Ann Clin Microbiol Vol. 16, No. 2, June, 2013 http://dx.doi.org/10.5145/acm.2013.16.2.87 ISSN 2288-0585 Prevalence and Genotype of Human Papillomavirus Infection and Risk of Cervical Dysplasia among Asymptomatic Korean Women Soie Chung 1, Sue Shin 2,3, Jong Hyun Yoon 2,3, Eun Youn Roh 2, Sung Jun Seoung 2, Gyoung Pyoung Kim 2, Eui-Chong Kim 3 Department of Laboratory Medicine, 1 Seoul National University Hospital Healthcare System Gangnam Center, 2 Seoul National University Boramae Hospital, 3 Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea Background: The persistence of infection by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) may lead to cervical cancer. Recently, the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) announced that oncogenic HPV screening and the PAP smear are the main methods of screening for cervical cancer. The goal of this study was to investigate the prevalence and genotyping of HPV, as well as the risk of cervical dysplasia. Methods: HPV genotyping was conducted by a commercial chip assay. Cervical dysplasia was retrospectively reviewed using electronic medical records. The study participants were grouped together according to cervical dysplasia status: no dysplasia, atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). The HPV prevalence and genotyping were analyzed according to the cervical dysplasia group. Results: The overall prevalence of HPV was 17.6% (91 out of 518 patients). HPV-18 (2.3%), HPV-16 (2.1%), and HPV-58 (1.2%) were the three most frequent genotypes. The prevalence of HPV infection and the high-risk HPV positive rate was higher in the ASCUS, LSIL, and HSIL groups than in the no dysplasia group (P<0.05). Conclusion: In this study, basic data regarding the prevalence and distribution of HPV genotypes were obtained. Since HPV vaccination has been actively encouraged among Korean women, a change in the prevalence of HPV and cervical dysplasia is expected in the future. This study provided basic data describing the prevalence of HPV and its genotypes in the pre-hpv vaccination era.

