Human papillomavirus is known to be the major pathogen of cervical cancer. Here, we report the efficacy of a bivalent human papillomavirus type 16 and 18 DNA vaccine system following repeated dosing in mice and pigs using a recombinant baculovirus bearing human endogenous retrovirus envelope protein (AcHERV) as a vector. The intramuscular administration of AcHERV-based HPV16L1 and HPV18L1 DNA vaccines induced antigen-specific serum IgG, vaginal IgA, and neutralizing antibodies to levels comparable to those achieved using the commercially marketed vaccine Cervarix. Similar to Cervarix, AcHERV-based bivalent vaccinations completely blocked subsequent vaginal challenge with HPV type-specific pseudovirions. However, AcHERV-based bivalent vaccinations induced significantly higher cell-mediated immune responses than Cervarix, promoting 4.5- (HPV16L1) and 3.9-(HPV18L1) fold higher interferon-γ production in splenocytes upon stimulation with antigen type-specific pseudovirions. Repeated dosing did not affect the immunogenicity of AcHERV DNA vaccines. Three sequential immunizations with AcHERV-HP18L1 DNA vaccine followed by three repeated dosing with AcHERV-HP16L1 over 11 weeks induced an initial production of anti-HPV18L1 antibody followed by subsequent induction of anti-HPV16L1 antibody. Finally, AcHERV-based bivalent DNA vaccination induced antigen-specific serum IgG immune responses in pigs. These results support the further development of AcHERV as a bivalent human papillomavirus DNA vaccine system for use in preventing the viral infection as well as treating the infected women by inducing both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Moreover, the possibility of repeated dosing indicates the utility of AcHERV system for reusable vectors of other viral pathogen vaccines. 相似文献

HPV prophylactic vaccination based on VLPs was implemented 7 years ago and has now shown a high degree of efficiency to reduce HPV-induced lesions. Moreover, it was shown that HPV-derived virus-like particles or pseudovirions could be used as gene therapy vectors. As a consequence, characterization of the antigenic structure of HPV capsids is crucial for designing future HPV vaccines with better or broader efficacy and for the design of HPV-derived gene therapy vectors with reduced immunogenicity or vaccination escaping. In this study, we have generated 10 HPV16 FG loop L1 protein mutants and analyzed their ability to self-assemble into VLP, their immunogenicity, and their ability to transduce cells when used as pseudovirions. Most of the mutants had lost their ability to transduce cells at the exception of two chimeric HPV16/31 L1 protein FG loop mutants. Sera from mice immunized with HPV16 L1 wt VLPs very weakly neutralized pseudovirions derived from these two HPV16/31 L1 protein FG loop mutants. These findings suggest that only a few point substitutions within the FG loop are sufficient to generate a new serotype escaping vaccination. As a consequence, derived pseudovirions might be suitable as gene therapy vectors in vaccinated subjects. 相似文献

Polyomavirus and papillomavirus (papovavirus) capsids are composed of 72 capsomeres of their major capsid proteins, VP1 and L1, respectively. After translation in the cytoplasm, L1 and VP1 pentamerize into capsomeres and are then imported into the nucleus using the cellular α and β karyopherins. Virion assembly only occurs in the nucleus, and cellular mechanisms exist to prevent premature capsid assembly in the cytosol. We have identified the karyopherin family of nuclear import factors as possible “chaperones” in preventing the cytoplasmic assembly of papovavirus capsomeres. Recombinant murine polyomavirus (mPy) VP1 and human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV11) L1 capsomeres bound the karyopherin heterodimer α2β1 in vitro in a nuclear localization signal (NLS)-dependent manner. Because the amino acid sequence comprising the NLS of VP1 and L1 overlaps the previously identified DNA binding domain, we examined the relationship between karyopherin and DNA binding of both mPy VP1 and HPV11 L1. Capsomeres of L1, but not VP1, bound by karyopherin α2β1 or β1 alone were unable to bind DNA. VP1 and L1 capsomeres could bind both karyopherin α2 and DNA simultaneously. Both VP1 and L1 capsomeres bound by karyopherin α2β1 were unable to assemble into capsids, as shown by in vitro assembly reactions. These results support a role for karyopherins as chaperones in the in vivo regulation of viral capsid assembly. 相似文献

