Correlation analysis of human papillomavirus E6/E7 mRNA detection with diagnosis, prognosis and recurrence risk in patients with cervical epithelioma. World J Clin Cases 2024; 12:4146-4153. [DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v12.i20.4146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is an important precursor of cervical cancer. Early detection and treatment can reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.
AIM To investigate the detection rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) E6/E7 mRNA in cervical tissue of patients with different types of epithelial cell neoplasia (CIN) and its relationship with CIN progression and diagnosis.
METHODS One hundred women with HPV infection detected by cervical exfoliation cytology between January 2022 and January 2023 were retrospectively selected. These patients were graded CIN based on colposcopy and cervical pathology. The positive expression rates of HPV E6/E7 mRNA and HPV [polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-reverse dot crossing] were compared among all groups. Patients with HPV E6/E7 mRNA expression in the grade 1 CIN group were followed up for 1 yr. The relationship between atypical squamous epithelium and high malignant epithelial neoplasia was investigated by univariate and multivariate analysis.
RESULTS The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and sensitivity of PCR-reverse point hybridization technology for secondary CIN were 70.41%, 70.66%, and 0.714, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity for secondary CIN were 752% and 7853%, respectively, the area under the curve value was 0.789. Logistic Multifactorial model analysis revealed that the HPV positive rates and the HPV E6/E7 mRNA positive rates were independent risk factors of CIN grade I (P < 0.05). In CIN grade I patients with positive for HPV E6/E7 mRNA, in its orientation to grade CIN patients, in its orientation to grade CIN patients, at 69.2%, compared with patients negative for HPV E6/E7 mRNA (30.8%), significant difference (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION HPV E6/E7 mRNA and HPV (PCR-reverse dot hybrid) positive expression have a close relationship with CIN-grade disease progression and is an independent risk factor for high-grade CIN lesions.

Lactobacillus gasseri LGV03 isolated from the cervico-vagina of HPV-cleared women modulates epithelial innate immune responses and suppresses the growth of HPV-positive human cervical cancer cells. Transl Oncol 2023; 35:101714.

Abstract
Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections is necessary for the development of cervical cancers. An increasing number of retrospective studies have found the depletion of Lactobacillus microbiota in the cervico-vagina facilitate HPV infection and might be involved in viral persistence and cancer development. However, there have been no reports confirming the immunomodulatory effects of Lactobacillus microbiota isolated from cervico-vaginal samples of HPV clearance in women. Using cervico-vaginal samples from HPV persistent infection and clearance in women, this study investigated the local immune properties in cervical mucosa. As expected, type I interferons, such as IFN-α and IFN-β, and TLR3 globally downregulated in HPV+ persistence group. Luminex cytokine/chemokine panel analysis revealed that L. jannaschii LJV03, L. vaginalis LVV03, L. reuteri LRV03, and L. gasseri LGV03 isolated from cervicovaginal samples of HPV clearance in women altered the host's epithelial immune response, particularly L. gasseri LGV03. Furthermore, L. gasseri LGV03 enhanced the poly (I:C)-induced production of IFN by modulating the IRF3 pathway and attenuating poly (I:C)-induced production of proinflammatory mediators by regulating the NF-κB pathway in Ect1/E6E7 cells, indicating that L. gasseri LGV03 keeps the innate system alert to potential pathogens and reduces the inflammatory effects during persistent pathogen infection. L. gasseri LGV03 also markedly inhibited the proliferation of Ect1/E6E7 cells in a zebrafish xenograft model, which may be attributed to an increased immune response mediated by L. gasseri LGV03.

Abstract
Oral papillomatosis represents a benign lesion of the oral mucosa often induced by human papillomavirus (HPV) or having a non-infection local or general etiology. HPVs are very well adapted and efficient viruses able to produce changes in the immune system, endowed with the ability to replicate in the keratinocytes and to remain silent. The natural evolution of HPV infection is different, depending on the efficiency of the innate immune system. The purpose of this study was to explore Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) immunohistochemical expression in low-risk (LR)-HPV oral infection and its ability to facilitate an efficient immune response by activating the macrophages, which serve as main antigen-presenting cells. Samples of two groups of oral mucosae - LR-HPV-positive and HPV-negative - were processed for immunohistochemistry technique and incubated with antibody against TLR9 and cluster of differentiation 68 (CD68). Image analysis and morphometry were conducted to assess the intensity of TLR9 immune signal in the epithelium and the number of macrophages labeled by CD68. We found a statistically significant difference between macrophage count for the subjects in HPV-positive and HPV-negative groups; thought no significant differences of TLR9 immune signal was noted, which demonstrates a diminished immune response in HPV-positive group, probably influencing the time of lesion's clearance.

