The association between human papillomavirus (HPV) and anogenital tumors, especially cervical cancer, is well documented. However, it remains unclear whether there is also a correlation between HPV infection and human breast cancer.
We used PCR and Southern blot hybridization to analyze HPV-related DNA specimens from 32 cases of invasive ductal carcinoma operated upon in the Shanghai region of China.
DNA derived from HPV33 was detected in 14 cases (43.8%). No HPV16 or HPV18 DNA was detected in any of the cases in this study. This is the first report demonstrating a correlation between HPV33 infection and breast cancer.
Our results suggest that HPV33 infection may be involved in the pathogenesis of breast cancer in Chinese.
人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)与肛门生殖器肿瘤,尤其是宫颈癌之间的关联已有充分记录。然而,HPV感染与人类乳腺癌之间是否也存在相关性仍不清楚。
我们使用聚合酶链反应(PCR)和Southern印迹杂交技术,对来自中国上海地区32例浸润性导管癌手术切除标本中的HPV相关DNA进行分析。
在14例(43.8%)病例中检测到源自HPV33的DNA。本研究中所有病例均未检测到HPV16或HPV18 DNA。这是首份证明HPV33感染与乳腺癌之间存在相关性的报告。
我们的结果表明,HPV33感染可能参与中国人乳腺癌的发病机制。