The licensed human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines elicit type-restricted immunity but do not target cutaneous HPV types of the beta genus that are associated with non-melanoma skin cancer in immune-compromised patients, and it is unclear if these diverse types share a common mechanism of infection. Residues 11-88 of minor capsid protein L2 contain cross-protective epitopes, and vaccination with concatamers of this region derived from as many as eight alpha HPV (L2 α11-88x8) is being developed as an alternative prophylactic vaccine with potentially broader efficacy. There is also interest in developing broadly protective topical microbicides, such as carrageenan or heparin that block HPV receptor interactions, or small molecule inhibitors of infection. Here we have examined several inhibitors of HPV infection and antisera to L2 α11-88x8 for their breadth of activity against infection by 34 HPV types from within both the alpha and beta families using pseudovirions (PsV) carrying a luciferase reporter as surrogates for native virus. We observed that both heparin and carrageenan prevented infection by mucosatropic HPV types, but surprisingly PsV of several epidermotropic alpha4 and beta HPV types exhibited increased infectivity especially at low inhibitor concentrations. Furin and γ-secretase inhibitors and L2 α11-88x8 antiserum blocked infection by all HPV PsV types tested. These findings suggest that the distinct tropism of mucosal and cutaneous HPV may reflect distinct cell surface receptor interactions, but a common uptake mechanism dependent upon furin and γ-secretase proteolytic activities. Carrageenan, which is being tested as a vaginal microbicide, broadly inhibited infection by the high-risk mucosatropic HPV PsV, but not most skin tropic alpha and beta HPV. Vaccination with an L2 multimer derived exclusively from alpha papillomavirus sequences induced antibodies that broadly neutralized PsV of all 34 HPVs from within both the alpha and beta families, suggesting each displays conserved L2 neutralizing epitopes. 相似文献

Persistent infection with oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPV) types causes all cervical and a subset of other anogenital and oropharyngeal carcinomas. Four high-risk (hr) mucosal types HPV16, 18, 45, or 59 cause almost all cervical adenocarcinomas (AC), a subset of cervical cancer (CxC). Although the incidence of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has dramatically decreased following introduction of Papanicolaou (PAP) screening, the proportion of AC has relatively increased. Cervical SCC arise mainly from the ectocervix, whereas AC originate primarily from the endocervical canal, which is less accessible to obtain viable PAP smears. Licensed (bivalent and quadrivalent) HPV vaccines comprise virus-like particles (VLP) of the most important hr HPV16 and 18, self-assembled from the major capsid protein L1. Due to mainly type-restricted efficacy, both vaccines do not target 13 additional hr mucosal types causing 30% of CxC. The papillomavirus genus alpha species 7 (α7) includes a group of hr types of which HPV18, 45, 59 are proportionally overrepresented in cervical AC and only partially (HPV18) targeted by current vaccines. To target these types, we generated a chimeric vaccine antigen that consists of a cross-neutralizing epitope (homologue of HPV16 RG1) of the L2 minor capsid protein of HPV45 genetically inserted into a surface loop of HPV18 L1 VLP (18L1-45RG1). Vaccination of NZW rabbits with 18L1-45RG1 VLP plus alum-MPL adjuvant induced high-titer neutralizing antibodies against homologous HPV18, that cross-neutralized non-cognate hr α7 types HPV39, 45, 68, but not HPV59, and low risk HPV70 in vitro, and induced a robust L1-specific cellular immune response. Passive immunization protected mice against experimental vaginal challenge with pseudovirions of HPV18, 39, 45 and 68, but not HPV59 or the distantly related α9 type HPV16. 18L1-45RG1 VLP might be combined with our previously described 16L1-16RG1 VLP to develop a second generation bivalent vaccine with extended spectrum against hr HPV. 相似文献

