Human papillomavirus DNA in plasma of patients with cervical cancer

Abstract: Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a crucial etiological factor for cervical cancer (CC) development. From a diagnostic view-point, the consistent presence of HPV in CC allows the viral DNA to be used as a genetic marker. The aims of this study were to evaluate the presence, physical status and clinical significant of HPV DNA in circulation of CC patients.

“…Not surprisingly, soon after this initial breakthrough essentially all other types of tumorspecific DNA changes were discovered in cfDNA, such as changes in the status of microsatellite markers including loss of heterozygosity (LOH; refs. 8, 9); gene amplifications (10,11); the presence of the oncogenic viral DNA (12)(13)(14)(15); and hypermethylation of the promoter regions of tumor suppressor genes (16)(17)(18). While these early observations highlighted many possibilities for using ctDNA as a noninvasive approach to analyze tumor genomes, sufficiently sensitive and specific laboratory techniques to fully leverage this potential were not yet developed.…”

“…Real time methylation specific polymerase chain reaction (RT-MSP-PCR) allows quantitative estimates of promoter hypermethylated circulating DNA. Finally, particular viral sequences has been reported in circulation in patients suffering from some Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated cancers (nasopharyngeal carcinoma, EBV-associated Hodgkin's disease) as has circulating human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA sequences in plasma of cervical cancer patients associated with metastasis (43).…”
