karyotypic analysis of two related cervical carcinoma cell lines that contain human papillomavirus type 18 dna and express divergent differentiation.the cell lines c-4i and c-4ii were established in culture from a nonkeratinizing squamous carcinoma of the uterine cervix. both lines contain human papillomavirus (hpv) type 18 dna (brandt et al., cold spring harbor laboratories, 5:179, 1987) and both are hypodiploid with similar, but not identical, karyotypes. each line expresses multiple characteristics of ectocervical epithelial differentiation, but the characteristics differ between the lines. in the present study, g banding of the lines sho ...19892540900
an atypical case of penile carcinoma in situ associated with human papillomavirus dna type 18.we report an unusual case of penile carcinoma in situ in a heterosexual man. the histologic study showed a severe dysplasia, and the typing of human papillomavirus dna, performed at the pasteur institute, disclosed a type 18, which is usually associated with penile and cervical carcinomas. the identification of an oncogenic human papillomavirus type in the penile lesions, such as type 18 found in this case, should lead to a search for cervical carcinoma in the sexual partner.19892541182
pills, partners and preventive prospects: in-situ cancer of the cervix.australian women face a lifetime risk of dying of cervical cancer of 1 in 250. current epidemiological evidence suggests that the age at 1st sexual intercourse and the number of sexual partners are important risk factors for cervical carcinogenesis. other risk factors for invasive cervical cancer include cigarette smoking, deficiencies of dietary and plasma micronutrients, and oral contraceptive (oc) use. the recently documented increased risk of invasive cervical cancer associated with longt ...19892541323
colposcopy of condylomatous men.the male partners of women diagnosed with human papilloma virus (hpv) or dysplasia were examined colposcopically. anogenital infection was found in 82% of the men, and dysplasia in two of the partners of dysplastic women. men may not be merely asymptomatic carriers of hpv.19892541328
human papillomavirus infection and cervical cancer in latin america.to evaluate a possible association between infection with human papillomavirus (hpv) and cervical cancer, we performed a multicenter case-control study in latin america of 759 cases of invasive cervical cancer and 1467 randomly selected age-matched controls. demographic, sexual, behavioral, and other clinical data were obtained by interview, and hpv dna was assayed in cervical-swab specimens with use of filter in situ hybridization. cervical infection with hpv 16 or 18 or both was strongly assoc ...19892541336
dna of human papillomavirus type 16 in dysplastic and malignant lesions of the conjunctiva and cornea.human papillomaviruses are receiving attention for their role in the pathogenesis of cancer, especially cancer of the anogenital tract. although strains of human papillomavirus are associated with benign lesions of the conjunctiva, their association with conjunctival dysplastic lesions and carcinomas has remained unclear. we examined a group of neoplastic lesions of the conjunctiva for the presence of dna sequences for human papillomavirus types 16 and 18, using in vitro gene amplification with ...19892541337
induction of human cervical squamous cell carcinoma by sequential transfection with human papillomavirus 16 dna and viral harvey ras.clinical and epidemiological data are consistent with the hypothesis that human papillomaviruses (hpvs) are a factor in genital, particularly cervical cancer. although hpv16 and 18 are found primarily in cervical malignancy, the transfection of hpv16 or 18 dna into cervical cells results in immortalization but not tumorigenicity. the addition of activated ha-ras, an oncogene found in some cervical cancers expressing hpv16 or 18, to hpv16-immortalized human cervical cells results in malignancy as ...19892541388
successive steps in the process of immortalization identified by transfer of separate bovine papillomavirus genes into rat fibroblasts.transfer of neor and bovine papillomavirus type 1 (bpv1) dna into rat embryo fibroblasts led to colony formation in g418-containing medium, with no detectable background in controls with neor dna alone. more than 50% of the drug-resistant clones could be further propagated in culture. the genetic functions of bpv1 involved in colony formation and in long-term immortalization were investigated by both translation termination mutations in the full-length genome, which inactivate individual open re ...19892541438
identification of dna-protein interactions and enhancer activity at the 5' end of the upstream regulatory region in human papillomavirus type 11.we have examined the 5' end of the noncoding region of the genome of a human papillomavirus, hpv-11, for regulatory elements using permissive host cells. this region of unknown function in the upstream regulatory region (urr) is known to have unusual dna structure and frequently contains rearrangements which are associated with some more virulent isolates. this 5' 269-bp fragment was found to exhibit both specific dna-protein binding using laryngeal papilloma protein extracts and enhancer activi ...19892541536
