ABSTRACT
Canine oral papillomavirus (COPV), also known as Canine Papillomavirus type 1 (CPV1), induces papillomas at the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and at the haired skin of dogs. The classification of Papillomavirus (PV) types is based on the L1 capsid protein and nucleotide sequence; so far, 14 CPV types have been described in several countries, but the molecular characterization of CPV in Brazil is lacking. This study investigated the presence of the PV in seven papillomas from four mixed breed dogs from Londrina/PR, Southern Brazil, by partial sequencing of the L1 gene. Seven exophytic cutaneous lesions were surgically removed and processed for histopathological and molecular characterization. Histopathology confirmed the lesions as viral papillomas due to typical histological features. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay using the FAP59 and FAP64 primers targeted the L1 gene followed by sequence analysis of the amplicons identified CPV1 in all evaluated papilloma samples. This study represents the first description of CPV1 DNA associated with canine papillomatosis in Brazil.
O papilomavírus oral canino (COPV), também denominado Papillomavirus canino tipo 1 (CPV1), tem a capacidade de induzir papilomas na mucosa da cavidade oral e também em pele de cães. A classificação dos tipos de papilomavírus (PV) é baseada na proteína L1 do capsídeo e na sequência de nucleotídeos que a codifica. Atualmente são descritos 14 tipos de CPV, no entanto, ainda faltam estudos moleculares relacionados à identificação dos tipos de CPV no Brasil. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a presença de PV em fragmentos de papilomas obtidos de quatro cães sem raça definida, provenientes de Londrina/PR, região sul do Brasil, e definir o tipo viral por meio da análise da sequência parcial de nucleotídeos do gene L1. Sete lesões cutâneas foram cirurgicamente removidas e processadas para a caracterização histopatológica e molecular. O exame histopatológico confirmou as lesões como papilomas. Foi realizada reação em cadeia de polimerase (PCR), utilizando os primers FAP59 FAP64 para a amplificação parcial do gene L1, seguida por análise das sequências dos produtos amplificados, que confirmou a presença do CPV1 em todas as amostras avaliadas. Este estudo representa a primeira identificação do DNA de CPV1 associado com papilomatose canina no Brasil.

Introducción: La relación entre virus papiloma humano (VPH) y cáncer escamoso de la vía aéreo-digestiva superior está claramente establecida en la literatura. Objetivo: El objetivo del presente trabajo es conocer la frecuencia de identificación de ADN de VPH y la distribución relativa de genotipos en muestras de carcinoma escamoso de laringe. Material y método: Se extrajo ADN desde muestras fijadas en formalina e incluidas en parafina, de biopsias de carcinoma escamoso de laringe de pacientes operados en el Servicio de Otorrinolaringología del Hospital San Juan de Dios. La detección de ADN viral se realizó mediante PCR con partidores de consenso MY09/11, y la genotipificación se realizó mediante endonucleasas de restricción Rsal. La calidad de la muestra se controló mediante amplificación de beta-globina. Resultados: Se incluyeron 90 casos. En 24 de ellos (27 por ciento) se identificó la presencia de ADN de VPH. Los genotipos más frecuentes fueron VPH18 (7/24), VPH16 (5/24), VPH54 (2/ 24). En 3 casos no se logró identificar el genotipo. No se detectaron infecciones múltiples. Conclusiones: La presencia de genotipos de VPH de alto riesgo oncogénico sugieren que el virus papiloma humano tendría un rol en la etiopatogenia de un subgrupo de pacientes portadores de carcinoma escamoso de laringe.
Introduction: Human papillomaviruses (HPV) have been detected in benign and neoplastic laryngeal lesions, with variable frequency (20-60 percent). These viral agents are proposed as an adjuvant or cofactor in head and neck carcinogenesis because of their oncogenic properties. Aim: The aim of this study was to identify HPV in laryngeal carcinoma samples and to describe their genotype distribution. Material and method: Tumor samples from patients with newly diagnosed laryngeal carcinomas were collected, fixed in formalin and paraffin-embedded. HPV genome was identified by use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers complementary to the conserved region L1 (MY09-11). Genotyping was accomplished by restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results: 24 of the 90 samples were positive for HPVDNA (27 percent), all of the samples were positive for human 3-globin. The genotypes identified were HPV 16(5 cases), HPV 18 (7 cases), and HPV 39, 45, 51, 58, 59, 61, and 66 (1 case each). Conclusions: High-risk HPV genotypes were identified, suggesting a role of human papilloma virus in the etiology of a subgroup of laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas.

Bovine papillomatosis is a common viral infection in Brazil that is caused by a bovine papillomavirus(BPV). Dissemination is by direct contact between infected animals, although the investigation of othermodes of transmission is a very important aspect in the management of this condition. BPV DNA sequenceshave been detected in many tissues by using the polymerase chain reaction. In this work, we used in situhybridization to detect BPV DNA sequences in bovine reproductive tissues and cells. The detection ofBPV in these tissues strongly suggests that these sequences could be an important alternative of viraltransmission that could contribute to the widespread incidence of bovine papillomatosis and its complexpathology. Alternatively, the viral sequences could result from cell apoptosis and may therefore not bedirectly involved in the infection.

El virus de polioma es capaz de inducir tumores en sus hospederos naturales y transformar células en cultivo. Por otro lado, el virus de papiloma humano se ha relacionado con diversos tipos de neoplasias; de manera particular con lesiones anogenitales humanas. No se conoce con exactitud el mecanismo a través del cual estos virus inducen transformación y tumorigénesis. El presente trabajo muestra algunas de las características de los mecanismos que utilizan los virus mencionados para participar en la transformación y tumorigénesis. Además, se ha encontrado que ciertos aspectos de la infección por el virus de polioma son parecidos a la infección del virus del papiloma (ambos pertenecen a la misma familia Papovaviridae), por lo que se consideran algunas semejanzas y diferencias entre los mismos
Polyomavirus is able to induce tumors in its natural host as well as to transform cells in cultures. On the other hand, human papillomavirus has been involved in several types of neoplasias such as anogenital lesions. Little is known about the mechanisms through which these viruses induce both transformation and tumorigenesis. The present work shows some characteristics of the mechanisms that papillomavirus and polyomavirus use to participate in tumorigenesis. It has also been noticed that the infection caused by polyomavirus resembles that performed by papillomaviruses (which belong to the same Papovaviridae family). Some similarities and differences between these viruses are considered.
