Intratype variants of the E2 protein from human papillomavirus type 18 induce different gene expression profiles associated with apoptosis and cell proliferation.

Abstract：

:Persistent infections with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HR-HPVs) are linked to the development of cervical cancer due to a deregulation of the productive viral cycle in the host cell, leading to cell transformation. The E2 viral protein is expressed early during an HPV infection and regulates viral replication and transcription. Other functions have been attributed to E2, such as the promotion of apoptosis that are independent of its role in the regulation of the expression of E6 and E7 viral oncogenes. Moreover, it has been shown that the HPV16 E2 protein has regulatory effects on cellular gene expression, suggesting that it participates in the modulation of different cellular processes. Intratype genomic variations within high-risk HPV types have an impact on the prognosis of HPV-related lesions. Nevertheless, the biological significance of HPV18 E2 intratype variations has not been analysed previously. The aim of this study was to determine whether HPV18 E2 intratype variations differentially modulate gene expression and whether cell-death-related genes are affected by variations in E2. We demonstrate that HPV18 E2 intratype Asian Amerindian (AsAi) and African (Af) variants differentially affect gene expression profiles. Although the E2-AsAi variant was found to modulate a larger number of cellular genes, both E2 variants affected similar cellular processes. Nevertheless, E2-AsAi and E2-Af variants showed differences in their ability to induce apoptosis, where E2-Af had a stronger effect. The differences in gene expression profiles in cells harbouring E2 intratype variants suggest a possible effect on diverse cellular signalling pathways, and this might suggest an approach for identifying biological processes regulated by HPV18 E2 intratype variants.
