Abstract
The link between viruses and cancer has intrigued scientists for decades. Certain viruses have been shown to be vital in the development of various cancers by integrating viral DNA into the host genome and activating viral oncogenes. These viruses include the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Hepatitis B and C Viruses (HBV and HCV), Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus (HTLV-1), which are all linked to the development of a myriad of human cancers. Third-generation sequencing technologies have revolutionized our ability to study viral integration events at unprecedented resolution in recent years. They offer long sequencing capabilities along with the ability to map viral integration sites, assess host gene expression, and track clonal evolution in cancer cells. Recently, researchers have been exploring the application of Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) nanopore sequencing and Pacific BioSciences (PacBio) single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing in cancer research. As viral integration is crucial to the development of cancer via viruses, third-generation sequencing would provide a novel approach to studying the relationship interlinking viral oncogenes, viruses, and cancer. This review article explores the molecular mechanisms underlying viral oncogenesis, the role of viruses in cancer development, and the impact of third-generation sequencing on our understanding of viral integration into the human genome.

Tsydenova IA, Ibragimova MK, Tsyganov MM, Litviakov NV. Human papillomavirus and prostate cancer: systematic review and meta-analysis. Sci Rep 2023; 13:16597. [PMID: 37789036 PMCID: PMC10547781 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-43767-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The involvement of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the prostate carcinogenesis is a controversial issue. The presented meta-analysis was carried out to systematize the currently available research results regarding this question. The meta-analysis includes case-control studies from 1991 to 2022, which were collected from publicly available bibliometric databases. The meta-analysis was performed using Meta-Essentials_1.5 software. We used Begg's and Egger's methods to assess publication bias. Cochran's Q test was used to assess heterogeneity and the I2 index was employed for calculating the variation in the pooled estimations. The analysis was based on data from 27 case-control studies, which in total yielded 1607 tumour tissue samples of prostate and 1515 control samples (317 samples of normal tissue, 1198 samples of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)). According to the data obtained, there was high risk of prostate cancer by HPV infection in both cases. HPV was found in prostate cancer in 25.8% of cases, while in normal tissue samples the virus was detected in 9.2% of cases and in 17.4% with BPH as a control. In particular, more studies on the association of HPV and prostate cancer are needed to prove the role of HPV in the development of prostate cancer. In addition to the controversial question of whether HPV infection is associated with prostate cancer risk, it is worth considering whether the samples used as a control have an impact on the results. The impact of HPV in prostate tumour tissue samples on outcome should also be investigated.

