Prevalence and pattern of human papillomavirus infection in females, with cytology correlation: the Hong KongexperienceYan, Chun-kit., 甄俊傑. January 2012 (has links)
Objectives
To analyze the prevalence and pattern of HPV infection in women of different age groups in Hong Kong, with respect to liquid-based cytologic diagnosis.
Materials and Methods
A total of 2,055 liquid-based gynecologic cytology cases using either SurePath or ThinPrep during the period from July 1, 2007 to July 31, 2012 were retrieved from the archival files of CH Pathology Limited for retrospective analysis. Cytologic diagnosis was first given. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping was subsequently performed in cases either as requested simultaneously by gynecologists or if the cytologic diagnosis was “atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US)” or above. IBM SPSS statistics 20 was used for data analysis and assessment of possible statistical significance.
Results
The overall prevalence of HPV infection in the studied population was 67.7%, with 37.2% cases with “negative” cytologic findings being HPV positive. Cases with “lowgrade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL)”, “atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC-H)” and “high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL)” were highly associated with HPV infection (97.8%, 91.5% and 98.4%, respectively). Amongst the “ASC-H” and “HSIL” cases, most of them were shown to harbor high-risk HPV DNA (87.2% and 93.4%, respectively).
The overall prevalence of HPV infection was higher in women younger than 25 years and in women older than 54 years, with the peak at post-menopausal age group. The patterns for infection by single HPV genotype or high-risk HPV genotype(s) alone were similar to the overall pattern, with the first peak at women younger than 25 years, followed by a drop at aged 25 to 34 and rebound again when age afterward. As for infection by multiple HPV genotypes or low-risk HPV genotype(s) alone, the patterns were less consistent.
Amongst all the HPV-positive cases, the commonest high-risk HPV genotypes were type 52 and type 16. HPV type 62 and type 81 represented the commonest low-risk HPV genotypes detected in the population studied. Infection by other HPV genotypes showed various patterns in different age groups.
Conclusions
The overall prevalence of HPV infection in Hong Kong females correlates with age of the patients and corresponding cytologic diagnosis. Women younger than 25 years and older than 54 years are more likely to harbor HPV. The patterns of HPV infection in local patients can be useful in future preventive measures such as vaccination. / published_or_final_version / Medical Sciences / Master / Master of Medical Sciences

子宮頸癌是全球女性中第三常見的癌症。人類乳頭瘤狀病毒(HPV)已被證實為引致子宮頸癌的主要因素。目前已發現了150多種HPV。HPV-52在世界上較為少見,但在亞洲,特別是東亞地區,卻相當流行。 / 本回顧性研究收集了303個HPV-52陽性的子宮頸樣本,其中185個來自香港,118個來自韓國首爾。我們通過對HPV基因組中E6、E7、L1和LCR區域進行擴增和測序,以檢測HPV-52變異株的序列多樣性和致癌風險。 / L1-LCR-E6-E7串聯片段佔據了HPV-52基因組全長的41%。由191條該種序列構建的系統發育樹顯示,HPV-52變異株進化成四個世系。原型系A進化系在香港和首爾都很少見,只占全部樣本的3.7%。B進化系(89.5%)則是最普遍的HPV-52病毒系。E6的最大序列差異為1.6%,L1(2.3%),E7(3.4%)和LCR(4.8%)依次增大。因此,E6作為最保守的基因組區域可作為HPV-52通用引物PCR的靶點,而E7更適宜作為特定變異株的PCR靶點。此外,在短片段序列中發現了可識別HPV-52進化系和進化枝的單核苷酸突變。它們可用於擴增斷裂的DNA片段或大規模實驗中。再者,進化壓力分析顯示E6、E7和L1三個編碼區域都經歷了強烈的淨化選擇作用。 / HPV-52進化系和常見變異株在香港和首爾的分佈情況沒有顯著差異。但E6中的nt 356G>A、nt 378A>C和nt 467C>A (N122K) 核苷酸突變只出現在香港樣本,而L1的nt 6239G>A以及LCR的nt 7395G>A和nt 7911A>C核苷酸突變只在首爾樣本中發現。HPV-52 E6的N122K突變對子宮頸癌有較高的致癌風險(P-value = 0.002)。E6中的nt 378A>C (P-value = 0.014) 同義突變, 以及LCR中的nt 7665G>A (P-value < 0.001)和nt 94G>A (P-value = 0.007)突變,亦與高致癌風險相關。LCR中的nt 7911A>C (P-value = 0.007)和nt 19T>C (P-value = 0.008) 突變則對子宮頸癌的發展有較低風險。HPV-52 E7或L1中的突變與子宮頸癌的發展無明顯關係。上述結果需要通過進一步研究證實。針對HPV-52序列變異的病毒學和作用機理的深入研究是必要的。 / Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer in women worldwide. It has been proven that human papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary causative agent of cervical cancer. To date, more than 150 HPV types have been characterized. HPV-52 is rare around the world but frequently detected in Asia, especially East Asia. / This retrospective study analyzed 303 cervical samples that 185 were collected from Hong Kong, and 118 were collected from Seoul, Korea. All samples were positive for HPV-52. HPV gene regions of E6, E7, L1 and LCR were amplified and sequenced to determine sequence diversity and risk association of HPV-52 variants between the two cities. / The 191 concatenated L1-LCR-E6-E7 sequences that comprised 41% of the whole HPV-52 genome displayed four distinct clusters. The prototype-like lineage A was rare in both cities, only found in 3.7% of all samples. Lineage B (89.5%) was found to be the most