Abstract
Introduction Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among female worldwide. Early detection and intervention are essential. This study aims to construct an early predictive warning model for cervical cancer and precancerous lesions utilizing clinical data and simple nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Methods Clinical data and germline SNPs were collected from 472 participants. Univariate logistic regression, least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO), and stepwise regression were performed to screen variables. Logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost) and neural network(NN) were applied to establish models. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the models' efficiencies. The performance of models was validated using decision curve analysis (DCA). Results The LR model, which included 6 SNPs and 2 clinical variables as independent risk factors for cervical carcinogenesis, was ultimately chosen as the most optimal model. The DCA showed that the LR model had a good clinical application. Discussion The predictive model effectively foresees cervical cancer risk using clinical and SNP data, aiding in planning timely interventions. It provides a transparent tool for refining clinical decisions in cervical cancer management.

Abstract
Approximately 95% of cervical cancer are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Although it is estimated that HPV-associated cervical cancer will decrease with the widespread use of HPV vaccine, it may take time for HPV-associated cervical cancer to be eliminated. For the appropriate management of HPV-associated cervical cancer, it is important to understand the detailed mechanisms of cervical cancer development. First, the cellular origin of most cervical cancers is thought to be cells in the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) of the uterine cervix. Therefore, it is important to understand the characteristics of SCJ for cervical cancer screening and treatment. Second, cervical cancer is caused by high risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection, however, the manner of progression to cervical cancer differs depending on the type of HR-HPV: HPV16 is characterized by a stepwise carcinogenesis, HPV18 is difficult to detect in precancerous lesions, and HPV52, 58 tends to remain in the state of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Third, in addition to the type of HPV, the involvement of the human immune response is also important in the progression and regression of cervical cancer. In this review, we demonstrate the carcinogenesis mechanism of HPV-associated cervical cancer, management of CIN, and the current treatment of CIN and cervical cancer.

[PMID: 34505756 DOI: 10.1111/tan.14429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Revised: 09/02/2021] [Accepted: 09/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a necessary cause for cervical cancer (CC), but it also depends on genetic factors, such as HLA polymorphism. However, few reports addressed the role of amino acids residues at the HLA peptide-binding cleft in HPV-related cervical disease. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between HLA-B, HLA-C, and HLA-DRB1 polymorphism and amino acid residues composing the pockets of the peptide-binding cleft of the respective polypeptide chains with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN II/III). HLA typing was performed by PCR-SSOP in 184 women with CIN II/III and 174 controls from South Brazil. Associations were estimated by multivariate logistic regression. FDR test was performed to correct the p-value for multiple comparisons. HLA-DRB1*13:01 was associated with protection against CIN II/III, while HLA-C*03:04 was associated with susceptibility. The amino acid residues isoleucine, tyrosine, and leucine at positions 95, 116, and 163 of HLA-C, respectively, were associated with CIN II/III susceptibility. In contrast, serine at positions 11 and 13 of HLA-DRB1 was associated with protection against the disease. Our results confirm previously reported associations between HLA and cervical diseases caused by HPV and suggest a role for amino acid residues at different positions of HLA-C and HLA-DRB1 in CIN II/III. This finding may be further explored to better understand the genetic risk and the influence of immune response to CC development.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Understanding the genetic contribution of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region to the risk of cervical cancer (CC) will help understand how immune responses to infection with human papillomaviruses are associated with CC. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the HLA-B*52:01 allele is associated with CC in Japanese women. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This was a multicenter genetic association study. Genotype and phenotype data were obtained from BioBank Japan Project. Additional patients with CC were enrolled from the Aichi Cancer Center Research Institute. An MHC fine-mapping study was conducted on CC risk in the Japanese population by applying a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) imputation method to the large-scale CC genome-wide association study data of using the Japanese population-specific HLA reference panel. Participants included 540 women in BioBank Japan Project with CC or 39 829 women without gynecologic diseases, malignant neoplasms, and MHC-related diseases as controls. An additional 168 patients with CC were recruited from Aichi Cancer Center Research Institute. Histopathological subtypes and clinical stages were not considered. Participants with low genotype call rate, closely related participants, and outliers in the principal component analysis were excluded. Data analysis was performed from August 2018 to January 2020. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Loci within the MHC region associated with CC risk, and the direction and size of association. RESULTS A total of 704 CC cases and 39 556 controls were analyzed. All participants were Japanese women with a median (range) age of 67 (18 to 100) years. One of the class I HLA alleles of HLA-B*52:01 was significantly associated with CC risk (odds ratio, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.38-1.86; P = 7.4 × 10-10). Allele frequency spectra of HLA-B*52:01 are heterogeneous among worldwide populations with high frequency in Japanese populations (0.109 in controls), suggesting its population-specific risk associated with CC. The conditional analysis suggested that HLA-B*52:01 could explain most of the MHC risk associated with CC because no other HLA alleles remained significant after conditioning on the HLA-B*52:01. The HLA amino acid residue-based analysis suggested that HLA-B p.Tyr171His located in the peptide-binding groove was associated with the most significant CC risk (odds ratio, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.30-1.66; P = 1.2 × 10-9). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The results of this study contribute to understanding of the genetic background of CC. The results suggest that immune responses mediated by class I HLA molecules are associated with susceptibility to CC.

