CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Differences in human papillomavirus (HPV) types may correlate with the biological potential and invasion risk of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2 and CIN 3). The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between different combinations of HPV types and CIN severity. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study, at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp). METHODS: Cervical samples from 106 women treated due to CIN 2 (18) or CIN 3 (88) were examined for specific HPV genotypes using Roche Linear Array® (LA-HPV). The proportions of CIN 2 and CIN 3 in groups of women infected with the HPV phylogenetic groups A7 and A9 were compared. Three groups were formed: women with single infections; multiple infections; and the whole sample. RESULTS: Multiple infections were detected in 68 samples (64.7%). The most frequent high-risk genotypes detected (single/multiple) were HPV 16 (57.1%), HPV 58 (24.7%), HPV 33 (15.2%), HPV 52 (13.3%), HPV 31 (10.4%), HPV 51 (7.6%) and HPV 18 (6.6%). Women without infection with HPV species Alpha 9 were less likely to have CIN 3 than were their Alpha 9 HPV-infected counterparts. HPV 16 and/or HPV 18, with or without associations with other viral types, were more frequently found in women with CIN 3 than in those with CIN 2. CONCLUSIONS: The severity of high-grade CIN may be aggravated by the presence of HPV types included in the Alpha 9 phylogenetic classification and by infections including HPV 16 and 18, singly or in combination with other HPV genotypes.

This study evaluated the detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 antibody in HPV 16–associated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in Australian women. Seroreactivity to HPV 16 L1 virus–like particles was assessed in patients with CIN 2 (n = 169) and CIN 3 (n = 229) lesions previously tested for the presence of HPV DNA. Seropositivity was significantly commoner in women with HPV 16 DNA–positive lesions (98/184) than in women with no HPV DNA in the lesion (15/47) or with HPV of types other than 16 in the lesion (43/167) (P = 0.0004). In addition, seropositivity was observed in 33% (55/169) of women with CIN 2 and 46% (106/229) of women with CIN 3, in keeping with the lower fraction of CIN 2 (57/169) than CIN 3 (127/229) biopsies positive for HPV 16 DNA. HPV 16 seropositivity is most common in women with HPV 16–associated CIN, but many patients with HPV-associated CIN 3 are seronegative, and HPV 16 seropositivity is common in women with CIN associated with other HPV types. Overall, HPV 16 serology is a poor predictor of presence of HPV 16–associated CIN 3 in patient population studied.

Abstract Context.—Impact studies of the new human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines will be biased unless local baseline distribution studies are conducted. Vaccine cross protection for other important oncogenic HPV types and the emergence of potential genotype replacements require the knowledge of the prevaccine epidemiology of HPV. Objective.—To determine the prevaccine distribution of HPV types in Saskatchewan, using a subpopulation of women referred to a colposcopy clinic. Design.—One thousand three hundred fifty-five specimens obtained during colposcopic examination were typed for HPV using L1 or E1 gene polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing. HPV-16 and HPV-31 infections were confirmed with real-time E6 polymerase chain reaction. Indeterminate samples were analyzed using Luminex technology. Correlations of the HPV type and histology were examined for statistical significance. Results.—The most commonly identified genotype in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse was HPV-16 (46.7%) followed by HPV-31 (14.7%) and then HPV-18 (3.9%). Fifteen of 330 specimens that were positive for HPV-16 or HPV-31 were further resolved to be mixed HPV-16/HPV-31 infections by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia associated with HPV-18 infection (0.4–1.7) is substantially lower than with either HPV-16 (3.6–11.0) or HPV-31 (1.8–12.6). Conclusions.—HPV-31 is contributing significantly to the proportion of women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in our population and shows a higher prevalence than HPV-18 in high-grade lesions. The clinical significance of HPV-31 may be underestimated and its continued significance will depend on the level of cross protection offered by the new vaccines.

ObjectiveCervical cancer is the third most frequent cancer in women, worldwide and etiologically associated with infection by human papillomavirus (HPV). Following the results of the first epidemiologic population-based CLEOPATRE study in Portugal, it was important to understand the HPV type-specific distribution in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grades 2 and 3 and invasive cervical cancer (ICC).MethodsThis was an observational, multicenter, cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection. Between January 2008 and May 2009, paraffin-embedded samples of histologically confirmed cases of CIN2, CIN3, and ICC were collected from the 5 regional health administrations in mainland Portugal. Eligible samples were sent to 2 central laboratories for histological reassessment and HPV genotyping. Prevalence estimates were calculated together with 95% confidence intervals.ResultsA total of 582 samples, 177 cases of CIN2, 341 of CIN3, and 64 of ICC, were included. The mean age of participants was 41.8 years (range, 20–88 years). The overall HPV prevalence was 97.9% with a higher prevalence of high-risk genotypes, particularly HPV 16. Multiple infections were observed in 11.2% of the cases. Human papillomavirus prevalence was 95.5% in CIN2, 99.4% in CIN3, and 96.9% in ICC. The 8 more frequent genotypes in order of decreasing frequency were HPV 16, 31, 58, 33, 51, 52, 18, and 35 in CIN2 and HPV 16, 31, 33, 58, 52, 35, 18, and 51 in CIN3. In ICC cases, the 12 detected HPV genotypes were HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, and 73. However, HPV 53 and 73 were always associated to other high-risk genotypes. Human papillomavirus types 31, 51, 52, 56, and 59 were detected in 1 case each.ConclusionsHuman papillomavirus prevalence and patterns of type-specific HPV positivity were comparable with other studies. Current HPV vaccines should protect against HPV genotypes responsible for 77.4% of ICC in Portugal.

