Resumen:
Introduction: Many reports indicate involvement of
HPV, particularly the type 16, in a subset of head and neck squamous cell
carcinoma (HNSCC). However, most of these studies were concentrated on the
identification of only specific mucosal high-risk types of the genus alpha-papillomavirus.
The aim of our study was to identify a broader spectrum of HPV types by
different methods.
Materials and Methods: A total of 65 subjects were
recruited and categorized in 3 groups: pre-malignant lesions (group A), oral
carcinomas (group B) and health controls (group C). All subjects were tested
using 2 assays for mostly Alpha
HPV detection. Both assays were based in the MY09/11 primer system but had
different detection strategies: i) the L1HPVPCR assay that combines liquid
hybridization with generic and specific probes and
EIA for detection and typing and ii) HPV M based on the direct
sequencing of the amplified products. In addition, all samples were further
tested with two other assays for mostly beta HPV: HPV C, based on CP primer
amplified products subjected to direct sequencing and the CUT primers system
based on single tube hanging droplet nested PCR technique
with original designed primer (Chouhy et al. Virology 2010)
Results: Comparison between the assays for mucosal HPV
detection had a general concordance of 65%. Only one patient was positive by
the HPV M assay, corresponding to HPV-6. HPV infection was detected in 34% of
patients by the L1HPVPCR assay, being the HPV-16 the most frequent type. On the
other hand, HPV infection was detected in 57% of patients by the HPV C assay,
being the HPV-20 the most frequent type. Data on the CUT assay will be
disclosed.
Conclusions:
Despite the weak concordance among the utilized methods, mostly accounted for
difference in the detection procedures (sequencing versus hybridization),
nevertheless our data indicates the presence of beta and alpha HPV into the
oral cavity. At the light of this observation, any further study on the HPV
infection of oral cavity should be performed by methods able to detect large
number of different mucosal and cutaneous HPV. Grants: MINCyT-MAE (IT/08/11)