Abstract
In this study, associations between invasive cervical cancer and four cervical cancer susceptibility loci (rs13117307 at 4q12, rs8067378 at 17q12, and rs4282438 and rs9277952 at 6p21.32) in the Han Chinese population were investigated in a Japanese population. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DPB1 alleles were also investigated for their association with cervical cancer risk in the Japanese population. After receiving written informed consent, 214 unrelated Japanese women with invasive cervical cancer and 288 cancer-free Japanese women were recruited, and DNA samples were obtained (study protocol approved by Institutional Review Board of Nagasaki University). Of the four single-nucleotide polymorphisms, rs8067378 showed a significant association with invasive cervical cancer (P=0.0071). Under a recessive model, the minor allele G of rs8067378 contributed to the risk of invasive cervical cancer (odds ratio=2.92, 95% confidence interval=1.40-6.36; P=0.0021). No association was detected between HLA-DPB1 alleles and cervical cancer risk in the Japanese population. In conclusion, we show for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, that an association between increased risk of invasive cervical cancer and rs8067378 in the Han Chinese population is replicated in a Japanese population. In addition, Japanese women with the GG genotype of rs8067378 are a candidate high-risk group for invasive cervical carcinoma.

Serine/threonine kinases 31(STK31) may be a novel cellular target gene for the HPV16 oncogene E7 with potential as a DNA hypomethylation biomarker in cervical cancer. Virol J 2016; 13:60. [PMID: 27044426 PMCID: PMC4820863 DOI: 10.1186/s12985-016-0515-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2015] [Accepted: 03/24/2016] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Cervical cancer (CC) is a leading cause of mortality in females, especially in developing countries. The two viral oncoproteins E6 and E7 mediate the oncogenic activities of high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV), and hrHPV, especially HPV16 or/and HPV18 (HPV16/18) play critical roles in CC through different pathways. STK31 gene of which the expression has been proven to be regulated by the methylation status of its promoter, is one of the novel cancer/testis (CT) genes and plays important roles in human cancers. Reasearches have indicated that viral infection is correlated to the methylation statuses of some genes. Herein, we detected methylation status of the STK31 gene in cervical tumors and explored its interaction with HPV16 or/and HPV18 (HPV16/18) infection. Methods Bisulfite genomic sequencing PCR (BGS) combined with TA clone, methylation-specific PCR (MSP) were used to analyze methylation statuses of the STK31 gene promoter/exon 1 region in HPV16/18-positive, HPV-negative CC cell lines; ectopically expressed HPV16 E6, -E7, and -E6/E7 CC cells; normal cervical tissues and cervical tumor tissues of different stages. The mRNA and protein expressions of STK31 were detected by RT-PCR and western blotting. Results The STK31 gene promoter/exon 1 was hypomethylated in the HPV16/18-positive cell lines HeLa, SiHa and CaSki, and the mRNA and protein expression were detected. In contrast, the STK31 gene exhibited hypermethylation and silenced expression in the HPV-negative CC cells C33A and HT-3. Compared with the primary HPV-negative CC cell lines, the STK31 methylation was downregulated, and STK31 expression was induced in the HPV16E7/E67 transfected cells. The methylation statuses and expressions of STK31 were verified in the cervical tumor samples at different stages. Additionally, chemotherapy treatment may influence STK31 expression by regulating its methylation status. Conclusions STK31 may be a novel cellular target gene for the HPV16 oncogeneE7. The HPV16 oncogene E7 may affect STK31 expression through a methylation-mediated mechanism. The aberrant methylation of the STK31 promoter/exon 1 region may be a precursor of human cervical carcinogenesis and a potential DNA aberrant methylation biomarker of conditions ranging from precancerous disease to invasive cancer.

