[PMID: 39300033 DOI: 10.1007/s43032-024-01679-5] [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: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024]
Abstract
Cervical cancer (CC) has been the prominent cause of cancer-associated fatalities among women in developing countries. In terms of occurrence and mortality, it is ranked second in Bangladesh. Although different genetic polymorphisms linked with this cancer have been investigated over time, the association between the HOTAIR rs7958904 variant and cervical cancer is being reported for the first time in Bangladeshi women. RT-PCR-based TaqMan assay was employed to perform this case-control study on 200 cervical cancer patients and 148 healthy volunteers. Both cases and controls had average ages of 57.5 and 52.5 years, respectively. According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the rs7958904 allele of HOTAIR gene pretended no deviation for both cases and control groups. The genotyping results showed that rs7958904 has a significant correlation to the development of cervical cancer in different genetic association models, such as co-dominant 1 (CC vs. GG: OR = 1.67, p = 0.0435), co-dominant 2 (CC vs. GG: OR = 3.13, p = 0.0006), co-dominant 3 (CC vs. CG: OR = 1.88, p = 0.0384), dominant (CG + CC vs. GG: OR = 1.98, p = 0.004), recessive (CC vs. GG + CG: OR = 2.25, p = 0.005), and allele model (C vs. G: OR = 1.70, p = 0.0006). In conclusion, the HOTAIR rs7958904 variant has a substantial role in cervical cancer development in Bangladeshi women. Further functional studies with a larger population size are required to support our findings.

Arch Biochem Biophys 2024; 761:110139. [PMID: 39242014 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2024.110139] [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: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 08/09/2024] [Accepted: 09/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024]
Abstract
It has been discovered that aberrant expression of RNF113A plays a significant role in various diseases, including esophageal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and X-linked trichothiodystrophy syndrome. Nevertheless, its functional implications in cervical cancer (CC) remain unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of RNF113A in both the development and prognosis of CC. To achieve this objective, a total of sixty cases were included in the follow-up investigation. The findings revealed a significant up-regulation of RNF113A protein in CC tissues compared to paired paracancerous tissues, and a high expression level of RNF113A was strongly associated with malignant phenotypes such as lymph node metastasis, differentiation degree, depth of invasion, and FIGO stage. Meanwhile, RNF113A was found to be an independent prognostic risk factor, with its high expression significantly correlating with a reduced overall survival period in patients. To elucidate the underlying cause and mechanism of the unfavorable prognosis associated with RNF113A, comprehensive functional investigations were conducted both in vitro and in vivo.Interestingly, it was revealed that RNF113A promoted migration and invasion while inhibiting apoptosis of CC cells, thereby contributing to a poor prognosis. Mechanistically, RNF113A regulated the progression and prognosis of CC through the miR197/Prp19/p38Mark signaling pathway. Overall, our findings underscore the potential clinical significance of RNF113A as an unfavorable prognostic factor in CC.

Abstract
The persistence of the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) infection on the cervical epithelium contributes to the progression of cervical cancer. Studies have demonstrated that HPV16 genetic variants may be associated with different risks of developing cervical cancer. However, the E5 oncoprotein of HPV16, which is related to several cellular mechanisms in the initial phases of the infection and thus contributes to carcinogenesis, is still little studied. Here we investigate the HPV16 E5 oncogene variants to assess the effects of different mutations on the biological function of the E5 protein. We detected and analyzed the HPV16 E5 oncogene polymorphisms and their phylogenetic relationships. After that, we proposed a tertiary structure analysis of the protein variants, preferential codon usage, and functional activity of the HPV16 E5 protein. Intra-type variants were grouped in the lineages A and D using in silico analysis. The mutations in E5 were located in the T-cell epitopes region. We therefore analyzed the interference of the HPV16 E5 protein in the NF-kB pathway. Our results showed that the variants HPV16E5_49PE and HPV16E5_85PE did not increase the potential of the pathway activation capacity. This study provides additional knowledge about the mechanisms of dispersion of the HPV16 E5 variants, providing evidence that these variants may be relevant to the modulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway.

[PMID: 38732382 PMCID: PMC11083870 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14090968] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The current manuscript's aim was to determine the human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype-specific prevalence and distribution among individuals, males, and females, of different ages in the region of Apulia, Italy, highlighting the possible variables involved in the carcinogenicity mechanism. In addition, we proposed two hypothetical models of HPV's molecular dynamics, intending to clarify the impact of prevention and therapeutic strategies, explicitly modeled by recent survey data. METHODS We presented clinical data from 9647 participants tested for either high-risk (HR) or low-risk (LR) HPV at the affiliated Bari Policlinic University Hospital of Bari from 2011 to 2022. HPV DNA detection was performed using nested-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and multiplex real-time PCR assay. Statistical analysis showed significant associations for all genders and ages and both HR- and LR-HPV types. A major number of significant pairwise associations were detected for the higher-risk types and females and lower-risk types and males. RESULTS The overall prevalence of HPV was 50.5% (n-4.869) vs. 49.5% (n-4.778) of the study population, of which 74.4% (n-3621) were found to be HPV high-risk (HR-HPV) genotypes and 57.7% (n-2.807) low-risk HPV (LR-HPV) genotypes, of which males were 58% and females 49%; the three most prevalent HR-HPV genotypes were HPV 53 (n707-15%), 16 (n704-14%), and 31 (n589-12%), and for LR-HPV, they were 42 (19%), 6 (16%), and 54 (13%); 56% of patients screened for HPV were ≤ 30 years old, 53% were between 31 and 40 years old, 46% were 41-50 and 51-60 years old, and finally, 44% of subjects were >60 years old. CONCLUSIONS Our study provided comprehensive epidemiological data on HPV prevalence and genotype distribution among 9647 participants, which could serve as a significant reference for clinical practice, and it implied the necessity for more effective screening methods for HPV carcinogenesis covering the use of more specific molecular investigations. Although this is a predominantly descriptive and epidemiological study, the data obtained offer not only a fairly unique trend compared to other studies of different realities and latitudes but also lead us to focus on the HPV infection within two groups of young people and adults and hypothesize the possible involvement of dysbiosis, stem cells, and the retrotransposition mechanism.

Free Radic Biol Med 2024; 214:2-18. [PMID: 38307156 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2024.01.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
Due to insufficient and defective vascularization, the tumor microenvironment is often nutrient-depleted. LDHA has been demonstrated to play a tumor-promoting role by facilitating the glycolytic process. However, whether and how LDHA regulates cell survival in the nutrient-deficient tumor microenvironment is still unclear. Here, we sought to investigate the role and mechanism of LDHA in regulating cell survival and proliferation under energy stress conditions. Our results showed that the aerobic glycolysis levels, cell survival and proliferation of cervical cancer cells decreased significantly after inhibition of LDHA under normal culture condition while LDHA deficiency greatly inhibited glucose starvation-induced ferroptosis and promoted cell proliferation and tumor formation under energy stress conditions. Mechanistic studies suggested that glucose metabolism shifted from aerobic glycolysis to mitochondrial OXPHOS under energy stress conditions and LDHA knockdown increased accumulation of pyruvate in the cytosol, which entered the mitochondria and upregulated the level of oxaloacetate by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PC). Importantly, the increase in oxaloacetate production after absence of LDHA remarkably activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which increased mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy, promoted mitochondrial homeostasis, thereby decreasing ROS level. Moreover, repression of lipogenesis by activation of AMPK led to elevated levels of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), which effectively resisted ROS-induced cell ferroptosis and enhanced cell survival under energy stress conditions. These results suggested that LDHA played an opposing role in survival and proliferation of cervical cancer cells under energy stress conditions, and inhibition of LDHA may not be a suitable treatment strategy for cervical cancer.

