Human papillomavirus genotypes in women with cervical cytological abnormalities from an area with high incidence of cervical cancer

Abstract: It has been well demonstrated the relationship between the infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPVs) genotypes and cervical cancer. In Northeastern Argentina a high incidence of this pathology has been described and therefore a high prevalence of HPV infection is expected. In order to identify HPV genotypes associated with malignant and pre-malignant cervical lesions present in the area, 53 ecto-endo cervical cell specimens obtained from women with cytohistological alterations were studied by a PCR-… Show more

“…Some prevalence studies have indicated that the DNA of HPV 52 is present in approximately 2% of all cases of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions 28,29 and that the presence of HPV 58 for these lesions ranges from 6% to 20%, which is the range within which these genotypes were detected in our work 13,24,25,26 .…”

“…Following infection by HPV, oncoproteins from the virus integrate with the tumor suppressor proteins p53 and pRb, which in turn alter the function of oncoproteins, thereby resulting in uncontrolled transcription activity, abnormal DNA replication and cell division, hence leading to tumor formation. 38 Our results showed that the women with HPV infection had an elevated frequency of micronuclei in relation to the control group. In our study, HPV status was compared with a variety of risk factors for cervical cancer and the results were concordant with the literature.…”

“…Corroborando com esses achados, Câmara et al 20 , em Brasília, e De Luca et al 21 25 encontraram HPV de tipo 16 em 60,4% das mulheres com câncer cervical, em hospital de referência, em Belém/PA, utilizando técnica de PCR em material colhido por biópsia dirigida por colposcopia. Convém observar que esses autores estudaram a frequência de HPV 16 em grupos de mulheres com lesões mais graves, enquanto o trabalho ora apresentado considera todas as anormalidades citopatológicas, na sua análise, das quais somente 12 se apresentavam com HSIL ou lesão maior.…”
