Matrix Metalloproteinases and Human Papillomavirus in Dysplasias and Cancers of the Cervix (MMP-HPV)

August 27, 2019 updated by: University Hospital, Bordeaux

Involvement of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Association With the Expression of Human Papillomavirus in Dysplasias and Cancers of the Cervix

This study aims to compare the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors between 4 groups of patients defined according to the severity of the cervical lesion.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among European women under 45 years old. It is secondary to cervical dysplasia induced by persistent human papillomavirus infection. The involvement of matrix metalloproteinases in carcinogenesis of the cervix is real, but their expressions vary according to the published series. An association between the expression of MMPs and that of the human papillomavirus deserves to be explored, as this can have a prognostic influence in the case of gradual expression demonstrated in the development of (pre) cancerous lesions of the cervix.

This study aims to compare the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors between 4 groups of patients defined according to the severity of the cervical lesion.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Control group
Study of the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors
Two types of samples are envisaged: tissue (large biopsies, coin of conization or hysterectomy) to affirm the diagnosis and detect the matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors by immunohistochemistry; cell sample (monolayer smear type) to evaluate the expression of oncogenic Human papillomavirus.
Other: Low grade lesion group

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Immunohistochemical score of expressions of matrix metalloproteinases
Time Frame: At the screening
The immunohistochemical score is the modified HScore, also called Quickscore. It is calculated by multiplying the percentage of cells that are marked (from 0 to 100) by intensity (from 0 to 3). The total score is between 0 and 300. This score will be defined on normal, tumoral and stromal cells according to the analyzed tissue (normal, dysplasias or cancer)