[PMID: 38978854 PMCID: PMC11227681 DOI: 10.15388/amed.2024.31.1.1] [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: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a necessary cause for development of cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer, however, only a small percentage of women progress to cervical cancer. The local immune response, determined, among other factors, by Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) genes, is thought to be significant. Still the results of genome studies are inconsistent and differ between ethnical populations. The aim of the study was to assess an association between HLA-DQA1*; DQB1*; DRB1* allele's genetic variants between women with cervical precancerous lesions and healthy controls in Latvia. Materials and methods From January until April 2017 we enrolled 84 consecutive patients referred for colposcopy to Riga East University Hospital (Latvia) due to abnormal cervical cytology results. 57 women who came for a regular check-up and had normal cytology smears were included in the control group. Material from the cervix was taken for subsequent HLA genotyping of 13 DRB1*, 8 DQA1*, and 12 DQB1* alleles. Colposcopy was performed on all participants. In case of visual suspicion for CIN cervical biopsy was done. Results There were 57 "no CIN" patients, 23 histologically proven CIN 1 and 61 CIN2+ cases in the study population. CIN2+ was more often associated with DQA1*0401 (OR 6.68, 95% CI 1.47-30.29, p=0.014), DRB*15 (OR 2.99, 95% CI 1.22-7.39, p=0.017), DQB1*0401 (OR 2.91, 95%CI 1.11-7.68, p=0.03), DQA1*0103 (OR 2.72, 95% CI 1.02-7.21, p=0.045), DRB1*11 (OR 2.42, 95% CI 1.10-5.33, p=0.029) and DQB1*0301 (OR 1.94, 95% CI 1.12-3.38, p=0.018). Women with "no CIN" more often had DQB1*0501 (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.04-0.81, p=0.026), DRB1*16 (OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.06-0.78, p=0.019), DQA1*0301 (OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.14-0.87, p=0.024) and DRB1*14 (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.01-0.46, p=0.007). Conclusions In the current study we have demonstrated a strong association with risk and protective HLA class II alleles that are determined by the HLA-DRB1*; DQA1*; DQB1*.

Abstract
Gynecological cancers are the leading cause of malignancy-related death and disability in the world. These cancers are diagnosed at end stages, and unfortunately, the standard therapeutic strategies available for the treatment of affected women [including chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery] are not safe and effective enough. Moreover, the unwanted side-effects lowering the patients' life quality is another problem for these therapies. Therefore, researchers should search for better alternative/complementary treatments. The involvement of autophagy in the pathogenesis of various cancers has been demonstrated. Recently, a novel crosstalk between microRNAs, small non-coding RNAs with important regulatory functions, and autophagy machinery has been highlighted. In this review, we indicate the importance of this interaction for targeted therapy in the treatment of cancers including gynecological cancers, with a focus on underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mutations in the NLRP3gene have previously been linked to certain forms of cancer, but there have not been any specific studies examining the association between NLRP3 polymorphisms and cervical cancer (CC). This study was therefore designed to investigate the effect of NLRP3 gene polymorphisms on HPV infection and cervical cancer in southern Chinese population. METHODS Multiplex PCR and next-generation sequencing approaches were used to assess the NLRP3 rs10754558 and rs10733113 polymorphisms in 404 cervical lesion patients, including 227 diagnosed with CC and 177 diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN), with 419 healthy female controls being included for comparison. Correlations between the rs10754558 and rs10733113 genotypes and alleles in these patients and CC and CIN were then analyzed. RESULTS No correlations were found between NLRP3 rs10754558 and rs10733113 and human papillomavirus(HPV) infection status. Relative to the healthy control group, the NLRP3 rs10754558 GG genotype, CG + GG genotype, and G allele frequencies were significantly increased among patients with cervical lesions (CC and CIN) (OR = 1.815,P = 0.013;OR = 1.383, P = 0.026; OR = 1.284, P = 0.014,respectively), whereas no such differences were observed for rs10733113. A higher cervical lesion risk was detected for patients over the age of 45 exhibiting the rs10754558 GG genotype (OR = 1.848, P = 0.040). Additionally, the risk of CC was elevated in patients with the rs10754558 GG genotype or the G allele relative to patients with the CC genotype or the C allele(OR = 1.830, P = 0.029; OR = 1.281, P = 0.039). The rs10733113 genotypes or alleles were not significantly associated with CC risk (P > 0.05). No association between rs10754558 and rs10733113 genotypes and CC patient clinicopathological features were observed (P > 0.05). Serum NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels were significantly elevated in CC patients relative to healthy controls(P < 0.05). Relative to the CC genotype, CC patients harboring the rs10754558 GG genotype exhibited significantly elevated IL-1β and IL-18 levels(P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The rs10754558 polymorphism in the NLRP3 gene may contribute to an elevated risk of CC, although it is not significantly correlated with HPV infection and CC progression.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is associated with persistent infections by high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types that may have nucleotide polymorphisms and, consequently, different oncogenic potentials. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the genetic variability and structural effects of the E7 oncogene of HPV58 in cervical scraping samples from Brazilian women. The study was developed with patients from hospitals in the metropolitan area of Recife, PE, Brazil. The most frequent HPV types were, in descending order of abundance, HPV16, 31, and 58. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the isolates were classified into sublineages A2, C1, and D2. Two positively selected mutations were found in E7: 63G and 64T. The mutations G41R, G63D, and T64A in the E7 protein reduced the stability of the protein structure. Utilizing an NF-kB reporter assay, we observed a decrease in the NK-kB pathway activity with the HPV58-E7 variant 54S compared to the WT E7. The other detected E7 HPV58 variants presented similar NF-kB pathway activity compared to the WT E7. In this study, it was possible to identify mutations that may interfere with the molecular interaction between the viral oncoproteins and host proteins.

Abstract
This study searched for aging-related genes (ARGs) to predict the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer (CC). All data were obtained from Molecular Signatures Database, Cancer Genome Atlas, Gene Expression Integration, and Genotype Organization Expression. The R software was used to screen out the differentially expressed ARGs (DE-ARGs) between CC and normal tissues. A protein-protein interaction network was established by the DE-ARGs. The univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted on the first extracted Molecular Complex Detection component, and a prognostic model was constructed. The prognostic model was further validated in the testing set and GSE44001 dataset. Prognosis was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curves, and accuracy of the prognostic model was assessed by receiver operating characteristic area under the curve analysis. An independent prognostic analysis of risk score and some clinicopathological factors of CC was also performed. The copy-number variant (CNV) and single-nucleotide variant (SNV) of prognostic ARGs were analyzed by the BioPortal database. A clinical practical nomogram was established to predict individual survival probability. Finally, we carried out cell experiment to further verify the prognostic model. An eight-ARG prognostic signature for CC was constructed. High-risk CC patients had significantly shorter overall survival than low-risk patients. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve validated the good performance of the signature in survival prediction. The Figo_stage and risk score served as independent prognostic factors. The eight ARGs mainly enriched in growth factor regulation and cell cycle pathway, and the deep deletion of FN1 was the most common CNV. An eight-ARG prognostic signature for CC was successfully constructed.

