Cervical Cancer, Papillomavirus, and miRNA Dysfunction.

ABSTRACT: Cervical cancer is the leading cause of death by cancer in women from developing countries. Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 is a major risk factor for cervical carcinogenesis. Nevertheless, only a few women with morphologic expression of HPV infection progress into invasive disease suggesting the involvement of other factors in cervical carcinogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are conserved small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression including genes involved in fundamental biological processes and human cancer. Dysregulation of miRNAs has been widely reported in cervical cancer. This work focuses on reviewing the miRNAs affected during the HPV infection process, as well relevant miRNAs that contribute to the development and maintenance of malignant cervical tumor cells. Finally, we recapitulate on miRNAs that may be used to distinguish between healthy individuals from patients with precancerous lesions or cervical tumors.

Therapeutic vaccines against human papillomavirus and cervical cancer.

Project description:Cervical cancer and its precursor intra-epithelial lesions are linked to infection by a subset of so-called "highrisk" human papillomavirus types, which are estimated to infect nearly four hundred million women worldwide. Two prophylactic vaccines have been commercialized recently targeting HPV16 and 18, the most prevalent viral types found in cervical cancer, which operate through induction of capsid-specific neutralizing antibodies. However, in patients with persistent infection these vaccines have not been found to protect against progression to neoplasia. Attempts are being made to develop therapeutic vaccines targeting nonstructural early viral proteins. Among these, E6 and E7 are the preferred targets, since they are essential for induction and maintenance of the malignant phenotype and are constitutively expressed by the transformed epithelial cells. Here are reviewed the most relevant potential vaccines based on HPV early antigens that have shown efficacy in preclinical models and that are being tested in clinical studies, which should determine their therapeutic capacity for eradicating HPV-induced premalignant and malignant lesions and cure cervical cancer.

Genetic variations in human papillomavirus and cervical cancer outcomes.

Project description:Cervical cancer is driven by persistent infection of human papillomavirus (HPV), which is influenced by HPV type and intratypic variants, yet the impact of HPV type and intratypic variants on patient outcomes is far less understood. Here, we examined the association of cervical cancer stage and survival with HPV type, clade, lineage, and intratypic variants within the HPV E6 locus. Of 1,028 HPV-positive cases recruited through the CerGE study, 301 were in-situ and 727 were invasive cervical cancer (ICC), with an average post-diagnosis follow-up of 4.8 years. HPV sequencing was performed using tumor-isolated DNA to assign HPV type, HPV 16 lineage, clade, and intratypic variants within the HPV 16 E6 locus, of which nonsynonomous variants were functionally annotated by molecular modeling. HPV 18-related types were more prevalent in ICC compared to in-situ disease and associated with significantly worse recurrence-free survival (RFS) compared to HPV 16-related types. The HPV 16 Asian American lineage D3 and Asian lineage A4 associated more frequently with ICC than with in situ disease and women with an intratypic HPV 16 lineage B exhibited a trend toward worse RFS than those with A, C, or D lineages. Participants with intratypic E6 variants predicted to stabilize the E6-E6AP-p53 complex had worse RFS. Variants within the highly immunogenic HPV 16 E6 region (E14-I34) were enriched in ICC compared to in-situ lesions but were not associated with survival. Collectively, our results suggest that cervical cancer outcome is associated with HPV variants that affect virus-host interactions.

Carcinogenesis and management of human papillomavirus-associated cervical cancer.

Project description: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.

Human papillomavirus testing in the prevention of cervical cancer.

Project description:Strong evidence now supports the adoption of cervical cancer prevention strategies that explicitly focus on persistent infection with the causal agent, human papillomavirus (HPV). To inform an evidence-based transition to a new public health approach for cervical cancer screening, we summarize the natural history and cervical carcinogenicity of HPV and discuss the promise and uncertainties of currently available screening methods. New HPV infections acquired at any age are virtually always benign, but persistent infections with one of approximately 12 carcinogenic HPV types explain virtually all cases of cervical cancer. In the absence of an overtly persistent HPV infection, the risk of cervical cancer is extremely low. Thus, HPV test results predict the risk of cervical cancer and its precursors (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3) better and longer than cytological or colposcopic abnormalities, which are signs of HPV infection. The logical and inevitable move to HPV-based cervical cancer prevention strategies will require longer screening intervals that will disrupt current gynecologic and cytology laboratory practices built on frequent screening. A major challenge will be implementing programs that do not overtreat HPV-positive women who do not have obvious long-term persistence of HPV or treatable lesions at the time of initial evaluation. The greatest potential for reduction in cervical cancer rates from HPV screening is in low-resource regions that can implement infrequent rounds of low-cost HPV testing and treatment.

A Human Papillomavirus-Independent Cervical Cancer Animal Model Reveals Unconventional Mechanisms of Cervical Carcinogenesis.

Project description:HPV infections are common in healthy women and only rarely cause cervical cancer, suggesting that individual genetic susceptibility may play a critical role in the establishment of persistent HPV infection and the development of cervical cancer. Here, we provide convincing in vitro and in vivo evidence showing that differential expression and activation of YAP1 oncogene determine individual susceptibility to HPV infection and cervical carcinogenesis. We found that hyperactivation of YAP1 in mouse cervical epithelium was sufficient to induce invasive cervical cancer. Cervical epithelial cell-specific HPV16 E6/E7 and YAP1 double-knockin mouse model demonstrated that high-risk HPV synergized with hyperactivated YAP1 to promote the initiation and progression of cervical cancer. Our mechanistic studies indicated that hyperactivation of YAP1 in cervical epithelial cells facilitated HPV infection by increasing the putative HPV receptor molecules and disrupting host cell innate immunity. Our finding reveals an unconventional mechanism for cervical carcinogenesis.

