The cervical inflammation specimens, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia specimens and cervical cancer specimens were included in inflammation group, CIN group and malignant group respectively. HPV-DNA typing detection kits were used to determine HPV typing, immunohistochemical kits were used to determine MEKK3 and NF-κB protein expression, and fluorescent quantitative PCR kits were used to determine the mRNA expression of MEKK3, NF-κB and downstream molecules.Results: MEKK3 and NF-κB protein expression in high-risk HPV-positive cervical tissue were significantly higher than those in high-risk HPV-negative cervical tissue (P<0.05), and MEKK3, NF-κB, Bcl-2, XIAP, Bmi-1, TGF-β and Vimentin mRNA expression in high-risk type HPV-positive cervical tissue were significantly higher than those in high-risk HPV-negative cervical tissue (P<0.05);Bcl-2, XIAP, Bmi-1, TGF-β and Vimentin mRNA expression in tissue with positive MEKK3 and NF-κB expression were significantly higher than those in tissue with negative MEKK3 and NF-κB expression (P<0.05).Conclusions:High-risk HPV infection will increase the expression of proliferation genes Bcl-2, XIAP and Bmi-1 as well as invasion genes TGF-β and Vimentin in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia tissue through MEKK3/NF-κB pathway.展开更多

Persistent high-risk Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is the main underlying cause of cervical cancer and its precursor, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Objective: The aim of the study was to identify the subtypes of high-risk HPV infection among women with the colposcopic diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Bangladesh. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the colposcopy clinic of Dhaka Medical College Hospital over a six-month period. A total of 100 participants were enrolled. Married women, between 30 - 60 years of age with colposcopically diagnosed cervical intra epithelial neoplasia were enrolled. Women with chronic illness, pregnancy, and women unable to consent were excluded from this study. After counselling, colposcopically directed punch biopsies were taken from each CIN case concurrently with high-risk HPV testing by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: The mean age of the patients was 38.69 (SD ±7.76) years. CIN 1 was diagnosed in 57% of participants, while 24% had CIN II and 19% had CIN III lesions. High-risk HPV was present in 52 patients. HPV 16 was the most common identified in 28 (53.84%) and HPV 18 was the second most common with 20 (38.46%) either singly or in combination with other high-risk subtypes. The other HPV strains, HPV 31, 33, 35, 52, 56 and 58, were also detected either as mono or co-infections. Out of the 52 HPV positive cases, 29 (55.8%) had mono infection and 23 (44.2%) had co-infection with several subtypes. The highest incidence (50%) of oncogenic HPV infections was present among women aged 35 - 45 years. Risk factors associated with HPV positive cases were high parity (P 0.05), early age at marriage (P = 0.754) and early age of first child. Conclusion: This study identified a high prevalence of HPV 16 and 18 genotypes. HPV vaccination with the current 9-valent HPV vaccine, which contains HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. Will be an effective public health measure to eradicate cervical cancer in Bangladesh.展开更多

Knowledge of this will help in some cervical cancer interventions such as vaccine administration. This study aimed at determining the prevalence of cervical HPV infection among women attending a tertiary hospital in Awka, Nigeria. To evaluate cervical HPV Infections, cervical samples were collected over a period of 1 year from 405 consenting women. Multiplex PCR and cytology were used in the study. Semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain the demographic characteristics of the participants. Statistical analysis was done using IBM SPSS statistics version 21. The findings showed that of the 405 women, 387 (94.4%) had normal cytology, and 18 (4.4%) had Low-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (LSIL). There was no High-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (HSIL). HPV prevalence of (79) 19.5% was obtained overall in the 405 women, (75 of 387) 19.4% with normal cytology, (4 of 18) 22.2% with LSIL. Age specific prevalence peaked at age group 30 - 39 and a second peak at 60 - 69. HPV types obtained were HPV 16 31 (7.7%), HPV 18 24 (5.9%), HPV 35 3 (0.7%), HPV 33 9 (2.2%), HPV 68 3 (0.7%) and multiple infections (9) 2.2%. HPV 16 was the only type found in LSIL. Regular HPV typing and screening of our women for HPV infection and Pap’s smear can go a long way in the reduction of cervical cancer.展开更多