Recently, there has been a steady growth of cervical cancer all over the world, especially in Russia. Patients with cervical cancer have become much younger. At the same time, the human papillomavirus is not only the main factor in the neoplastic process, but it is also one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the world. The aim of the paper is to assess the prevalence and characteristics of human papillomavirus genotypes in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Materials and Methods. During the periodic screening we examined 213 women of a reproductive age with HPV infection. All patients underwent liquid-based cytology and human papillomavirus genotyping by polymerase chain reaction. Results. We revealed that the prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia among women with papillomavirus infection was 80.3 % (n=171). According to human papillomavirus genotyping, HPV 16 (38 %) and HPV 33 (32 %) prevailed. We also observed positive high correlation between high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and HPV 18 (r=+0.759, p=0.001), a negative mean correlation between HPV 45 and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) (r=-0.643, p=0.002). A cohort of patients with severe intraepithelial cervical lesions demonstrated high viral load rates. Conclusion. According to the results obtained, we established the dominance of HPV 16 and HPV 33 genotypes in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. There were significant differences between HSIL and LSIL patients with HPV 18 and HPV 45. There was also a correlation between an increase in the viral load with the severity of the pathological process. Keywords: human papillomavirus, intraepithelial cervical neoplasms, cervical cancer. В последние годы в мире, особенно в России, наблюдается неуклонный рост и «омолаживание» рака шейки матки. При этом вирус папилломы человека является не только основным фактором прогрессирования неопластического процесса, но и одной из наиболее распространенных инфекций, предаваемых половым путем, в мире. Цель. Оценить распространенность и характеристику генотипов папилломавирусной инфекции у пациенток с цервикальными интраэпителиальными неоплазиями. Материалы и методы. Проведено обследование 213 пациенток репродуктивного возраста с ВПЧ-инфекцией, пришедших на профилактический осмотр. Всем женщинам было выполнено цитологическое исследование жидкостным методом и генотипирование вируса папилломы человека методом полимеразной цепной реакции. Результаты. Распространенность цервикальных интраэпителиальных неоплазий среди женщин с папилломавирусной инфекцией составила 80,3 % (171 пациентка). Согласно данным генотипирования вируса папилломы человека превалировал 16-й (38 %) и 33-й типы (32 %). Выявлена положительная высокая корреляционная связь между цервикальными неоплазиями высокой степени онкогенного риска (HSIL) и 18-м типом ВПЧ-инфекции (r=+0,759 при р=0,001), отрицательная средняя корреляционная связь 45-го типа ВПЧ с низкой степенью онкогенного риска (LSIL) (r=-0,643 при р=0,002).

Abstract Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a primary cause of cervical cancer. Although epidemiologic study revealed that carcinogenic risk differs according to HPV genotypes, the expression patterns of HPV-derived transcripts and their dependence on HPV genotypes have not yet been fully elucidated. Methods In this study, 382 patients with abnormal cervical cytology were enrolled to assess the associations between HPV-derived transcripts and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grades and/or HPV genotypes. Specifically, four HPV-derived transcripts, namely, oncogenes E6 and E6* , E1^E4 , and viral capsid protein L1 in four major HPV genotypes—HPV 16, 18, 52, and 58—were investigated. Results The detection rate of E6/E6* increased with CIN progression, whereas there was no significant change in the detection rate of E1^E4 or L1 among CIN grades. In addition, we found that L1 gene expression was HPV type-dependent. Almost all HPV 52-positive specimens, approximately 50% of HPV 58-positive specimens, around 33% of HPV 16-positive specimens, and only one HPV18-positive specimen expressed L1 . Conclusions We demonstrated that HPV-derived transcripts are HPV genotype-dependent. Especially, expression patterns of L1 gene expression might reflect HPV genotype-dependent patterns of carcinogenesis.

