Abstract
Squamous papillomas (SPs) of the head and neck are usually benign lesions associated with human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. However, the reported HPV detection rates vary widely, especially with respect to anatomical distribution. The etiology of SPs in the head and neck remains unclear; analyzing HPV genotypes of SPs based on anatomical sites could assist in clarifying the pathogenesis of SPs in the head and neck. Therefore, the aim of this study was to review the prevalence, subtypes, and anatomical distribution of HPV in head and neck SPs at a hospital in China; we also investigated whether p16, a marker of HPV infection in oropharyngeal carcinoma, could serve as a surrogate marker for HPV in head and neck SPs. The presence of HPV DNA of 23 types (5 low-risk HPV and 18 high-risk HPV types) was detected via real-time PCR. p16 immunohistochemistry was performed using SP sections. Age, sex, anatomical location, and HPV subtype were recorded for each case. In total, 105 SPs were identified, including 47 in the larynx, 42 in the pharynx, 6 in the external auditory canal (EAC), 5 in the oral cavity, and 5 in the nasal cavity. HPV was found in 57 (54.3%) cases, with the highest positivity rate in the larynx (46/47; 97.9%). Only 5/42 (11.9%) patients showed HPV positivity in the pharynx. HPV incidence was highly dependent on the anatomical site. SPs in the larynx and EAC were more likely to carry HPV than those in other anatomical sites. High-risk HPV infections were rarely associated with SPs in the head and neck region. The sensitivity and specificity of p16 immunohistochemistry for HPV infection were 88% and 96%, respectively. There may be an association between p16 and HPV infection in head and neck SPs, but further studies are needed to validate this assertion.

High recurrence rate in patients with juvenile-onset respiratory papillomatosis and its risk factors. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2022; 279:4061-4068. [PMID: 35441895 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-022-07390-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the recurrence rate and risk factors for recurrence in patients with juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP). METHODS A retrospective review was performed for all JORRP patients who underwent surgery between 2002 and 2019 at our institution. The demographic characteristics and clinical parameters were recorded. Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the rate of recurrence and its risk factors. RESULTS Our study included 721 patients. The cumulative recurrence rates at 1, 5, and 10 postoperative years following initial surgery were 74.2%, 90.0%, and 94.3%, respectively. Age at diagnosis younger than 4.5 years (HR = 2.380, 95% CI [1.169-4.846], P = 0.017), high Derkay anatomical score (HR = 1.136, 95% CI [1.043-1.236], P = 0.003) and HPV type 11 infection (HR = 2.947, 95% CI [1.326-6.551], P = 0.008) were independent risk factors for recurrence. Adjuvant therapy with interferon was less likely to recur (HR = 0.237, 95% CI [0.091-0.616], P = 0.003). Additionally, gender, tracheotomy, mode of delivery, parity, expression of Ki-67, HPV vaccination, and surgical treatment method were not independently associated with recurrence (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Age at diagnosis younger than 4.5 years, high Derkay anatomical score and HPV type 11 infection were associated with an increased risk for recurrence in patients with JORRP. Adjuvant therapy with interferon may reduce the risk of recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) is one of the most common benign lesions of hyperplastic respiratory epithelial tissue in children and is predominantly caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs) 6 and 11. The clinical course of the disease is variable, and some patients even develop a malignancy. The purpose of this review was to summarize the related factors affecting the disease course in patients with JoRRP. DATA SOURCES We used databases, including PubMed and Google Scholar, to search for publications on factors associated with the genetic, immune, and clinical aspects of JoRRP. The most relevant articles to the scope of this review were chosen for analysis. RESULTS Mother-to-child transmission is the most important mode of disease transmission; other factors, such as immune condition or genetic susceptibility, may be important determinants of JoRRP occurrence. Genetically, the presence of DRB1*0301 and HPV 6/11 E6/E7 is associated with a more severe disease. Immunewise, patients have an enhanced T helper 2-like response. In addition, regulatory T cells are enriched in tumors and may become one of the effective prognostic indicators. For clinical characteristics, patients infected with HPV-11 have more aggressive disease. However, compared with HPV type, age at first onset is a more important factor related to the aggressiveness of JoRRP. Furthermore, socioeconomic status may also affect the course. CONCLUSIONS Genetic, immune, and some clinical factors have been noted to play an important role in the course of JoRRP. Exploring definite influencing factors will be an important direction of research in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUD The pros and cons of tracheotomy, as a classic treatment of juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP), have gradually been recognized, but the exact impact of tracheotomy on remission and demise is not clear. OBJECTIVES To investigate the predicting influence of tracheotomy on prognosis for JORRP. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three hundred forty two patients with JORRP treated in Beijing Tongren Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical characteristics and prognosis parameters were compared in the group of tracheotomy and non-tracheotomy. RESULTS The rate of tracheotomy was 24.6% (84/342). Among these patients, 68 (81.0%) developed the tracheal papillomatosis. The onset age of RRP occurred earlier in tracheostomized group, and patients performed tracheotomy needed a greater number of surgeries and developed distal spread more easily (p < .05). The remission rate was significantly lower (35.1 vs. 53.7%) and the mortality higher (13.1 vs. 1.2%) in patients with tracheotomy than non-tracheotomy. Tracheotomy decreased odds of remission (OR = 0.48; 95%CI: 0.28-0.83) and increased odds of demise (OR = 11.98; 95%CI: 3.21-44.65). CONCLUSIONS The age at diagnosis, the surgical frequency and the medical level of hospital are important factors affecting the occurrence of tracheotomy. Patients who had undergone tracheotomy are prone to possess the low remission rate and high mortality.

