The HPV16 Genome Is Stable in Women Who Progress to In Situ or Invasive Cervical Cancer: A Prospective Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT: The human papillomavirus (HPV) rate of evolution is essential for cancer-preventive strategies targeting HPV. We analyzed variability over time in a prospective, population-based nested case-control study of in situ (CIS) and invasive squamous cervical cancer (SCC). Among 757,690 women who participated in cervical screening in Sweden during 1969 to 2002, we identified 94 women who had HPV16 persistence in two serial cervical screening samples (median 24 months apart, range 0.5-178 months) and later were diagnosed with CIS (n = 59), SCC (n = 32), or remained healthy (n = 3). Whole-HPV16-genome sequencing and comparison of sequences in the serial samples revealed that all women had the same HPV16 lineage, particularly lineage A, in both serial smears. Fifty-six percent of women had an identical 7,906 base pair HPV16 sequence in both samples, and no woman had more than 15 nucleotide substitutions. The median substitution rate was 0 substitutions/site/year (95% confidence interval, 0-0.00008), with no variation between quartiles of follow-up. We concluded that in most women with HPV16 persistence preceding disease, the nucleotide substitution rate was not measurable within up to 15-years follow-up. This slow rate of evolution has important implications for both HPV-based screening and HPV vaccination. SIGNIFICANCE: These findings show there is no genomic variation over time in HPV16 infections progressing to cervical cancer, which could influence risk stratification of women when screening for cervical cancer and inform HPV vaccination strategies.

Prospective study of HPV16 viral load and risk of in situ and invasive squamous cervical cancer.

Project description:A strong association has been shown between high viral DNA load (VL) of human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 and risk for cervical cancer in situ (CIS). However, little data is available for the significance of VL in invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).In 2 nested case-control studies among women participating in cervical screening, with a cytologically normal first smear, we collected 5,665 smears from 621 women with CIS, 457 with SCC, and individually matched controls. All smears were tested for HPV, and VLs of HPV16 positive smears were quantified using real time-PCR. The median follow-up until diagnosis of CIS or SCC was 6.1 to 7.7 years.Low VL's were common among both CIS and SCC case women, until 1 to 2 years before diagnosis when a surge in VL occurred. The relative risk (RR) associated with low viral load of HPV16 was around 10 for CIS, and 10 to 20 for SCC throughout 10 years before diagnosis, compared with HPV16-negative women. For women with medium to high VL, the risk for CIS was greatly increased from 5 years before diagnosis [RR, 19; 95% confidence interval (CI), 7-48]. In SCC, a high VL conferred an increased risk, but only from 3 years before diagnosis [RR, 60; 95% CI, 6-580].We show differing risk functions associated with HPV16 viral load in CIS and SCC, respectively. We further show that viral loads were unexpectedly low early in the SCC disease process.HPV16 viral load appears highly complex which may limit its use in cervical screening.

Human papillomavirus type 16 genomic variation in women with subsequent in situ or invasive cervical cancer: prospective population-based study.

Project description:BackgroundHPV genomic variation may be involved in viral carcinogenesis.MethodsIn a national register-based nested case-control study, we retrieved archival smears from baseline cytologically normal women who later developed cancer in situ (CIS), squamous cervical cancer (SCC) or remained free of disease. These smears were previously HPV tested by PCR and HPV16 was the strongest risk factor. We now used the Illumina NextSeq platform to sequence HPV16 genomes in cervical smears from 242 women who later developed CIS/CIN3 (n = 134), SCC (n = 92) or remained healthy (n = 16).ResultsThe median sequence depth per sample was high (11,288×). For 218/242 samples (>90%), we covered ≥80% of the complete HPV16 genome with sequencing median depths of >200×. We identified a wide range of unique isolates and 147 novel SNPs across the 218 samples. Most women (97%) had HPV16 lineage A infection, with the sublineages being A1 (66.1%), A2 (28.9%) and A4 (1.8%), respectively. The least variable gene was the E7 (3.4% variability), where 170/204 case women (83%) displayed a fully conserved sequence. There were no obvious differences by disease outcome (CIS or SCC).ConclusionsWe found a high number of novel SNPs. The E7 gene was hypovariable both among women later developing CIN3/CIS, and SCC, respectively.