Human Papillomavirus in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: Assessing Virus Presence in Tumor and Normal Tissues and Its Clinical Relevance. Microorganisms 2023; 11:microorganisms11010212. [PMID: 36677504 PMCID: PMC9865181 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11010212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The significance of the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the development of lung cancer remains an open question. The data from the literature do not provide conclusive evidence of HPV being involved in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. The aim of this work was to detect the presence of HPV infections with a high carcinogenic risk in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS the study involved 274 patients with stage IIA-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. We analyzed normal and tumor tissues as well as blood from each patient. DNA was extracted from patients' specimens, and HPV detection and genotyping was carried out using commercially available kits by PCR. RESULTS HPV was detected in 12.7% of the patients (35/274 of all cases). We detected nine different types of human papillomavirus in the patients, namely, types 16, 18, 31, 35, 45, 51, 52, 56, and 59. The HPV-positive samples had a clinically insignificant viral load and were predominantly integrated. The relationship between the presence of HPV and its virological parameters and the clinical and pathological parameters of the patients was established. A metastatic-free survival analysis showed that all patients with HPV in the tumor tissue had a higher 5-year survival rate (94%) compared with the HPV-negative patients (78%). The result was not statistically significant (p = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS data showing a 12.7% human papillomavirus representation among patients with non-small cell lung cancer were obtained. The presence/absence of a viral component in patients with lung cancer was a clinically significant parameter. HPV types 16, 18, and 56, which are the most oncogenic, were most often detected.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the first identified human papillomavirus (HPV) associated cancer and the most promising malignancy to be eliminated. However, the ever-changing virus subtypes and acquired multiple drug resistance continue to induce failure of tumor prevention and treatment. The exploration of cervical cancer heterogeneity is the crucial way to achieve effective prevention and precise treatment. Tumor heterogeneity exists in various aspects including the immune clearance of viruses, tumorigenesis, neoplasm recurrence, metastasis and drug resistance. Tumor development and drug resistance are often driven by potential gene amplification and deletion, not only somatic genomic alterations, but also copy number amplifications, histone modification and DNA methylation. Genomic rearrangements may occur by selection effects from chemotherapy or radiotherapy which exhibits genetic intra-tumor heterogeneity in advanced cervical cancers. The combined application of cervical cancer therapeutic vaccine and immune checkpoint inhibitors has become an effective strategy to address the heterogeneity of treatment. In this review, we will integrate classic and recently updated epidemiological data on vaccination rates, screening rates, incidence and mortality of cervical cancer patients worldwide aiming to understand the current situation of disease prevention and control and identify the direction of urgent efforts. Additionally, we will focus on the tumor environment to summarize the conditions of immune clearance and gene integration after different HPV infections and to explore the genomic factors of tumor heterogeneity. Finally, we will make a thorough inquiry into completed and ongoing phase III clinical trials in cervical cancer and summarize molecular mechanisms of drug resistance among chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biotherapy, and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Background Recent trends in the incidence of lung cancer have been reported despite the decreasing rate of smoking. Lung cancer is ranked among the top causes of cancer-related deaths. The ratio of adenocarcinoma to squamous cell carcinoma, as well as the ratio of women to men, is still increasing. Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been discovered in lung cancer tissues and blood specimens, particularly in Eastern countries. However, the association between HPV infection and lung adenocarcinoma remains unclear. Methods This population-based cohort study was conducted using data from Taiwan's single-payer national health insurance and cancer registry databases. Data on HPV infection, cancer, sex, age, comorbidities, urbanization, and occupation were collected. The cumulative incidence rates were generated using Kaplan–Meier curves and log-rank tests. COX regression analysis was used to estimate the hazard ratios of factors associated with cancer occurrence. We used data from 2007 and 2015. The cases were matched with sex and age in a 1:2 manner with 939,874 HPV+ and 1,879,748 HPV– individuals, respectively. Results The adjusted hazard ratios [95% confidence interval (CI)] for HPV infection in all lung cancers were 1.539 (1.436–1.649), male lung cancer 1.434 (1.312–1.566), female lung cancer 1.742 (1.557–1.948), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) 1.092 (0.903–1.320), male SCC 1.092 (0.903–1.320), female SCC 0.949 (0.773–1.164), adenocarcinoma 1.714 (1.572–1.870), male adenocarcinoma 1.646 (1.458–1.858), and female adenocarcinoma 1.646 (1.458–1.858). The highest adjusted hazard ratio for lung cancer was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 1.799 (1.613–2.007), followed by male sex 1.567 (1.451–6.863) and HPV infection. The highest adjusted hazard ratio for adenocarcinoma was HPV infection 1.714 (1.572–1.870), followed by COPD 1.300 (1.102–1.533), and for SCC, male sex 5.645 (4.43–3.37), followed by COPD 2.528 (2.002–3.192). Conclusion Our study showed that HPV infection was associated with the occurrence of adenocarcinoma of the lung in both men and women but was not associated with SCC of the lung.

