Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are commonly used in biosensors of various kinds. However, its application to extract DNA from cancer tissues has not been extensively studied. The purification of DNA from cancer tissues is an important step in diagnostic and therapeutic development. Almost, all cervical cancer cases are associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection. Accurate viral diagnosis has so far relied on the extraction of adequate amounts of DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples. Till now, no specific and sensitive DNA purification method has been introduced for the extraction of HR-HPV from FFPE tissue. Since the commercially available purification kits are not sensitive and specific enough for HR-HPV DNA targets, in this study, a DNA purification method was designed based on AuNPs to purify sufficient amounts of HR-HPV DNA from cervical cancer tissue samples. AuNPs were coated with a series of oligonucleotide probes to hybridize to specific DNA sequences of HR-HPV genotypes. Results showed that 733 out of 800 copies of type-specific HPV DNA were recovered with complete specificity, compared to 36 copies with a standard commercial kit (Qiagen FFPE). The high yield of DNA (91.6%) is the main advantage of the AuNPs-probe purification method.

Abstract
To explore the significance of human papilloma virus type 52 (HPV52) infection and its integration in cells within cervical lesions, the expression levels of HPV52 were detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The copy numbers of HPV52 E2, HPV52 E6 and the reference gene β-actin were determined by quantitative PCR to analyze the association between HPV52 integration and cervical lesions. HPV52 integration was analyzed by the amplification of papillomavirus oncogene transcripts. A total of 13 samples from 468 cases were positive for HPV52. Among the samples, 1 case with an E2/E6 ratio >1 was purely episomal, 3 cases with an E2/E6 ratio of 0 were purely integrated, and 9 cases with an E2/E6 ratio of between 0 and 1 were a mixture of integrated and episomal. With the progression of cervical disease, the prevalence of the episomal type decreased gradually, and the prevalence of the integrated (episomal and integrated) forms increased. The pure integration of HPV52 occurred in chromosomes 2, 5 and 8. These results indicate that HPV52 integration into the host genome may be a key factor in cervical lesions. Thus, patients at high risk for cervical lesions may potentially be identified by screening for HPV52 infection and integration.

Abstract
Incidence and mortality rates of anal cancer are increasing globally. More than 90% of anal squamous cell carcinomas (ASCC) are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). Studies on HPV-related anogenital lesions have shown that patterns of methylation of viral and cellular DNA targets could potentially be developed as disease biomarkers. Lesion-specific DNA isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues from existing or prospective patient cohorts may constitute a valuable resource for methylation analysis. However, low concentrations of DNA make these samples technically challenging to analyse using existing methods. We therefore set out to develop a sensitive and reproducible nested PCR-pyrosequencing based method to accurately quantify methylation at 10 CpG sites within the E2BS1, E2BS2,3,4 and Sp1 binding sites in the viral upstream regulatory region of HPV16 genome. Methylation analyses using primary and nested PCR-pyrosequencing on 52 FFPE tissue [26 paired whole tissue sections (WTS) and laser capture microdissected (LCM) tissues] from patients with anal squamous intraepithelial lesions was performed. Using nested PCR, methylation results were obtained for the E2BS1, E2BS2,3,4 and Sp1 binding sites in 86.4% of the WTS and 81.8% of the LCM samples. Methylation patterns were strongly correlated within median values of matched pairs of WTS and LCM sections, but overall methylation was higher in LCM samples at different CpG sites. High grade lesions showed low methylation levels in the E2BS1 and E2BS2 regions, with increased methylation detected in the E2BS,3,4/Sp1 regions, showing the highest methylation at CpG site 37. The method developed is highly sensitive in samples with low amounts of DNA and demonstrated to be suitable for archival samples. Our data shows a possible role of specific methylation in the HPV16 URR for detection of HSIL.