Redetection of cervical human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) in women with a history of HPV16.

Project description:BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to examine the rate of and risks for cervical human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) redetection in women with documented or suspected HPV16 infection.MethodsA convenience sample of women aged 13-21 years were seen at 4-month intervals for HPV DNA testing and cytology. Serum samples were obtained at baseline and annually.ResultsA total of 1543 women entered the study. Of the 295 women with detection of HPV16 DNA and subsequent clearance, 18.1% had HPV16 redetected by 8.5 years (88% cleared this second detection by 3 years). Of the 247 women who had antibodies to HPV16 and were HPV16 DNA negative at baseline, 15.3% had HPV16 redetected by year 5. Risks for redetection included douching, current use of medroxyprogesterone, reporting >1 sex partner or having a new sex partner, and having a sexually transmitted infection. Development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 was rare in women with redetection, except for those with prevalent HPV16 infection.ConclusionsReappearance of HPV16 DNA was observed in 18% of women. Most are associated with sexual exposure and appear benign. Interpretation of the studies is more complex in women with prevalent infections as it appears that this small subset reflects women with persistence already present at entry.

Viral E6 is overexpressed via high viral load in invasive cervical cancer with episomal HPV16.

Project description:The integration of HR-HPV genome into host DNA is regarded as a key step for the development of cervical cancer. However, HR-HPV genome indeed exists as episome except for integrant. It may be alternative mechanisms in episome-associated carcinogenesis, although, by which HPV 16 episome induces cervical carcinogenesis is unclear now.Ninety-three invasive cervical cancer tissues with HPV16 positive were collected. Viral physical status was calculated from comparing E2 to E6-copies and detection of viral load was made with realtime-PCR using copy numbers of E6. HPV16 E6 mRNA transcript levels were measured by realtime-PCR. The methylation frequency of HPV16 promoter was detected by PCR and pyrosequencing.In 93 samples, 21.5% (20/93) presented purely integrated viral genome, 53.8% (50/93) mixed viral genome, and 24.7% (23/93) purely episomal viral genome. Mean E6 expression in samples with purely episomal viral genomes was 7.13-fold higher than that with purely integrated viral genomes. Meanwhile, viral load in samples with purely episomal viral genomes was 4.53-fold higher than that with purely integrated viral genomes. E6 mRNA expression increased with the viral load in purely episomal cases. There were no differences of mean methylation frequency between purely episomal and integrated virus and among five CpG positions of HPV16 promoter for all samples. And there also was no correlation between E6 mRNA expression and methylation of HPV16 promoter among all samples with purely HPV16 episomal virus.HPV16 with the purely episomal viral genomes exists in a definite proportion of invasive cervical cancer, and episomal HPV16 also overexpresses E6 mRNA, probably through a high level of viral load.

Human papillomavirus 16 sub-lineage dispersal and cervical cancer risk worldwide: Whole viral genome sequences from 7116 HPV16-positive women.

Project description:BackgroundHuman papillomavirus (HPV)16 can be separated into genetic sub-lineages (A1-4, B1-4, C1-4, D1-4) which may have differential cervical cancer risk.MethodsA next-generation sequencing assay was used to whole-genome sequence 7116 HPV16-positive cervical samples from well-characterised international epidemiological studies, including 2076 controls, 1878 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 186 adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous cell carcinoma (ADC), and to assign HPV16 sub-lineage. Logistic regression was used to estimate region-stratified country-adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95%CI.ResultsA1 was the most globally widespread sub-lineage, with others showing stronger regional specificity (A3 and A4 for East Asia, B1-4 and C1-4 for Africa, D2 for the Americas, B4, C4 and D4 for North Africa). Increased cancer risks versus A1 were seen for A3, A4 and D (sub)lineages in regions where they were common: A3 in East Asia (OR=2.2, 95%CI:1.0-4.7); A4 in East Asia (6.6, 3.1-14.1) and North America (3.8, 1.7-8.3); and D in North (6.2, 4.1-9.3) and South/Central America (2.2, 0.8-5.7), where D lineages were also more frequent in ADC than SCC (3.2, 1.5-6.5; 12.1, 5.7-25.6, respectively).ConclusionsHPV16 genetic variation can strongly influence cervical cancer risk. However, burden of cervical cancer attributable to different sub-lineages worldwide is largely driven by historical HPV16 sub-lineage dispersal.

