This study investigated the correlation between Lactobacillus vaginalis and postmenopausal cervical lesions, and found that it is associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and promotes the development of cervical lesions.
Background: To detect the correlation between Lactobacillus vaginalis and the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related factors, E-cadherin, beta-catenin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin, in postmenopausal cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs) and cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and to explore the possible mechanism. Methods: From January 2016 to January 2020, 30 postmenopausal patients with low-grade SIL (LSIL), 18 patients with high-grade SIL (HSIL), and 30 patients with SCC who underwent colposcopy biopsy in the Outpatient Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University were selected as the experimental group, and 30 postmenopausal normal women were selected as the control group. The expression of 16SrRNA of Lactobacillus vaginalis in each group was determined by the 16S third-generation full-length amplification sequencing technique. The mRNA expression levels of E-cadherin, beta-catenin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The correlation between the 16SrRNA expression level of Lactobacillus vaginalis and the mRNA expression level of the EMT-related proteins was compared among all groups. Results: (I) The progression of postmenopausal cervical SILs to cervical SCC was significantly positively correlated with age, number of pregnancies, smoking, pII value, positive rate of IIPV16, and negatively correlated with total Lactobacillus 16SrRNA expression (P<0.0001). (II) The level of vaginal microbiota in postmenopausal women showed that Lactobacillus iners was dominant. With the progression of the disease, the expression levels of 16SrRNA in Lactobacillus iners and Lactobacillus total vagina decreased gradually, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). (III) With the disease progresses. The expression of total Lactobacillus 16SrRNA was positively correlated with the mRNA expression of beta-catenin and E-cadherin (r>0; P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the mRNA expression of Vimentin and N-cadherin (r<0; P<0.05). Conclusions: In postmenopausal women, Lactobacillus vaginalis interacts with HPV and is associated with the occurrence of EMT, promoting the development of cervical lesions.
