We aimed to explore the application of PAX1 methylation and human papillomavirus (HPV) E6/E7 mRNA detection in cervical cancer screening and to compare the efficacy with high-risk (HR)-HPV detection.
The cervical exfoliative cytology samples of 337 patients were collected, including 70 cases of cervical inflammation, 72 cases of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, 97 cases of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, and 98 cases of cervical carcinoma. The PAX1 gene methylation (PAX1) status was detected by multiple quantitative PCR, HPV E6/E7 mRNA (E6/E7) was detected by QuantiVirus detection, and HR-HPV (HPV) was detected by the Cobas 4800 detection system. The sensitivities, specificities, and accuracies were validated in the testing set.
The sensitivities of the HPV, HPV E6/E7, and PAX1 testing were 89.23%, 84.10%, and 86.67%, respectively, which all maintained a high level. In contrast, the specificities of the HPV, E6/E7, and PAX1 testing were only 19.10%, 37.32%, and 97.18% (in pairwise comparisons, p = 0.000). The AUC of PAX1 (0.919) was significantly larger than that of HPV (0.541) and E6/E7 detection (0.607) (p < 0.0001). In addition, the AUC areas of all combined parallel testing were lower than that of single PAX1 test (p < 0.05).
The diagnostic efficacy of E6/E7 detection and PAX1 detection was better than that of HPV detection, especially for PAX1 detection.
探讨 PAX1 甲基化和人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)E6/E7mRNA 检测在宫颈癌筛查中的应用,并与高危型(HR)HPV 检测进行比较。
收集 337 例宫颈脱落细胞学标本,包括宫颈炎 70 例、低级别鳞状上皮内病变 72 例、高级别鳞状上皮内病变 97 例和宫颈癌 98 例。采用多重实时定量 PCR 检测 PAX1 基因甲基化(PAX1)状态,采用 QuantiVirus 检测 HPV E6/E7mRNA(E6/E7),采用 Cobas 4800 检测系统检测 HR-HPV(HPV)。在检测集中验证了敏感性、特异性和准确性。
HPV、HPV E6/E7 和 PAX1 检测的敏感性分别为 89.23%、84.10%和 86.67%,均保持较高水平。相比之下,HPV、E6/E7 和 PAX1 检测的特异性仅为 19.10%、37.32%和 97.18%(两两比较,p=0.000)。PAX1 的 AUC(0.919)明显大于 HPV(0.541)和 E6/E7 检测(0.607)(p<0.0001)。此外,所有并联联合检测的 AUC 面积均低于单 PAX1 检测(p<0.05)。
E6/E7 检测和 PAX1 检测的诊断效能优于 HPV 检测,尤其是 PAX1 检测。
