Abstract
Tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) are a group of toxic substances specific to tobacco. 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL) is a tobacco-specific nitrosamine measurable in urine with a much longer half-life than cotinine. We aimed to examine the association between urinary tobacco-specific NNAL and HPV infection among American women. We used cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2007 and 2014 to collect details on their urinary NNAL, HPV infection status, and other essential variables. The association between dietary urinary NNAL and HPV infection status was analyzed by using a weighted multivariate logistic regression model, and stratified subgroup analysis. In total, 5197 participants aged 18-59 years were identified, with overall prevalence of high-risk and low-risk HPV infection of 22.0% and 19.1%, respectively. The highest quartile of NNAL(Q4) was more positively associated with low-risk HPV infection than the lowest quartile of NNAL(Q1) (OR = 1.83 (1.35,2.50), p<0.001). the highest quartile of NNAL(Q4) was more positively associated with high-risk HPV infection than the lowest quartile of NNAL(Q1) (OR = 2.20 (1.57,3.08), p < 0.001). In subgroup analyses, the positive correlation between urinary NNAL levels and low-risk HPV infection status was inconsistent in marital status and BMI (interaction p < 0.05). The positive association of urinary NNAL levels with high-risk HPV infection status was inconsistent in smoking and BMI. (interaction p < 0.05). Tobacco-specific NNAL levels positively correlate with high- and low-risk HPV. Future well-designed longitudinal studies are still needed to validate the effect of tobacco exposure on HPV infection by NNAL.

Abstract
Nicotine is a known toxin, but its relationship with cervicovaginal high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection is uncertain. This study aimed to investigate whether tobacco exposure is associated with elevated cervicovaginal HR-HPV infection in US women, and if the strength of this association varies with the degree of exposure. Cross-sectional data from the 2011-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which included a nationally representative sample of US women, were used for the study. Out of 12436 women aged 18-59 who participated in the interview, 3833 were ultimately enrolled in this study. Weighted logistic regression was used to estimate the link between tobacco exposure and cervicovaginal HR-HPV infection. The mean age of participants was 38.6 (SD 12.1) years, and non-Hispanic White individuals accounted for 37.3% of the sample. Those with any tobacco exposure tended to be younger (mean age 37.7 [SD 12.4] years vs 40.3 [11.2] years), non-Hispanic Black (27.8% vs. 15.1%), lower educated (41.8% vs. 29.4%), and have lower family income (39.9% vs. 23.5%). After adjustment, the odds of having HR-HPV infection were 1.32 (95% CI, 1.09-1.59) for those exposed to tobacco, remaining significant in multiple sensitivity analyses and across subgroups. This study, based on a nationally representative sample from the United States, suggests that tobacco exposure is a risk factor for elevated HR-HPV infection in women, highlighting the need for further research into reducing this modifiable risk factor.

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2022; 31:1546-1553. [PMID: 35653709 PMCID: PMC9350906 DOI: 10.1158/1055-9965.epi-21-1373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies show an association between smoking and anal cancer. The objective of this study was to assess the association between smoking and anal HPV (human papillomavirus) prevalence, incidence, and persistence in men. METHODS The HPV Infection in Men (HIM) Study is a multinational study that enrolled HIV-negative men. At baseline and follow-up visits, anal specimens were collected. HPV genotyping was assessed by linear array. Prevalence ratios (PR) were used to assess the association between smoking and anal HPV prevalence. Odds ratios (OR) were used to assess the association between smoking and anal HPV incidence and ≥12-months persistence. RESULTS Current smokers have a higher prevalence [adjusted PR (aPR), 1.36; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06-1.73) and incidence [adjusted OR (aOR), 1.74; 95% CI, 1.26-2.39] and ≥12-months persistence (aOR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.19-2.33) of any anal HPV compared with never smokers. There were no differences in the prevalence, incidence, or persistence of anal HPV between former and never smokers. Smoking status was not associated with the prevalence or persistence of anal HPV among men who have sex with men but was associated with higher incidence of HR-HPV. Among men that have sex with women (MSW), current smokers had an increased prevalence and incidence of LR-HPV compared with never smokers. CONCLUSIONS Current smokers had a higher prevalence, persistence, and incidence of HPV compared with never smokers. Further research is needed to assess the role smoking in anal HPV persistence and progression to disease. IMPACT Prevention initiatives should raise awareness about smoking and the risk factor of anal HPV infection and anal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Etiologically, oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) can be divided into OPSCC caused by noxious agents and human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven carcinoma. These types differ with regard to clinical features and prognosis-differences which are rooted in the underlying molecular biology of the tumor. OBJECTIVE The aim of this work is to provide an overview of the molecular biological characteristics of the genetics, epigenetics, and immunology of OPSCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature review was performed on a selection of genetic, epigenetic, and immunological factors characterizing OPSCC. RESULTS The understanding of genetic aberrations and their consequences for cancerogenesis and tumor biology is increasing. Epigenetic phenomena are complementing functional relationships. However, epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation are complex and much research is still required in this field. Immunological aspects of cancer molecular biology have moved into the focus in light of recent advances in the field of immunotherapy. CONCLUSION The tumor biology of OPSCC is primarily defined by its HPV status. Additionally, HPV-independent genetic, epigenetic, and immunological signatures are being defined. From these advances, rationales for new treatment concepts may evolve.