Antibodies specific for neutralizing epitopes in either Human papillomavirus (HPV) capsid protein L1 or L2 can mediate protection from viral challenge and thus their accurate and sensitive measurement at high throughput is likely informative for monitoring response to prophylactic vaccination. Here we compare measurement of L1 and L2-specific neutralizing antibodies in human sera using the standard Pseudovirion-Based Neutralization Assay (L1-PBNA) with the newer Furin-Cleaved Pseudovirion-Based Neutralization Assay (FC-PBNA), a modification of the L1-PBNA intended to improve sensitivity towards L2-specific neutralizing antibodies without compromising assay of L1-specific responses. For detection of L1-specific neutralizing antibodies in human sera, the FC- PBNA and L1-PBNA assays showed similar sensitivity and a high level of correlation using WHO standard sera (n = 2), and sera from patients vaccinated with Gardasil (n = 30) or an experimental human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) L1 VLP vaccine (n = 70). The detection of L1-specific cross-neutralizing antibodies in these sera using pseudovirions of types phylogenetically-related to those targeted by the L1 virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines was also consistent between the two assays. However, for sera from patients (n = 17) vaccinated with an L2-based immunogen (TA-CIN), the FC-PBNA was more sensitive than the L1-PBNA in detecting L2-specific neutralizing antibodies. Further, the neutralizing antibody titers measured with the FC-PBNA correlated with those determined with the L2-PBNA, another modification of the L1-PBNA that spacio-temporally separates primary and secondary receptor engagement, as well as the protective titers measured using passive transfer studies in the murine genital-challenge model. In sum, the FC-PBNA provided sensitive measurement for both L1 VLP and L2-specific neutralizing antibody in human sera. Vaccination with TA-CIN elicits weak cross-protective antibody in a subset of patients, suggesting the need for an adjuvant. 相似文献

Studies of virus neutralization by antibody are a prerequisite for development of a prophylactic vaccine strategy against human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Using HPV16 and -6 pseudovirions capable of inducing beta-galactosidase in infected monkey COS-1 cells, we examined the neutralizing activity of mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that recognize surface epitopes in HPV16 minor capsid protein L2. Two MAbs binding to a synthetic peptide with the HPV16 L2 sequence of amino acids (aa) 108 to 120 were found to inhibit pseudoinfections with HPV16 as well as HPV6. Antisera raised by immunizing BALB/c mice with the synthetic peptide had a cross-neutralizing activity similar to that of the MAb. The data indicate that HPV16 and -6 have a common cross-neutralization epitope (located within aa 108 to 120 of L2 in HPV16), suggesting that this epitope may be shared by other genital HPVs. 相似文献

Artificial viruses consisting of DNA plasmid packaged in vitro into virus-like particles (VLPs) are new vehicles for gene transfer. We therefore investigated the ability of nine human papillomavirus (HPV) VLPs to interact with heterologous DNA and transfer genes. HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 39, 45, 58, 59, and 68 VLPs were able to bind heterologous DNA and to transfer genes into Cos-7 cells. Inhibition of gene transfer by preincubation of the pseudovirions with heparin confirmed that heparan sulfate on the cell surface plays a role as cell receptor for HPVs. As HPV neutralizing antibodies are mainly type-specific, gene transfer with different HPV pseudovirions offers the possibility of their sequential use in vivo for a greater efficacy. 相似文献

