A shift from conventional cytology to a molecular approach could improve cervical cancer screening. This proof-of-concept study aims to develop a high-content imaging platform for the simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers for cervical disease. Liquid-based cytology (LBC) samples were used to optimize a dual ProExC/Ki-67 immunofluorescence staining protocol for SurePath-fixed cells. The simultaneous and automated detection of these biomarkers was performed using the BD Pathway 435 system. The ability of high-content imaging to detect dysplastic cervical cells was assessed using keratinocytes spiked with immunopositive SiHa cells and a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) LBC sample. The percentages of Ki-67- and ProExC-immunopositive objects correlated significantly with the percentages of spiked SiHa cells. The dysplastic cells of the HSIL sample could be detected using high-content cell analysis. In conclusion, high-content imaging allows the simultaneous and automated detection of Ki-67- and ProExC-immunopositive dysplastic cells in LBC specimens.

There are more supports for the view that human papillomavirus (HPV) infection might be an etiological factor in the development of cervical cancer when the association of persistent condylomata is considered. Biopsies from 318 cases with squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix, 48 with cervical and vulvar condylomata, 14 with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), 34 with chronic cervicitis and 24 normal cervical epithelium were collected from 5 geographic regions of China with different cervical cancer mortalities. All specimens were prepared for Dot blot, Southern blot and in situ DNA-DNA hybridizations by using HPV-11, 16, 18 DNA labelled with 32P and 3H as probes to detect viral homologous sequences in samples. Among them, 32 cases with cervical cancer, 27 with condyloma and 10 normal cervical epitheliums were randomly chosen for comparative EM observation. The results showed that: 1), 192 out of 318 (60.4%) cases of cervical cancer were positive for HPV-16 DNA probe (Table I)

Two new water-soluble amphiphilic Ru(ii) polypyridyl complexes were synthesised and their photophysical and photobiological properties evaluated; both complexes showed a rapid cellular uptake and phototoxicity against HeLa cervical cancer cells.
