人乳头瘤病毒在宫颈鳞癌宫旁组织中的表达及意义

为研究高危型人乳头瘤病毒(high-risk human papillomavirus,hr-HPV)在宫颈鳞癌宫旁组织中的表达及意义,采用免疫组织化学技术对51例宫颈鳞癌患者术后宫旁组织不同位点的hr-HPV表达情况进行检测,应用重复测量设计的方差分析及单因素分析方法进行统计。hr-HPV在宫旁组织中的表达随着距宫颈距离的增加呈明显的梯度下降趋势(P0.05),在不同临床分期、宫颈浸润深度、淋巴结转移组内表达存在差异(P0.05),当临床分期ⅠB1期、宫颈浸润深度≤1/2以及无淋巴结转移时,hr-HPV在距离宫颈2 cm处主韧带、骶韧带及距离宫颈3 cm处阴道中表达开始与正常对照组无差异(P0.05)。结果表明,部分早期宫颈鳞癌患者可选择Ⅱ型改良式根治性子宫切除术,但阴道切除仍推荐3 cm。

人乳头瘤病毒16型 E7蛋白在子宫颈癌细胞内的定位

应用重组质粒在大肠杆菌中表达人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)16 型 E7 基因.以所产生的 E7 融合蛋白为抗原免疫家兔,制得抗 E7 蛋白抗血清.在子宫颈癌组织切片中用此抗血清作免疫组化染色(胶体金标记染色法).在光学显微镜下可观察到癌细胞中存在 E7 抗原黑色颗粒,位于细胞核内.主要附着于核膜,可证明 E7 基因在 HPV16 感染的子宫颈癌细胞中有强烈表达;提示 E7 基因可能即为 HPV16的癌基因.     

宫颈人乳头瘤病毒感染的药物治疗

宫颈癌是妇科三大恶性肿瘤之一。根据GLOBOCAN 2008数据统计,在中国女性所有恶性肿瘤中,发病比占6.3%,死亡比占4.6%。宫颈癌的发生与宫颈HPV感染存在密切关系。2012年NCCN指南提出30岁的女性推荐HPV DNA检查与细胞学检查结合用于宫颈癌的筛查。单纯HPV检测阳性时,患者可以选择继续观察随访。但事实上,妇科医生在临床诊疗过程中发现很多病人心理上无法接受对疾病不进行任何处理。而一些过度治疗方案包括LEEP,冷刀锥切,宫颈局部激光治疗等又有可能会造成宫颈机能不全,继发宫颈管狭窄,早产及低体重出生儿等不良结果。若积极处理的话有多种治疗方案可供选择。但是对于有生育要求的女性在治疗方案的选择上应该尤为慎重。本文对目前相关治疗方案的治疗效果及其能否阻止宫颈病变的进展等方面进行总结。旨在解决临床医生和患者共同关注的问题。     

人乳头瘤病毒与宫颈癌关系研究进展

宫颈癌是一种严重危害女性健康的恶性肿瘤,其发病率较高,位居女性恶性肿瘤的第二位,仅次于乳腺癌。自从1977年德国学者ZurHausen等从宫颈癌标本中发现了人乳头瘤病毒(Human papillomavirus HPV)DNA,并推测HPV感染与宫颈癌发生有关后,许多学者对HPV与宫颈癌的相关性进行了大量的研究,并证实HPV感染是宫颈癌发病的必需因素。目前,对于宫颈HPV感染检测有多种手段,其中聚合酶链反应(PCR)和捕获杂交技术在实验室中应用较广泛。在宫颈癌筛查中联合应用HPV检测和细胞学,不仅可以提高敏感性,而且还可以减少随诊频率,从而大大降低了宫颈癌的发生。

Resequencing Microarray Technology for Genotyping Human Papillomavirus in Cervical Smears

There are more than 40 human papillomaviruses (HPVs) belonging to the alpha genus that cause sexually transmitted infections; these infections are among the most frequent and can lead to condylomas and anogenital intra-epithelial neoplasia. At least 18 of these viruses are causative agents of anogenital carcinomas. We evaluated the performance of a resequencing microarray for the detection and genotyping of alpha HPV of clinical significance using cloned HPV DNA. To reduce the number of HPV genotypes tiled on microarray, we used reconstructed ancestral sequences (RASs) as they are more closely related to the various genotypes than the current genotypes are among themselves. The performance of this approach was tested by genotyping with a set of 40 cervical smears already genotyped using the commercial PapilloCheck kit. The results of the two tests were concordant for 70% (28/40) of the samples and compatible for 30% (12/40). Our findings indicate that RASs were able to detect and identify one or several HPV in clinical samples. Associating RASs with homonym sequences improved the genotyping of HPV present in cases of multiple infection. In conclusion, we demonstrate the diagnostic potential of resequencing technology for genotyping of HPV, and illustrate its value both for epidemiological studies and for monitoring the distribution of HPV in the post-vaccination era.     

