- W2044256105 abstract "Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) is a rare tumor associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection in 30% to 60% of cases. Altered expression of miRNAs has been reported in HPV-related cervical and head and neck cancers, but such data have not been available for PSCC. We analyzed a series of 59 PSCCs and 8 condylomata for presence of HPV infection, for p16INK4a, Ki-67, and p53 immunohistochemical expression, and for expression of a panel of cellular miRNAs (let-7c, miR-23b, miR-34a, miR-145, miR-146a, miR-196a, and miR-218) involved in HPV-related cancer. HR-HPV DNA (HPV16 in most cases) was detected in 17/59 (29%) PSCCs; all penile condylomata (8/8) were positive for low-risk HPV6 or HPV11. HR-HPV+ PSCCs overexpressed p16INK4a in 88% cases and p53 in 35% of cases, whereas HR-HPV− PSCCs were positive for p16INK4a and p53 immunostaining in 9% and 44% of cases, respectively. Among the miRNAs investigated, expression of miR-218 was lower in PSCCs with HR-HPV infection and in p53− cancers. Hypermethylation of the promoter of the SLIT2 gene, which contains miR-218-1 in its intronic region, was frequently observed in PSCCs, mainly in those with low miR-218 expression. Epigenetic silencing of miR-218 is a common feature in HR-HPV+ PSCCs and in HR-HPV− PSCCs without immunohistochemical detection of p53.

Oncogenic HPV types cause cancer mainly by inducing degradation of the tumor suppressor proteins p53 and pRb (by E6 and E7 viral proteins, respectively), but also important are alterations of additional pathways involved in regulation of cell-cycle progression, telomere maintenance, apoptosis, chromosomal stability, and cell adhesion and migration.5Moody C.A.

SLIT2, a human homologue of the Drosophila Slit2 gene, has tumor suppressor activity and is frequently inactivated in lung and breast cancers.Cancer Res. 2002; 62: 5874-5880PubMed Google Scholar Sequence analysis of PCR amplicons was performed by cycle sequencing using a BigDye Terminator version 1.1 cycle sequencing kit (Life Technologies). The correlation between continuous variables was computed as Pearson's r. Nonparametric testing (U-test) was used to study differences between miRNA amounts for condyloma and PSCC cases, among PSCC cases positive and negative for HPV16, and among PSCC cases positive and negative for p16INK4a and p53. In addition, levels of within-sample agreement between HPV type and p16INK4a expression were assessed by χ2 test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. All statistical analyses were performed using R software version 2.9 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). Data are expressed as means ± SD, as median and range, or as percentages for categorical variables. The PSCC specimens exhibited a wide spectrum of microscopic findings (Figure 1). Overall, the 59 specimens (54 invasive and 5 in situ) exhibited a classic squamous appearance; the series covered the full range from well to poorly differentiated (although the majority had a moderate degree of differentiation and keratinization). In two of the poorly differentiated PSCCs, a comedo-like necrosis was observed. Invasion presented as individual cells or as sheets and nests of atypical cells. A verrucous feature was present in 10 PSCCs, with papillomatous growth and hyperparakeratosis with low to moderate grade tumor cells and common koilocytosis. Finally, four PSCCs exhibited a basaloid appearance, with tightly closed tumor cell nests always associated with comedo-type necrosis. These cells were small, with scant cytoplasm, oval or round nuclei, and inconspicuous nucleoli. Condylomata presented complex papillary arrangements of squamous epithelium in association with vacuolization of keratinocytes and enlarged, hyperchromatic, and folded nuclei (koilocytosis), along with stromal lymphocytic infiltration. The presence of HPV infection in penile specimens was investigated by line probe assay and HPV type-specific real-time PCR. Specimens were considered HPV+ if HPV DNA copy number was greater than 1 genome equivalent per cell, consistent with a clonal expansion of HPV+ cancer cells. These stringent criteria were chosen to differentiate pathogenic HPV types from co-infecting or contaminating HPV types, which may be present in cancer tissues. According to these criteria, HPV DNA was detected in two of five (40%) cases of PSCC in situ and in 16/54 (30%) cases of invasive PSCC (Table 2). Overall, 17/59 (29%) PSCCs were positive for HR-HPV (Table 3). All eight penile condylomata were positive for low-risk HPV6 or HPV11. Estimation of HPV DNA copy number in PSCCs by qPCR indicated the presence of approximately 1 to 100 genome equivalents per cell. The presence of HR-HPV infection was detected in 3/4 (75%) basaloid PSCCs, 2/10 (20%) verrucous PSCCs, and 2/6 (33%) grade 3 PSCCs (Table 3).Table 2Results of HPV Detection and Typing and of p16INK4a, p53, and Ki-67 Immunostaining in PSCC and Control SpecimensImmunostainingKi-67+‡Ki-67 positivity is defined as immunoreaction in >60% of cells.11 [no.