Predictive Role of the p16 Immunostaining Pattern in Atypical Cervical Biopsies with Less Common High Risk HPV Genotypes. Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:diagnostics11111947. [PMID: 34829294 PMCID: PMC8619678 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics11111947] [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: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 10/15/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
P16 immunostaining is considered a useful surrogate of transcriptionally active high-risk (hr) HPV infection. Only strong and widespread “block-like” immunoreactivity is considered specific, whereas weak/focal p16 positive immunostaining is considered not specific, and follow-up and HPV molecular detection is not indicated. The aim of the study was to evaluate the presence of HPV DNA and Ki67 immunostaining in 40 cervical atypical biopsies (CALs) with mild and focal histological features suggestive of HPV infection—20 cases with weak/focal p16 positive immunoreactivity and 20 cases negative for p16 expression. In 16/20 weak/focal p16 positive CALs (80%), the INNO-LiPA HPV genotyping detected hrHPV genotypes (HPV 31, 51, 56, 59, 26, 53, 66, 73, and 82). Co-infection of two or more hrHPV genotypes was often evidenced. HPV16 and 18 genotypes were never detected. Ki67 immunostaining was increased in 10/20 cases (50%). In 19/20 p16 negative CALs, hrHPV infection was absent and Ki67 was not increased. These results suggest that weak/focal p16 immunostaining represents the early stage of transcriptionally active infection, strongly related to the presence of less common hrHPV genotypes, probably with a slower transforming power, but with a potential risk of progression if the infection persists. HPV DNA genotyping and follow-up could be useful in these cases to verify if they are able to evolve into overt dysplastic changes and to improve knowledge of less common hrHPV genotypes.

Abstract
Many factors are involved in carcinogenesis of the ovary, such human genetic and physiological characteristics as lifestyle, existing diseases of the reproductive system, and, as suggested, the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is well known that the human papillomavirus virus of high carcinogenic risk (HCR) plays a crucial role in the onset and development of cervical cancer, as well as cases of HPV positive breast cancer and endometrial cancer. The data on the presence of HPV in ovarian cancer are ambiguous: the researchers claim that there is no complete effect of the virus on the development of this type of cancer, and the detection of HPV in 60-80% of tumors. In this regard, there is a need to systematize the currently available research results on this controversial issue and conduct a meta-analysis of the association of HPV infection with the risk of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) yields powerful opportunities for studying human papillomavirus (HPV) genomics for applications in epidemiology, public health, and clinical diagnostics. HPV genotypes, variants, and point mutations can be investigated in clinical materials and described in previously unprecedented detail. However, both the NGS laboratory analysis and bioinformatical approach require numerous steps and checks to ensure robust interpretation of results. Here, we provide a step-by-step review of recommendations for validation and quality assurance procedures of each step in the typical NGS workflow, with a focus on whole-genome sequencing approaches. The use of directed pilots and protocols to ensure optimization of sequencing data yield, followed by curated bioinformatical procedures, is particularly emphasized. Finally, the storage and sharing of data sets are discussed. The development of international standards for quality assurance should be a goal for the HPV NGS community, similar to what has been developed for other areas of sequencing efforts including microbiology and molecular pathology. We thus propose that it is time for NGS to be included in the global efforts on quality assurance and improvement of HPV-based testing and diagnostics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The molecular drivers of human papillomavirus-related head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HPV + HNSCC) are not entirely understood. This study evaluated the relationship between HPV integration, expression of E6/E7, and patient outcomes in p16+ HNSCCs. METHODS HPV type was determined by HPV PCR-MassArray, and integration was called using detection of integrated papillomavirus sequences polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We investigated whether fusion transcripts were produced by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). E6/E7 expression was assessed by quantitative RT-PCR. We assessed if there was a relationship between integration and E6/E7 expression, clinical variables, or patient outcomes. RESULTS Most samples demonstrated HPV integration, which sometimes resulted in a fusion transcript. HPV integration was positively correlated with age at diagnosis and E6/E7 expression. There was a significant difference in survival between patients with vs without integration. CONCLUSIONS Contrary to previous reports, HPV integration was associated with improved patient survival. Therefore, HPV integration may act as a molecular marker of good prognosis.

