چکیده

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 and -18 encode E6 oncoprotein, which binds to and induces degradation of the tumor suppressor protein p53. A common polymorphism of p53, encoding either proline or arginine at position 72, affects the susceptibility of p53 to E6-mediated degradation in vivo; Caucasian women homozygous for arginine 72 reportedly are about seven times more susceptible to HPV-associated carcinoma of the cervix than heterozygotes. To examine whether arginine 72 could be a risk factor for HPV-associated cervical carcinomas in the Japanese population, we used the same PCR-based assay to analyze p53 genotypes of HPV-positive invasive cervical carcinomas from 103 Japanese women versus 110 control samples. Inasmuch as we detected no significant difference in the frequencies of proline or arginine alleles between the two groups, p53 polymorphism at residue 72 does not seem to be involved in the development of HPV-associated cervical carcinomas in women of Japanese ethnicity.

Relevant Allelic Frequency of Gene Polymorphism and Genetic Predisposition of Human Papillomavirus in Patients with Cervical Cancer

Backround: The present study investigated the correlation between p53 gene codon 72 polymorphism and 6 other genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in patients with cervical cancer infected by HPV. Methods: 450 patients with cervical cancer (280 Squamous cell carcinoma and 170 Adenocarcinoma) were followed at hospitals in Iran from Dec. 2014 to Apr. 2015. Moreover, 100 age/sex-matche...

p53 polymorphism in human papillomavirus-associated esophageal cancer.

Human papillomavirus type 16/18 (HPV-16/18) is implicated in the pathogenesis of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the cervix and esophagus. The arginine allele at codon 72 of p53 was found to be more susceptible to degradation by HPV E6 protein than is the proline allele in vivo, thus resulting in a high frequency of cervical SCC in individuals homozygous for arginine at the codon. There are co...

Infection of human papillomavirus type 18 and p53 codon 72 polymorphism in lung cancer patients from India.

STUDY OBJECTIVES Infection with specific high-risk HPV types 16 and 18 and polymorphism of p53 codon 72 has been strongly associated with the genesis of various neoplasms in humans, but such study in lung cancer is limited and the results are controversial. In India, the role of these two factors has been strongly implicated in cervical and other cancers, but the occurrence of HPV or p53 codon ...

p53 Codon 72 polymorphism, loss of heterozygosity and high-risk human papillomavirus infection in a low-incidence German esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patient cohort.

Epidemiological studies in endemic geographic regions for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) suggested a number of risk factors, including modifications of the p53 tumor suppressor by codon Arg72Pro polymorphism, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or human papillomavirus type 16 or 18 (HPV 16/18) infection. The p53 Arg72 variant has been suggested to be a high-risk factor in HPV-associated tum...
