To cast light on the significance of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in cervical tumorigenesis, 44 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) types I/II, and 70 CIN III lesions, 60 invasive squamous cell carcinomas (ISCC), and 20 normal cervical samples were investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and RNA in situ hybridization (RISH) assays. The EBV genome was detected by PCR using primers targeting the IR region in three (6.8%) of the CIN I/II, 15 (21.4%) of the CIN III and 13 (21.7%) of the ISCC lesions, while using an EBER oligonucleotide probe RISH revealed positive signals in infiltrating lymphocytes located in the cervical stroma, but not in dysplastic or tumor cells. There was a significant correlation between the presence of EBV DNA and the degree of lymphoid cell infiltration (P = 0.0223). In contrast, none of the normal cervical samples that were without inflammation demonstrated any EBV infection. Thus, the results indicated that a positive result for EBV on PCR may be simply dependent on the amount of lymphocytes in cervical stroma, suggesting that this virus does not play a major role in the etiology of cervical neoplasia.
