vulvar manifestations of human papillomavirus infection.as technology continues to improve, we are increasingly able to detect the presence of hpv in both clinically diseased and histologically and clinically normal vulvar tissue. unfortunately, the technology for effective treatment of these conditions has not advanced as rapidly. still, fundamental information about the interaction of hpv with the host cell continues to be collected and will provide us with an increased understanding of the importance of latent infection and its progression to clin ...19921318813
prevalence of epstein-barr virus and human papillomavirus in oral mucosa of hiv-infected patients.epstein-barr virus (ebv) has been implicated in the genesis of oral hairy leukoplakia (ohl). initially, ohl was also associated with human papillomavirus (hpv) as evidenced by staining with antiserum to papillomavirus common structural antigens and reports of two hpv-positive ohl as detected by in situ dna hybridization. the aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of ebv and hpv dna in ohl and normal oral mucosa and to explain the basis for the staining of ohl tissues with antibodies ...19921318379
human papillomavirus detection from the female genital tract: combined vs. separate scrape methods.because genital human papillomavirus (hpv) infections tend to be multifocal, it was studied how effective one combined specimen is in detecting hpv-dna from the lower female genital tract. the study population consisted of 50 patients referred to a colposcopy clinic for a suspected condylomatous and/or dysplastic lesion. from half of the patients, a separate scrape from the cervix, vagina and vulva was taken first followed by a combined scrape representing all the genital sites, and from the oth ...19921318854
early promoters of genital and cutaneous human papillomaviruses are differentially regulated by the bovine papillomavirus type 1 e2 gene product.the physical state of the human papillomavirus (hpv) genome is usually different in malignant lesions of the skin, in which it is generally found in episomal form, and genital mucosa, in which it is frequently integrated with disruption of the e2 gene. using chimeric or natural hpv promoters in the presence of the bovine papillomavirus type 1 e2 gene product, we observed transcription activation or repression, depending on the distance of e2-binding motifs from the start site. we found a clear d ...19921318941
[buschke-loewenstein's tumor].buschke-loewenstein tumour, also called giant condyloma acuminatum, is located on the external genitalia and in the perineal region. it presents as a craggy, burgeoning and locally invasive mass that looks clinically worrying. histology shows a classically benign papillomatous proliferation, but transformation into invasive carcinoma occurs in about one-third of the cases. local penetration and sometimes focal cytological atypias have prompted certain authors to use the term verrucous carcinoma. ...19921319054
mutant p53 can substitute for human papillomavirus type 16 e6 in immortalization of human keratinocytes but does not have e6-associated trans-activation or transforming activity.human papillomavirus type 16 (hpv16) e6 and e7 are selectively retained and expressed in hpv16-associated human genital tumors. e6 is active in several cell culture assays, including transformation of nih 3t3 cells, trans activation of the adenovirus e2 promoter, and cooperation with e7 to immortalize normal human keratinocytes. biochemically, the hpv16 e6 protein has been shown to bind to tumor suppressor protein p53 in vitro and induce its degradation in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate. to examin ...19921318401

detection of the human papilloma virus type 16 mrna-transcripts in cytological abnormal scrapings.the rna-polymerase chain reaction (pcr) was carried out on cervical scrapings to detect and analyze transcripts from the e6-e7 open reading frames (orf) of human papilloma virus type 16 (hpv16). the method, described previously for cervical squamous carcinomas and cervical intraepithelial neoplasias, was adapted to cervical scrapings. a primer set and two different probes specific for the e6-e7 orfs were selected. one of the probes was able to detect the amplification products from the full leng ...19921321226
conservation of hpv-16 e6/e7 orf sequences in a cervical carcinoma.a cervical carcinoma that contained human papillomavirus (hpv)-16 homologous dna was analyzed. each tumor cell genome contained a single, incomplete copy of hpv-16 dna. the e6 and e7 open reading frames (orfs) were completely conserved relative to other published hpv-16 sequences. much of the non-coding region (ncr) was free of base changes, including complete conservation of several regulatory elements. multiple mutations were identified in the remaining integrated hpv-16 dna, which was compose ...19921321227
metal thiolate coordination in the e7 proteins of human papilloma virus 16 and cottontail rabbit papilloma virus as expressed in escherichia coli.the oncogenic e7 proteins of human papilloma virus (hpv 16) and of cottontail rabbit papilloma virus (crpv) have been purified from an expression system in escherichia coli. the proteins as purified from e. coli contain one tightly bound zn(ii) ion per molecule. the metal site shows facile exchange with either cd(ii) or cu(i). the hpv 16 e7 maximally bound one cd(ii) or two cu(i) ions, while the crpv e7 bound two cd(ii) or three cu(i) ions. the cd(ii) and cu(i) e7 molecules exhibited optical tra ...19921322900