human papillomavirus type 16 e7 protein expressed in escherichia coli and monkey cos-1 cells: immunofluorescence detection of the nuclear e7 protein.human papillomavirus type 16 e7 protein, expressed in escherichia coli as fusion protein lac alpha peptide-e7 (lac-e7), was purified by electrophoresis and used to immunize rabbits to raise antisera. the anti-lac-e7 sera recognized another bacterially expressed fusion protein trpe-e7 by the western blot method. the antisera were used to identify e7 protein transiently expressed in monkey cos-1 cells from an sv40-derived expression plasmid containing e7 gene. like the e7 protein from caski cells, ...19892541550
macrophage killing of human papillomavirus type 16-transformed cells.papillomaviruses (hpv) are involved in proliferation of epithelial cells and are implicated in several human malignancies. we determined the capability of activated macrophages to exert cytostatic and/or cytolytic activities against hpv type 16 dna-transformed cells. both nih-3t3 and a31-3t3 cells transformed with hpv dna were susceptible to killing by activated macrophages; however, transformed and nontransformed cells were not susceptible to killing by soluble mediators. the hpv-transformed ce ...19892541555
detection of the human papillomavirus 6b e2 gene product in genital condyloma and laryngeal papilloma tissues.we have previously reported that the e2 open reading frame of human papillomavirus type 6b (hpv6b) was expressed in bombyx mori cell line bm-n as a fusion protein with baculovirus polyhedrin. here we show that antibody against this e2-polyhedrin fusion protein recognized a putative gene product as a 49-kda protein in some genital condyloma and laryngeal papilloma tissues, which were associated with hpv6 and hpv11, by immunoblotting analysis. the antibody reacted also with antigens in the nucleus ...19892541557
juvenile and adult laryngeal papillomata: classification by in-situ hybridization for human papillomavirus.we report the application of an in-situ hybridization technique for the demonstration of human papillomavirus (hpv) employing a biotin-streptavidin-polyalkaline phosphatase complex to paraffin processed tissue from a series of patients with laryngeal papillomata. all cases of juvenile papillomata, whether solitary or multiple, proved positive for hpv types 6 and/or type 11. however, only two cases of adult solitary papillomata and five cases of adult multiple papillomata were positive for hpv ty ...19892541952
detection of human papillomavirus dna in fine-needle aspirations of metastatic squamous-cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix using the polymerase chain reaction.routinely processed fine-needle aspirations of metastatic squamous-cell carcinoma (scc) were analyzed for human papillomavirus type 16 (hpv-16) using the polymerase chain reaction (pcr), an in vitro dna amplification method. hpv-16 dna was detected in five of seven (71%) metastases from scc of the uterine cervix. in two cases in which the primary tumor was available for comparison, the hpv-16 dna content of the primary tumor and of the metastasis was identical. hpv-16 was not found in a metastat ...19892541988
continued expression of hpv-16 e7 protein is required for maintenance of the transformed phenotype of cells co-transformed by hpv-16 plus ej-ras.the close association between hpv-16 and cervical cancer implies some role for the virus in development of this cancer. recent studies have shown that the hpv-16 e7 gene encodes the major transforming activity of the virus in baby rat kidney (brk) cell transformation assays. to investigate the requirement for continued e7 expression in brk cells transformed by hpv-16 e7 plus ej-ras, we have developed a system for inducible expression of the e7 gene. the studies reported here show that continued ...19892542020
reproductive and sexual risk factors and human papilloma virus infection in cervical cancer among hong kong chinese.in this case-control study of cervical neoplasia in hong kong, 48 dysplasia and 68 cancer patients were matched with 116 surgical in-patient controls. the cases had an earlier age at first intercourse and more sex partners than the controls. the cases' husbands also had more sex partners and were less likely to use condoms regularly. in a multiple regression model the odds ratio were 6.0 (95% confidence interval 2.5-14.6) for the husband having more than one sex partner, 4.0 (1.5-10.7) for the w ...19892542172
two colour dna in situ hybridization for the detection of two viral genomes using non-radioactive probes.methods for the simultaneous detection of two virus types in cytological preparations or tissue sections by non-radioactive in situ hybridization were investigated. as a model system, caski cells, which have human papilloma virus type 16 (hpv16) dna integrated in their cellular genome, were in vitro infected with herpes simplex virus 2 (hsv2). dna probes for both viruses were labeled with biotin, acetylaminofluorene (aaf), and transaminated-sulfonated cytosine (ts-modified). best results were ob ...19892542189

infectious papillomavirus in the vapor of warts treated with carbon dioxide laser or electrocoagulation: detection and protection.papillomavirus dna has been reported recently in the vapor (smoke plume) derived from warts treated with carbon dioxide laser; this raises concerns for operator safety. we therefore have studied a group of human and bovine warts to define further the potential risk of wart therapy and to test whether a surgical mask could reduce exposure. half of each wart was treated with carbon dioxide laser and the other half with electrocoagulation. the vapor produced by each form of therapy was collected wi ...19892545749