High-Risk Cervical Human Papillomavirus Infections among Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Positive Women in the Bahamas

Background

High-risk (HR) HPV genotypes other than 16 and 18 have been detected in a significant proportion of immunocompromised females. We aim to evaluate the frequency of HR HPV genotypes in a population of HIV-positive Caribbean women.

Methods

One hundred sixty-seven consecutive, non-pregnant, HIV-positive females ≥18 years were recruited in this study. Each participant received a vaginal examination, PAP smear, and completed a questionnaire. DNA was extracted for HPV testing in 86 patients.

Results

Mean age was 39.1 years for women positive for HR HPV and 43.1 years for women negative for HR HPV (P value  = 0.040). 78% (130/167) of the women had HR HPV infections; the prevalence of abnormal cervical cytology was 38% among women who were HR HPV-positive compared to women who were HR HPV-negative (22%). Fifty-one percent of the 86 women with available genotype carried infections with HPV 16 and/or HPV 18; genotypes of unknown risk were also frequently observed. Women who had a CD4+ count of ≤200 had 7 times increased odds of carrying HR HPV infection in comparison to women with CD4+>200.

Conclusions

HR HPV infections in HIV infected females may consist of more than just HPV 16 and 18, but also HPV 52 and 58. Further studies are needed to determine whether HPV 52 and 58 play a significant role in the development of cervical cytological abnormalities in HIV+ women.     

Human Papillomavirus Types Distribution in Organised Cervical Cancer Screening in France

Background

Knowledge of prevalence rates and distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes prior high HPV vaccine coverage is necessary to assess its expected impact on HPV ecology and on cervical lesions and cancers.

Methods

Residual specimens of cervical cytology (N = 6,538) were obtained from 16 sites participating in organised cervical cancer screening pilot programs throughout France, anonymised and tested for HPV DNA using the PapilloCheck® genotyping test. Samples were stratified according to age of women and cytological grades.

Results

The age-standardised prevalence rates of HPV 16 and/or 18 (with or without other high-risk types) was 47.2% (95% Confidence Interval, CI: 42.4–52.1) in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs), 20.2% in low-grade SIL (95% CI: 16.7–23.7) and 3.9% (95% CI: 2.8–5.1) in normal cytology. Overall HR HPV were detected in 13.7% (95%I CI: 11.7–15.6) of normal cytology. In women below 30 years of age, 64% of HSILs were associated with HPV16 and/or 18. In our study population, HPV16 was the most commonly detected type in all cervical grades with prevalence rates ranking from 3.0% in normal cytology to 50.9% in HSILs. HPV16 was also detected in 54% (27/50) of invasive cervical cancers including 5 adenocarcinomas.

Conclusion

HPV16 was strongly associated with cervical precancer and cancer. The high prevalence rates of HPV16/18 infection among women below 30 years of age with HSILs suggests that the impact of vaccination would be primarily observed among young women.     

人乳头瘤病毒在宫颈病变中的感染分型及其特点

目的:了解宫颈病变中人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)的感染分型及特点,为宫颈癌筛查诊治以及HPV疫苗研制提供基础。方法:采用导流杂交技术原理对2010年06月至2016年06月在广西医科大学附属肿瘤医院首诊的1021例患者的宫颈脱落细胞标本进行HPV检测,并按宫颈病变程度分为对照组(正常组)(217例)、CINⅡ-Ⅲ组(222例)和宫颈癌组(582例),分析三组的HPV感染特点和型别分布情况及其在不同年龄段(≤35岁、35岁)和民族(汉族、少数民族)中的感染特点。结果:(1)62.16%的CINⅡ-Ⅲ患者处于30-49岁,66.32%的宫颈癌患者处于40-59岁。(2)对照组、CINⅡ-Ⅲ组及宫颈癌组HPV感染率分别为20.7%、86.5%、90.5%(p0.001)。其中,多重感染率分别为11.1%、29.7%、18.0%(p0.05)。(3)CINⅡ-Ⅲ组和宫颈癌组的不同年龄段HPV感染率均高于对照组,宫颈癌组中不同年龄段的感染差异有统计学意义(p0.0001),CINⅡ-Ⅲ组差异无统计学意义(p0.05)。(4)三组HPV主要感染型别都是HPV16、58、18、52、33,但是排序先后有差异。其中,HPV33感染率在CINⅡ-Ⅲ组排第3位且主要参与多重感染,而在宫颈癌中感染率低。三组中汉族与少数民族HPV感染率差异均无统计学意义(p0.05),但宫颈癌组中少数民族患者58型感染率明显高于52型。(5)宫颈癌组病理类型与HPV感染相关,鳞癌患者的HPV感染率及多重感染率均高于非鳞癌患者,其中HPV感染差异有统计学意义(p0.05)。Logistic回归分析示:宫颈鳞癌组OR=1.966(p=0.042),95%CI值为1.023-3.775。结论:随着宫颈病变程度的增加,HPV感染增加,且多重感染与宫颈病变密切相关。HPV33可能是癌前病变特殊感染亚型,HPV58可能是少数民族特有的感染亚型。HPV感染使宫颈癌患者患鳞癌的风险增加。     

