The expression of p16 (INK4a) and Ki-67 in relation to high-risk human papilloma viral load and residual disease after conization with positive margins

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlations between high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) load and p16 (INK4a) or Ki-67, and to identify biomarkers that may predict residual disease after conization with positive margins. The following samples were analyzed: 49 paraffin-embedded specimens from patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), including 12 CIN 2 conization specimens and 37 CIN 3 conization specimens. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed with antibodies to p16 (INK4a… Show more

“…Some researchers hypothesized that the p16 overexpression may be due to the removal of p16 inhibition by pRb, which is degraded by E7 through a ubiquitin-dependent proteinase system. 22-24 Several 17,25 These findings indirectly supported the hypothesis. In the current study, p16 expression increased in patients with high-risk HPV infection.…”

“…The inactivation of pRb by E7 causes p16 overexpression because p16 is regulated by the negative feedback of pRb [22]. Previous studies reported that p16 is associated with high-risk HPV infection and that p16 expression increases in patients infected with high-risk HPV [6,23]. We also found a signifi cant association between high-risk HPV infection and p16 expression.…”

“…Therefore, upregulation of P16 and Ki-67 indicated infection with HR-HPV. This observation may provide a basis for the early diagnosis of cervical lesions and was consistent with a previous report (34,36).…”
