Objective. To define the role of HPV L1 and NuMA1 expression in predicting cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN).
Material and methods. Cervical biopsies from 138 women with cervical neoplasias associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) were investigated by cytological, histological, immunocytochemical, and PCR assays.
Results. HR-HPV-positive mild (45.7%), moderate (29.7%), and severe (23.9%) forms of dysplasia, or carcinoma in situ (0.7%) were verified. Of them, there were 7.2% of pregnant women. Regression of dysplasia was noted in 61.4% of the studies of CIN with the nuclear expression of L1 and NuMA1; the persistent severity of a squamous epithelial lesion was shown in 31.8% of the studies, and progression of dysplasia was detected in 6.8%. Dysplasia regression and persistence were found in 52.2 and 47.8% of cases with CIN and NuMA1 expression, respectively. The regression, persistence, and progression of CIN were seen in 34.6, 57.7, and 7.7% of the studies of this lesion with L1 expression, respectively. Restoration of the typical structure of the cervical squamous epithelium was revealed in 71.4% of the women with the expression of L1 and NuMA1 or one of these proteins in the atypical cells during pregnancy. A control study demonstrated CIN persistence in pregnant women with no production of L1 and NuNA1 proteins by atypical cells.
Conclusion. With the atypical cells producing L1 and NuMA1 or one of these proteins, the regression, persistence, and progression of cervical squamous epithelial dysplasia were revealed in 51.6, 43.0, and 5.4% of the studies, respectively.
