Abstract

Background The role of the HPV E6/E7 oncogenes in head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) has been studied extensively, but the role of the viral E5 protein remains poorly understood. Studies in cervical cancer indicate that E5 increases epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) recycling to the cell surface and enhances growth factor signal transduction. Objective This study was designed to examine the relationship between HPV E5, EGFR, and survival in HPV-positive HNSCC. Study design A retrospective search of the London Health Sciences Centre pathology database was performed to identify oropharyngeal cancer samples. HPV E5 and EGFR expression was measured by reverse transcriptase real-time PCR. Results The majority of oropharyngeal tumor samples (59/82, 72%) were HPV-16 positive. Among the HPV-positive tumors, highly variable E5 expression was detected from early polycistronic transcripts. Tumors with high E5 expression levels had significantly higher EGFR levels (p=0.03). High E5 levels were correlated with improved recurrence-free survival, but not overall survival (p=0.02 and 0.71, respectively), whereas high EGFR was strongly associated with decreased recurrence-free and overall survival (p Conclusions HPV E5-encoded transcripts are variably expressed in HPV-positive HNSCC and this is correlated with EGFR expression in HPV-positive OPC. However, E5 and EGFR independently predict recurrence-free survival in opposing manners. These findings require further validation to…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
