PG - 439-46 AB - Infection with human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) confers a high risk for the development of cervical cancer. Variants of this virus may interact differentially with host genetic factors, possibly affecting the disease pathogenesis. This study was designed to investigate the association between HPV16 E6 variants and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) polymorphism within a Chinese population. Peripheral blood from HPV16 positive Chinese women with cervical carcinoma, who had previously been tested for HPV16 E6 variants, was used for HLA class II typing. It was found that there was a significant positive association between DQB1*060101 allele and HPV16 As variant-positive cervical cancers (OR, 4.47; Pc=0.0018). A negative relationship was found between DRB1*150101-DQB1*0602 haplotype and decreased risk for HPV16 As variant-positive cervical cancers (OR=0.31; P=0.037). Similar tendency was observed for the haplotype DRB1*070101-DQB1*0201 with HPV16 As variant-positive cervical cancers (OR=0.16, P=0.024). Additionally, as for the HPV16 E6 prototype-positive cervical cancers, a significant positive association was found in DQB1*060101 allele (OR=5.95; P=0.002; Pc=0.036), and similar trends were observed for DQB1*030201 (OR=10.87, P<0.0001; Pc=0.0018), and DPB1*1301(OR=7.40, P=0.002; Pc=0.04). It was found that there was no significant association between DRB1-DQB1 haplotype and HPV16 prototype-positive cervical cancers. These data indicate that host genetic factors, such as HLA polymorphism, may determine the potential oncogenicity of the HPV16 E6 variant. The results suggest that a specific match between E6 variant proteins and HLA class II alleles may contribute to HPV16-related cervical carcinogenesis in a certain Chinese population.
