Auris Nasus Larynx. 2008 Sep;35(3):357-62. doi: 10.1016/j.anl.2007.08.006. Epub 2007 Oct 30.
In this study we aimed to investigate the presence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) and human papillomavirus (HPV) in laryngeal carcinoma.
Fifty patients operated on because of laryngeal carcinoma were included in the study. Forty-seven had squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) whereas three had verrucous carcinoma. Fresh tumoral tissues, or tumoral tissues obtained from archival paraffin-embedded blocks, were examined. HHV-8 DNA and HPV DNA were detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and viral genotypes of HPV were determined via the hybrid capture method. The presence of HHV-8 DNA and HPV DNA were also investigated in normal appearing laryngeal tissue collected from 50 cadavers at autopsy.
HPV DNA was detected in seven patients (7/50; 14%) (5 out of 47 patients with SCC (5/47; 10.6%) and two out of three patients with verrucous carcinoma). HHV-8 DNA was detected in five patients and they all had SCC (5/47; 10.6%). One case had both HHV-8 and HPV DNA. None of the control samples from cadavers harbored HHV-8 DNA, or HPV DNA. There was a statistically significant correlation between HHV-8 DNA and HPV DNA positivity and laryngeal SCC (Fisher exact test; p=0.023 for each). No statistically significant correlations were found between the presence of HHV-8 and/or HPV and age, gender, tumor stage, differentiation, the site of the tumor, smoking and alcohol use.
The findings of the present study suggest that beside HPV, HHV-8 might have a role in laryngeal carcinogenesis. Further investigations are necessary to clarify the exact role of these viruses in laryngeal carcinoma.
在本研究中,我们旨在调查喉癌中人类疱疹病毒8型(HHV-8)和人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)的存在情况。
本研究纳入了50例因喉癌接受手术的患者。其中47例为鳞状细胞癌(SCC),3例为疣状癌。对新鲜肿瘤组织或从存档石蜡包埋块中获取的肿瘤组织进行检查。使用聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测HHV-8 DNA和HPV DNA,并通过杂交捕获法确定HPV的病毒基因型。还对50例尸体解剖时收集的外观正常的喉组织进行HHV-8 DNA和HPV DNA检测。
7例患者(7/50;14%)检测到HPV DNA(47例SCC患者中有5例(5/47;10.6%),3例疣状癌患者中有2例)。5例患者检测到HHV-8 DNA,且均为SCC(5/47;10.6%)。1例患者同时检测到HHV-8和HPV DNA。尸体对照样本中均未检测到HHV-8 DNA或HPV DNA。HHV-8 DNA和HPV DNA阳性与喉SCC之间存在统计学显著相关性(Fisher精确检验;两者p均=0.023)。未发现HHV-8和/或HPV的存在与年龄、性别、肿瘤分期、分化程度、肿瘤部位、吸烟和饮酒之间存在统计学显著相关性。
本研究结果表明,除HPV外,HHV-8可能在喉癌发生中起作用。需要进一步研究以阐明这些病毒在喉癌中的确切作用。