HPV16-LINC00393 Integration Alters Local 3D Genome Architecture in Cervical Cancer Cells.

Project description:High-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection and integration were considered as essential onset factors for the development of cervical cancer. However, the mechanism on how hrHPV integration influences the host genome structure remains not fully understood. In this study, we performed in situ high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq), and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) in two cervical cells, 1) NHEK normal human epidermal keratinocyte; and 2) HPV16-integrated SiHa tumorigenic cervical cancer cells. Our results reveal that the HPV-LINC00393 integrated chromosome 13 exhibited significant genomic variation and differential gene expression, which was verified by calibrated CTCF and H3K27ac ChIP-Seq chromatin restructuring. Importantly, HPV16 integration led to differential responses in topologically associated domain (TAD) boundaries, with a decrease in the tumor suppressor KLF12 expression downstream of LINC00393. Overall, this study provides significant insight into the understanding of HPV16 integration induced 3D structural changes and their contributions on tumorigenesis, which supplements the theory basis for the cervical carcinogenic mechanism of HPV16 integration.

HPV16-E6/E7 Oncogene Mutation and p53 Expression among Indonesian Women with Cervical Cancer.

Project description:ObjectiveTo characterize HPV16 E6/E7 mutation and its association with p53 expression among Indonesian women with cervical cancer.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study involving 31 Indonesian women with pathologically proven cervical cancer and HPV16 infection. Data about the clinical characteristics of the study population were obtained from the medical records. Biopsy specimen of the cervical cancer mass from each study participant was obtained for DNA isolation. The ORFs of E6 and E7 genes were amplified using specific primer designed according to K02718/HPV16R gene sequence obtained from GenBank. Sequencing was performed using software program MEGA10. HPV16 E6 and E7 prototype sequences for nucleotide alignment (HPv16. P, GenBank Access code: NC_001526) was selected from European variant. The sequence of nucleotide and amino acid was aligned using software program BioEdit. p53 expression was evaluated through immunohistochemistry and quantified using immunoreactivity score (IRS).ResultsTwelve subjects (38.7%) present with E6 and E7 mutation. Median age, parity, stage and histologic type of the tumour did not associate with E6/E7 mutation. E6 and E7 mutation rate was 25.8% (8/31) and 12.9% (4/31), respectively. Seven single nucleotide changes were identified within the E6 and E7 oncogenes, including four non-synonymous and three synonymous mutations. E6 T27C was the most prevalent mutation (16.1%). Nonsynonymous mutations were more prevalent within E7 gene (9.6%) (N29T, N29S, and R77C). Median IRS did not differ between HPV16-E6/E7 variants and wildtype (p value = 0.990). There was no association between E6/E7 mutations and p53 expression in Indonesian women with cervical cancer (PR 1.4, 95% CI: 0.29-6.77, p value = 0.704).ConclusionsHPV16 E6 mutation was more prevalent than E7 mutation among Indonesian women. There was no association between E6/E7 mutation and p53 expression level.

