Detection of Human Papillomavirus DNA in Squamous Papilloma of the Larynx by In Situ Hybridization

چکیده
=Abstract=ln situ hybridization using digoxigenin labeled HPV(human papillornaviruses) probes was tried in order to detect the presence of HPV DNA in 27 cases of single and multiple laryngeal papilloma. There were HPV6/11 DNA signals in 17 out of 22 cases of multiple laryngeal papilloma and in all five cases of single laryngeal papilloma. The specific signals were seen focally in the nuclei of superficial epithelial cells. None of the cases was positive for HPVI6/18. There was no cross hybridization between HPV6/11 and HPV16/18 under the stringent conditions used in these experiments. So it could be said that HPV6/11-related sequences were found in laryngeal papillomas.

Presence of human papillomavirus type 16 related sequences in verrucous carcinoma of the larynx.
Verrucous carcinoma of the larynx clinically resembles laryngeal papilloma in that both are wart-like masses on the vocal cords and may be characterized by multifocality and recurrence. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is an etiological factor in laryngeal papilloma, and recent evidence implicates HPV in squamous neoplasias. To determine whether HPV is also associated with verrucous carcino...
متن کاملDetection of Human Papillomavirus DNA by PCR in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma from Turkmen Sahra, North-East of Iran
Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA has been identified in esophageal carcinomas. However, the incidence of HPV varies significantly in different geographical locations. In this study, neoplasms from Turkmen Sahra, a region in Golestan province in northeast part of Iran, with a high incidence of squamous cell carcinoma were analyzed for the presence of HPV DNA. Turkmen Sahra is located in the cancer...

Introduction: The human papilloma virus (HPV) can play a role in the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Our aim was to assess the prevalence of HPV DNA in SCC of the larynx. The impact of HPV infection on patient survival was also evaluated. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was performed in 44 patients with SCC of the larynx (case group), while the contro...

Background and objective: Oral tongue Squamous Cell carcinoma (SCC) commonly involves males between the sixth to eighth decades of life. Major risk factors are tobacco usage and alcohol consumption. The increasing number of patients developing oral tongue cancer without these well-known risk factors suggests that a viral infection, such as Human Papil...
متن کاملDetection of Human Papillomavirus in Osophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma samples in Mazandaran Province, Iran
We examined 170 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. All subjects live in Mazandaran province, a region with high incidence rate of esophageal cancer and have become known as the “Asian Esophageal Cancer Belt”. Samples were tested for HPV-DNA by MY09/11 and Gp5+/6+ general primers using nested PCR. Of the 170 ESCC samples, 86 (50.6%) were ma...
