[PMID: 35261047 PMCID: PMC9314791 DOI: 10.1002/jmv.27706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Cocirculation of multiple human papillomavirus (HPV) infections with low, probably high, and high‐risk genotypes are to be associated with various grades of infections and cancer progression. The oncogenic high‐risk HPVs are distributed and cocirculated throughout the world. This study was investigated to identify HPV genotypes related to genital disorders in unvaccinated women. The subjects were referred from clinics to a molecular lab for HPV testing in Iran as a low‐coverage vaccinated country. HPVs DNAs of cervical scrapping and genital tissue specimens of 1,133 un‐vaccinated women were genotyped using an in vitro diagnostic line probe (reverse hybridization) assay. In addition, phylogenetic trees were constructed on 100 MY09/MY11 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplicons of common genotypes of HPV L1 gene by Sanger sequencing. The mean age of the population study was 32.7 ± 8.0 and the mean age of HPV‐positive cases was 31.6 ± 7.8. HPV DNA was detected in 57.8% (655/1133) of women subjects and 42.2% (478/1133) of cases were undetected. Among 655 HPV‐positive cases, 639 subjects (56.4%) were related to defined genotypes and 16 subjects (1.4%) were untypeable. The highest prevalence rate of HPV genotypes was identified in the 25–34 years. The top 6 dominant HPVs in single and multiple genotypes were HPV6 (284/655 [43.4%]), HPV16 (111/655 [16.9%]), HPV31 (72/655 [11%]), HPV53 (67/655 [10.2%]), HPV11 (62/655 [9.5%]), and HPV52 (62/655 [9.5%]). Moreover, single, multiple and untypeable HPV genotypes were diagnosed as follows: 1 type (318/655 [48.5%]), 2 types (162/655 [24.8%]), 3 types (83/655 [12.7%]), 4 types (42/655 [6.5%]), more than 5 types (34/655 [5.3%]), and 1.4% un‐typeable subjects. The sequenced partial L1 gene of HPV genotypes (GenBank databases under the accession numbers: MH253467‐MH253566) confirmed and determined the cocirculated HPV genotypes' origins and addressed helpful insights into the future viral epidemiology investigations. Multiple HPV infections and cocirculation of various oncogenic HPV genotypes among the normal population (women and men) with asymptomatic forms are still challenging in unvaccinated communities. The preventive and organized surveillance programs for HPV screening are needed to be considered and compiled by health policy makers of low or unvaccinated countries.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted viral infection worldwide. HPV tumorigenesis genotypes are the causative agents of cervical cancer and genital malignancies. The scientific literature has demonstrated that life style, environmental, epigenetic accompanied with HR-HPV genotypes are potential risk factors for cervical cancer progression. The frequencies of the Cyp2C9*2 , Cyp2C9*3 , and vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) genotypes as potential molecular biomarkers have been investigated on Iranian women with cervical malignancy related to HPV genotypes. As a case-control study, the mutations were appraised using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism procedure on women suffering from HPV infection (60 cases), CC (46 cases), and 40 subjects of as healthy control. The outcomes demonstrated that Cyp2C9*3 showed a meaningful relationship between women diagnosed with cervical cancer and the healthy population (AA vs. AC; OR, 7.15; 95% CI, 1.94-26.3; p = .003). It was also observed that the Cyp2C9*3 mutation in women with cervical cancer and VKORC1 in healthy population with HPV (+), did not follow the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Our findings aid understanding the genetic polymorphism distribution of Cyp2C9*2 , Cyp2C9*3 , and VKORC1 in women with genital malignancies. This can also be useful in predicting the susceptibility risk factors for developing cervical cancer. However, allelic discrimination as a molecular biomarker requires further research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HPV genotypes are the most common etiological factor for genital neoplasia. It would appear that sexually transmitted infections accompanied with HPV genotypes might have synergistic interactions in cancer progression. The genetic polymorphisms are involved in metabolizing carcinogens which may contribute to the susceptibility of developing genital cancers by less efficient or overly down metabolic pathways and cell signaling. MTHFR polymorphisms are related to several metabolic disorders and human cancers. We investigated the contribution of MTHFR 1298 and MTHFR 677 polymorphisms as potential risk factors for outcomes with HPV genotypes and STIs in Iranian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS As a case-control study, MTHFR A1298C and C677T were assessed for SNPs analysis using a PCR-RFLP assay in 50 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) cases, 98 HPV-positive subjects and 47 non-cancerous/non-HPV patients as healthy controls. RESULTS Finding suggested a significant association between the MTHFR 1298 CC polymorphisms (OR = 3.5, 95% CI = 1.13-10.82, P ≤ 0.05) in women with CIN as compared to non-cancerous/non-HPV subjects. There was not a significant difference of MTHFR 677 between outcomes. DISCUSSION It would seem MTHFR 1298 CC is more likely to be a potential risk factor for HPV-cervical cancer progression. Consequences support further attempts to understand the clinical manifestations of neoplasia related to genital infections and gene mutations.