Transcriptomic landscape of gene expression profiles and pathways in JORRP tumor tissues and HPV6/11 E6-E7-overexpressing HNSCC cell lines. J Virol 2021; 96:e0134221.

Abstract
Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) is the most common benign laryngeal neoplasm in children and is considered to be primarily caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11. In the present study, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of 8 tumors and 4 adjacent nontumor tissues to explore the transcriptional profiles of JORRP tumors. A total of 1151 upregulated genes involved in the IL-17 signaling pathway and 1620 downregulated genes involved in dysregulated inflammatory responses were reported. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays confirmed the upregulation of IL-17C in JORRP tumors compared with paired adjacent nontumor tissues. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assays showed positive correlations between CXCL1 and CXCL8 and the Derkay Clinic Score of JORRP patients. We further overexpressed the HPV6 or HPV11 E6 and E7 oncogenes in SNU-1076 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines and carried out RNA-seq. We found that HPV6-E6-E7 gene overexpression resulted in only 16 upregulated genes and 1 downregulated gene; however, HPV11-E6-E7 gene overexpression resulted in 1776 upregulated genes and 461 downregulated genes compared with the control cell lines. The DEGs of HPV11-E6-E7 gene overexpression were positively enriched in the DNA replication-related terms by Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and the IL-17 signaling pathway by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Taken together, our present findings revealed IL-17 signaling pathway-related gene profiles that might contribute to disease pathogenesis and that the HPV11 E6 and E7 oncogenes promote disease progression by enhancing tumor growth and activating the IL-17 signaling pathway in JORRP patients. Importance JORRP is primarily caused by HPV 6 and HPV11 infection, however, the gene signatures of tumor are less understood currently. In the present study, we performed RNA-sequencing and found up-regulated genes associated with "IL-17 signaling pathway" and down-regulated genes associated with inflammatory-related pathways. Further RNA-sequencing was performed in HPV6-E6-E7 or HPV11-E6-E7 over-expressing SNU-1076 HNSCC cells lines to explore the potential pathogenic molecular mechanisms of HPV virus. We found HPV11-E6-E7 over-expression resulted in gene expressions related to DNA replication and IL-17 signaling pathway. Our results suggested enriched IL-17 signaling pathway resulted from HPV11 infection might contribute to JORRP pathogenesis.

Abstract
Squamous cell papilloma (SCP) in the upper aero-digestive tract is a rare disease entity with bimodal age presentation both at childhood and in adults. It originates from stratified squamous and/or respiratory epithelium. Traditionally, SCPs have been linked to chemical or mechanical irritation but, since the 1980s, they have also been associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Approximately 30% of the head and neck SCPs are associated with HPV infection, with this association being highest for laryngeal papillomas (76–94%), followed by oral (27–48%), sinonasal (25–40%), and oropharyngeal papillomas (6–7%). There is, however, a wide variation in HPV prevalence, the highest being in esophageal SCPs (11–57%). HPV6 and HPV11 are the two main HPV genotypes present, but these are also high-risk HPVs as they are infrequently detected. Some 20% of the oral and oropharyngeal papillomas also contain cutaneous HPV genotypes. Despite their benign morphology, some SCPs tend to recur and even undergo malignant transformation. The highest malignant potential is associated with sinonasal inverted papillomas (7–11%). This review discusses the evidence regarding HPV etiology of benign SCPs in the upper aero-digestive tract and their HPV-related malignant transformation. In addition, studies on HPV exposure at an early age are discussed, as are the animal models shedding light on HPV transmission, viral latency, and its reactivation.

HPV Strain Predicts Severity of Juvenile-Onset Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis with Implications for Disease Screening. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13112556.

Abstract
Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) is the most common benign neoplasm of the larynx in children, presenting with significant variation in clinical course and potential for progression to malignancy. Since JoRRP is driven by human papillomavirus (HPV), we evaluated viral factors in a prospective cohort to identify predictive factors of disease severity. Twenty children with JoRRP undergoing routine debridement of papillomas were recruited and followed for ≥1 year. Demographical features, clinical severity scores, and surgeries over time were tabulated. Biopsies were used to establish a tissue bank and primary cell cultures for HPV6 vs. HPV11 genotyping and evaluation of viral gene expression. We found that patients with HPV11+ disease had an earlier age at disease onset, higher frequency of surgeries, increased number of lifetime surgeries, and were more likely to progress to malignancy. However, the amplitude of viral E6/E7 gene expression did not account for increased disease severity in HPV11+ patients. Determination of HPV strain is not routinely performed in the standard of care for JoRRP patients; we demonstrate the utility and feasibility of HPV genotyping using RNA-ISH for screening of HPV11+ disease as a biomarker for disease severity and progression in JoRRP patients.