Post-treatment human papillomavirus antibody kinetics in cervical cancer patients.

Project description:Antibodies to the E6 and E7 oncoproteins of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types are strongly associated with HPV-driven cancer, while antibodies against the capsid protein L1 are considered cumulative exposure markers. To test the hypothesis that L1 antibody levels are stable over time, whereas E6 and E7 levels undergo decay after cervical cancer (CxCa) treatment, we performed multiplex serology for HPV16 and 18 antigens E6, E7 and L1 in a post-treatment study of 184 patients with invasive CxCa that were characterized with a median follow-up time of 725 days, and 2-12 sera per patient. Antibody titers significantly decreased within the first six months for HPV16 E6 and E7 but not L1, and stabilized for the following 12 months on a high level, with few patients showing seroreversion. Of 67 patients seropositive for HPV16 E6 at diagnosis, 28 (41.8%) showed a decrease in antibody titers of at least 50% within the first 18 months. Similarly, of 50 HPV16 E7 seropositives, 33 (66.0%) showed decreasing antibody levels, whereas antibody decay was less frequent for HPV16 L1 (12 of 47, 25.5%). Using a power-law mathematical model to characterize antibody decay kinetics, the mean (±s.e.) durations to a 50% reduction in antibody titers within individual patients were estimated to be 56.9 (±26.1) and 56.3 (±19.0) days for HPV16 E6 and E7, respectively. In summary, HPV16 E6 and E7 antibodies undergo a slow but significant decrease in antibody titers within the first 6-18 months following CxCa treatment. However, larger studies are needed to confirm the utility of serology for prediction of disease progression and time to relapse based on antibody decay kinetics. This article is part of the theme issue 'Silent cancer agents: multi-disciplinary modelling of human DNA oncoviruses'.

Activation of miR-9 by human papillomavirus in cervical cancer.

Project description:Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer in women worldwide, leading to about 300,000 deaths each year. Most cervical cancers are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. However, persistent transcriptional activity of HPV oncogenes, which indicates active roles of HPV in cervical cancer maintenance and progression, has not been well characterized. Using our recently developed assays for comprehensive profiling of HPV E6/E7 transcripts, we have detected transcriptional activities of 10 high-risk HPV strains from 87 of the 101 cervical tumors included in the analysis. These HPV-positive patients had significantly better survival outcome compared with HPV-negative patients, indicating HPV transcriptional activity as a favorable prognostic marker for cervical cancer. Furthermore, we have determined microRNA (miRNA) expression changes that were correlated with tumor HPV status. Our profiling and functional analyses identified miR-9 as the most activated miRNA by HPV E6 in a p53-independent manner. Further target validation and functional studies showed that HPV-induced miR-9 activation led to significantly increased cell motility by downregulating multiple gene targets involved in cell migration. Thus, our work helps to understand the molecular mechanisms as well as identify potential therapeutic targets for cervical cancer and other HPV-induced cancers.

Human Papillomavirus Genotype Distribution in Invasive Cervical Cancer in Pakistan.

Project description:Few studies have assessed the burden of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in Pakistan. We aim to provide specific information on HPV-type distribution in invasive cervical cancer (ICC) in the country. A total of 280 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks were consecutively selected from Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (Lahore, Pakistan). HPV-DNA was detected by SPF10 broad-spectrum PCR followed by DNA enzyme immunoassay and genotyping by LiPA25. HPV-DNA prevalence was 87.5% (95%CI: 83.0-91.1), with 96.1% of cases histologically classified as squamous cell carcinoma. Most of the HPV-DNA positive cases presented single infections (95.9%). HPV16 was the most common type followed by HPV18 and 45. Among HPV-DNA positive, a significantly higher contribution of HPV16/18 was detected in Pakistan (78.4%; 72.7-83.3), compared to Asia (71.6%; 69.9-73.4) and worldwide (70.8%; 69.9-71.8) and a lower contribution of HPVs31/33/45/52/58 (11.1%; 7.9-15.7 vs. 19.8%; 18.3-21.3 and 18.5%; 17.7-19.3). HPV18 or HPV45 positive ICC cases were significantly younger than cases infected by HPV16 (mean age: 43.3, 44.4, 50.5 years, respectively). A routine cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination program does not yet exist in Pakistan; however, the country could benefit from national integrated efforts for cervical cancer prevention and control. Calculated estimations based on our results show that current HPV vaccine could potentially prevent new ICC cases.

Human papillomavirus 45 genetic variation and cervical cancer risk worldwide.

Project description:UnlabelledHuman papillomavirus 45 (HPV45) is a member of the HPV18-related alpha-7 species and accounts for approximately 5% of all cervical cancer cases worldwide. This study evaluated the genetic diversity of HPV45 and the association of HPV45 variants with the risk of cervical cancer by sequencing the entire E6 and E7 open reading frames of 300 HPV45-positive cervical samples from 36 countries. A total of 43 HPV45 sequence variants were identified that formed 5 phylogenetic sublineages, A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2, the distribution of which varied by geographical region. Among 192 cases of cervical cancer and 101 controls, the B2 sublineage was significantly overrepresented in cervical cancer, both overall and in Africa and Europe separately. We show that the sequence analysis of E6 and E7 allows the classification of HPV45 variants and that the risk of cervical cancer may differ by HPV45 variant sublineage.ImportanceThis work describes the largest study to date of human papillomavirus 45 (HPV45)-positive cervical samples and provides a comprehensive reference for phylogenetic classification for use in epidemiological studies of the carcinogenicity of HPV45 genetic variants, particularly as our findings suggest that the B2 sublineage of HPV45 is associated with a higher risk of cervical cancer.