Abstract
Necroptosis, a programmed form of necrotic cell death, plays critical regulatory roles in the progression and metastatic spread of cancers such as cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC). However, there are few articles systematically analyzing the necroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (NRlncRNAs) correlated with CESC patients. Both RNA-sequencing and clinical data of CESC patients are downloaded from TCGA database in this study. Pearson correlation analysis, least absolute shrinkage, operator algorithm selection and Cox regression model are employed to screen and create a risk score model of eleven-NRlncRNAs (MIR100HG, LINC00996, SNHG30, LINC02688, HCG15, TUBA3FP, MIAT, DBH-AS1, ERICH6-AS1SCAT1, LINC01702) prognostic. Thereafter, a series of tests are carried out in sequence to evaluate the model for independent prognostic value. Gene set enrichment analytic paper, Gene Ontology analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analytic paper make it clear that immune-related signaling pathways are very rich in the high-risk subgroup. Additionally, the prognostic risk score model is correlated to immune cell infiltration, potential immune checkpoint, immune function, immune micro-environmental and m6A-related gene. Mutation frequency in mutated genes and survival probability trend are higher in the low-risk subgroup in most of test cases when compared to the high-risk subgroup. This study constructs a renewed prognostic model of eleven-NRlncRNAs, which may make some contribution to accurately predicting the prognosis and the immune response from CESC patients, and improve the recognition of CESC patients and optimize customized treatment regimens to some extent.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) oncogenes E6 and E7 are essential for HPV-related cancer development. Here, we developed a cell line model using lentiviruses for transfection of the HPV16 oncogenes E6 and E7 and investigated the differences in mRNA expression during cell adhesion and chemokine secretion. Subsequently, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis was performed to explore the differences in mRNA expression. Compared to levels in the control group, 2,905 differentially expressed mRNAs (1,261 downregulated and 1,644 upregulated) were identified in the HaCaT-HPV16E6E7 cell line. To predict the functions of these differentially expressed genes (DEGs) the Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes databases were used. Protein–protein interactions were established, and the hub gene was identified based on this network. Real-time quantitative-PCR (RT-qPCR) was conducted to confirm the levels of 14 hub genes, which were consistent with the RNA-seq data. According to this, we found that these DEGs participate in the extracellular matrix (ECM), cell adhesion, immune control, and cancer-related signaling pathways. Currently, an increasing number of clinicians depend on E6/E7mRNA results to make a comprehensive judgment of cervical precancerous lesions. In this study, 14 hub genes closely related to the expression of cell adhesion ability and chemokines were analyzed in HPV16E6E7-stably expressing cell lines, which will open up new research ideas for targeting E6E7 in the treatment of HPV-related cancers.

Oral Papillomatosis: Its Relation with Human Papilloma Virus Infection and Local Immunity—An Update. Medicina (B Aires) 2022; 58:medicina58081103.

Abstract
Oral papilloma lesions may appear as a result of HPV infection, or not, and only special molecular methods could differentiate them. Low-risk and high-risk HPV types could induce oral HPV papillomatosis with different natural evolution, clearance and persistence mechanisms. The pathogenic mechanisms are based on the crosstalk between the oral epithelial and immune cells and this very efficient virus. HPV acts as a direct inducer in the process of transforming a benign lesion into a malignant one, the cancerization process being also debated in this paper. According to the degree of malignity, three types of papillomatous lesions can be described in the oral cavity: benign lesions, potential malign disorders and malignant lesions. The precise molecular diagnostic is important to identify the presence of various virus types and also the virus products responsible for its oncogenicity. An accurate diagnostic of oral papilloma can be established through a good knowledge of etiological and epidemiological factors, clinical examination and laboratory tests. This review intends to update the pathogenic mechanisms driving the macroscopic and histological features of oral papillomatosis having HPV infection as the main etiological factor, focusing on its interreference in the local immunity. In the absence of an accurate molecular diagnostic and knowledge of local immunological conditions, the therapeutic strategy could be difficult to decide.

Abstract
Immune system plays dual roles during human papilloma virus (HPV) infections, from defense against the virus to induction or stimulation of the HPV-related cancers. It appears that various differences within the immune-related genes and the functions of the immunological parameters of the patients are the main factors responsible for the roles played by immune system during HPV infections. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play key roles in the recognition of viruses and activation of immune responses. The molecules also can alter the target cell intracellular signaling and may participate in the transformation of the infected cells. TLR9 is the unique intracellular member of TLRs that recognize foreign DNA, including viral DNA. Thus, TLR9 may play significant roles in the defense against HPV and its related cancers. This review article discusses TLR9 antiviral and pathological roles during HPV infection.

Abstract
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is a precancerous condition inducing local lesions on the surface of the squamocolumnar junction of the cervix. Despite the role of vaginal microbiota having been under-discussed, the role of the cervical microbiome and the microbial migration across the reproductive tract involved in CIN was limitedly studied. We aimed to synchronously characterize the dysbiosis associated with CIN in both the cervix and vagina in a Chinese population. Profiling of cervical and vaginal microbiota from 60 CIN women and 60 healthy women was conducted. 16S rRNA sequencing was adopted. By comparing the microbial profiles between different parts of the reproductive tract, our results demonstrated an increased shift of microbial diversity in the cervix compared with that in the vagina for the CIN patients, specifically in CIN 1. Less dysbiosis was found between the CIN patients and controls, in either the vagina or cervix. The microbial community may be modulated by the onset of sexual activity, a known clinical risk factor for cervical neoplasia. Distinct patterns of perturbated bacteria were found in the vaginal and cervical microbiota, in which reduced Actinobacteria-related operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and increased Proteobacteria-related OTUs were found in the vagina and cervix, respectively. A good agreement between the direction of the top-significant perturbated OTUs was observed between the vaginal and cervical microbiome, suggesting a potential microbial migration in the reproductive tract. Enriched genera such as Sphingomonas and Stenotrophomonas were found in cervical microbiota-associated CIN. Multivariate analysis revealed Comamonas, Rhizobium, and Pseudomonas as independent genera contributing to CIN in the cervix. In summary, this study revealed the perturbation of microbiota in the presence of CIN and demonstrated a distinct pattern of characteristic bacteria community between the vagina and cervix involved in the development of CIN.
