Association study of cell cycle proteins and human papillomavirus in laryngeal cancer in Chinese population
2019
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and analyse the relationship between HPV and the expression of cell cycle-related proteins. DESIGN: The study consisted of LSCC between 2005 and 2011 in Tongren Hospital. Clinical data such as age, sex, smoking/alcohol consumption, and TNM stage were collected. HPV DNA and cell cycle-related proteins were assessed in terms of clinical features. SETTING: Single-centre study. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 332 LSCC patients were included in the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The presence of genotype-specific HPV DNA was evaluated using PCR-RDB in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. All samples were also evaluated for p16INK4A , p21WAF1/CIP1 , P53, Cyclin D1, and Ki67 immunohistochemical staining by tissue microarray. RESULTS: HPV DNA was detected in 45 of 332 (13.55%) patients with LSCC, with HPV-16 being the predominant genotype. The presence of HPV-16 DNA was significantly associated with basaloid squamous cell carcinoma and cystic lymph node metastasis (P 0.05). CONCLUSION: HPV DNA was detected in 13.55% patients with LSCC, with HPV-16 being the predominant genotype and it was correlated with p16INK4A and manifested a higher Ki-67 labelling index and p21WAF1/CIP1 expression than HPV-16-negative tumours.
