Abstract
AIM: To investigate the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) HPV16/18 E6 oncogene in the carcinogenesis of esophageal cell carcinoma (ESCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Tissue microarray (TMA) block was constructed from 60 cases of paraffin-embedded ESCC tissues and pair-matched controls (adjacent normal epithelium). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) methods were applied to detect the expression of HPV16/18 E6, p53, p21(WAF1), MDM2, Ki67 and cyclin D1 proteins on TMA slides. In situ hybridization (ISH) targeting HPV gene was also used. RESULTS: In ESCC samples, 18.3% (11/60) were revealed HPV16/18 E6 positive by IHC, while 40.0% (24/60) HPV positive by ISH; HPV16/18 E6 expression was significantly higher than that of control samples. In ESCC samples, the expressions of p53, p21(WAF1), Cyclin D1, MDM2 and Ki67 were recorded in 60.0% (36/60), 40.0% (24/60), 51.7% (31/60), 65.0% (39/60) and 88.3% (53/60) cases respectively, In ESCC samples, p53, MDM2 and Ki67 expression correlated with the HPV16/18 E6 expression (p less, similar 0.01), p21(WAF1) expression - with these of MDM2 and cyclin D1 (p less, similar 0.01) whilst expression of Ki67 - with ESCC grade (p less, similar 0.01). CONCLUSION: HPV might be one of etiological factor of esophageal carcinoma in Shantou, China. p53, MDM2 proteins may play important roles in the pathogenesis of HPV-associated ESCC.