Abstract
We investigated the role of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles in multistage cervical carcinogenesis. Cross-sectional analysis for HLA association with cervical cancer included 1253 Japanese women: normal cytology (NL, n = 341), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1, n = 505), CIN grade 2 or 3 (CIN2/3, n = 96), or invasive cervical cancer (ICC, n = 311). The HLA class II allele frequencies were compared by Fisher's exact test or the χ(2) -test. The Bonferroni adjustment corrected for multiple comparisons. Among the study subjects, 454 women with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion cytology were prospectively monitored by cytology and colposcopy every 3-4 months to analyze cumulative risk of CIN3 within the next 10 years in relation to HLA class II alleles. HLA class II DRB1*1302 allele frequency was similar between women with NL (11.7%) and CIN1 (11.9%), but significantly decreased to 5.2% for CIN2/3 and 5.8% for ICC (P = 0.0003). Correction for multiple testing did not change this finding. In women with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion cytology, the cumulative risk of CIN3 diagnosed within 10 years was significantly reduced among DRB1*1302-positive women (3.2% vs. 23.7%, P = 0.03). In conclusion, the two different types of analysis in this single study showed the protective effect of the DRB1*1302 allele against progression from CIN1 to CIN2/3.

Abstract
The natural history of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is largely unpredictable and current histopathological examination is unable to differentiate between lesions that will regress and those that will not. Therefore, most high-grade lesions are currently treated by surgical excision, leading to overtreatment and unnecessary complications. Prognostic biomarkers may differentiate between lesions that will regress and those that will not, making individualized treatment of high-grade CIN possible. This review identifies several promising prognostic biomarkers. These biomarkers include viral genotype and viral DNA methylation (viral factors), human leukocyte antigen-subtypes, markers of lymphoproliferative response, telomerase amplification and human papillomavirus-induced epigenetic effects (host factors) and Ki-67, p53 and pRb (cellular factors). All identified biomarkers were evaluated according to their role in the natural history of high-grade CIN and according to established criteria for evaluation of biomarkers (prospective-specimen-collection, retrospective-blinded-evaluation [PROBE] criteria). None of the biomarkers meets the PROBE criteria for clinical applicability and more research on prognostic biomarkers in high-grade CIN is necessary.

Single human papillomavirus 16 or 52 infection and later cytological findings in Japanese women with NILM or ASC-US. J Hum Genet 2014; 59:251-5.

Abstract
The relationship between oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and later cytological findings in the uterine cervix is unknown in women who were negative for intraepithelial lesion and malignancy (NILM) or atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US). This was investigated in this study in a Japanese population to determine the clinical utility of oncogenic (HPV) genotyping. The relative risk of progressive cytological findings 2 years after identification of oncogenic HPV infection was higher than in cases of non-oncogenic HPV infection (relative risk 3.827; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.282-11.422), as well as in cases of negative HPV infection (relative risk 2.124; 95% CI: 1.451-3.110). Moreover, the relative risk of progression of cytological findings 2 years later in cases of HPV-16 infection was higher than in cases of HPV-52 infection (relative risk 2.094; 95% CI: 1.005-3.935). Therefore, the initial HPV-DNA genotype may be a potential predictive marker of later progression of cytological findings in the uterine cervix in cases of NILM or ASC-US.