An increase of microRNA-16-1 is associated with the high proliferation of squamous intraepithelial lesions in the presence of the integrated state of HR-HPV in liquid cytology samples. Oncol Lett 2020; 20:104.

Abstract
Studies of cervical cancer (CC) have reported that microRNA-16-1 (miR-16-1), which is an oncomiR, is increased in the tissues and cell lines of CC. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of miRNA-16-1 expression level with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the presence of squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) and the integration of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) DNA. The current study analyzed 80 samples obtained from women by liquid-based cytology, which revealed that 20 were negative for SIL (NSIL) and without HPV, 20 were low-grade SIL (LSIL), 20 were high-grade SIL (HSIL), and 20 were diagnosed as SCC with HR-HPV. The genotyping of the viral DNA was conducted via an INNO-LiPA-HPV array, the expression of miR-16-1 was determined by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, and the physical state of the HR-HPV was ascertained by in situ hybridization with amplification with tyramide. A total of eight HR-HPV genotypes were distinguished; the most frequent of these being HPV16, followed by multiple infection with HR-HPV (including HPV16). The mixed state of the HR-HPV was observed in 60 and 65% of LSIL and HSIL cases, respectively, while an integrated HR-HPV state was identified in 90% of cases with SCC. The expression level of miR-16-1 increased according to the grade of SIL, and cases with HSIL exhibited a significantly higher miR-16-1 expression level compared with women with NSIL (P<0.001; Table II). It can therefore be determined that the expression of miR-16-1 effects cellular proliferation, due to the viral integration of various HR-HPV genotypes in unique infection or in multiple infection. Thus, the overexpression of miR-16-1 could be monitored in women with LSIL, in order to discard a major lesion.

Tuominen H, Al-Samadi A, Salo T, Rautava J. Human myoma tissue-based extracellular matrix models for testing the effects of irradiation on the HPV positive cells. Virol J 2020; 17:87. [PMID: 32605632 PMCID: PMC7325078 DOI: 10.1186/s12985-020-01367-1] [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: 12/13/2019] [Accepted: 06/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This study was designed to investigate the invasion of human papillomavirus (HPV) positive human cervical carcinoma cell lines in human leiomyoma-based extracellular matrices in vitro, and to test the suitability of the model for studying the irradiation effects on the cancer cell invasion. Methods HPV positive cervical carcinoma cell lines SiHa and CaSki, and HPV negative squamous cell carcinoma cell line HSC-3 were used. CaSki cells contain around 600 copies of HPV 16 virus in the genome, whereas SiHa have only 1–2 copies per cell. Cells were analyzed using two different human tumor derived extracellular matrix methods (3D myoma disc model, and Myogel Transwell invasion assay). Cultures were irradiated with 4 Gy. Myoma invasion area and the depth of invasion were measured with ImageJ 1.51j8 software. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS Statistics (IBM SPSS® Statistics 25). Results All cells invaded through Myogel coated Transwell membranes and within myoma discs. In myoma discs, a difference in the invasion depth (p = 0.0001) but not in invasion area (p = 0.310) between the HPV positive cell lines was seen, since SiHa (less HPV) invaded slightly better than CaSki (more HPV). HSC-3 cells (HPV negative) invaded deepest (p = 0.048) than either of the HPV positive cell line cells. No difference was detected in the invasion area (p = 0.892) between HPV positive and HPV negative cells. The ionized radiation significantly reduced the invasion depth of HSC-3 (p = 0.008), SiHa (p = 0.0001) and CaSki (p = 0.005). No significant effect on the invasion area was detected in any of the cell lines. However, a significant difference was observed between SiHa and CaSki in the reduction of the invasion depth after radiation (p = 0.013) as the reduction was greater with SiHa than CaSki. Conclusions Both solid and gelatinous human leiomyoma-based extracellular matrix models were suitable platforms to study the invasion of HPV positive cervical carcinoma cells in vitro. SiHa cells with less HPV copy number cells invaded slightly better and were slightly more sensitive to irradiation than CaSki cells with high HPV copy number. However, there was no drastic differences between the invasion properties of these carcinoma cells.

