Article Abstract
Many authors suggest that HPV infection can play a great role in development of benign and malignant tumours of upper respiratory tract in human. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of E6/E7 HPV-16 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and normal laryngeal mucosa, and to analyse their correlation with sex, lymph node status, primary tumor stage, localization, and histological differentiation. HPV 16 DNA presence was analysed using PCR technique in 72 samples of laryngeal carcinoma and in samples of 50 normal mucosa. Human papillomavirus was detected in 26 (36.1%) of the 72 patients. There was no statistically significant correlation HPV positivity and clinicopathological features of the analysed group. In 5 (10%) of 50 samples of normal mucosal. HPV 16 presence in normal mucosa and in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was detected in 3 patients. Our observations suggest that HPV16 can play a role in pathogenesis of laryngeal cancer.

The study evaluated the efficacy of HPV 16/18 E6/E7 mRNA detection in women with abnormal cervical histology. A total of 99 cervical biopsy samples were analyzed, including 49 benign, 16 with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1), 9 with CIN2/3, and 25 with cervical cancers. Samples were tested for HPV 16/18 using both DNA and mRNA RT-PCR methods.

The E6 and E7 proteins of the high risk human papillomaviruses (HR HPVs) play a key role in the oncogenesis associated with papillomavirus infection. Data on the variability of these proteins are limited, and the factors affecting their variability are still poorly understood. We analyzed the variability of the currently known sequences of the HPV type 16 (HPV16) E6 and E7 proteins, taking into account their geographic origin and year of sample collection, as well as the direction of their evolution in the major geographic regions of the world.

In addition to chronic hrHPV anogenital infection, continuing inflammatory cervical changes are intrinsic in the development of precancerous lesions. In younger women, much of this inflammatory background parallels the progressive maturation of squamous metaplasia, often rendering treatment interventions redundant; however, patients with persistent cervical precancer, as well as those harboring invasive bacterial pathogens, might benefit from controlling the active inflammatory process by shortening the HPV natural cycle and avoiding subsequent cervical surgery. In a colposcopy population of 336 predominantly young asymptomatic individuals, we explored the impact of molecularly detected bacterial STIs on HPV DNA and APTIMA positivity rates using validated assays.

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women globally and the most prevalent cancer in developing countries, which was caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have opened up new avenues for vaccine development and pandemic preparedness with potent scalability, which may possess the potential antitumor effects of an mRNA-HPV therapeutic vaccine containing nononcogenic E6 and E7 proteins. Here, we reported a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) plus nucleic acid immunostimulators (CPG 1018 and Poly I:C) mRNA vaccine platform.

We compared the results of the Becton & Dickinson (BD) Onclarity HPV assay, on the residual baseline cervico-vaginal specimens of the NTCC2 trial, to those of the screening HPV-DNA assay (Cobas 4800 or HC2) and to cytology, p16/ki67 and E6/E7 mRNA triage results. We genotyped virtually all HPV-positive women and a consecutive sample of HPV-negatives.