transcription patterns of human papillomavirus type 16 in genital intraepithelial neoplasia: evidence for promoter usage within the e7 open reading frame during epithelial differentiation.human papillomavirus (hpv) type 16 transcription was analysed by in situ hybridization using 125i-labelled subgenomic riboprobes, from 26 genital intraepithelial neoplastic (in) lesions, in formalin-fixed biopsies from 18 different cases. distinct transcription patterns separable by the presence or absence of late gene transcription were detected. in 12 lesions, late gene expression was absent; hpv transcripts corresponding to the e6 and e7 open reading frame (orf) were detectable in all basal c ...19921322961
human papillomavirus (hpv) type 16 and 33 e6/e7 region transcripts in tonsillar carcinomas can originate from integrated and episomal hpv dna.this study was undertaken to determine whether human papillomavirus (hpv) e6/e7 gene transcription in tonsillar carcinomas is correlated with viral dna integration. therefore, tonsillar carcinomas containing hpv-16 (n = 2) and hpv-33 (n = 2) dna were analysed for the viral physical state and transcription of the e6/e7 region. southern blot analysis, dna polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and, eventually, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed indications for the presence of only episomal dna ...19921322962
functional analysis of human papillomavirus type 16 e7 by complementation with adenovirus e1a mutants.functional analysis of human papillomavirus type 16 e7 protein by complementation with adenovirus e1a mutants in baby rat kidney cells has shown that the retinoblastoma gene product (rb)-binding region of e7 can substitute in trans for that of e1a. an n-terminal e7 mutant was unable to complement an e1a mutant unable to bind p300, indicating that the two mutants were defective for functionally equivalent activities. e7 proteins with mutations within the rb-binding region were also unable to comp ...19921322963
an evaluation of human papillomavirus testing as part of referral to colposcopy clinics.to determine the usefulness of human papillomavirus (hpv) testing as a triage method for predicting which women referred to a colposcopy clinic were most likely to have histologically confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin).19921323087
transcription of the e6 and e7 genes of human papillomavirus type 6 in anogenital condylomata is restricted to undifferentiated cell layers of the epithelium.the e6 and e7 genes of human genital papillomaviruses (hpvs) appear to transform cells by different mechanisms. they seem to act synergistically but are not equally important when tested under diverse experimental conditions. we were therefore tempted to investigate the e6- and e7-specific transcription pattern in hpv6-infected condylomas separately, by in situ hybridization. recent studies have identified three promoters within the e6-e7 region of hpv6 and hpv11 by applying s1, exonuclease vii, ...19921321267
identification and genetic definition of a bovine papillomavirus type 1 e7 protein and absence of a low-copy-number phenotype exhibited by e5, e6, or e7 viral mutants.the bovine papillomavirus type 1 (bpv-1) genome replicates as a multiple-copy plasmid in murine c127 cells transformed to neoplasia by virus infection or by transfection with bpv-1 dna. it was reported previously that bpv-1 genomes harboring frameshift mutations in the e6 or e7 open reading frame (orf) replicated in c127 cells transformed by these mutants at a low copy number. furthermore, the characterization of a bpv-1 mrna in which the e6 and e7 orfs were spliced together in frame has led to ...19921321280
interaction of the human papillomavirus type 16 e6 oncoprotein with wild-type and mutant human p53 proteins.the e6 oncoproteins encoded by the cancer-associated human papillomaviruses (hpvs) can associate with and promote the degradation of wild-type p53 in vitro. to gain further insight into this process, the ability of hpv-16 e6 to complex with and promote the degradation of mutant forms of p53 was studied. a correlation between binding and the targeted degradation of p53 was established. mutant p53 proteins that bound hpv-16 e6 were targeted for degradation, whereas those that did not complex hpv-1 ...19921321290
functional interaction of p53 with hpv18 e6, c-myc and h-ras in 3t3 cells.wild-type (wt) p53 has been suggested to be the product of a tumor-suppressor gene. recently, it has been shown that the e6 oncoproteins of human papillomavirus (hpv) types 16 and 18, like the sv40 large t antigen, are physically associated with wt p53. we have investigated the functional interaction of wt p53 with the viral oncogene products of hpv16 and 18 and with cellular oncogenes by transfection of nih3t3 cells with p53 wt alone or with several oncogene(s). we found that over-expression of ...19921321402