human papillomavirus type 31 infection of the uterine cervix in england.a total of 452 uterine cervical scrapes, from two centres in england, has been examined by dot blot hybridisation for the presence of human papilloma virus (hpv) types 6, 11, 16, 18 and 31. hpv dna was found in 36.5% samples. twenty-nine of the women were infected with more than one type. of those with detectable hpv, 14.5% had hpv type 31 infections. this type appears to cause significant infection of the genital tract in england.19892545788
oral hairy leukoplakia is not a specific sign of hiv-infection but related to immunosuppression in general.oral hairy leukoplakia (hl) has been regarded as an early sign of hiv infection, and its clinical importance related to the poor outcome of the patients has been emphasized. initially, hl was observed exclusively among male homosexuals, but subsequently demonstrated in all risk groups of hiv infection. the patient described in this article suggests that oral hl is not specific for hiv infection per se, but may be associated with immunosuppression also due to other causes. we describe an hiv-sero ...19892545869
progesterone and glucocorticoid response elements occur in the long control regions of several human papillomaviruses involved in anogenital neoplasia.we have previously identified in the long control region of the genome of human papillomavirus type 16 (hpv-16) a dna segment which functions as a cell-type-specific enhancer as well as mediating glucocorticoid response. it contains multiple transcription-factor-binding sites, including several for nuclear factor i and one for the glucocorticoid receptor, which binds to the partially palindromic sequence tgtacannntgtcat. we report here that this sequence element, when separated from the surround ...19892545902

association of dna aneuploidy with human papillomavirus-induced malignant transformation of sinonasal transitional papillomas.the nuclear dna content of 19 transitional papillomas of the sinonasal region and 9 maxillary squamous cell carcinomas was studied by flow cytometry; the presence of human papillomavirus (hpv) dna types 11 and 16 was determined by the in situ hybridization technique from paraffin-embedded tissue. thirteen (68%) of the papillomas and none of the carcinomas contained hpv genome. six (32%) of the papillomas and 4 (44%) of the carcinomas had an aneuploid dna content. the relative dna content (dna in ...19892546115
human papillomavirus dna determination of anal condylomata, dysplasias, and squamous carcinomas with in situ hybridization.infection with types 6, 11, 16, and 18 of the human papillomavirus (hpv) is associated with condylomatous, dysplastic, or carcinomatous changes in the genital tract. emerging evidence suggests that a similar series of lesions develops in the anal canal after exposure to the same hpv types. in situ hybridization was performed with the use of biotinylated dna probes to hpv 6, 11, 16, and 18, so as to determine the frequency of hpv dna in 45 perianal and/or anal condylomata, 6 anal intraepithelial ...19892546419
increased frequency of detection of human papillomavirus deoxyribonucleic acid in exfoliated cervical cells during pregnancy.exfoliated cells of the uterine cervix obtained from women during pregnancy and at the time of their first postpartum examination were used to monitor the prevalence of human papillomavirus infections in this population and to study the natural fluctuations in viral expression. when deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization analysis alone was used to monitor the presence of human papillomavirus infection, 20.9% of our study population had results that were positive for human papillomavirus deoxyribonu ...19892546428
mechanism for human papillomavirus transmission at birth.we attempted to investigate mechanisms, in addition to sexual contact, by which human papillomaviruses associated with anogenital tract lesions could be transmitted. samples of exfoliated cervical cells were obtained from 45 pregnant women and were assayed by southern blot hybridization analysis for the presence of human papillomavirus nucleic acids. twenty-five of the 45 women had cells positive for human papillomavirus deoxyribonucleic acid. a neonatal nasopharyngeal aspirate was obtained at t ...19892546429
correlation of histology and human papillomavirus dna detection in condyloma acuminatum and condyloma-like vulvar lesions.the diagnosis of a vulvar condyloma is made when perinuclear halos are seen with nuclear atypia and binucleate forms (koilocytotic atypia). these changes are most prominent in the granular layer and are associated with the presence of human papillomavirus (hpv). however, these changes may be absent or minimal in patients with papillary vulvar lesions; this situation can thus present diagnostic difficulties. we analyzed the histologic features of 53 biopsies from 48 patients who had vulvar lesion ...19892546460
the common occurrence of human papillomavirus infection and intraepithelial neoplasia in women infected by hiv.eighteen out of 19 women who were clinically well but infected by hiv showed abnormalities of the lower genital tract. seven patients had intraepithelial neoplasia, histologically verified in five, involving the cervix in four, the vulva in three and the perineum in one. lesions (clinical and/or subclinical) compatible with human papillomavirus (hpv) infection were identified in these women, as well as in 10 out of the other 11 women infected with hiv. disease at more than one site was detected ...19892546572
