چکیده

Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is associated with low risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11. Malignant transformation has been reported solely for HPV11-associated RRP in 2-4% of all RRP-cases, but not for HPV6. The molecular mechanisms in the carcinogenesis of low risk HPV-associated cancers are to date unknown. We report of a female patient, who presented with a laryngeal carcinoma at the age of 24 years. She had a history of juvenile-onset RRP with an onset at the age of three and subsequently several hundred surgical interventions due to multiple recurrences of RRP. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or bead-based hybridization followed by direct sequencing identified HPV6 in tissue sections of previous papilloma and the carcinoma. P16(INK4A), p53 and pRb immunostainings were negative in all lesions. HPV6 specific fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) revealed nuclear staining suggesting episomal virus in the papilloma and a single integration site in the carcinoma. Integration-specific amplification of papillomavirus oncogene transcripts PCR (APOT-PCR) showed integration in the aldo-keto reductase 1C3 gene (AKR1C3) on chromosome 10p15.1. ArrayCGH detected loss of the other gene copy as part of a deletion at 10p14-p15.2. Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry of the protein AKR1C3 showed a marked reduction of its expression in the carcinoma. In conclusion, we identified a novel molecular mechanism underlying a first case of HPV6-associated laryngeal carcinoma in juvenile-onset RRP, i.e. that HPV6 integration in the AKR1C3 gene resulted in loss of its expression. Alterations of AKR1C gene expression have previously been implicated in the tumorigenesis of other (HPV-related) malignancies.

Squamous bronchial carcinoma arising in a case of multiple juvenile papillomatosis.

Juvenile papillomatosis of the larynx and trachea is a rare but well recognised condition, classically developing between the ages of 5 and 15 years but occasionally occurring in infancy. The tumours tend to recur before puberty but rarely do so afterwards. Malignant transformation is said not to complicate this condition.' This report describes a case of squamous carcinoma arising in a patient...

Laryngeal Papillomatosis: Molecular, Ultrastructural and Clinical Evaluation

Our study was designed to correlate the prevalence of human papilloma viruses (HPV) types 6 and 11 in laryngeal papillomatosis specimens using PCR to the clinical and pathological characteristics of these patients as a trial to evaluate the usefulness of HPV typing in identifying which patients are at a higher risk for more frequently recurring aggressive disease or future malignant. This study...

A case of video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of malignant transformation of pulmonary recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a disease of the respiratory tract caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) and is characterized by multiple recurring papillomas throughout the respiratory tract. Although rare, extra laryngeal involvement carries the risk of malignant transformation in 3-7% of adults. We report the case of a patient with unmonitored juvenile onset R...

Juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is the most common benign neoplastic disease of the larynx in children, characterized by numerous squamous papillomas caused by Human Papilloma Virus type 6 and 11. HPV is thought to be acquired at the time of vaginal delivery from maternal genital condylomas. Juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis can be protracted by surgical interventions ...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes associated with laryngeal papilloma.

Biopsy specimens from 14 patients treated for laryngeal papillomatosis were tested for the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) genome by the technique of DNA-DNA hybridisation. According to the age of initial presentation, cases were subdivided into juvenile (less than 16 years) and adult onset (older than 16 years) groups. Histological investigation confirmed that it was impossible to disti...
