High-Risk Human Papillomavirus E6/E7 mRNA Is Rarely Detected in Nonanogenital Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: An RNA In Situ Hybridization–Based Tissue Microarray Study

Abstract: High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is known to play an oncogenic role in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) at certain anatomical sites, namely the uterine cervix, oropharynx, and anogenital skin. However, the association between HR-HPV and nonanogenital cutaneous SCC (CSCC) remains controversial. In this study, we addressed this controversy by performing HR-HPV E6/E7 mRNA in situ hybridization (ISH) on 243 CSCC samples. A cocktail of E6/E7 mRNA ISH probes, recognizing 18 HR-HPV genotypes, was applied to a tissue microarray of paraffin-embedded sections of 154 invasive and 89 in situ CSCC specimens. The anatomical sites of CSCC included the head and neck (n = 100), extremities (n = 100), trunk (n = 25), and anogenitalia (n = 18). We also investigated the correlation between the p16 expression and HR-HPV status by immunohistochemistry. The results of HR-HPV E6/E7 mRNA ISH showed that 5.8% (14/243) of all CSCC samples were positive for HR-HPV, including 66.7% (12/18) of the anogenital and only 0.9% (2/225) of the nonanogenital CSCC samples (P