Abstract
Viral load measurements may predict whether human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 infections may become persistent and eventually lead to cervical lesions. Today, multiple PCR methods exist to estimate viral load. We tested three protocols to investigate viral load as a predictor of HPV clearance. We measured viral load in 418 HPV16-positive cervical smears from 224 women participating in the Ludwig-McGill Cohort Study by low-stringency PCR (LS-PCR) using consensus L1 primers targeting over 40 known HPV types, and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) targeting the HPV16 E6 and L1 genes. HPV16 clearance was determined by MY09/11 and PGMY PCR testing on repeated smears collected over 5 years. Correlation between viral load measurements by qRT-PCR (E6 versus L1) was excellent (Spearman's rank correlation, ρ = 0.88), but decreased for L1 qRT-PCR versus LS-PCR (ρ = 0.61). Viral load by LS-PCR was higher for HPV16 and related types independently of other concurrent HPV infections. Median duration of infection was longer for smears with high copy number by all three PCR protocols (log rank P<0.05). Viral load is inversely related to HPV16 clearance independently of concurrent HPV infections and PCR protocol.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer among women worldwide, and adenocarcinoma is the most common histological subtype among non-smoking women. Previous studies showed that human papillomavirus (HPV) infection may relate to the tumorigenesis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Women with anogenital malignancy have a higher risk of lung cancer, which raises the possibility of HPV transmission from the cervix to the lung. Two postulated pathways are discussed in this work. First, HPV may infect the female cervix and then move to the lung by blood circulation. The second transmission route is the HPV infection of oral cavity resulting from dangerous sexual contacts, and subsequently transmitted to the lung. This chapter also reviews the techniques for detecting the existence, subtypes, and viral load of HPV. Future studies are needed to demonstrate the causal inference between HPV infection and the risk of female lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molecular diagnostics plays an important role in the diagnosis and clinical management of a wide array of infectious diseases. METHODS Advances in molecular technology and methods of detecting nucleic acid sequences have revolutionized the field of virology. These developments are reflected by the rapid diagnosis and monitoring of viral agents as well as assessment of clinical disease associated with viral infections. In addition to many commercially available molecular based assays, many laboratories offer in-house developed assays for a variety of viral targets. The introduction of real-time PCR technology has made a large impact on virology testing. CONCLUSIONS The role of real-time PCR for the diagnosis of viral infections is enhanced by the accuracy, rapidity and ability to quantitate viral target sequences.

Abstract
Testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) relies exclusively on techniques of molecular biology using nucleic acid probes. Tests for HPV using nucleic acid probes have been commercially available since the late 1980s, but early tests were cumbersome, involving the use of nucleic acid probes labeled with radioactive phosphorus (32P). These early HPV tests did not achieve widespread use because they did not detect all oncogenic HPV genotypes. The current commercial HPV detection kit, Digene's Hybrid Capture 2 kit, detects virtually all high-risk oncogenic HPV types, as well as most low-risk nononcogenic HPV genotypes. The Hybrid Capture 2 test format is a proprietary nucleic acid hybridization signal amplification system owned by Digene Corporation. Virtually all test formats for DNA sequence analysis are amenable to applications intended to detect and perhaps quantify the various HPV genotypes. These methods can involve direct hybridization with complementary DNA probes, such as Southern blotting or in situ hybridization, signal amplification, such as the Hybrid Capture 2 method or target nucleic acid amplification, most notably the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Polymerase chain reaction has been used for HPV detection, genotyping, and viral load determination. General or consensus primer-mediated PCR assays have enabled screening for a broad spectrum of HPV types in clinical specimens using a single PCR reaction. Following amplification using consensus primers, individual HPV genotypes are identified using a variety of methods. Using consensus primers in a test format known as real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR), it is possible to generate viral load (concentration) data from reaction curves generated by monitoring PCR reaction kinetics in real time.

Abstract
We have previously shown that women with a high titer of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) in cervical epithelial cells have an increased risk of developing cervical carcinoma in situ. In order to study the relationship between viral DNA amount and risk of cervical carcinoma for the HPV types most commonly found in cervical tumors, we developed a real-time PCR assay for the detection and quantification of HPV16, -18, -31, -33, -35, -39, -45, -52, -58, and -67. These HPV types are analyzed in two reaction tubes, allowing for independent quantification of three viral types, or groups of viral types, in each reaction. A separate reaction is used for estimating the number of a nuclear single-copy gene and is used to calculate the HPV copy number per genomic DNA equivalent in the sample. The system has a dynamic range from 10(2) to 10(7) HPV copies per assay and is applicable to both fresh clinical samples and DNA extracted from archival samples. Reconstitution experiments, made to mimic infections with several HPV types, shows that individual HPV types can be detected in a mixture as long as they represent 1 to 10% of the main type. The system was evaluated with respect to technical specificity and sensitivity, reproducibility, reagent stability, and sample preparation protocol and then used to analyze clinical samples. This homogeneous assay provides a fast and sensitive way for estimating the viral load of a series of the most frequent oncogenic HPV types in biopsies, as well as cervical smear samples.