Chrysotile fibers in tissue adjacent to laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma in cases with a history of occupational asbestos exposure. Mod Pathol 2020; 33:228-234.

Abstract
Asbestos describes a group of naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral compounds that have been associated with a number of respiratory maladies, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. In addition, based primarily on epidemiologic studies, asbestos has been implicated as a risk factor for laryngeal and pharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The main objective of this work was to strengthen existing evidence via empirical demonstration of persistent asbestos fibers embedded in the tissue surrounding laryngeal and pharyngeal SCC, thus providing a more definitive biological link between exposure and disease. Six human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative laryngeal (n = 4) and pharyngeal (n = 2) SCC cases with a history working in an asbestos-exposed occupation were selected from a large population-based case-control study of head and neck cancer. A laryngeal SCC case with no history of occupational asbestos exposure was included as a control. Tissue cores were obtained from adjacent nonneoplastic tissue in tumor blocks from the initial primary tumor resection, and mineral fiber analysis was performed using a scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDXA). Chrysotile asbestos fiber bundles were identified in 3/6 of evaluated cases with a history of occupational asbestos exposure. All three cases had tumors originating in the larynx. In addition, a wollastonite fiber of unclear significance was identified one of the HPV-negative pharyngeal SCC cases. No mineral fibers were identified in adjacent tissue of the case without occupational exposure. The presence of asbestos fibers in the epithelial tissue surrounding laryngeal SCC in cases with a history of occupational asbestos exposure adds a key line of physical evidence implicating asbestos as an etiologic factor.

Abstract
Background Although tobacco smoke has been associated with many infections, little is known of its association with human papillomavirus (HPV) infections among young adult women. The aim of the study was to explore the association of tobacco smoke exposure on HPV infections in young adult women in the United States. It was hypothesized that tobacco smoke exposure (both active and passive) as objectively measured by cotinine levels was associated with increased HPV infection in a national sample of 18 and 26 year-old women in the United States. Study methods and findings The NHANES 2007–2012 dataset was used in the analyses. A national representative sample of women 18 to 26 year old (N = 1,414) was included in the study. Infection with any HPV was determined by PCR while tobacco smoke exposure was determined by measuring serum cotinine levels. Women with cotinine levels <0.05 ng/mL were considered unexposed and those with levels > = 0.05 were considered as exposed. Exposed women were further categorized as passive smokers (cotinine levels 0.05-<10 ng/mL, while active smokers were those with cotinine levels = > 10ng/mL). Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression analysis. Exposed women (passive smokers with cotinine levels > = 0.05ng/mL-10ng/mL) were almost 2 times (64% vs 35%) more likely to be infected with any HPV type than their unexposed counterparts (cotinine levels <0.05ng/mL). Also women who were active smokers (cotinine levels > = 10 ng/mL) were more than twice more likely (75%) to be infected with the virus than the unexposed counterparts. The relationship held true even after controlling for various socio-demographics. Indeed in the multiple regression analyses controlling for the various confounders, compared to their unexposed counterparts, women exposed to second hand smoke were more than twice more likely to have HPV infections (OR: 2.45; 95% C.I = 1.34–4.48). When compared to their unexposed counterparts, actively smoking women were more than 3.5 times more likely to be infected with HPV (OR = 3.56; 95% CI 1.23–10.30). Finally, a strong dose-response relationship was further demonstrated with increasing risk of HPV with each quartile of cotinine levels even after controlling for various confounders. The risk of HPV was lowest in the lowest quartile (Referent OR = 1) and increased steadily with each quartile of cotinine levels until the risk was highest among women with cotinine levels in the 4th quartile (OR = 4.16; 95% C.I. = 1.36–12.67). Conclusion Both passive and active tobacco smoking were strongly associated with any HPV infection in 18 to 26 year old young women with a significant dose-response relationship. Future studies should explore the effect of tobacco smoke exposure among younger women less than 18 years of age.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Men who have sex with men (MSM) are a highly neglected population in the current recommendation of girls-only human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programmes in many countries. To better assess the cost effectiveness of HPV vaccination among men requires data on the prevalence of HPV infection in MSM using a community sample, which is still sparse in several regions. We examined the prevalence of and factors associated with anogenital HPV infection among MSM in Taiwan. METHODS MSM 20 years of age and older were recruited from the community and social media in Taiwan in 2015-2016 and screened for HPV infection to detect 37 genotypes. MSM were seen at baseline and were/will be seen at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months. Men completed a questionnaire regarding their sexual experiences. Multivariable regression analyses were conducted to identify associated behavioural risk factors using the baseline data. RESULTS A total of 253 MSM were recruited; 87 % were below 35 years of age. Diagnosis of HIV was reported in 4% of men; just over 20% had three or more anal sex partners in the past year. The prevalence of any tested HPV type was 29.4% at the anal site and 11% at the penile site. One quarter of MSM were infected with any of the 9-valent vaccine HPV types. Anal HPV detection was associated with having three or more receptive anal sex partners in the past year (adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=2.92, 95% CI 1.29 to 6.61) and having older sex partners (aOR=2.51, 95% CI 1.07 to 5.90). CONCLUSIONS Our data provide the base to calculate the reproductive rate for HPV transmission in a low-risk community sample and cost-effectiveness to include men in HPV vaccination policies. Adding evidence from a community sample adds comprehensiveness for future estimates of disease transmission and vaccine effectiveness.

