PG - 510-518 LID - 10.1111/1348-0421.13026 [doi] AB - There are a limited number of studies regarding the involvement of viruses in the development and pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In this study, we aimed to discover whether human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) and 6B (HHV-6B) and human polyomavirus JC (JCV) and BK (BKV) are associated with RCC and the expression of p53, p16INK4a, Ki-67, and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) in patients with RCC. A total of 122 histologically confirmed RCC tissue specimens and 96 specimens of their corresponding peritumoral tissues were included in this prospective study. Nested PCR was performed to amplify viral DNA sequences. Restriction endonuclease analysis was carried out to discriminate between HHV-6A and HHV-6B. p53, p16INK4a, Ki-67, and NF-kappaB immunostaining data of the studied tissue specimens were available from our previous study. Statistical analysis was performed to demonstrate the potential associations. HHV-6B and JCV were detected in 10.7% and 13.9% of patients with RCC, respectively. We did not detect HHV-6A and BKV in any of RCC tissue specimens. Moreover, no association was found between either of these viruses and RCC. Our study revealed a significant association between HHV-6B and p53 overexpression. No other associations were found between cellular biomarkers p53, p16INK4a, Ki-67, and NF-kappaB and the studied viruses. The data of this study, though very limited, disprove the involvement of HHV-6A, HHV-6B, BKV, and JCV in the initiation or progression of RCC.