Multicenter international phase III clinical trials using multivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines for cervical cancer (CC) prevention are underway. As HPV immunity is type specific, defining HPV genotype prevalence in different regions to ascertain whether predominant types differ geographically is considerably important prior to vaccine implementation. This study aimed to define HPV genotypes present in CC and high-grade dysplasia among women in Melbourne, Australia. HPV genotype analysis of a cross section of women in Melbourne with cervical dysplasia/cancer was performed. A total of 493 cervical biopsies from patients being treated for moderate (n = 122) or severe (n = 180) cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN II/III) or CC (n = 191) were tested for HPV genotypes using the PGMY09/11 primer system and line blot assay. HPV detection rates were 63.9%, 72.8%, and 86.9% in CIN II, CIN III, and CC biopsies, respectively. The most prevalent HPV genotypes among CC biopsies were HPV-16 (52.9%), HPV-18 (18.3%), HPV-45 (6.3%), HPV-39 (3.1%), and HPV-73 (2.6%). Multiple HPV infections, comprising two to five types, were identified in 14.4% of biopsies, being significantly fewer (5.2%) among CC biopsies (P < 0.0001). These results indicate that the two most prevalent CC-associated HPV genotypes in Australia parallel those described internationally, with type variations thereafter.

Background: Persistent infection with high-risk Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) causes development of cervical cancer. Among the high risk group, HPV-16 accounts for 50% & HPV-18 accounts for 12% of cervical cancer.Objective: The current sudy aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HPV genotype 16 and 18 in high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CINII&III) and cervical cancer.Methods: This descriptive type of cross-sectional observational study was carried out in colposcopy clinic of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH), Bangladesh, from July 2012 to June 2013. Women with colposcopically diagnosed high-grade CIN and clinically diagnosed cervical carcinoma were enrolled. Pregnant & menstruating women were excluded from this study. Colposcopy guided cervical biopsy were taken from high grade CIN with loop electrosugical excision procedure (LEEP) and wedge biopsy were taken from cervical cancer. All the specimen were reviewed by histopathologist to confirm the diagnosis. Extra sample of specimen were sent to the Department of Microbiology and Hygiene of Bangladesh Agriculture University, Mymensingh for the detection of HPV-16 & 18 DNA by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).Result: Out of 71 samples, histopathologically 4.2% was diagnosed as chronic cervicitis, 8.5% CIN I, 26.8% CIN II, 16.9% CIN III, 40.8% squamous cell carcinoma and 2.8% adenocarcinoma of cervix. The results revealed that 30 cases were positive for HPV-16, 06 cases for HPV-18 and 04 cases for both. In this study, the prevalence of HPV- 16 & 18 infection was 56.3%. Infection found to be higher in women aged between 45 and 54 (P<0.01). Most of them were from low socioeconomic status (P<0.01) and married at an early age ranging from 11 to 15 (P<0.01). It was found that multiparity correlated higher rate of HPV positivity than only one or two pregnancy, but statistically it was not significant (P>0.05).Conclusion: The high prevalence of HPV-16 and 18 in high grade CIN and cervical cancer samples suggests that vaccination against HPV-16 and 18 may be effective in bringing down the cervical cancer incidence in Bangladesh.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2018; 36(3): 112-117

ObjectiveIndependent, prospective, multicenter, hospital-based cross-sectional studies were conducted across 5 countries in Asia, namely, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, South Korea, and the Philippines. The objectives of these studies were to evaluate the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) types (high risk and others including coinfections) in women with invasive cervical cancer (ICC) and high-grade precancerous lesions.MethodsWomen older than 21 years with a histologic diagnosis of ICC and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia [CIN 2 or 3 and adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS)] were enrolled. Cervical specimens were reviewed by histopathologists to confirm the presence of ICC or CIN 2/3/AIS lesion and tested with short PCR fragment10-DNA enzyme immunoassay-line probe assay for 14 oncogenic HPV types and 11 non-oncogenic HPV types. The prevalence of HPV 16, HPV 18, and other high-risk HPV types in ICC [including squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous carcinoma (ADC/ASC)] and CIN 2/3/AIS was estimated.ResultsIn the 5 Asian countries, diagnosis of ICC was confirmed in 500 women [SCC (n = 392) and ADC/ASC (n = 108)], and CIN 2/3/AIS, in 411 women. Human papillomavirus DNA was detected in 93.8% to 97.0% (84.5% for the Philippines) of confirmed ICC cases [94.0%–98.7% of SCC; 87.0%–94.3% (50.0% for the Philippines) of ADC/ASC] and in 93.7% to 100.0% of CIN 2/3/AIS. The most common types observed among ICC cases were HPV 16 (36.8%–61.3%), HPV 18 (12.9%–35.4%), HPV 52 (5.4%–10.3%), and HPV 45 (1.5%–17.2%), whereas among CIN 2/3/AIS cases, HPV 16 (29.7%–46.6%) was the most commonly observed type followed by HPV 52 (17.0%–66.7%) and HPV 58 (8.6%–16.0%).ConclusionsThis article presents the data on the HPV prevalence, HPV type distribution, and their role in cervical carcinogenesis in 5 Asian countries. These data are of relevance to public health authorities for evaluating the existing and future cervical cancer prevention strategies including HPV-DNA testing–based screening and HPV vaccination in these Asian populations.