Abstract
Background Cervical cancer is one of the reproductive organ cancers found in women which commonly arises from the cervix. It is the second most prevalent cancer among women in developing countries including Ethiopia. However, the association between positive cervical cancer screening and modifiable behavioral risk has not been well characterized in developing countries. Objective To identify determinants of positive cervical cancer screening among reproductive-age women in the South Wollo Zone, Amhara region, northeast Ethiopia. Method An unmatched case-control study design was conducted from January 28 to April 12, 2020 in the South Wollo Zone. Four hundred ten clients participated in the study with 82 cases 328 controls. Study subjects were selected by systematic random sampling. Data entered using Epi data version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 24. A bivariable and multivariable logistic regression model was done. The adjusted odds ratio with its 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to measure the strength and direction of the association and P-value <.05 was declared as significant. Results A total of 410 study subjects have participated with a 100% response rate. The mean age of respondents was found to be 35.58 (±8.05) years. Study participants having a history of sexually transmitted infections (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 3.69, 95% CI [1.70-8.01]), having poor knowledge about cervical cancer (AOR = 2.31, 95% CI [1.32-4.02]) and two or more lifetime sexual partners of women and husbands (AOR = 2.80, 2.55, 95% CI [1.22-6.44, 1.28-5.06]) respectively were independent predictors of positive cervical cancer screening. Conclusion and recommendation Risk factors that determine positive cervical cancer screening were identified. Comprehensive strategies that are focused on addressing sexual behavior and knowledge gaps should be designed. Efforts on improving and cultivating those significant factors should be done by stakeholders to prevent cervical cancer.

Microrna 2022; 10:219-224. [PMID: 34989332 DOI: 10.2174/2211536610666210715102554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of Cervical Cancer (CC) is disproportionately higher in developing countries. It is the second most frequent cancer type among Bangladeshi women and the major cause of morbidity and mortality. However, no previous data reported the association of miR-218-2 gene polymorphisms in Bangladeshi cervical cancer patients. AIM This case-control study was designed to find the link between the rs11134527 polymorphism in miR-218-2 and CC. METHODS A total of 488 subjects were recruited, comprising 256 cervical cancer patients and 232 healthy females. Genotyping was conducted with the tetra-primer ARMS-PCR technique to detect the association. RESULTS The results of genotype data showed that rs11134527 was in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both CC cases and controls (P >0.05). Overall, the polymorphism was found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer with AG genotype (AG vs. GG: OR = 2.26, 95% Cl = 1.40-3.66, P = 0.0008), AA genotype (AA vs. GG: OR = 3.64, 95% Cl = 2.17-6.10, P <0.0001), dominant model (AG+AA vs. GG: OR = 2.75, 95% Cl = 1.75-4.31, P <0.0001), recessive model (AA vs. GG+AG: OR = 2.08, 95% Cl = 1.41-3.08, P = 0.0002), and A allele (A vs. G: OR = 1.94, 95% Cl = 1.51-2.51, P <0.0001). All of these correlations remained statistically significant after performing Bonferroni correction (P <0.008). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that the rs11134527 polymorphism in the miR-218-2 gene contributes to the susceptibility of CC in Bangladeshi women.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in women worldwide, with high incidence and mortality rates, particularly in developing countries. There are human papillomavirus vaccines and cytological screening programs available; however, there are no molecular markers that would aid the prognosis of the course of the disease or prediction of the outcomes of the patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) gene (rs11006132, rs11006129, rs1937, rs16912174, rs16912202 and rs3900887), and the clinical parameters and tumor phenotype of patients with cervical cancer. DNA isolated from patients with cervical cancer (n=172) was used for genotyping using Real-Time PCR using TaqMan probes. It was revealed that the TFAM rs3900887 TT and AT genotypes were associated with a lower risk of developing larger tumors. The results showed an association between the rs3900887 SNP and tumor phenotype, indicating TFAM rs3900887 as a potential biomarker for tumor size in cervical cancer.

Abstract
Background miR-21, miR-26b, miR-221/222 and miR-126 play crucial roles in cervical cancer development. Studies have shown that polymorphisms in miRNA genes can affect miRNA expression, which might be associated with cancer development. Methods Ten single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the miR-21, miR-26b, miR-221/222 and miR-126 genes (rs1292037, rs13137 in miR-21; rs2227255, rs2227258 in miR-26b; rs2858061, rs34678647, rs2858060, rs2745709 in miR-221/222; rs2297537, rs2297538 in miR-126) were selected, and genotyped in a total of 2176 individuals, including 435 patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), 743 patients with cervical cancer (CC) and 998 healthy persons using TaqMan assays, and their associations with CIN and CC were evaluated. Results Our results showed significant differences for the rs2297538 genotypes between the CIN and CC groups (P = 0.001). In addition, our results also showed significant differences for the rs2297537 alleles between the CIN and CC groups (P = 0.003), and the C allele of rs2297537 might be associated with a decreased risk of CC (OR = 0.72, 95%CI: 0.58–0.90). At the inheritance analysis, between the CIN and control groups, the T/T-T/C genotype in rs1292037 and A/A-A/T genotype in rs13137 might be associated with an increased risk of CIN in the recessive model (OR = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.17–2.20 and OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.15–2.15). In addition, the C/C-T/T genotype of rs2745709 might be associated with a decreased risk of CIN in the overdominant model (OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.52–0.82). Between, CIN and CC group, the T/T-C/C genotype in rs1292037 and A/A-T/T genotype in rs13137 might be associated with an increased risk of CC in the overdominant model (OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.12–1.81 and OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.12–1.80). The rs2297538 G/G-A/G genotype might be associated with an increased risk of CC in the recessive model (OR = 2.83, 95% CI: 1.52–5.25). The rs2297537 2C/C + C/G genotype might be associated with a decreased risk of CC (OR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.57–0.89) in the log-additive model. The rs2745709 T/T-C/C genotype might be associated with an increased risk of CC (OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.13–1.83) in the overdominant model. Conclusion Our results indicate that rs2297538 and rs2297537 in miR-126, rs1292037 and rs13137 in miR-21, and rs2745709 in miR-221/222, may have important roles in the development of CIN or CC.