Clinical relevance of partial HPV16/18 genotyping in stratifying HPV-positive women attending routine cervical cancer screening: a population-based cohort study.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate partial HPV16/18 genotyping as a possible biomarker to select women attending HPV-based cervical cancer screening at higher risk to be referred to colposcopy.DesignPopulation-based cohort study.SettingOrganised cervical cancer screening programmes (Italy).PopulationWomen with high-risk HPV infection (period: 2015-2019).MethodsWe analysed the association between partial HPV16/18 genotyping, cytology triage and histologically confirmed diagnosis of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN3+ ) lesions.Main outcome measuresDetection rate (DR) and positive predictive value (PPV) for histologically confirmed CIN3+ (any episode in the 2 years after baseline); sensitivity for CIN3+ and number of colposcopies needed for lesion detection.ResultsThe study included 145 437 women screened with HPV testing by the clinically validated COBAS 4800 HPV assay (Roche). Overall, 9601 (6.6%) women were HPV+ at baseline; HPV16 and HPV18 were present in 1865 and 594 samples, respectively. The cumulative (baseline plus 1-year repeat) cytology positivity was 42.8% and high-grade cytology was significantly higher (P < 0.0001) among women with HPV16 infection at baseline (15.2%). The cumulative CIN3+ DR for women with HPV16, HPV18 and other HPV-type infections was 9.8%, 3.4% and 1.8%, respectively.ConclusionsPartial HPV16 genotyping may play a role in triage, whereas HPV18 seems to behave much more similarly to the other HPV types and does not provide additional stratification. HPV16 genotyping combined with high-grade cytology can be envisaged as a triage biomarker in cervical screening to maximise CIN3+ detection while minimising colposcopy at baseline or 1-year repeat.Tweetable abstractHPV16 genotyping combined with high-grade cytology can be used as triage biomarker for CIN3+ in HPV-positive women.

Human papillomavirus type 16 integration in cervical carcinoma in situ and in invasive cervical cancer.

Project description:Integration of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) into the host DNA has been proposed as a potential marker of cervical neoplastic progression. In this study, a quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to examine the physical status of HPV-16 in 126 cervical carcinoma in situ and 92 invasive cervical cancers. Based on criteria applied to results from this qRT-PCR assay, HPV-16 was characterized in carcinoma in situ cases as episomal (61.9%), mixed (i.e., episomal and integrated; 29.4%), and integrated (8.7%) forms. In invasive cervical cancer samples, HPV-16 was similarly characterized as episomal (39.1%), mixed (45.7%), and integrated (15.2%) forms. The difference in the frequency of integrated or episomal status estimated for carcinoma in situ and invasive cervical cancer cases was statistically significant (P = 0.003). Extensive mapping analysis of HPV-16 E1 and E2 genes in 37 selected tumors demonstrated deletions in both E1 and E2 genes with the maximum number of losses (78.4%) observed within the HPV-16 E2 hinge region. Specifically, deletions within the E2 hinge region were detected most often between nucleotides (nt) 3243 and 3539. The capacity to detect low-frequency HPV-16 integration events was highly limited due to the common presence and abundance of HPV episomal forms. HPV-16 E2 expressed from intact episomes may act in trans to regulate integrated genome expression of E6 and E7.

HPV16 L1 and L2 DNA methylation predicts high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in women with mildly abnormal cervical cytology.

Project description:DNA methylation changes in human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) DNA are common and might be important for identifying women at increased risk of cervical cancer. Using recently published data from Costa Rica we developed a classification score to differentiate women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or 3 (CIN2/3) from those with no evident high-grade lesions. Here, we aim to investigate the performance of the score using data from the UK. Exfoliated cervical cells at baseline and 6-months follow-up were analyzed in 84 women selected from a randomized clinical trial of women undergoing surveillance for low-grade cytology. Selection of women for the methylation study was based on detectable HPV16 in the baseline sample. Purified DNA was bisulfite converted, amplified and pyrosequenced at selected CpG sites in the viral genome (URR, E6, L1 and L2), with blinding of laboratory personnel to the clinical data. The primary measure was a predefined score combining the mean methylation in L1 and any methylation in L2. At the second follow-up visit, 73/84 (87%) women were HPV16 positive and of these 25 had a histopathological diagnosis of CIN2/3. The score was significantly associated with CIN2/3 (area under curve = 0.74, p = 0.002). For a cutoff with 92% sensitivity, colposcopy could have been avoided in 40% (95% CI 27-54%) of HPV16 positive women without CIN2/3; positive predictive value was 44% (32-58%) and negative predictive value was 90% (71-97%). We conclude that quantitative DNA methylation assays could help to improve triage among HPV16 positive women.
