TMEM45A, SERPINB5 and p16INK4A transcript levels are predictive for development of high-grade cervical lesions

ABSTRACT: Women persistently infected with human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 are at high risk for development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or cervical cancer (CIN3+). We aimed to identify biomarkers for progression to CIN3+ in women with persistent HPV16 infection. In this prospective study, 11,088 women aged 20–29 years were enrolled during 1991-1993, and re-invited for a second visit two years later. Cervical cytology samples obtained at both visits were tested for HPV DNA by Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2), and HC2-positive samples were genotyped by INNO-LiPA. The cohort was followed for up to 19 years via a national pathology register. To identify markers for progression to CIN3+, we performed microarray analysis on RNA extracted from cervical swabs of 30 women with persistent HPV16-infection and 11 HPV-negative women. After further validation, we found that high mRNA expression levels of TMEM45A, SERPINB5 and p16INK4a were associated with increased risk of CIN3+ in persistently HPV16-infected women.

Project description:Cervical cancer results from the accumulation of (epi)genetic aberrations following persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). In order to define genetic aberrations associated with cervical carcinogenesis, chromosomal profiles of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) were generated. Common aberrations usually encompass large genomic regions and contain numerous genes, hampering identification of actual driver genes. Consequently, direct evidence of chromosomal alterations actively contributing to cervical carcinogenesis has been lacking so far. By analyzing 60 high-grade CIN with high resolution arrayCGH we identified focal chromosomal aberrations that each harbour only one or a few genes. In total 74 focal aberrations were identified encoding 305 genes. Analysis of genes located within these focal aberrations, using two independent expression microarray datasets, revealed concurrent altered expression in high-grade CIN and/or cervical carcinomas compared to normal cervical samples for 8 genes: ATP13A3, HES1, OPA1, HRASLS, EYA2, ZMYND8, APOBEC2 and NCR2. Gene silencing of EYA2, located within a focal gain at 20q13, significantly reduced viability and migratory capacity of HPV16-transformed keratinocytes. Interestingly, for hsa-miR-375, located within the most frequently identified focal loss at 2q35, a direct correlation between a (focal) loss and significantly reduced expression was found. Down-regulation of hsa-miR-375 expression during cervical carcinogenesis was confirmed in a second independent series of cervical tissues. Moreover, ectopic expression of hsa-miR-375 in 2 cervical carcinoma cell lines reduced cellular viability. In conclusion, our data provide a proof of concept that chromosomal aberrations are actively contributing to HPV-induced carcinogenesis and identify EYA2 and hsa-mir-375 as oncogene and tumor suppressor gene, respectively. DNA from microdissected tissues: 60 samples total. 11 high-grade CIN, <5yr preceding hrHPV infection, 43 high-grade CIN >5yr preceding hrHPV infection, 6 CIN3 adjacent to SCC