Abstract
Genetic polymorphism in pathogen recognition receptors tends to influence infection, disease susceptibility, and progression. We analyzed the association of TLR4 and TLR9 gene polymorphisms with multiple hrHPV infections and HPV16 copy number in cervicitis and cervical cancer. A total of 440 cervical cancer, cervicitis, and healthy individuals were studied using PCR-based assays. Student t-test, chi-square test, Welch's t-test, and Fisher's Exact test were utilized to evaluate the association of HPV infection with polymorphisms. Haploview and FAMHAP were used to analyze haplotype association with HPV infection and viral load. Study results revealed HPV45 infection as the most common one in cervical cancer after HPV16, and one-fourth HPV positive cervical cancer patients possessed multiple HPV infections. Mean HPV16 copy number of 264.4 ± 58.7 and 2.1 ± 3.3 copies/cell was detected in cervical cancer and cervicitis, respectively. TLR4 rs10759931 was protective against multiple hrHPV infections. TLR4 haplotype ACAC was associated with an increased risk of multiple hrHPV infections. TLR9 SNPs rs187084, rs352140, and rs352139 were associated with decreased risk of high HPV16 copy number. Augmentation of efforts for the multivalent HPV vaccination in India is suggested. The analyzed polymorphisms were shown to modulate hrHPV co-infections and HPV16 viral load that warrants further analysis.

Abstract
While human papillomavirus is the primary cause of cervical cancer, other factors may influence susceptibility and response to the virus. Candidates include douching and talcum powder applied in the genital area. We used Cox proportional hazards models to estimate confounder-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in the Sister Study (2003-2009), a US cohort of women aged 35-74. We considered pre-baseline (n = 523) and incident (n = 31) cervical cancers. Douching at ages 10-13 was positively associated with pre-baseline cervical cancer (HR 1.32, 95% CI 0.86-2.03), though the association was not statistically significant. We did not observe an association between adolescent talc use and pre-baseline cervical cancer (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.76-1.19). Douching in the year before enrollment was positively associated with incident cervical cancer (HR 2.56, 95% CI 1.10-5.99). The association between recent genital talc use and incident cervical cancer was positive, but not statistically significant (HR 1.79, 95% CI 0.78-4.11). The observed positive association between douching and incident cervical cancer is consistent with previous retrospective case-control studies. In the first study to examine genital talc use and cervical cancer, we did not see evidence of an association.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis to systematically summarize and investigate the association of miRNA-124 rs531564, miRNA-218 rs11134527, miRNA-146a rs2910164, miRNA-196a2 rs11614913, and miRNA-499 rs3746444 polymorphisms with cervical cancer. A systematic review was performed to identify relevant studies using Embase and PubMed databases. A chi-square-based Q-test combined with the inconsistency index (I 2) was used to check the heterogeneity between studies. A total of six case-control studies on rs2910164 and rs11614913, 4 studies on rs3746444 and rs11134527, and three studies on rs531564 were included. No evidence of association was found between miR-146a rs2910164, miR-196a2 rs11614913, miRNA-499 rs3746444, and miR-218 rs11134527 polymorphisms and cervical cancer risk in all the genetic models. The miR-124 rs531564 polymorphism was associated with a statistically increased risk of cervical cancer in a homozygote model (CC vs. GG: OR = 2.87, 95% CI: 1.40-5.91, P H = 0.887), dominant model (GC/CC vs. GG: OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.07-1.80, P H = 0.409), and recessive model (CC vs. GC/GG: OR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.58-3.23, P H = 0.979). However, this finding should be interpreted with caution for limited samples and heterogeneity. Large-scale and well-designed studies are needed to validate our result.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the function and mechanism of the protein-coding gene CNPY2 in the glycolysis of cervical cancer cells. Cells were exposed to normoxia and hypoxia conditions. Knockdown and ectopic overexpression of CNPY2 were achieved by transfection of small interfering RNA (siRNA) specific to CNPY2 or CNPY2 overexpression vectors, respectively. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were used to evaluate CNPY2 expression in patient specimens and different cervical cancer cell lines under normoxia or hypoxia conditions. Cell viability was assessed by MTT and colony formation assays. Glucose consumption, lactate production, oxygen consumption and ATP production were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay were performed to detect interaction between hypoxia-induced factor 1α (HIF-1α) on CNPY2 promoter. CNPY2 upregulation was a characteristic of cervical cancer and correlated with poor prognosis. Knockdown and overexpression of CNPY2 inhibited and promoted proliferation glucose consumption, lactate production, oxygen consumption and ATP production in cervical cancer cells, respectively. CNPY2 was transcriptionally regulated by HIF-1α. The hypoxia-induced "Warburg effect" in cervical cancer cells was at least partially dependent on the CNPY2/AKT signaling pathway. Hypoxia-induced CNPY2 promoted glycolysis in cervical cancer cells by activating the AKT pathway. CNPY2 may serve as a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for cervical cancer patients.

The risk and impact of organophosphate esters on the development of female-specific cancers: Comparative analysis of patients with benign and malignant tumors. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 404:124020. [PMID: 33049558 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Revised: 09/09/2020] [Accepted: 09/11/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Environmental pollution has become a concern for public health. As endocrine disruptors, organophosphate esters (OPEs) causes many diseases via human exposure. However, there is limited research on the risk of OPE exposure to female-specific cancers. Blood measurements are biomarkers for chemical exposures by their definition. Thus, in the present study, 11 OPEs were analyzed in the plasma of patients with 4 female-specific tumors. 2-Ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPP) was detected at the highest levels in all groups. The Spearman correlation test results showed significantly positive correlations between some OPEs in each group, which indicated that those OPEs had similar sources and/or behaved similarly in the patients of each group. However, compared with different patient groups, obvious differences in the correlation results were noted, implying the differences in the metabolism of OPEs between different groups. The results of the correlation analysis showed that EHDPP concentration was associated with the risk of breast cancer (p < 0.05), while tri-n-butyl phosphate (TNBP), tris (methylphenyl) phosphate (TMPP), triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), and EHDPP concentrations were associated with the risk of cervical cancer (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). These findings indicated that OPEs were associated with the risk of breast and cervical cancer.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the fourth most common gynecological malignancies and has been identified as the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded sequences of noncoding RNAs that are approximately 22-24 nucleotides in length. They modulate posttranscriptional mRNA expression and play critical roles in cervical cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA genes may alter miRNA expression and maturation and have been associated with various cancers. This review mainly focuses on the roles of SNPs in miRNA genes in the development of cervical cancer and summarizes the research progress of miRNA SNPs in cervical cancer and their molecular regulation mechanisms.

Abstract
Background and Objective Globally, cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer affecting women. Although effective screening reduces its incidence, it remains one of the most serious cancers threatening the health of women. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find new genes that can be used as potential biomarkers for the prognosis of CC. Methods and Results After downloading three datasets such as GSE6791, GSE63678, and GSE63514 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), we combined the expression matrixes and analyzed them to obtain the differential expressed genes (DEGs). Next, using the STRING website, we performed the protein interaction network analysis. Subsequently, hub genes were screened using the R and Cytoscape software. Then, the expression difference and survival analyses of the hub genes were confirmed using GIPIA. Here, we established that the KNTC1 gene was correlated to the overall survival prognosis of CC. Besides, the expression of the KNTC1 gene in the GSE63514 dataset was significantly different from that of the normal cervix, cervical pre-cancerous lesions, and CC. Consequently, immunohistochemistry analysis showed that the results have a definite diagnostic value. Conclusion The KNTC1 gene could be linked with the pathophysiology of CC and maybe one of the early diagnostic markers for the diagnosis of cervical pre-cancerous lesions.

