Abstract

Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) non-European variants have been associated with persistent infection and cervical cancer development, while the L83V variant of the E6 gene has been correlated with the progression of cervical malignancy. The present study investigated the presence of the HPV16 L83V variant in Greek women. Molecular evolutionary analysis of the HPV16 E6 and E7 oncogenes was conducted in order to estimate the evolution of the HPV16 genome in the Greek population. The E6 L83V variant was found in 78.2 % of high- and 64.28 % of low-grade specimens. Moreover, the prototype and E6 L83V variants were both prevalent in high- and low-grade malignancies in Greek women. Selective pressure analysis of the individual amino acid residues of HPV16 sequences from the Greek population indicates that codon 83 of the E6 protein, as well as codon 85 of the E7 protein, are undergoing positive selection. Novel sequence variations were recorded within the E6 and E7 genes in cervical samples, characterized as (T350G) European variants. However, no signal of intratypic recombination event was identified within the E6–E7 region. Molecular and evolutionary analyses of HPV16 genomes from distinct geographical locations might provide valuable information about viral evolution and oncogenecity.