viral e1 and e2 proteins support replication of homologous and heterologous papillomaviral origins.we have shown that e1 and e2 proteins of human papillomavirus type 11 (hpv-11) were essential to support the replication of the homologous viral origin (ori) in a transient replication assay, similar to reports on bovine papillomavirus type 1 (bpv-1). unexpectedly, matched or even mixed combinations of e1 and e2 proteins from hpv-11 or bpv-1 replicated either ori in human, monkey, and rodent cell lines of epithelial or fibroblastic lineage, albeit with varied efficiencies. either set of viral pr ...19921321423
quantitation and mapping of integrated human papillomavirus on human metaphase chromosomes using a fluorescence microscope imaging system.integrated human papillomavirus type 16 (hpv-16) dna was directly visualized on metaphase chromosomes in the two human cervical carcinoma cell lines siha and caski by fluorescence in situ hybridization with a biotinylated dna probe (7.9 kb). the fluorescence intensities of hybridization signals from single copies and dispersed clusters of integrated hpv-16 dna were quantified using a microscope equipped with a cooled-ccd camera that was interfaced to an image processor and host computer. hybridi ...19921321707
the prevalence of hpv16dna in normal and pathological cervical scrapes using the polymerase chain reaction.human papillomavirus (hpv) has been implicated in the development of cervical cancer. newly developed molecular techniques have facilitated hpv identification and typing of cervical lesions. several studies have suggested a strong correlation between hpv16 and intraepithelial cervical neoplasia. however, there is no agreement on this point since hpv16 is detected also in normal cervical tissue. we have amplified the l1 region of hpv16 dna using the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) technique and a ...19921321780
association of human immunodeficiency virus and anal human papillomavirus infection among homosexual men.a previous study of men with proctitis, proctocolitis, or enteritis showed an association of anal human papillomavirus (hpv) infection with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection. because anorectal abnormalities may confound an observed association between anal hpv dna and hiv seropositivity, the present study was undertaken among consecutive homosexual men seeking hiv serologic testing who were unselected for anorectal symptoms.19921323247
is human papillomavirus associated with cervical neoplasia in the elderly?there have been no studies in the united states of human papillomavirus (hpv) in elderly women. this paper presents cross-sectional data on hpv and cervical neoplasia among 232 women age 65 or more. hpv deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) testing was performed using a modified dot-blot hybridization technique. the prevalence of hpv dna positivity was 3.5% (95% confidence interval (ci) 0.9%, 6.0%). there were six cases of histologic cervical neoplasia. the crude odds ratio for cervical neoplasia among hp ...19921321782
retinoblastoma protein binding properties are dependent on 4 cysteine residues in the protein binding pocket.the retinoblastoma gene product (prb) participates in regulating mammalian cell replication. the mechanism responsible for prb's growth regulatory activity is uncertain. however, prb is known to bind viral transforming proteins including the papilloma virus e7 protein, cellular proteins, and dna. prb contains a critical domain termed the "binding pocket" which is required for binding activities. this binding pocket contains 8 cysteine residues. a naturally occurring mutation affecting one of the ...19921321820
[intra-lesion administration of beta-interferon in the treatment of cin associated with hpv infection].thirty-two women with histologically confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin) associated with human papillomavirus (hpv) infection were treated with intralesional beta-interferon. at 12 months from the end of the treatment, 60% of the patients showed complete regression, histologically assessed, of cin. considering separately the different cin grades, the regression for cin i was 71%, 64% for cin ii and 45% for cin iii. side-effects were rather frequent (84%) but they did not require d ...19921321960
cytologic diagnosis of human papillomavirus. influence of age and pregnancy stage.in a review of cytologic findings in 446,038 premenopausal women whose smears were examined during a five-year period ending in 1990, it was established that cytomorphologic evidence of human papillomavirus infection was significantly more common in the younger groups: those under 30 years of age had about twice the rate of the older groups. similarly, in a group of 29,153 pregnant women it was found that cytologic signs of human papillomavirus were reported twice as often during the second half ...19921321998
interactions of hpv e6 and e7 oncoproteins with tumour suppressor gene products.the hpvs associated with anogenital cancers encode two oncoproteins, e6 and e7. both e6 and e7 can form specific complexes with tumour suppressor gene products. the e7 protein binds to the retinoblastoma tumour suppressor gene product prb, with a preference for the underphosphorylated, "active" form of prb. the e7 proteins derived from the "high risk" hpvs bind to prb with a higher affinity than the e7 proteins from the "low risk" hpvs. the "high risk" hpv e6 proteins can associate with the p53 ...19921322242