Structural and functional impacts of E5 genetic variants of human papillomavirus type 31. Virus Res 2020; 290:198143.

Abstract
Persistent infections caused by high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) are important, for the development of cervical lesions, but environmental and genetic factors are also related in the process of carcinogenesis. Among the genetic factors, the genetic variants of HR-HPV appear to be related to the risk of persistent infections. Therefore, the present study investigates variants of HPV31 E5 oncogene in cervical scraping samples from Brazilian women to assess their functional and structural effects, in order to identify possible repercussions of these variants on the infectious and carcinogenic process. Our results detected nucleotide changes previously described in the HPV31 E5 oncogene, which may play a critical role in the development of cancer due to its ability to promote cell proliferation and signal transmission. In our study, the interaction percentage of the 31E5 sequence generated by the Immune Epitope Server database and the Analysis Resource (IEDB) allowed us to include possible immunogenic epitopes with the MHC-I and MHC-II molecules, which may represent a possible relationship between protein suppression of the immune system. In the structural analysis of the HPV31 E5 oncoprotein, the N5D, I48 V, P56A, F80I and V64I polymorphisms can be found inserted within transmembrane regions. The P56A mutation has been predicted to be highly stabilizing and, therefore, can cause a change in protein function. Regarding the interaction of the E5 protein from HPV31 with the signaling of NF-kB pathway, we observed that in all variants of the E5 gene from HPV-31, the activity of the NF-kB pathway was increased compared to the prototype. Our study contributes to a more refined design of studies with the E5 gene from HPV31 and provides important data for a better understanding of how variants can be distinguished under their clinical consequences.

Abstract
Cervical carcinoma is the fourth leading cause of death among women worldwide. Epidemiological studies claim that human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a necessary condition for cervical cancer development. Knowledge of the geographic distribution of HPV is important in guiding the introduction of prophylactic vaccines. This study analyzed the prevalence of HPV infection in cervical samples obtained from women with abnormal cervical histopathological diagnosis in Northeast Brazil. The study included an analysis of 211 women whose diagnosis was confirmed for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia type 1 (CIN-1), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia type 2 (CIN-2), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia type 3 (CIN-3), and cancer. The identification of the HPV genotypes was based on the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. A total of 42.7% of the samples showed a single HPV infection, while 57.3% showed multiple infections. The most common genotypes detected were HPV-16, HPV-18, and HPV-31. HPV-16, HPV-31, HPV-35, and HPV-18 were the most common types in CIN-1 with a single infection. HPV-16 and HPV-18 were the most often found in CIN-2 with a single infection. HPV-16, HPV-18, and HPV-31 were the most detected in CIN-3 with a single infection. HPV-16 and HPV-31 were the most frequent in cancer with a single infection. Multiple infection with HPV-16 shows a 2.7 times greater risk of CIN-3 (P = .04). Multiple infections for HPV with HPV-16 and excluding the HPV18/31 types, were associated with CIN-3 (P = .01). The results allowed the detection and genotyping of HPV types circulating in the population studied. These findings must be taken into account when devising vaccination strategies against HPV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A domestic human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, Cecolin, that protects against HPV strains 16 and 18 was introduced to the Chinese market at a relatively low price in May 2020.This study has explored Chinese women's perceptions of both domestic and imported HPV vaccines, which differ in price and valency. METHODS Sentiment analysis and semantic network analyses were performed based on a sample of 45,729 domestic HPV vaccine-related posts from females on the Sina Weibo between April 17 and May 2, 2020. The geographic distribution was also analyzed based on the users' locations, which were retrieved from the database. RESULTS Most of the posts were positive and neutral (85%), although 15% were negative (e.g., expressions of anger, sadness, fear and disgust). Semantic analyses of the negative posts revealed that Chinese women generally had positive attitudes towards the HPV vaccine and were willing to be vaccinated. However, obvious geographical variations were identified. Women who lived in economically developed areas expressed a stronger desire to obtain imported quadrivalent or nonavalent vaccines due to concerns regarding effectiveness and quality. The women expressed disgust and anger mainly regarding difficulties in making an appointment, age restrictions for the nonavalent vaccine and gender restrictions. However, the population targeted by the domestic vaccine, namely women who lived in economically undeveloped areas and had relatively low incomes, had a low awareness of the HPV vaccine. CONCLUSION Government should provide programs, which educate females that bivalent HPV vaccine can offer protection against the majority of high-risk HPV types. Increasing awareness of the domestic vaccine among the population in economically undeveloped areas and provision of free domestic bivalent HPV vaccination/screening for low-income high-risk women would help to prevent cervical carcinoma. This issue also depends on rebuilding trust and repairing damage to the relationship between government/domestic vaccine manufacturers and the public.

Abstract
Objectives: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major cause of cervical cancer in women. The characteristics of HPV infection vary; therefore, it is necessary to identify the most common HPV genotypes among a group of subjects when introducing a vaccine program. Currently, in the Yanbian Autonomous Region, no HPV vaccinations are not provided, and no data has been reported regarding HPV rates or genotype prevalence. We aimed to find the most suitable HPV vaccine for this region and reasons why no vaccine has been introduced. Methods: HPV genotyping of 200 Korean-Chinese women living in the Yanbian Autonomous Region who visited the hospital for annual health examination was done. We also checked main factors necessary for HPV vaccine administrative system; (1) vaccine manufacturers in China, (2) vaccine importers, (3) vaccine suppliers, (4) applicable vaccine laws, (5) the HPV vaccine permit system in Jilin Province, and (6) vaccination hospital facilities-were assessed by direct inquiry and search. Results: The results showed that HPV genotypes 52, 58, 16, 53, and 33 were the most common among Korean-Chinese women. These results differed from those previously reported for Korean or Chinese women. All elements necessary for introduction of HPV vaccine were prepared, but there is no HPV vaccination plan based on epidemiological investigation. Conclusions: Gardasil® 9 should be the most suitable vaccine for Korean-Chinese women with HPV infection and cervical cancer in this region considering the prevalence of certain genotypes. Governments and medical institutions should take an active stance on HPV vaccination to lower the incidence of cervical cancer here. Our study may serve as an important reference for introducing a Chinese government program designed to prevent cervical cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of different human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes and their association with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles in China. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 16,168 married Chinese women in Maoming City of Guangdong province were tested for high-risk HPV infection. High-resolution typing of HLA-DRB1/DQB1 alleles was also performed on samples found to be infected with HPV. RESULTS All in all, HPV-52, -58, -16, -18, and -53 were the five most common subtypes of HPV, with an incidence of high-risk HPV infection of 7.14%. Among women at high-risk of HPV infection, -DRB1*0403 (3.12% vs. 1.67%, odds ratio [OR] 1.894), -DQB1*0602 (3.74% vs. 1.82%, OR 2.094), and -DQB1*0609 (2.02% vs. 0.91%, OR 2.249) frequencies were higher than in controls. In contrast, -DQB1*0402 (0.31% vs. 1.29%, OR 0.239) in women with high-risk HPV infection exhibited a significantly decreased frequency compared to the controls. CONCLUSION Our results strongly support previous findings from other populations that -DRB1*0403 and -DQB1*0602 may be risk factors for HPV infection and subsequent development of cervical cancer. Moreover, unlike the European population, -DQB1*0402 may protect rather than render Maoming women susceptible to HPV infection.