Abstract
High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection is not a sufficient condition for cervical cancer development because most infections are benign and naturally cleared. Epidemiological studies revealed that tobacco smoking is a cofactor with HR-HPV for cervical cancer initiation and progression, even though the mechanism by which tobacco smoke cooperates with HR-HPV in this malignancy is poorly understood. As HR-HPV E6/E7 oncoproteins overexpressed in cervical carcinomas colocalize with cigarette smoke components (CSC), in this study we addressed the signaling pathways involved in a potential interaction between both carcinogenic agents. Cervical cancer-derived cell lines, CaSki (HPV16; 500 copies per cell) and SiHa (HPV16; 2 copies per cell), were acutely exposed to CSC at various non-toxic concentrations and we found that E6 and E7 levels were significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner. Using a reporter construct containing the luciferase gene under the control of the full HPV16 long control region (LCR), we also found that p97 promoter activity is dependent on CSC. Non-synonymous mutations in the LCR-resident TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate)-response elements (TRE) had significantly decreased p97 promoter activation. Phosphoproteomic arrays and specific inhibitors revealed that CSC-mediated E6/E7 overexpression is at least in part reliant on EGFR phosphorylation. In addition, we showed that the PI3K/Akt pathway is crucial for CSC-induced E6/E7 overexpression. Finally, we demonstrated that HPV16 E6/E7 overexpression is mediated by JUN. overexpression, c-Jun phosphorylation and recruitment of this transcription factor to TRE sites in the HPV16 LCR. We conclude that acute exposure to tobacco smoke activates the transcription of HPV16 E6 and E7 oncogenes through p97 promoter activation, which involves the EGFR/PI3K/Akt/C-Jun signaling pathway activation in cervical cancer cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate relationships between an objective biomarker of current tobacco exposure and high-risk genital human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence among adult women in the United States. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of adult women (aged 18-59 years) using three consecutive 2-year cycles (2009-2014) from the cross-sectional National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Women who provided self-collected cervicovaginal swabs and serum were included. Human papillomavirus genotyping was conducted on cervicovaginal samples with a Linear Array HPV assay. Cotinine, a major metabolite of nicotine, was assayed from serum to provide a biomarker of recent tobacco exposure. Participants were stratified into three levels of tobacco exposure (nonsmokers, secondhand smoke exposure, and smokers) based on serum cotinine concentration levels using previously published ethnic-specific cut points. Weighted percentages are provided to account for unequal selection probabilities among participants and adjustments for nonresponse. RESULTS Among the 5,158 women analyzed, 2,778 were classified as nonsmokers (57.1%, 95% CI 54.5-59.6%), 1,109 classified as having secondhand smoke exposure (18.4%, 95% CI 16.5-20.3%), and 1,271 classified as smokers (24.6%, 95% CI 22.8-26.5%) using serum cotinine concentration levels. Prevalence of HPV infection differed between nicotine exposure groups (P<.001): 441 smokers (32.1%, 95% CI 29.6-34.7%), 322 women with secondhand smoke exposure (26.1%, 95% CI 22.7-29.7%), and 451 nonsmokers (15.1%, 95% CI 13.3-17.1%) had a high-risk genital HPV infection. Controlling for demographics and number of lifetime sexual partners, the risks compared with nonsmokers for infection with a high-risk HPV genotype for smokers (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.7, 95% CI 1.4-22) and secondhand smokers (adjusted OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.8) are similarly increased (P<.001). CONCLUSION In this large cross-sectional, population-based study, we show a relationship between an objective biomarker of current tobacco use and genital HPV infection. Cigarette smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke are associated with increased odds of infection with high-risk genital HPV independent of lifetime number of sexual partners.