Epstein-Barr Virus and Human Papillomavirus Infections and Genotype Distribution in Head and Neck Cancers

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence, genotypes, and prognostic values of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) infections in Japanese patients with different types of head and neck cancer (HNC).ResultsOf the 209 HNC patients, 63 (30.1%) had HPV infection, and HPV-16 was the most common subtype (86.9%). HPV E6/E7 mRNA expression was found in 23 of 60 (38.3%) HPV DNA-positive cases detected. The site of highest prevalence of HPV was the oropharynx (45.9%). Among 146 (69.9%) HNCs in which EBV DNA was identified, 107 (73.3%) and 27 (18.5%) contained types A and B, respectively, and 124 (84.9%) showed the existence of del-LMP-1. However, only 13 (6.2%) HNCs were positive for EBER, 12 (92.3%) of which derived from the nasopharynx. Co-infection of HPV and EBER was found in only 1.0% of HNCs and 10.0% of NPCs. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed significantly better disease-specific and overall survival in the HPV DNA+/mRNA+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPC) patients than in the other OPC patients (P = 0.027 and 0.017, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that stage T1–3 (P = 0.002) and HPV mRNA-positive status (P = 0.061) independently predicted better disease-specific survival. No significant difference in disease-specific survival was found between the EBER-positive and -negative NPC patients (P = 0.155).ConclusionsOur findings indicate that co-infection with HPV and EBV is rare in HNC. Oropharyngeal SCC with active HPV infection was related to a highly favorable outcome, while EBV status was not prognostic in the NPC cohort.     

Impact of Epstein-Barr virus co-infection on natural acquired Plasmodium vivax antibody response

BackgroundThe simultaneous infection of Plasmodium falciparum and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) could promote the development of the aggressive endemic Burkitt’s Lymphoma (eBL) in children living in P. falciparum holoendemic areas. While it is well-established that eBL is not related to other human malaria parasites, the impact of EBV infection on the generation of human malaria immunity remains largely unexplored. Considering that this highly prevalent herpesvirus establishes a lifelong persistent infection on B-cells with possible influence on malaria immunity, we hypothesized that EBV co-infection could have impact on the naturally acquired antibody responses to P. vivax, the most widespread human malaria parasite.Methodology/Principal findingsThe study design involved three cross-sectional surveys at six-month intervals (baseline, 6 and 12 months) among long-term P. vivax exposed individuals living in the Amazon rainforest. The approach focused on a group of malaria-exposed individuals whose EBV-DNA (amplification of balf-5 gene) was persistently detected in the peripheral blood (PersV_DNA, n = 27), and an age-matched malaria-exposed group whose EBV-DNA could never be detected during the follow-up (NegV_DNA, n = 29). During the follow-up period, the serological detection of EBV antibodies to lytic/ latent viral antigens showed that IgG antibodies to viral capsid antigen (VCA-p18) were significantly different between groups (PersV_DNA > NegV_DNA). A panel of blood-stage P. vivax antigens covering a wide range of immunogenicity confirmed that in general PersV_DNA group showed low levels of antibodies as compared with NegV_DNA. Interestingly, more significant differences were observed to a novel DBPII immunogen, named DEKnull-2, which has been associated with long-term neutralizing antibody response. Differences between groups were less pronounced with blood-stage antigens (such as MSP1-19) whose levels can fluctuate according to malaria transmission.Conclusions/SignificanceIn a proof-of-concept study we provide evidence that a persistent detection of EBV-DNA in peripheral blood of adults in a P. vivax semi-immune population may impact the long-term immune response to major malaria vaccine candidates.
