Abstract

Background and Objectives : p53 is a tumor suppressor gene. Loss of function of the p53 tumor suppressor gene implicated in a wide variety of human tumors. Many mechanisms are involved in p53 dysfunction. One of the mechanisms is binding of oncogenic virus such as human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV infection are strongly linked to the development of cervical neoplasia including cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) of uterine cervix The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between aberrant p53 expression and presence of HPV DNA in CIN of the uterine cervix.
Materials and Methods : In the present study, the author analyzed 35 cases of paraffin-embedded CIN, including 10 cases of grade 1, 10 cases of grade Ⅱ, and 15 cases of grade Ⅲ CIN by the immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization.
Results : Overall positive rate of HPV DNA type 16 and type 18 was 74.3% (26 cases) and 65,7% (23 cases), respectively. Nuclear accumulation of p53 was found in 22 cases (62.9%) of all CIN. In negative cases of HPV DNA type 16, the p53 was positive in 18 cases and negative in 8 cases. In positive cases of HPV DNA type 18, the p53 was positive in 16 cases and negative in 7 cases. In negative cases of HPV DNA type 16, the pS5 was positive in 6 cases and negative in 6cases.
Conclusion : This results suggest that HPV infection may contribute to the DNA damage associated with the accumulation of aberrant p53 protein, and then closely relate to the progression of cervical neoplasms. But, alteration of p53 Protein levels and presence of HPY DNA was not an exclusive markers of cervical tumorigenesis.