Characterization of key transcription factors as molecular signatures of HPV-positive and HPV-negative oral cancers. Cancer Med 2017; 6:591-604. [PMID: 28155253 PMCID: PMC5345654 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2016] [Revised: 09/29/2016] [Accepted: 11/07/2016] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Prior studies established constitutively active AP-1, NF-κB, and STAT3 signaling in oral cancer. Differential expression/activation of specific members of these transcription factors has been documented in HPV-positive oral lesions that respond better to therapy. We performed a comprehensive analysis of differentially expressed, transcriptionally active members of these pivotal signaling mediators to develop specific signatures of HPV-positive and HPV-negative oral lesions by immunohistochemical method that is applicable in low-resource settings. We examined a total of 31 prospective and 30 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from treatment-naïve, histopathologically and clinically confirmed cases diagnosed as oral or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC/OPSCC). Following determination of their HPV status by GP5 + /GP6 + PCR, the sequential sections of the tissues were evaluated for expression of JunB, JunD, c-Fos, p50, p65, STAT3, and pSTAT3(Y705), along with two key regulatory proteins pEGFR and p16 by IHC. Independent analysis of JunB and p65 showed direct correlation with HPV positivity, whereas STAT3 and pSTAT3 were inversely correlated. A combined analysis of transcription factors revealed a more restrictive combination, characterized by the presence of AP-1 and NF-κB lacking involvement of STAT3 that strongly correlated with HPV-positive tumors. Presence of STAT3/pSTAT3 with NF-κB irrespective of the presence or absence of AP-1 members was present in HPV-negative lesions. Expression of pSTAT3 strongly correlated with all the AP-1/NF-κB members (except JunD), its upstream activator pEGFRY1092 , and HPV infection-related negative regulator p16. Overall, we show a simple combination of AP-1, NF-κB, and STAT3 members' expression that may serve as molecular signature of HPV-positive lesions or more broadly the tumors that show better prognosis.

Combined effects of smoking and HPV16 in oropharyngeal cancer. Int J Epidemiol 2016; 45:752-61. [PMID: 27197530 PMCID: PMC5841602 DOI: 10.1093/ije/dyw069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 10/05/2015] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although smoking and HPV infection are recognized as important risk factors for oropharyngeal cancer, how their joint exposure impacts on oropharyngeal cancer risk is unclear. Specifically, whether smoking confers any additional risk to HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer is not understood. METHODS Using HPV serology as a marker of HPV-related cancer, we examined the interaction between smoking and HPV16 in 459 oropharyngeal (and 1445 oral cavity and laryngeal) cancer patients and 3024 control participants from two large European multi-centre studies. Odds ratios and credible intervals [CrI], adjusted for potential confounders, were estimated using Bayesian logistic regression. RESULTS Both smoking [odds ratio (OR [CrI]: 6.82 [4.52, 10.29]) and HPV seropositivity (OR [CrI]: 235.69 [99.95, 555.74]) were independently associated with oropharyngeal cancer. The joint association of smoking and HPV seropositivity was consistent with that expected on the additive scale (synergy index [CrI]: 1.32 [0.51, 3.45]), suggesting they act as independent risk factors for oropharyngeal cancer. CONCLUSIONS Smoking was consistently associated with increase in oropharyngeal cancer risk in models stratified by HPV16 seropositivity. In addition, we report that the prevalence of oropharyngeal cancer increases with smoking for both HPV16-positive and HPV16-negative persons. The impact of smoking on HPV16-positive oropharyngeal cancer highlights the continued need for smoking cessation programmes for primary prevention of head and neck cancer.
