Abstract

The present preliminary study aimed to investigate the association between oral human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) DNA prevalence and periodontal inflammation in older women. The association between oral HPV16 infection and oral health status has not been fully elucidated in older Japanese women. The present study investigated older women aged ≥60 years who visited Hiroshima University Hospital. The present study excluded subjects with clinical factors affecting HPV infection, such as current smoking, oral cancer and pre‑malignant lesions, and immunodeficiency. Finally, 46 female patients (mean age, 74.6 years) were analyzed. Quantitative PCR analysis was performed to detect HPV16 DNA in oral rinse samples. A total of 4 participants (8.7%) were HPV16 DNA positive. There was a significant association between the HPV16 DNA positivity rate and bleeding on probing (P=0.03). Additionally, Prevotella intermedia positive cases exhibited a significantly higher HPV16 DNA positivity rate than negative cases (33.3 vs 3.8%). Furthermore, analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA in bacterial flora was performed to examine microbiome diversity in participants with ≥6 mm periodontal pockets and bleeding on probing. Importantly, the average percentage of Porphyromonas was significantly higher in HPV16 DNA positive cases compared with in HPV16 DNA negative cases (5.57 vs. 1.44%). By contrast, the average percentage of Veillonella was significantly lower in HPV16 DNA positive cases than in HPV16 DNA negative cases (2.43 vs. 8.51%). Prevotella was also lower in HPV16 DNA positive cases than in HPV16 DNA negative cases (4.0 vs. 8.23%). These results indicated that people with both deep periodontal pocket inflammation and oral HPV16 infection may not have Prevotella‑ or Veillonella‑dominant oral microbiomes, and their microbiomes may exhibit their own distinctive characteristics. In conclusion, the results suggested that oral HPV16 infection may be associated with periodontal inflammation in older Japanese women. Further research is required to clarify the detailed association between oral HPV infection and the oral microbiome.