The association of the immune response genes to human papillomavirus-related cervical disease in a Brazilian population. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2013; 2013:146079. [PMID: 23936772 PMCID: PMC3722781 DOI: 10.1155/2013/146079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2013] [Revised: 06/05/2013] [Accepted: 06/15/2013] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The genetic variability of the host contributes to the risk of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cervical disease. Immune response genes to HPV must be investigated to define patients with the highest risk of developing malignant disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of polymorphic immune response genes, namely KIR, HLA class I and II, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of cytokines with HPV-related cervical disease. We selected 79 non-related, admixed Brazilian women from the state of Paraná, southern region of Brazil, who were infected with high carcinogenic risk HPV and present cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3), and 150 HPV-negative women from the same region matched for ethnicity. KIR genes were genotyped using an in-house PCR-SSP. HLA alleles were typed using a reverse sequence-specific oligonucleotide technique. SNPs of TNF −308G>A, IL6 −174G>C, IFNG +874T>A, TGFB1 +869T>C +915G>C, and IL10 −592C>A −819C>T −1082G>A were evaluated using PCR-SSP. The KIR genes were not associated with HPV, although some pairs of i(inhibitory)KIR-ligands occurred more frequently in patients, supporting a role for NK in detrimental chronic inflammatory and carcinogenesis. Some HLA haplotypes were associated with HPV. The associations of INFG and IL10 SNPs potentially reflect impaired or invalid responses in advanced lesions.

Copy number variation of the antimicrobial-gene, defensin beta 4, is associated with susceptibility to cervical cancer. J Hum Genet 2013; 58:250-3.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate association between copy number variation of the defensin beta 4 gene (DEFB4) and susceptibility to cervical cancer in a population at high risk of persistent oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The study subjects comprised 204 women with cervical cancer, a population having a high risk of persistent oncogenic HPV infection (cervical cancer group), and 200 healthy women from the general population (control group). Copy number variation of DEFB4 in each test sample was determined by relative quantitation using the comparative CT ((ΔΔ)CT) method. Differences between the two groups were evaluated. The median DEFB4 copy number in the cervical cancer group was four and in the control group was five (P=2.77e-4, t-test). The odds ratio of cervical cancer in individuals with four DEFB4 copies or less was higher (odds ratio 2.02; 95% confidence interval odds ratio 1.36-3.02), compared with that in individuals with five or more copies (odds ratio 0.49; 95% confidence interval odds ratio 0.33-0.74). We found copy number variation of DEFB4 was a host genetic factor conferring susceptibility to cervical cancer. A lower DEFB4 copy number was associated with susceptibility to cervical cancer.

Abstract
Infection with a high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is established as a major risk factor for cervical cancer. In Japan, eight HPV genotypes (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 45, 52 and 58) confer a much higher risk of cervical cancer and its immediate premalignant lesions (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 [CIN 3]) than do other high-risk and the low-risk HPV types. However, only a small fraction of infected women develop CIN 3 or invasive cervical cancer, suggesting the involvement of additional cofactors in cervical carcinogenesis. A multicenter prospective cohort study of Japanese women with low-grade cervical abnormalities has demonstrated that tobacco smoking is significantly associated with an increased risk of persistent low-grade cervical lesions, while the presence of human leukocyte antigen Class II DRB1*1302 protects against progression to CIN 3. Understanding the epidemiology of HPV infections and cervical cancer may improve prevention and lead to novel clinical management strategies for cervical precursor lesions. Viral and host factors that affect the risk of cervical cancer are discussed in this review.