Interestingly, p16INK4a overexpression seemed to be associated, although not significantly, with the presence of basaloid features and with low histological grading (grades 1 and 2) (Table 3). Because this observation is based on few PSCCs, it should be confirmed by further studies involving an adequate number of cases. p53 immunoreactivity was detected in 30/59 (51%) PSCCs. No significant correlation was observed between p53 expression and HR-HPV infection, p16INK4a immunostaining, and histological features (Figure 1); p53+ immunostaining was more frequently observed in grade 2 and grade 3 PSCCs than in grade 1 PSCCs (Table 3). Immunostaining for the proliferation marker Ki-67 was also investigated in penile specimens. No relationship was observed between the percentage of Ki-67+ cells and histological features, HR-HPV infection, or p16INK4a and p53 immunostaining. Expression of a panel of miRNAs (let-7c, miR-34a, miR-23b, miR-145, miR-146a, miR-196a, and miR-218) was investigated by RT-qPCR in all samples. The panel was selected based on literature indicating an association with HPV16 infection and/or cervical carcinoma.6Zheng Z.M. Wang X.

Altered microRNA expression in cervical carcinomas.Clin Cancer Res. 2008; 14: 2535-2542Crossref PubMed Scopus (281) Google Scholar Expression of miR-218 showed a downward trend in PSCCs with HR-HPV infection (P = 0.069), and it was down-regulated in p53− PSCCs (P = 0.011). In the subgroup of HR-HPV− PSCCs, expression of miR-218 was significantly lower in p53− than p53+ PSCCs (P = 0.020); no difference in miR-218 expression was observed between p53+ and p53− tumors in the HR-HPV+ PSCC group (Figure 2A). miR-218 expression levels were similar among HR-HPV+ cases and those lacking both p53 immunolabeling and HR-HPV infection. Levels of miR-23b, miR-145, and miR146a were lower in HR-HPV+ (and p16INK4a+) PSCCs than in HR-HPV− PSCCs, although the difference was not statistically significant (Figure 2B). No association was observed between these miRNAs and p53 or Ki-67 expression and histological features, except that miR-196a levels were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in grade 2 and 3 PSCCs than in grade 1 PSCCs (relative expression: 3.0 ± 5.6 versus 1.0 ± 0.6, respectively). Because promoter hypermethylation has been reported to be a common mechanism of miR-218 down-regulation in several cancers, including oral SCCs,23Uesugi A. Kozaki K. Tsuruta T. Furuta M. Morita K. Imoto I. Omura K. Inazawa J. The tumor suppressive microRNA miR-218 targets the mTOR component Rictor and inhibits AKT phosphorylation in oral cancer.Cancer Res. 2011; 71: 5765-5778Crossref PubMed Scopus (220) Google Scholar we performed methylation analysis of the promoter of SLIT2 and SLIT3 (tumor suppressor genes that respectively contain the miR-218-1 and miR-218-2 precursors in the intronic region), using a methylation-specific PCR method that qualitatively assesses the presence of a hypermethylated CpG island in the promoters.16Dallol A. Da Silva N.F. Viacava P. Minna J.D. Bieche I. Maher E.R. Latif F. SLIT2, a human homologue of the Drosophila Slit2 gene, has tumor suppressor activity and is frequently inactivated in lung and breast cancers.Cancer Res. 2002; 62: 5874-5880PubMed Google Scholar For SLIT2, both methylated and unmethylated alleles were detected in tumor samples by PCR, indicating partial methylation. However, in tumors with low miR-218 levels, the degree of promoter methylation was greater than in those with higher miR-218 levels (Figure 3). Sequence analysis of methylation-specific PCR amplicons of the SLIT2 promoter confirmed the presence of methylated CpG sites. For SLIT3, only unmethylated alleles were observed (Figure 3). In this retrospective study, we investigated expression of a group of miRNAs associated with HPV-related cancer on a series of PSCCs and correlated miRNA expression with the presence of HPV infection, with p16INK4a, p53, and Ki-67 immunostaining, and with pathological features. The main finding of the present study is the demonstration that miR-218 was significantly down-regulated in p53− PSCCs. This finding was confirmed among HR-HPV− cancers. Interestingly, miR-218 expression showed a downward trend in HR-HPV+ PSCCs, compared with HR-HPV− PSCCs. Moreover, among HR-HPV+ cases the expression levels of miR-218 were similar to those cases lacking both p53 immunolabeling and HR-HPV infection, irrespective of p53 expression. In addition, by using stringent criteria to define HPV+ tumors, we demonstrated the presence of HR-HPV infection in approximately one third of PSCCs and confirmed the significant association between HR-HPV infection and p16INK4a overexpression. Our results on miR-218 expression in PSCCs are consistent with the literature on other HPV-related cancers. miR-218 has been shown to be significantly down-regulated in cervical carcinoma cell lines and in cervical tissues containing HPV16, compared with the normal cervix,19Martinez I.