Abstract
Aberrant expression of lncRNAs has been seen as a key factor in a wide range of diseases including cancer. The role of lncRNAs in cervical cancer has not been clearly explained, and has been the subject of recent studies. In this review, we have compiled an updated list of previously reported lncRNAs and established a general profile of these transcripts in accordance with the role they play in cervical carcinogenesis. Thus, information here includes the influence of lncRNAs on cervical tumorigenic process through a disturbance of cellular activities. Additionally, we described recent discoveries about how HPV contributes to lncRNAs expression in cervical cancer and we summarized exploratory studies of strategies adopted to modulate the expression levels of lncRNAs to treat cervical neoplasia, by drawing attention to radio and chemo-resistance. Finally, this paper provides a broad overview that sets out new research directions about the role of lncRNAs in cervical cancer.

Abstract
Objective: Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are DNA viruses, of which over 120 types have been identified. The main screening methods for HPV-DNA include the hybrid capture II (HC-II) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. Liquid-based cytology (LBC) is a high-quality technique developed to improve the diagnostic reliability of traditional Papanicolaou tests (Pap tests). However, relatively few studies have compared the efficacy of PCR and HC-II assays using cervicovaginal LBC specimens. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis with results derived from the HC-II assay to assess whether a PCR-based assay using a novel carboxyfluorescein (FAM)-labeled primer could be applied to cervicovaginal LBC specimens. Methods and Results: We analyzed 59 specimens diagnosed as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) by Pap tests. After extracting DNA from cervicovaginal LBC specimens, we performed PCR using a FAM-labeled consensus primer, and then conducted fragment analysis to confirm the results. The value of the kappa statistic measuring the agreement between the PCR and HC-II results was 0.8557, or “almost perfect agreement.” Conclusion: Our novel HPV-PCR assay can be successfully applied to cervicovaginal LBC specimens for the detection of HPV subtypes.

Abstract
Persistent infections by high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) are a necessary condition, but not sufficient for cervical cancer development. Genetic variants of HR-HPV appear to be related to the risk of persistent infections. The study performed a functional evaluation of variants of the HPV-31 promoter region (LCR). For this, cloning and subcloning of variants HPV-31/UFPE-21 HPV-31/UFPE-89, HPV-31/UFPE-66, E2 gene and prototype HPV-31 were performed. Transfection with different concentrations of E2 was done and the concentration of 25 ng was determined to be ideal for LCR activation. HPV-31/UFPE-21 and HPV-31/UFPE-89 have a greater ability to alter Nluc reporter gene expression levels and HPV-31/UFPE-66 showed decreased levels of gene expression of Nluc reporter gene compared to control. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between the polymorphic LCR regions and the control (p < 0.0001). A more refined profile of variants of HPV-31 and its importance for the prognosis of cervical lesions begins to be drawn.

[PMID: 32684411 DOI: 10.1016/j.humimm.2020.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2020] [Revised: 06/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/05/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Proteasome subunit beta types 8 and 9 (PSMB8, PSMB9) play critical roles in the human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA I)-presenting system. Studies have suggested that polymorphisms in the PSMB8 and PSMB9 genes may influence the immune functions of PSMB8 and PSMB9, and thus be associated with various human cancers. We investigated associations involving single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2071543 in PSMB8, rs1351383, rs17587 and rs2127675 in PSMB9 and risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer in a Chinese Han population. A total of 543 patients with CIN, 1008 patients with cervical cancer, and 1120 healthy individuals were enrolled. Agena MassArray was used for SNP genotyping of PSMB8 and PSMB9. Associations involving these SNPs and risk of CIN and cervical cancer were analysed. Our results showed that the PSMB8 T/T and T/G genotypes of rs2071543 may be associated with a higher risk of CIN (P = 0.011, OR = 1.35,95% CI: 1.07-1.70) and cervical cancer (P = 0.006, OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.08-1.59). For rs17587, the A allele (P = 0.001, OR = 1.303, 95% CI: 1.115-1.522), and the A/A and A/G genotypes (P = 0.001, OR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.13-1.63) may be risk factors for cervical cancer. These results indicated that PSMB8 rs2071543 might influence susceptibility to CIN and cervical cancer, and PSMB9 rs17587 might influence cervical cancer susceptibility in a Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Cervical cancer induced by human papillomavirus (HPV) causes severe morbidity worldwide. Although cervical conization has been widely accepted as the most conventional surgery against cervical cancer, tissue defects and high recurrence rates have a significant negative impact on women's mental and physical health. Herein we developed an implantable, personalized cervical implant with drug release function using 3D printing technology. The cervical implant was designed in cone-shape with hieratical porous structures according to the clinical data, 3D-printed using polyurethane by low-temperature deposition manufacturing (LDM), and finished by lyophilization. Anti-HPV protein was loaded into the porous structure under negative pressure afterwards. Elastic biomedical polyurethane and the porous structure ensured that these cervical implants were equipped with tailored mechanical properties comparable to physiological cervix tissue. Cytotoxicity and cytocompatibility tests indicated that these 3D-printed cervical implants supported cell adhesion and growth. More importantly, the cervical implants with regulated pores could help to quantitatively control the loading and release of anti-HPV protein to inhibit dissociative viruses near the cervix validly. As a result, the 3D-printed cervical implants in the present study showed considerable potential for use as functional tissue implants against HPV infection after cervical conization.