prevalence of genital papilloma virus infections in asymptomatic and symptomatic women, studied with a combined dot-blot and southern blot procedure.a technique for the detection and typing of genital infections with human papilloma virus (hpv) is described. following a non-invasive sampling and a simplified preparation procedure, the analysis was performed as a combined dot-blot and southern blot analysis, where the former test was used to exclude cases without demonstrable content of hpv dna. the subgenomic probes used in the southern blot analyses have a higher specificity than can be achieved with genomic ones, and only one band is obtai ...19921323742
the status of the p53 gene in human papilloma virus positive or negative cervical carcinoma cell lines.we have analyzed p53 gene alterations in five cervical cancer derived cell lines. two of the five cervical cancer cell lines, htb31 (c-33a) and 32 (ht-3), harbored missense mutations in codons 273 and 245 respectively, whereas the other three tumor cell lines, htb33 (me180), 34 (ms751) and 35 (siha), did not reveal any mutation in the p53 coding sequence spanning codons 126-307. although all the tumor cell lines express comparable levels of p53 rna, only htb31 and htb32 contain high or detectabl ...19921322252
prevalence and expression of human papillomavirus in tonsillar carcinomas, indicating a possible viral etiology.the presence of human papillomavirus (hpv) dna was assessed in biopsies of tonsillar carcinomas (n = 10) and cases of tonsillitis (n = 7), serving as controls, by general-primer-mediated pcr (gp-pcr). all carcinomas appeared hpv-positive, whereas all cases of tonsillitis were hpv-negative. additional type-specific pcr for hpv 6, 11, 16, 18, 31 and 33 revealed that 4 carcinomas contained hpv 16 dna, 4 contained hpv 33 dna and 1 contained an hpv 16/33 double infection. false positivity was exclude ...19921322374
follow-up evaluation of cervicovaginal human papillomavirus infection in adolescents.we performed a second examination for human papillomavirus (hpv) dna on 51 sexually experienced 13- to 21-year-old (mean = 17.8 years) female patients seen at an urban teaching hospital. cervicovaginal lavages were performed 6 to 36 months apart (median = 13.3 months) to collect cells for hpv dna detection and typing by southern blot hybridization. at the first and second visits, 39.2% (20/51) and 25.5% (13/51) of patients, respectively, were infected with hpv. collectively, 56.9% (29/51) of pat ...19921322456

in situ hybridization at light and electron microscopic levels: identification of human papillomavirus nucleic acids.a comparison of the sensitivities of biotinylated and 32p-labelled human papillomavirus type 6b dna probes was made. slot blot hybridization results showed that the sensitivity of biotinylated probes was consistent with that of 32p-labelled, that is, 0.1 pg of pbr 322 plasmid containing 8 kbp hpv cdna. in situ hybridization using 35s-labelled probes was applied to tissue from condylomata acuminata. after autoradiography, many silver grains were seen concentrated over the superficial koilocytic n ...19921322521
intraepithelial neoplasia of the lower female genital tract: etiology, investigation, and management.lower genital tract neoplasia appears associated with certain types of the human papilloma virus. surgical approaches using lasers and electricity are available to treat the clinical diseases and in turn provide good cosmetic and functional anatomy. the surgical method employed depends upon the anatomical and histological distribution of disease regardless of its site. of the three areas (cervix, vagina and vulva), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is the least difficult to cure. vulvar intraep ...19921322554
production of human papillomavirus and modulation of the infectious program in epithelial raft cultures. off.human papillomaviruses trophic for anogenital epithelia cause benign warts, and certain genotypes are closely associated with cervical neoplasia. by using our modifications of the epithelial raft culture system, we were able to recapitulate and modulate the infectious program of a papillomavirus in vitro for the first time. small pieces of a condyloma containing human papillomavirus type 11 were explanted onto a dermal equivalent consisting of a collagen matrix with fibroblasts and were cultured ...19921321068
geographical dependence of sequence variation in the e7 gene of human papillomavirus type 16.we have determined nucleotide sequences of the e7 open reading frame (orf) of human papillomavirus type 16 (hpv-16) isolates obtained from 32 genital tumours and two hpv-16-transformed human keratinocyte cell lines. in comparison to the prototype hpv-16 isolated from a german cervical cancer biopsy, no sequence variations were noticed in either the two cell lines or the 10 biopsies that were obtained from german patients. in contrast only three of 22 (13.6%) of tanzanian isolates showed the prot ...19921321216
sense and antisense transcripts of human papillomavirus type 16 in cervical cancers.human papillomavirus type 16 (hpv-16) transcription was analysed in one squamous cervical carcinoma by cdna cloning and dna sequencing, and in eight additional squamous cervical carcinomas and 11 precancerous lesions by rna-rna in situ hybridization. the nucleotide sequences of the cdna clones revealed structures of early hpv-16 mrnas (e6*-e7-e1 e4-e5) in agreement with data reported for other premalignant and malignant tumours. cdna clones possibly representing viral rna of antisense orientatio ...19921321217
