated its biological behavior using p16INK4a and Ki67 proliferation index (PI) in OL, OSCC, and OPSCC. This study included 63 subjects comprising of 25 OL, 26 OSCC, and 12 OPSCC cases. Exfoliated cells were collected and processed for PCR followed by immunohistochemistry with primary antibodies p16INK4a, Anti-HPV16, and Ki67. The expressions were evaluated and statistical analysis included Chi-square and Spearman's test. Cumulatively 37% (OL-7%, OSCC-14% & OPSCC-16%) of cases showed positive PCR expression. PCR positivity was observed to be significantly higher (p 0.00) in OPSCC (9/12) than OSCC (9/26) and OL (5/25) cases. Overall immunohistochemical expression of p16INK4a, Anti-HPV16, and Ki67 were significantly (p 0.02) higher in HPV16 (PCR) positive cases. HPV16 + OSCC cases showed higher grades of p16INK4a and Ki67 expression. We have demonstrated a prevalence of HPV16 in OL, OSCC, and OPSCC through PCR, which may be concluded as a gold standard for the detection of HPV16 DNA.

Abstract
Introduction: Viral diseases can have roles in oral cavity and larynx carcinoma. However, the relationship between HPV, herpetic infection and these cancers is not clear. Materials & methods: DNA of tissues from oral and larynx carcinoma was extracted and the presence of HPV, HSV-1, HSV-2, EBV, CMV and Varicella Zoster virus was detected. Results: We detected five HSV-1 in oral cavity cancer and two HSV-1 in larynx carcinoma. Also, four and two HPV-positive in oral cavity and larynx carcinoma were found, respectively. There were five HPV type 18 and one HPV type 31. None of our samples were infected with EBV, CMV, HSV-2 and Varicella Zoster virus. Conclusion: A higher prevalence of HPV and HSV-1 in cancerous tissues in comparison with normal ones was detected.

Abstract
Worldwide there has been a significant increase in the incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) etiologically attributed to oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV). Reliable and accurate identification and detection tools are important as the incidence of HPV-related cancer is on the rise. Several HPV detection methods for OPSCC have been developed and each has its own advantages and disadvantages in regard to sensitivity, specificity, and technical difficulty. This review summarizes our current knowledge of molecular methods for detecting HPV in OPSCC, including HPV DNA/RNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC), and DNA/RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) assays. This summary may facilitate the selection of a suitable method for detecting HPV infection, and therefore may help in the early diagnosis of HPV-related carcinoma to reduce its mortality, incidence, and morbidity.

[PMID: 33247695 PMCID: PMC8033133 DOI: 10.31557/apjcp.2020.21.11.3349] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: To identify the prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes 16 and 18 among patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in Thailand and investigate the associations of p16 expression and HPV16/18 with the demographic, clinicopathologic, and risk parameters. Materials and Methods: A total of 403 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded OSCC specimens from four centers in four regions were obtained. p16 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The detection of HPV16/18 DNA was performed by polymerase chain reaction. Results: Of all, 172 specimens (42.7%) were presented with amplifiable extracted DNA. Among these, 62.8% were positive for p16, 8.1% were positive for HPV16/18, and 5.8% were positive for both methods. Of all HPV-positive specimens, HPV18 was detected in 57.1%; HPV16 in 14.3%; and HPV16 and 18 (co-infection) in 28.6%. The prevalence of HPV16/18 varied between centers, with the highest rate in the northern center (20.0%). There was no significant correlation between p16 expression and HPV16/18. There were no significant associations of p16 expression and/or HPV16/18 with all variables. Conclusions: The prevalence of HPV16/18 infection in OSCC geographically varied in Thailand, with the highest rate in the northern region. Poor correlation between p16 and HPV16/18 suggests p16 not be used as a surrogate marker for HPV-positive OSCC.

Bukhari N, Joseph JP, Hussain SS, Khan MA, Wakim MJY, Yahya EB, Arif A, Saleem A, Sharif N. Prevalence of Human Papilloma Virus Sub Genotypes following Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas in Asian Continent, A Systematic Review Article. Asian Pac J Cancer Prev 2019; 20:3269-3277. [PMID: 31759348 PMCID: PMC7063012 DOI: 10.31557/apjcp.2019.20.11.3269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2019] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: In current era of blue brain intelligence and technology access at ease, standardization of disease etiology demands extensive research to drop-down human papilloma virus associated head and neck squamous cell carcinomas impact at large. Present retrospection aims to estimate comparative association of human papilloma virus sub-genotypes in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, critical analysis of existing research gap, treatment progress, co-infection, gender association, national status and challenges following Human papilloma virus led head and neck squamous cell carcinomas among world largest continent. Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are not just like malignancies of uterine cervix, lymph nodes and breast cancers. Human papilloma virus led head and neck squamous cell carcinomas treatment directly impact Central nervous system in humans. Intriguingly, human papilloma virus mediated immune response increases patient survival, which indirectly transmit human papilloma virus in future generations and act as a potential threat developing neurogenic disorders. Methods: An objective based search strategy, following comprehensive and specific search approaches were made to retrieve recent 12 years research data from five different NCBI databases. Out of 300 shortlisted articles, only 24 principal studies met the inclusion criteria. Results: Highest human papilloma virus prevalence (10.42 %) was found in South Asia, 5.8 % in South East Asia, 5.7 % East Asia, 2.5% in west Asia and no relevant updated data was found from central Asian continent. Highest prevalence (10%) of HPV genotype-16 was recorded in Asia among 3, 710 enrolled cases including 2201 males, 1149 females and 360 cases of unknown gender. While undifferentiated multiple HPV genotype prevalence was 5.5 % (204 cases). Lowest percentage of HPV sub-types 68, 72, 57, 39 were recorded respectively. Pakistan ranked top reporting highest number of HPV-16 cases, Taiwan HPV-18, India HPV-31, Japan HPV-35 and Singapore in HPV-16 and HPV-18 co-infection rates respectively. Conclusions: Exact prevalence of HPV associated head and neck squamous cell carcinomas among Asian population is still debatable. Due to higher heterogeneity (P< 0.00001), I2 = 81-88% at 95 % confidence interval), non-availability and limitations of reported studies from Asian sub-continents especially central Asia, western Asia and from south and south east Asia demand large scale collaborative research culture to standardize head and neck squamous cell carcinomas aetiology.