Abstract
Because genetic variants in microRNAs (miRNAs) or their surrounding regions can alter miRNA processing, expression and final biological function, we investigated whether miRNA single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with cervical cancer (CC) susceptibility. Common miRNA SNPs (i.e. miR-146a rs2910164, miR-149 rs2292832, miR-196a2 rs11614913, miR-499 rs3746444, miR-605 rs2043556 and miR-618 rs2682818) were genotyped in the 954 patients and 1339 controls. The results showed that the miR-149 rs2292832 TC/CC genotypes were associated with a 21% increased risk of CC compared with the TT genotype [odds ratio (OR) = 1.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.00-1.47]. The association was more prominent among the subjects with age ≤ 48 years (OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.16-2.06), having history of abortion (OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.12-1.86), premenopausal status (OR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.08-1.85) and patients with clinical stage II of CC (OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.08-1.90). The expression plasmids containing the pre-miR-149 sequence with C allele of rs2292832 transcribed higher amount of mature miR-149-5p/3p than these with T allele in the HeLa and SiHa cells. Therefore, the rs2292832 polymorphism might influence CC susceptibility through modulation of the procession of pre-miR-149 to mature miRNAs.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of multiple type human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, and whether any types are involved in multiple HPV-type infections (mHPV) more or less frequently than expected. From January 2012 to February 2018, 2848 cervico-vaginal swabs were analysed in the UOC Microbiology and Virology of Policlinico of Bari, Italy. HPV DNA detection was performed using initially nested-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and subsequently multiplex real-time PCR assay. 1357/2848 samples (47.65%) were HPV DNA positive and 694/1357 (51.14%) showed mHPVs. The median number of mHPVs was 2 (interquartile range: 2–3). HPV-types more frequently detected were 42 (9.97%), 16 (8.92%), 53 (7.23%) and 31 (7.16%). Each detected HPV-type was involved in mHPVs in more than 50% of cases. Statistical analysis showed significant associations for all HPV-types except for 33, 43, 51, 58 and 82 HPV-types. The major number of significant pairwise associations were detected for the types 42 and 70. Only positive associations were detected. Further data are necessary to evaluate the clinical impact of the single combinations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNA showed potential regulating effects in oncogenesis. Highly expressed LncRNA LINC01783 is observed in cervical cancer. However, the specific pathogenesis of cervical cancer is still unclear. METHODS Differential lncRNAs in cervical cancer were identified based on TCGA dataset. Subsequently, qRT-PCR was utilized for testing the LINC01783 expression in cervical cancer cell lines and normal human cervical epithelial cell line HcerEpic. CCK-8, EdU, Wound healing assay, Transwell assay and flow cytometry were used for detecting proliferative and migratory potential, cell cycle and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells, respectively. To identify the potential target of LINC01783, bioinformatics assay and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay were performed. Moreover, to clarify their interactions and roles in regulating the progression of cervical cancer, Western blot assay and RIP assay were carried out. RESULTS Our results revealed LINC01783 is overexpressed in cervical cancer cells. Overexpressed LINC01783 considerably accelerated the cell proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells while restrained cell apoptosis of them. Moreover, LINC01783 positively regulated the GBP1 expression via competitively binding to miR-199b-5p. CONCLUSION LINC01783 is involved in the progression of cervical cancer through competitively binding to miR-199b-5p to mediate GBP1 expression.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is a commonly diagnosed cancer among females. Polymorphisms in pre-microRNAs have been demonstrated to play critical roles in cancer. However, the roles of pre-microRNA polymorphisms in the aetiology of cervical cancer have not been well documented. We genotyped eight pre-microRNA polymorphisms in 290 cervical cancer patients and 445 cancer-free female controls using quantitative polymerase chain reaction with TaqMan probes. To estimate the association between pre-microRNA polymorphisms and the risk of cervical cancer, an unconditional logistic regression model was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI), adjusting for age, menopause, delivery, and abortion. We found that the pre-miR-137 rs1625579 T > G polymorphism was associated with a significant decrease in cervical cancer risk (TG/GG versus TT: adjusted OR (AOR) = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.27-0.81; TG versus TT: AOR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.34-0.91). We also observed a significant association between the pre-miR-27a rs895819 T > C polymorphism and decreased cervical cancer risk (TC/CC versus TT: AOR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.44-0.96). Stratified analysis further demonstrated that the pre-miR-137 rs1625579 T > C and pre-miR-27a rs895819 T > C polymorphisms significantly reduced the risk of cervical cancer susceptibility in patients younger than 49 years, those who experienced fewer abortions, and clinical stage I patients. Moreover, the pre-miR-137 rs1625579 T > G polymorphism showed protective effects in premenopausal women, squamous cell carcinoma patients, and patients with unclassified types of pathologies; the pre-miR-27a rs895819 T > C polymorphism was also associated with a decreased risk in patients older than 49 years, menopausal women, and women who had experienced vaginal pregnancies. The pre-miR-137 rs1625579 T > G and pre-miR-27a rs895819 T > C polymorphisms may provide protective effects against susceptibility to cervical cancer risk.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) HOTAIR and MALAT1 are implicated in the development of multiple cancers. Genetic variants within HOTAIR and MALAT1 may affect the gene expression, thereby modifying genetic susceptibility to cervical cancer. A case-control study was designed, including 1 486 cervical cancer patients and 1 536 healthy controls. Based on RegulomeDB database, 11 SNPs were selected and genotyped by using Sequenom's Mass ARRAY. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). We found that the A allele of rs35643724 in HOTAIR was associated with increased risk of cervical cancer, while the C allele of rs1787666 in MALAT1 was associated with decreased risk. Compared to individuals with 0–1 unfavorable allele, those with 3–4 unfavorable alleles showed 18% increased odds of having cervical cancer. Our findings suggest that HOTAIR rs35643724 and MALAT1 rs1787666 might represent potential biomarkers for cervical cancer susceptibility.

Abstract
TNFAIP8L1 and FLT1 play critical roles in the occurrence and development of tumors, but no in-depth studies have been carried out in cervical cancer. The present study aims to research the correlation between polymorphisms of these two genes and the risk of cervical cancer in the Uygur women. The study involved 342 cervical cancer patients and 498 healthy women. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the TNFAIP8L1 gene and the FLT1 gene were selected and genotyped. Odds ratio and 95% CIs were calculated by logistic regression analysis to evaluate the correlation between SNPs and cervical cancer risk. The alleles rs9917028-A (P=0.032), rs10426502-A (P=0.007), and rs1060555-G (P=0.026) of TNFAIP8L1 were associated with a decreased risk of cervical cancer. In the multiple genetic models, these three SNPs were also associated with the risk of cervical cancer. The stratified analysis showed that TNFAIP8L1-rs10426502, -rs1060555, and FLT1-rs9513111 were associated with a decreased risk of cervical cancer amongst people older than 43 years. Moreover, the haplotypes AG (P=0.007) and GC (P=0.026) of linkage disequilibrium block rs10426502|rs1060555 in TNFAIP8L1 were significantly associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer. Our results suggested that the relationships between TNFAIP8L1 and FLT1 polymorphisms and the risk of cervical cancer amongst Uyghur females.

[PMID: 31315894 DOI: 10.1136/jclinpath-2019-205795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2019] [Revised: 06/24/2019] [Accepted: 06/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the presence of human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A), HHV-6B and HHV-7 in samples of the uterine cervix through detection of viral DNA. We analysed normal tissues, samples with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSILs) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs). We correlated the presence of HHV-6 and HHV-7 with the finding of human papillomavirus (HPV) in mucosal samples. METHODS Cervical samples were examined and grouped as follows: group 1 (n=29), normal cytology; group 2 (n=61), samples with LSIL; group 3 (n=35), samples with HSIL. Molecular biology examinations were performed in all samples to detect HHV-6, HHV-7 and HPV DNA and to typify HHV-6 species. RESULTS Group 1: normal cytology and HPV (-): HHV-6: 6.8% (2/29), HHV-7: 79.3% (23/29); group 2: LSIL and HPV (-): HHV-6: 93.1% (27/29), HHV-7: 96.5% (28/29); LSIL and HPV (+): HHV-6: 0% (0/32), HHV-7: 90.6% (29/32); group 3: HSIL and HPV (-): HHV-6: 20% (2/10), HHV-7: 70% (7/10); HSIL HPV (+): HHV-6: 12% (3/25), HHV-7: 68% (17/25). HHV-6A DNA was not detected in any samples. CONCLUSIONS (1) Both HHV-6 and HHV-7 infect the mucosal cells of the cervix with higher prevalence of HHV-7. (2) The higher prevalence of HHV-6 in LSIL HPV (-) samples compared with those with normal cytology indicates that it constitutes a possible risk factor for atypia production. (3) The presence of HHV-7 in all samples questions its role in the production of atypia. (4) The finding of HHV-6 and HHV-7 suggests that the cervical mucosa is a possible transmission pathway for these viruses.