MATERIALS AND METHODS 1. 연구대상 2011년 1월 3일부터 2011년 12월 30일까지서울특별시보라매병원건강증진센터에서 genotyping 검사가의뢰된환자들중, 동시에자궁경부질세포진검사를시행하고산부인과적증상이없는 518명의환자를대상으로하였다. 연령구성은 20-29세 4 명 (0.8%), 30-39 세 61명 (11.8%), 40-49세 130명 (25.1%), 50-59 세 182명 (35.1%), 60-69세 121명 (23.4%), 70-79세 19명 (3.7%), 80-89세 1명 (0.2%) 이었다. 본후향적의무기록연구는보라매병원의학연구윤리심의위원회의승인을받았다 (26-2012-26). 2. 연구방법 1) HPV genotyping: 환자의질분비물을 Digene Cervical brush and specimen transport medium (Digene, Silver Spring, MD, USA) 으로채취하여수송후, HPV genotyping chip (Goodgene, Seoul, Korea) 을사용하여제조사의지시에따라검사를시행하였다. 검사원리를간단히설명하자면다음과같다. HPV E6, E7, L1 유전자와사람베타글로빈유전자를증폭시킨후, 증폭된유전자산물을 DNA chip에얹어동소교잡반응을시키면 HPV 유전자형이형광으로나타난다. 이형광신호를스캐너로읽으면유전자형을알수있다 [8]. 이번연구에서진행한검사방법은다음과같다. L1, E6, E7 유전자와사람베타글로빈유전자를 Cy5-dUTP (NEN Life Science Products, Inc., Boston, USA) 로표지한후 10 μl의 HPV 증폭산물과 10 μl 의글로빈산물을 95 o C에서 2분간외가닥의 DNA로전환한후 3분간얼음위에식혔다. 검체를 50 μl의 GG 동소교잡버퍼 (Goodgene) 및후 0.2% SDS와혼합한후 DNA chip에얹었다. 동소교잡은 40 o C에서 2시간까지진행하였고, 3 SSPE에서 2분간세척후다시 1 SSPE로 2분간세척하여상온에서건조시켰다. 동소교잡신호는 Affymetrix 428 Array Scanner (Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA) 를이용하여시각화시켰다. 고위험 HPV 유전형 (HPV type 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68,69) 과저위험 HPV 유전형 (HPV type 6, 11, 34, 40, 42, 43, 44) 을검출하고자하였다 [9]. 2) Cerivical dysplasia 의구분 : 후향적으로환자의무기록검토를통하여자궁경부질세포진검사에서정상및염증소견을보인경우를 no dysplasia 군 으로분류하고, 미확정비정형편평상피세포 (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, ASCUS), 저등급편평상피내병변 (low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, LSIL), 고등급편평상피내병변 (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, HSIL) 으로판독된경우는각각 ASCUS 군, LSIL 군, HSIL 군 으로분류하였다. 3) 통계분석 : 연령별 HPV 유병률의비교에 Chi-square 법을사용하였고자궁경부질세포진검사결과에따른 HPV 유병률에 Fisher's exact test를사용하였다. 통계계산은 SPSS (Chicago, IL, USA) 18 버전을사용하였다. 모든유의수준은 P<0.05를기준으로하였다. 1. 대상환자의특성 RESULTS 자궁경부질세포진검사결과에따른대상군의구성은다음과같았다. PAP smear 결과에서정상소견 (no dysplasia) 을보인예는 496예 (95.8%), ASCUS 11예 (2.1%), LSIL 7예 (1.4%), HSIL 4예 (0.8%) 였다. 2. HPV 유병률및유전형분포 전체 HPV 감염유병률은 17.6% (91/518) 였다. 각 HPV 유전형별유병률을분석하였을때 HPV-18 (2.3%), HPV-16 (2.1%), HPV-58 (1.2%) 순으로높았다 (Fig. 1). HPV 양성환자들중 12.1% (11/91) 에서는여러유전형의중복감염이있었다 (HPV-16, HPV-43; HPV-16, HPV-35, HPV-68; HPV-16, HPV-39, HPV-58, HPV-66, HPV-40, HPV-43; HPV-18, HPV-33; HPV-18, HPV-35; HPV-18, HPV-39; HPV-18, HPV-40; HPV-18, HPV-58; HPV-18, HPV-68; HPV-35, HPV-58; HPV-35, HPV-66). 고위험 (high risk) 유전형의유병률은 8.5% (44/518) 였으며, 저위험 (low risk) 유전형의유병률은 0.6% (3/518), 위험도가밝혀지지않은기타유전형 (Other type) 의유병률은 8.5% (44/518) 였다. 각연령군내에서 HPV 유병률은 20-39세 27.7% (18/65), 40-49세 16.9% (22/130), Fig. 1. Prevalence of human papilloma virus in each genotype. The number of HPV-infected patients in each genotype, including both single and multi-infection was divided by total number of patients (n=518).