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most lethal malignancies of the central nervous system characterized by high mortality rate. The complexity of GBM pathogenesis, progression, and prognosis is not fully understood yet. GBM-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry several oncogenic elements that facilitate GBM progression. The purpose of this study was to identify systems level molecular signatures from GBM-derived EVs using integrative analysis of publicly available transcriptomic data generated from plasma and serum samples. The dataset contained 19 samples in total, of which 15 samples were from plasma (11 GBM patients and 4 healthy samples) and 4 samples were from serum (2 GBM and 2 healthy samples). We carried out statistical analysis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs), functional enrichment analysis of the DEGs, protein-protein interaction networks, module analysis, transcription factors and target gene regulatory networks analysis, and identification of hub genes. The differential expression of the identified hub genes were validated with the independent TCGA-GBM dataset. We have identified a few crucial genes and pathways associated with GBM prognosis and therapy resistance. The DEGs identified from plasma were associated with inflammatory processes and viral infection. On the other hand, the hub genes identified from the serum samples were significantly associated with protein ubiquitinylation processes and cytokine signaling regulation. The findings indicate that GBM-derived plasma and serum DEGs may be associated with distinct cellular processes and pathways which facilitate GBM progression. The findings will provide better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of GBM pathogenesis and progression. These results can further be utilized for developing and validating minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic molecular biomarkers for GBM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women. High-Risk HPV types are known as the main agents involved in genital and cervical malignancies. There may be co pathogens like STIs that are involved in enhancing the susceptibility and progression to cervical neoplasia. This study was conducted to detect C. trachomatis, HSV-2 and M. genitalium using qPCR in women suffering from cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, HPV infection and non cancerous- non HPV subjects for the association of burden of genital disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS This descriptive study was performed on 195 Liquid Based Cytology (LBCs) specimens collected from women referred to private laboratories. Fifty, 98 and 47 samples were from women with known CIN, HPV positive and non-cancerous/non-HPV, respectively. HSV-2, C. trachomatis, M. genitalium and HPV genotypes have been detected using multiplex TaqMan Real Time PCR and PCR hybridization. RESULTS A total of 148 HPV positive samples were included. HPVs 6 (35.13%), 16 (32.43%), 18 (21.62%), 11 (9.46%), 31 (9.46%), and 51 (9.46%) were the most common genotypes. Single, 2, 3, and more than 4 multiple HPV genotypes were detected in 46%, 29.7%, 14.2%, 10.1% cases, respectively. The prevalence of M. genitalium, C. trachomatis and HSV2 was 3 (1.54%), 24 (12.3%) and 1(0.5%), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between these pathogens and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (p≥ 0.05). CONCLUSION HR-HPV genotypes were more prevalent in genital infections and cervical cancer. It would seem early detection of dominant STI pathogens such as Chlamydia spp. gains due to effective prevention. Here, further research is needed to understand the co-infections burden of HPV genotypes with STIs in clinical manifestations.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus has been identified as a main etiological agent in the
development of cervical cancer. HPV 16 and 18 have been reported the most widely
prevalent genotypes worldwide. We conducted a study analyzing the prevalence of
high and low risk human papillomavirus viral types in the Mexican state of
Aguascalientes and neighboring cities in the states of Jalisco and Zacatecas in
central Mexico. Specific viral genotype was determined by a PCR and
hybridization-based detection test. The presence of 37 high- and low-risk HPV
genotypes was evaluated in 883 female participants. Of these, 350 presented
low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LGSIL), 176 presented high-grade
squamous intraepithelial lesions (HGSIL), 107 suffered from cervical cancer and
250 women with negative cytological report for intraepithelial lesion or
malignancy (NILM). HPV 51 was the most prevalent genotype, followed by HPV 16:
overall prevalence of HPV 51, including single infections and co-infections was
31.2% in women with LGSIL, whereas prevalence of HPV 16 was 25.1%. Among women
with HGSIL, HPV 51 prevalence was 47.2% and HPV 16 was 30.1%. Prevalence of HPV
51 in women with cervical cancer was 49.5% and type 16 was 33.6%. Between single
and co-infections, most co-infections were not associated with later stages of
the disease, except 51/16 and some others. HPV 51 showed a significant
correlation with the progression of the disease (OR = 10.81 for LGSIL, 19.38 for
HGSIL and 22.95 for ICC), and when analyzing all other genotypes, five different
groups depending on their correlation with all lesion grades were determined.
According to our findings, HPV genotype 51 has a higher prevalence than HPV 16
and 18 in the Mexican state of Aguascalientes and neighboring cities in the
states of Jalisco and Zacatecas in Central Mexico.