human papillomavirus-associated lesions of the vagina and cervix. treatment with a laser and topical 5-fluorouracil.twenty women with cervical and vaginal human papillomavirus-associated lesions were treated with co2 laser ablation followed by eight weekly applications of 5-fluorouracil. viral subtyping in a majority of patients and histology were obtained before and after treatment. after treatment 88% (15 of 17) had normal vaginal biopsies, and 59% (10 of 17) had normal cervical biopsies. there were no treatment failures with subtype 6/11 infection of the cervix or vagina. all the failures were with viral s ...19921324311
human papillomavirus sequences are not detectable by southern blotting or general primer-mediated polymerase chain reaction in transitional cell tumours of the bladder.a large series of transitional cell tumours has been screened for the presence of human papillomavirus (hpv) sequences using southern blotting and general primer-mediated polymerase chain reaction (gp-pcr). the latter technique allows the detection of a broad spectrum of both sequenced and unsequenced hpv types using two primer pairs located in the highly conserved l1 and e1 regions of the hpv genome. no evidence for hpv infection was found in 100 transitional cell tumours, 6 cases of carcinoma ...19921324541
immortalization of fetal mouse brain glial cells by human papillomavirus type 16 e7 genes.fetal mouse brain glial cells in primary cultures were immortalized by recombinant retroviruses containing human papillomavirus type 16 e7 genes, and named vr-2g cells. the presence and expression of e7 genes in vr-2g cells were demonstrated by the southern and the northern blot analyses. vr-2g cells did not form colonies in soft agar culture, indicating that vr-2g cells have no transforming phenotypes. by the karyotype analysis, vr-2g cells consisted of two cell populations, the pseudo-diploid ...19921322802
[value of the in situ hybridization technique in the diagnosis of human papilloma virus infections of the uterine cervix. correlations between the human papilloma virus type and the morphological features].clinico-pathologic, epidemiologic and molecular analytic studies have shown that: i) the squamous cancer of the uterine cervix derives from intraepithelial lesions with different degrees of atypia; ii) human papillomavirus (hpv) can play a fundamental role in the progression of these lesions. we have examined 219 uterine cervix biopsies by means of the in situ hybridization technique (ish) using biotinylated probes for 6/11, 16/18 and 31/35/51 hpv strains. the histologic lesions were as follows: ...19921323097
multiple hpv infection: microanatomy by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry.specific human papillomavirus (hpv) types have been shown to be associated with proliferative epithelial lesions with variable biological consequences in infected patients. simultaneous infection by more than one hpv type has been infrequently reported, and its clinical significance is unknown. we have examined four biopsies of cervical and vulvar tissue, each with evidence of infection by two different hpvs. using both in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical techniques, we determined the ...19921323102
sinonasal schneiderian papillomas: human papillomavirus typing by polymerase chain reaction.a series of 35 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded schneiderian papillomas (24 inverted, nine cylindrical cell type, and two fungiform) of the nasal cavity were evaluated for the presence of human papillomavirus (hpv) types 6b/11, 16, and 18 dna sequences using both a highly sensitive and specific modification of the polymerase chain reaction technique and conventional in situ hybridization. the hpv gene sequences (e6-e7 portions) were not detected in any of the 24 inverted or nine cylindrical cel ...19921323107
prevalence of human papillomavirus in sinonasal papillomas: a study using polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization.inverted and fungiform papillomas of the sinonasal cavity share a common origin from the schneiderian membrane, but they differ widely in their rates of recurrence and progression to carcinoma. to determine the role of human papillomavirus in the etiology of these lesions, 15 inverted papillomas, five fungiform papillomas, and two squamous cell carcinomas associated with inverted papilloma were examined for the presence of hpv by in situ hybridization (ish) and polymerase chain reaction (pcr). i ...19921323110
detection of amplified hpv 6 and 11 dna in vulvar lesions by hot start pcr in situ hybridization.we analyzed the distribution pattern of human papillomavirus (hpv) 6 and 11 dna in vulvar lesions by in situ hybridization after amplification by the "hot start" polymerase chain reaction (pcr). hpv dna was routinely detected in granular layer cells showing perinuclear halos and nuclear atypia by in situ hybridization with or without pcr. cells that lack these changes rarely exhibited hpv dna with standard in situ hybridization. after amplification, in situ analysis showed that many of the cells ...19921323112