The high-risk HPV genotypes are more prevalent among HSIL (4/4, 100.0%), LSIL (3/7, 42.9%), and ASCUS (3/11, 27.3%) patients than no dysplasia patients (34/496, 6.9%) (no dysplasia vs. ASCUS, P=0.008; no dysplasia vs. LSIL, P=0.003; no dysplasia vs. HSIL, P<0.001). Abbreviation: HPV, human papilloma virus. 50-59세 15.9% (29/182), 60세이상 15.6% (22/141) 였다 (Table 1). 각연령군내에서고위험 HPV 유병률은 20-39세 12.3% (8/65), 40-49세 10.0% (13/130), 50-59세 4.9% (9/182), 60세이상 9.9% (14/141) 였다. 39세이하의환자의경우 40세이상의환자에비해 HPV 유병률이유의하게높았다 (27.7% vs. 16.1%, P=0.022). 고위험 HPV 유병률또한 39세이하의환자의경우 40세이상의환자에비해유의하게높았다 (12.3% vs. 7.8%, P=0.037). 3. 자궁경부질세포진검사와 HPV 자궁경부질세포진검사결과에따른 HPV genotyping 검사결과 HPV 감염유병률은 no dysplasia 군 (15.7%) 에비해 ASCUS 군 (45.5%), LSIL 군 (57.1%), HSIL 군 (100.0%) 에서유의하게높았다 (no dysplasia vs. ASCUS, P=0.008; no dysplasia vs. HPV any HPV-16 HPV-18 HPV-31 HPV-33 HPV-35 HPV-39 HPV-45 HPV-52 HPV-56 HPV-58 HPV-59 HPV-66 HPV-68 HPV-6 HPV-34 HPV-40 HPV-43 Other 78 (15.7) 10 (2.0)* 9 (1.8)* 4 (0.8)* 3 (0.6) 2 (0.4)* 2 (0.4)* 41 (8.3) 5 (45.5) 2 (18.2) 4 (57.1) 4 (100.0) 1 (25.0) 1 (25.0) The values are presented as number and percentage (%) in parentheses. *Total of 11 cases were known as multiple genotype infections (HPV-16, HPV-43 coinfection; HPV-16, HPV-35, and HPV-68 coinfection; HPV-16, HPV-39, HPV-58, HPV-66, HPV-40, and HPV-43 coinfection; HPV-18, HPV-33 coinfection; HPV-18, HPV-35 coinfection; HPV-18, HPV-39 coinfection; HPV-18, HPV-40 coinfection; HPV-18, HPV-58 coinfection; HPV-18, HPV-68 coinfection; HPV-35, HPV-58 coinfection; HPV-35, HPV-66 coinfection).

90 Ann Clin Microbiol 2013;16(2):87-91 DISCUSSION 이번연구에서 HPV 유병률은 17.6% 로나타났다. 이는성매매직업여성을대상으로한연구 [5] 에서제시한 40.7% 의유병률과 18개의연구를기반으로메타분석을한기존논문 [4] 의유병률 (23.9%) 과비교하였을때낮은수치이나이는연구대상의특성에따른차이로보인다. 그근거로다수의남성과성관계를가진여성에서 HPV 유병률이그렇지않은여성에비해최고 6.9배의교차비를보였다는보고가있다 [6]. 또한기존연구 [4] 의메타분석에들어간상당수의연구대상이조직학적검사상다수의 HSIL 혹은자궁경부암환자를포함하고있기때문에산부인과적증상이없이선별검사의목적으로건강건강증진센터에방문한여성들을대상으로한이번연구에서보다유병률이높았던것으로판단된다. 2002년에건강증진센터방문여성을대상으로진행된연구 [7] 에따르면유병률은 15.5% 로이번연구와유사하다고볼수있다. 이번연구의자궁경부질세포진검사결과 no dysplasia 로분류된환자에서 HPV-16 (2.0%), HPV-18 (1.8%), HPV-58 (0.8%) 의세유전형이기존의메타분석연구 [4] 와동일하게가장유병률이높은것으로나타났다. 또한 2,308명의성매매직업여성을대상으로유전형분석을한연구에서도 HPV-16 (23.0%), HPV-58 (9.8%), HPV-18 (8.7%) 의순으로세가지유전형이유병률이높다는결과가보고되었다 [5]. HPV-58 은외국에비해우리나라에서자궁경부암이나 HSIL 환자에서유병률이높은것으로알려져있다 [2,4,10]. 따라서상대적으로 HPV-58의유병률의높은우리나라에서향후 HPV-16, HPV-18을표적으로하는백신접종후발암기전에 HPV-58이어떤작용을하는지밝히는것이중요할것이며이를토대로지역에따라서는 HPV-58을표적으로하는백신을개발할필요도있을것이다. 이번연구에서는산부인과적증상이없는건강한한국여성을대상으로 HPV 유병률및 HPV 유전자형의분포와자궁이형성증과의연관성에대한자료를구축하였다. 최근자궁경부 암백신접종이적극적으로권장되고있어향후한국여성에서 HPV와자궁이형성증유병률의변화가있을것으로생각되며저자들은이번연구가기본자료로역할을할것이라판단된다.