Abstract
The relation between human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV 16) viral load in cervical scrapes and development of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN II or III) was studied in a nested case-control study of women with normal cytology (group A) and in a cohort of women with abnormal cytology (group B). HPV 16 DNA load was determined using a quantitative real-time PCR assay. In group A, case women (women with CIN II/III, n = 12) had a significantly higher viral load than control women (women with CIN < or = I, n = 47). This resulted in an increased relative risk of women with the 50% highest viral load for development of CIN II/III (OR 7.7; CI 1.6-33). In group B, women with CIN II/III (n = 38) had a significantly higher viral load than women with CIN < or = I (n = 25). Women with the 50% highest viral load had an increased relative risk of CIN II/III (OR 3.2; CI 1.1-9.3) and a decreased chance of both viral clearance and cytologic regression. Our data suggest that in women with normal cytology an increased HPV 16 load confers an increased risk of developing a CIN lesion. A sustained high viral load is subsequently informative for progression to a high-grade CIN lesion.

Abstract
The biological importance of a group of human papillomaviruses, known as high-risk human papillomaviruses, as the key causal agent for almost all cervical cancer has now been established. Many aspects of the natural history of high-risk human papillomaviruses as sexually transmitted infections and as oncogenic agents have been researched. Although human papillomavirus diagnosis is largely confined to DNA detection techniques in cervical smears, there is accumulating evidence that the best polymerase chain reaction and hybrid capture techniques are more sensitive and probably of similar specificity compared with cervical cytology as a triage test for women with borderline smear abnormalities and for screening older women. This is strong presumptive evidence that high-risk human papillomavirus testing could be useful in cervical screening. Current research is aimed at establishing a place for high-risk human papillomavirus testing in routine screening practice. Randomised clinical trials, long-term natural history studies, mathematical modelling, and economic and psychosocial studies are being used to demonstrate whether this testing can improve both the effectiveness and efficiency of cervical screening in a range of situations.

Abstract
The efficacy of four methods to recover DNA from Papanicolaou (Pap)-stained archival cervical smears for optimal detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA by GP5+/bioGP6+ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was investigated. Two of the methods were based on proteinase K treatment and two based on treatment with guanidinium thiocyanate (GTC). The quality of the DNA as measured by PCR assays amplifying different sizes of the beta-globin gene appeared to be superior for the GTC-based assays. Using competitive beta-globin PCR assays, one of the GTC-based, assays, provisionally named High Pure PCR Template Preparation (HPPTP) assay, yielded by far the highest quantity of amplifiable DNA. It allowed the recovery of 2.2 x 10(5) to 3 x 10(5) genome equivalents in smears containing 5 x 10(5) to 20 x 10(5) nucleated cells, indicating a mean efficiency of 26% (range of 15-44%). In contrast, the other methods revealed markedly lower efficiencies varying from 1% to 10%. The use of the HPPTP assay as a reliable processing procedure was validated by demonstrating a complete agreement in HPV detection and 93% agreement in HPV typing between 39 archival Pap-stained and paired fresh-frozen cervical smears. This method was applied to 40 archival smears from ten cervical cancer patients (selected from a group of 200 patients) which had a history of 3-6 smears with the first smear being Pap 1 or 2 taken at least 5 years before cancer was diagnosed. The average time period between the first Pap 1/2 smear that contained the same HPV type as in the corresponding carcinoma and diagnosis of cervical cancer was 12.0 +/- 2.9 years. All subsequent smears were invariably positive for the same HPV type which was also found in the cervical cancer biopsy. In conclusion, the HPPTP assay provides a reliable and efficient means to extract DNA from Pap-stained archival cervical smears for the detection of HPV DNA by PCR and would be the method of choice for future HPV analysis of archival Pap-stained cervical smears.