prevalent lineage. The maximum sequence divergence of E6 was 1.6%, followed by L1 (2.3%), E7 (3.4%) and LCR (4.8%). E6 being the most conserved region could be a target for HPV-52 consensus PCR, and E7 could be a target for variant-specific PCR. Besides, several single-nucleotide substitutions diagnostic for HPV-52 lineage and clade classification were identified within a few short fragments. They might be useful when handling fragmented DNA and being a more feasible approach in large-scale studies. Moreover, analysis of evolutionary pressure indicated that all the three encoding regions, E6, E7 and L1, underwent strong purifying selection. / No significant difference in the distribution pattern of HPV-52 lineages and common variants between Hong Kong and Seoul was observed. But nucleotide substitutions nt 356G>A, nt 378A>C and nt 467C>A (N122K) were only found in Hong Kong samples; whereas nt 6239G>A, nt 7395G>A and nt 7911A>C were exclusively found in samples from Seoul. A significantly higher risk for cervical cancer was found for the HPV-52 E6 variant N122K (P-value = 0.002). A synonymous substitution of E6, nt 378A>C (P-value = 0.014), as well as two nucleotide substitutions of LCR, nt 7665G>A (P-value < 0.001) and nt 94G>A (P-value = 0.007), were also associated with a significant increase in risk for cervical cancer. Two substitutions found to confer a lower risk for cervical cancer were nt 7911A>C (P-value = 0.007) and nt 19T>C (P-value = 0.008), both of which located at LCR. No significant associations between HPV-52 E7 or L1 variants and cervical cancer development were observed. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings, and in-depth investigations into the virological and functional implications of HPV-52 sequence variations are warranted. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Zhang, Chuqing. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 124-137). / Abstracts also in Chinese. / Abstract --- p.i / Acknowledgements --- p.v / Table of contents --- p.vii / List of Figures --- p.ix / List of Tables --- p.x / Abbreviations --- p.xii / Chapter Chapter One --- Introduction --- p.1 / Chapter 1.1 --- History of Human Papillomavirus --- p.2 / Chapter 1.2 --- Biology of Human Papillomavirus --- p.4 / Chapter 1.2.1 --- Genome structure --- p.4 / Chapter 1.2.2 --- Protein function --- p.6 / Chapter 1.2.3 --- Latent and lytic life cycle --- p.9 / Chapter 1.2.4 --- Classification --- p.10 / Chapter 1.3 --- Epidemiology of Human Papillomavirus --- p.14 / Chapter 1.3.1 --- Global burden --- p.14 / Chapter 1.3.2 --- Transmission --- p.18 / Chapter 1.3.3 --- Clinical course --- p.19 / Chapter 1.3.4 --- Prevention --- p.23 / Chapter 1.4 --- Human Papillomavirus Type 52 --- p.25 / Chapter 1.5 --- Objectives --- p.26 / Chapter Chapter Two --- Materials and Methods --- p.27 / Chapter 2.1 --- Study Design --- p.28 / Chapter 2.2 --- Study population --- p.29 / Chapter 2.3 --- DNA extraction --- p.31 / Chapter 2.4 --- Polymerase chain reaction --- p.32 / Chapter 2.4.1 --- Long-fragment PCR approach --- p.33 / Chapter 2.4.2 --- Short-fragment PCR approach --- p.40 / Chapter 2.4.3 --- Purification of PCR products --- p.46 / Chapter 2.5 --- Nucleotide sequencing --- p.47 / Chapter 2.6 --- Data analysis --- p.48 / Chapter 2.6.1 --- Phylogenetic analysis --- p.48 / Chapter 2.6.2 --- Statistical analysis --- p.49 / Chapter Chapter Three --- Results --- p.50 / Chapter 3.1 --- Phylogeny of HPV-52 --- p.53 / Chapter 3.1.1 --- Concatenated sequence of L1-LCR-E6-E7 --- p.53 / Chapter 3.1.2 --- E6 gene --- p.56 / Chapter 3.1.3 --- E7 gene --- p.59 / Chapter 3.1.4 --- L1 gene --- p.62 / Chapter 3.1.5 --- Long control region --- p.67 / Chapter 3.2 --- Nucleotide sequence variation of HPV-52 --- p.70 / Chapter 3.2.1 --- E6 gene --- p.70 / Chapter 3.2.2 --- E7 gene --- p.73 / Chapter 3.2.3 --- L1 gene --- p.75 / Chapter 3.2.4 --- Long control region --- p.81 / Chapter 3.3 --- Geographical distribution of HPV-52 variants --- p.86 / Chapter 3.4 --- Risk association of HPV-52 variants --- p.96 / Chapter Chapter Four --- Discussion --- p.105 / Chapter 4.1 --- Strengths and weaknesses --- p.107 / Chapter 4.2 --- Phylogeny of HPV-52 variants --- p.109 / Chapter 4.2.1 --- Variant lineage classification system of HPV-52 --- p.109 / Chapter 4.2.2 --- Sequence variability of HPV-52 --- p.110 / Chapter 4.2.3 --- Evolutionary pressure on HPV-52 --- p.111 / Chapter 4.3 --- Nucleotide sequence variations of HPV-52 --- p.113 / Chapter 4.3.1 --- E6 gene --- p.113 / Chapter 4.3.2 --- E7 gene --- p.114 / Chapter 4.3.3 --- L1 gene --- p.116 / Chapter 4.3.4 --- Long control region --- p.117 / Chapter 4.4 --- Conclusions --- p.121 / References --- p.124 / Appendices --- p.138