Paxillin predicts survival and relapse in non-small cell lung cancer by microRNA-218 targeting.Cancer Res. 2010; 70: 10392-10401Crossref PubMed Scopus (118) Google Scholar However, miR-218 has been found to be underexpressed also in HPV− oral SCC, and the mechanism of silencing was again through promoter hypermethylation,23Uesugi A. Kozaki K. Tsuruta T. Furuta M. Morita K. Imoto I. Omura K. Inazawa J. The tumor suppressive microRNA miR-218 targets the mTOR component Rictor and inhibits AKT phosphorylation in oral cancer.Cancer Res. 2011; 71: 5765-5778Crossref PubMed Scopus (220) Google Scholar thus indicating that promoter hypermethylation is a common mechanism of miR-218 silencing in SCCs. In the present study, methylation of the SLIT2 promoter was observed in both HR-HPV+ and HR-HPV− PSCCs, and the degree of promoter methylation correlated with miR-218 silencing. In three cases, however, we observed equal signals for methylated and unmethylated promoter DNA. Such findings suggest the possibility that other mechanisms (eg, chromatin structure in the promoter region) may play an important role in the regulation of miR-218 expression in addition to DNA methylation. Furthermore, our findings identify miR-218 down-regulation as an important event in PSCC oncogenesis, which in p53+ cases could be related to a HR-HPV effect. Hypermethylation of the promoter of the SLIT3 gene, which contains miR-218-2 in its intronic region, has been also reported in different cancers, but less frequently than hypermethylation of the SLIT2 promoter.23Uesugi A.

Moreover, the SLIT2 gene has tumor suppressor activity and, together with pRb and p53, is frequently mutated, inactivated, or down-regulated in human cancer, indicating its driving role in oncogenesis.29Peifer M.

Kasper L.H. et al.Integrative genome analyses identify key somatic driver mutations of small-cell lung cancer.Nat Genet. 2012; 44: 1104-1110Crossref PubMed Scopus (1007) Google Scholar In the present study, expression of miR-218 was lower in HR-HPV+ PSCCs and in HR-HPV− PSCCs without p53 immunostaining than in those positive for p53. This suggests that miR-218 is down-regulated independently of p53 and might represent an important molecular event in penile oncogenesis, in addition to HR-HPV transformation and p53 inactivation. We also addressed HPV detection and typing in penile tumors and correlation with biomarkers. In accord with the literature,2Miralles-Guri C. Bruni L. Cubilla A.L. Castellsagué X.

In our series of 54 invasive PSCC cases, one was HPV45+ and another was HPV68+ (Table 2). In addition to HPV infection, other underlying molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis are suggested by the negative p16INK4a immunostaining in the HPV45+ case and p53 overexpression in the HPV68+ case. Although p16INK4a protein expression was a very good marker of HR-HPV infection in PSCCs, p53 immunostaining did not correlate with HR-HPV infection, which is in accord with previous report.30Stankiewicz E.

In this regard, p16INK4a overexpression and HR-HPV infection are considered markers of good prognosis in PSCC,31Lont A.P. Kroon B.K. Horenblas S. Gallee M.P. Berkhof J. Meijer C.J. Snijders P.J.

This issue should be further addressed in a numerically appropriate series of basaloid PSCCs. Here, we have reported for the first time the analysis of miRNA expression in PSCC. miR-218 was significantly down-regulated in HR-HPV+ PSCCs and in those without immunohistochemical detection of p53 as a consequence of epigenetic silencing of the SLIT2 promoter. Silencing of miR-218 and SLIT2 appears to be an important molecular event involved in PSCC and SCC oncogenesis." @default.