Abstract
The development of cervical cancer is initiated by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and involves both viral and host genetic factors. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of cervical cancer have identified associations in the HLA locus and two loci outside HLA, but the principal genes that control infection and pathogenesis have not been identified. In the present study, we performed GWAS of cervical cancer in East Asian populations, involving 2609 cases and 4712 controls in the discovery stage and 1461 cases and 3295 controls in the follow-up stage. We identified novel-significant associations at 5q14 with the lead single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs59661306 (P = 2.4 × 10-11) and at 7p11 with the lead SNP rs7457728 (P = 1.2 × 10-8). In 5q14, the chromatin region of the GWAS-significant SNPs was found to be in contact with the promoter of the ARRDC3 (arrestin domain-containing 3) gene. In our functional studies, ARRDC3 knockdown in HeLa cells caused significant reductions in both cell growth and susceptibility to HPV16 pseudovirion infection, suggesting that ARRDC3 is involved in the infectious entry of HPV into the cell. Our study advances the understanding of host genes that are responsible for cervical cancer susceptibility and guides future research on HPV infection and cancer development.

[PMID: 31151412 PMCID: PMC6544959 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-019-5738-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2019] [Accepted: 05/21/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) has attracted wide concern for its critical role in the progression of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Several studies have demonstrated that CCR5 affects the processes of tumor cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. The aim of this study was to illustrate the association between the polymorphisms of the CCR5 promoter and the development of cervical cancer. Methods 336 women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), 488 women with cervical cancer (CC), and 682 healthy controls were recruited to detect polymorphisms in the CCR5 promoter using a sequencing method. Results Six loci with polymorphism were found in the CCR5 promoter; the frequencies of the minor alleles of rs1799987 was significantly higher in the CIN group than that in the control group (P = 0.007); and the genotypic frequencies of rs2734648, rs1799987, rs1799988 and rs1800023 were significantly different between the CIN group and the control group (P < 0.008). The inheritance model analysis showed that rs2734648, rs1799987, rs1799988 and rs1800023 significantly increased the susceptibility to CIN in a recessive genetic model (P < 0.008). The haplotype constructed by the major alleles of these 6 SNPs (rs2227010-rs1799987-rs1799988-rs2734648-rs1800023-rs1800024: A-G-A-C-A-T) was highly protective against CIN (OR = 0.731, 95%CI: 0.603–0.886, P = 5.68E-03). In addition, transcription prediction showed that mutation of these 6 SNPs might alternate the binding of particular transcription factors. Conclusion The CCR5 promoter polymorphisms were significantly associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia by altering the expression of CCR5 on the cell surface in a Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Section Title Abnormalities in the cervix, when identified early by Pap smear, can be treated in the early stages or in the precursor stages of the neoplasia, which may increase the chances of regression of the lesion. The aim to verify the rate of cervical abnormalities and to evaluate the risk of progression or regression associated with age and cytological diagnosis. Methods: The study was conducted in a referral hospital in Southern Brazil, based on the results of pathology and cytopathology laboratory tests of uterine cervix. The historical cohort included patients with an abnormal cytology diagnosis in the period from January 2010 to December 2014, followed until July 2016. Results: A total of 42,389 cervical smears were analyzed, 4,427 of which were eligible for analysis of the evolution of cervical abnormalities. In progression and regression events analysis, we observed that patients with a cytological diagnosis of atypical glandular cells presented a higher risk of cervical abnormality progression (Hazard Ratio: 2.0 and 95% confidence intervals 1.36–3.48). We also observed that patients younger than 25 years old were more likely to regress the cervical lesions (Hazard Ratio:1.4 and 95% confidence intervals 1.20–1.74). Conclusions: The associations found between the events (progression and regression), age and cytological diagnosis, highlights the importance of cytological screening in populations at risk of precursor of cervical cancer lesions, especially in women older than 25 years.

Methylation of p16 ink4a promoter is independent of human papillomavirus DNA physical state: a comparison between cervical pre-neoplastic and neoplastic samples. Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz 2018; 114:e180456. [PMID: 30569945 PMCID: PMC6319029 DOI: 10.1590/0074-02760180456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2018] [Accepted: 11/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epigenetic modifications in host cells, like p16 ink4a methylation, have been considered as putative complementary mechanisms for cancer development. Because only a small proportion of infected women develop cervical cancer, other factors might be involved in carcinogenesis, either independently or in association with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infections, including epigenetic factors. OBJECTIVES We hypothesised that p16 ink4a methylation might have a role in cancer development driven by HPV16, mainly in the presence of intact E1/E2 genes. Thus, our objectives were to assess the status of p16 ink4a methylation and the HPV16 E1/E2 integrity in samples in different stages of cervical diseases. METHODS Presence of HPV16 was determined by E6 type-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Methylation status of the p16 ink4a promoter was assessed by methylation-specific PCR in 87 cervical specimens comprising 29 low-grade (LSIL), 41 high-grade (HSIL) lesions, and 17 cervical cancers (CC). Characterisation of E1 and E2 disruption (as an indirect indicator of the presence of episomal viral DNA) was performed by PCR amplifications. FINDINGS We observed a significantly increased trend (nptrend = 0.0320) in the proportion of methylated p16 ink4a in cervical samples during cancer development. Concomitant E1 and E2 disruptions were the most frequent pattern found in all groups: CC (76%), HSIL (54%), and LSIL (73%). No statistically significant differences between p16 ink4a methylation and E1/E2 integrity, in histological groups, was observed. MAIN CONCLUSIONS There was an increase in methylation of the p16 ink4a promoter from pre-neoplastic lesions to cancer. Additionally, a high frequency of E1/E2 disruptions in LSIL/HSIL suggested that viral DNA integration was an early event in cervical disease. Moreover, the methylation status was apparently independent of HPV16 integrity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether cervical screening attendance differs between human papillomavirus (HPV)-vaccinated and unvaccinated women and to investigate potential underlying socioeconomic factors. DESIGN Prospective cohort using registry linkage of vaccinations, screening invitations, screening attendance and socioeconomic covariates. SETTING Swedish national HPV vaccination and cervical screening programmes. PARTICIPANTS All Swedish women born between 1988 and 1991 and invited to screening (n=261 434). OUTCOME MEASURES All participants were followed for up to 3 years. Screening attendance was compared between HPV-vaccinated and unvaccinated women. HR and 95% CI were estimated using Cox regression. RESULTS Vaccination age averaged 18.1 years and the coverage for≥1 dose was 13.5%. In HPV-vaccinated women (n=35 460), screening attendance was higher than in unvaccinated women (n=225 974) (74%vs69%, p<0.001). The crude HR of attendance in HPV-vaccinated women was 1.32 (95% CI 1.30 to 1.34). A positive association remained after adjustment for education, income and migration history (HR=1.10, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.12). CONCLUSION HPV-vaccinated women were more likely to attend screening than unvaccinated women. Yet, the question needs to be reassessed in routinely vaccinated cohorts, since the vaccinated women included here represent a selected group and may be prone to more health-conscious habits.
