The Correlation between Human papillomavirus and Increased Expression of p53 in Seborrheic Keratosis

Abstract

Background: Seborrheic keratosis is a benign epidermal skin tumor caused by sun exposure, virus, and genetic factor. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection presumed to have an important role in seborrheic keratosis. Protein p53 is a protein produced by tumor suppressor gene. There has been no research that correlates of HPV with p53 increase in seborrheic keratosis. Purpose: To prove the correlation between HPV and increased p53 expression in seborrheic keratosis. Methods: This study is an analytic cross-sectional comparative study. Samples were taken using a consecutive sampling method. There were 22 seborrheic keratosis patients recruited as the research sample. HPV were detected using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and p53 expression were detected using the immunohistochemistry examination. Result: The mean age of seborrheic keratosis patients in this study was 54.36±10.09 years, and they were predominantly males (54.5%). HPV were found in 86.4% of the seborrheic keratosis patients. The P53 expression (+) were 77.3%, (++) were 13.6%, and (+++) were 9.1%. All of the seborrheic keratosis with increased p53 expression had positive HPV results, but with no significant results (p=0.600). Conclusion: There were no correlation between HPV with increased p53 expression in seborrheic keratosis patients.

Profile of Skin Tumors at Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital Dermatology and Venerology Outpatient Clinic in 2017 – 2021 : A Retrospective Study

“…The electrocautery procedure is beneficial for therapy in nonconductive tissue parts of the body, such as cartilage, bone, and nails. 8,9 In this study, all of the the patients diagnosed with malignant skin tumor were female. 5 But based on other studies mentioned men tend to have a 1.37 times greater risk of suffering from malignant skin tumors.…”

The Correlation between Blood Glucose and Lipid Profile with Skin tag

“…6 Age above 45 is associated with reduced immunity, increased cumulative UV exposure, DNA mutation accumulation, and DNA repair capacity. 10,12 Most of the patients in this study are obese. Research by Idris S. et al 6 in 2014 assessed the relationship between body mass index, lipid profile, and skin tag on 40 patients in India.…”

Prognostic value of HPV genotyping in cutaneous warts​

“…SK usually presents as a flat, brownish lesion with a smooth or hyperkeratotic surface and is often confused with warts due to its clinical or histological appearance (i.e. hyperkeratosis, papillomatosis, and acanthosis; Nellessen et al, 2023;Sari et al, 2020).…”

“…Various body areas, most typically in heavily sunexposed skin such as the face and upper body (Sari et al, 2020).…”
