Abstract :
Introduction: There is a powerful relationship between high-risk human papillomaviruses and lung cancer. In fact, inactivation of p53 is the most common genetic abnormality in lung cancer. Indeed, the frequency of HPV types and TP53 mutations in squamous cell carcinoma of lung, among patients from the northwest of Iran has been evaluated in this article. Methodes: Fifty Paraffin embedded blocks of lung SCC were selected for detection of HPV DNA by Nested PCR, and then DNA was sequenced for HPV typing. Equal numbers of positive and negative samples for the HPV DNA were examined for the presence of mutations in exons 5-7 of the TP53 gene by PCR and direct sequencing. Results: Overtly 9 (18%) of 50 samples presented the HPV DNA: eight were HPV-18 and one was HPV-6. TP53 mutations were found in 5 samples (27.7%). Of these, 4 cases showed mutations in exon 5 and one case contained a mutation in exon 7.The most frequent mutation in exon 5 was the C to G transversion (c.409C > G), and also the T to A tansversion (c.770T > A) in exon 7. Conclusion: This study showed that HPV-18 is more likely to conscequence in the development of lung cancer among some communities. Genetic alterations, alongside w