Accurate Detection of HPV Integration Sites in Cervical Cancer Samples Using the Nanopore MinION Sequencer Without Error Correction. Front Genet 2020; 11:660. [PMID: 32714374 PMCID: PMC7344299 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2020.00660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2019] [Accepted: 05/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
During the carcinogenesis of cervical cancer, the DNA of human papillomavirus (HPV) is frequently integrated into the human genome, which might be a biomarker for the early diagnosis of cervical cancer. Although the detection sensitivity of virus infection status increased significantly through the Illumina sequencing platform, there were still disadvantages remain for further improvement, including the detection accuracy and the complex integrated genome structure identification, etc. Nanopore sequencing has been proven to be a fast yet accurate technique of detecting pathogens in clinical samples with significant longer sequencing length. However, the identification of virus integration sites, especially HPV integration sites was seldom carried out by using nanopore platform. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of identifying HPV integration sites by nanopore sequencer. Specifically, we re-sequenced the integration sites of a previously published sample by both nanopore and Illumina sequencing. After analyzing the results, three points of conclusions were drawn: first, 13 out of 19 previously published integration sites were found from all three datasets (i.e., nanopore, Illumina, and the published data), indicating a high overlap rate and comparability among the three platforms; second, our pipeline of nanopore and Illumina data identified 66 unique integration sites compared with previous published paper with 13 of them being verified by Sanger sequencing, indicating the higher integration sites detection sensitivity of our results compared with published data; third, we established a pipeline which could be used in HPV integration site detection by nanopore sequencing data without doing error correction analysis. In summary, a new nanopore data analysis method was tested and proved to be reliable in integration sites detection compared with methods of existing Illumina data analysis pipeline with less sequencing data required. It provides a solid evidence and tool to support the potential application of nanopore in virus status identification.

Human papillomavirus and lung cancer: an overview and a meta-analysis. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2019; 145:1919-1937. [PMID: 31236668 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-019-02960-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2019] [Accepted: 06/20/2019] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This review is devoted to assessing the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in lung cancer (LC) in the world. HPV is recognized as the etiological factor of cervical cancer, however, there is widespread evidence that this virus is detected not only in gynecological carcinomas, but also in tumors of other organs, in particular the upper respiratory tract and digestive tract. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search was conducted to a depth of 29 years in the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, databases. The review includes 95 articles. RESULTS Of all the analyzed studies (9195 patients), 12 works showed a complete absence of HPV in the biological material in patients with LC. The absence of a virus among lung cancer patients has been established for Canada, the Netherlands and Singapore. The highest average percent of occurrence of this virus is shown for such countries as: Brazil, Korea, Greece and Taiwan (more than 40%). But the highest percentage of HPV occurrence by region is observed in Latin America (33.5%), followed by the Asian countries (31%), in European countries the frequency is 18%. Interestingly, the highest occurrence of high oncogenic types (16 and 18) is observed in Asia (40.3%), then in Latin America (33.6%), Europe (25.6%) and North America (15.4%). Low-oncogenic types (6 and 11) are also predominantly observed in Asia (39.9%), while in Europe and North America 30% and 12.8%, respectively. A meta-analysis of the prevalence of HPV was conducted using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0. Program, which included 26 studies, the results of which revealed: the prevalence of HPV infection in tumor lung tissue was compared with normal lung tissue OR (95% CI) = 5.38 (3.21-9.00) p < 0.0001, significance was also found for Chinese studies OR = 6.3, 95% CI 3.42-11.53, p < 0.0001, I2 = 71.8% and for nine studies in Europe OR = 6.3, 95% CI 1.8-22.18, p = 0.004, I2 = 51.0%. However, given the fact that the frequency of occurrence of HPV in lung tumor tissue varies greatly, a question may arise about the real role of HPV in LC carcinogenesis, which makes further research relevant and promising.