The first step of papillomavirus infection is believed to be binding of major capsid protein L1 to the cell surface without involvement of minor capsid protein L2, but the viral infectivity can be neutralized either by anti-L1 or anti-L2 antibody. To understand the role of L2 in human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, we examined a segment of HPV type 16 (HPV16) L2, which contains a neutralization epitope common to HPV6, for its involvement in adsorption and penetration of the capsids. Preincubation of monkey COS-1 cells with a synthetic peptide having amino acids (aa) 108 to 120 of HPV16 L2 reduced the susceptibility of COS-1 cells to infection with HPV16 pseudovirions. Confocal microscopy showed that the green fluorescence protein (GFP) fused with the L2 peptide was found to bind to the surface of a HeLa cell, an HPV18-positive human cancer cell line, at 4 degrees C and to enter the cytoplasm after subsequent incubation at 37 degrees C. Flow cytometry showed that fused GFP did not bind to HeLa cells that had been treated with trypsin. Besides COS-1 and HeLa cells, some human and rodent cell lines were detected by flow cytometry to be susceptible to binding with fused GFP, showing a tendency of epithelial cells toward higher susceptibility. Substitutions at aa 108 to 111 inhibited fused GFP from binding to HeLa cells and reduced the infectivity in COS-1 cells of the in vitro-constructed pseudovirions. The results suggest that L2 plays an important role in enhancing HPV infection through interaction between the N-terminal region and a cellular surface protein, facilitating penetration of the virions and determining part of the tropism of HPVs. 相似文献

Objectives
Naked DNA vaccines can be manufactured simply and are stable at ambient temperature, but require improved delivery technologies to boost immunogenicity. Here we explore in vivo electroporation for multivalent codon-optimized human papillomavirus (HPV) L1 and L2 DNA vaccination.Methods
Balb/c mice were vaccinated three times at two week intervals with a fusion protein comprising L2 residues ∼11−88 of 8 different HPV types (11−88×8) or its DNA expression vector, DNA constructs expressing L1 only or L1+L2 of a single HPV type, or as a mixture of several high-risk HPV types and administered utilizing electroporation, i.m. injection or gene gun. Serum was collected two weeks and 3 months after the last vaccination. Sera from immunized mice were tested for in-vitro neutralization titer, and protective efficacy upon passive transfer to naive mice and vaginal HPV challenge. Heterotypic interactions between L1 proteins of HPV6, HPV16 and HPV18 in 293TT cells were tested by co-precipitation using type-specific monoclonal antibodies.Results
Electroporation with L2 multimer DNA did not elicit detectable antibody titer, whereas DNA expressing L1 or L1+L2 induced L1-specific, type-restricted neutralizing antibodies, with titers approaching those induced by Gardasil. Co-expression of L2 neither augmented L1-specific responses nor induced L2-specific antibodies. Delivery of HPV L1 DNA via in vivo electroporation produces a stronger antibody response compared to i.m. injection or i.d. ballistic delivery via gene gun. Reduced neutralizing antibody titers were observed for certain types when vaccinating with a mixture of L1 (or L1+L2) vectors of multiple HPV types, likely resulting from heterotypic L1 interactions observed in co-immunoprecipitation studies. High titers were restored by vaccinating with individual constructs at different sites, or partially recovered by co-expression of L2, such that durable protective antibody titers were achieved for each type.Discussion
Multivalent vaccination via in vivo electroporation requires spatial separation of individual type L1 DNA vaccines. 相似文献12.

The inability of papillomaviruses (PV) to replicate in tissue culture cells has hampered the study of the PV life cycle. We investigated virus-cell interactions by the following two methods: (i) using purified bovine PV virions or human PV type 11 (HPV type 11) virus-like particles (VLP) to test the binding to eukaryotic cells and (ii) using different VLP-reporter plasmid complexes of HPV6b, HPV11 L1 or HPV11 L1/L2, and HPV16 L1 or HPV16 L1/L2 to study uptake of particles into different cell lines. Our studies showed that PV capsids bind to a broad range of cells in culture in a dose-dependent manner. Binding of PV capsids to cells can be blocked by pretreating the cells with the protease trypsin. Penetration of PV into cells was monitored by using complexes in which the purified PV capsids were physically linked to DNA containing the gene for beta-galactosidase driven by the human cytomegalovirus promoter. Expression of beta-galactosidase occurred in < 1% of the cells, and the efficiency of PV receptor-mediated gene delivery was greatly enhanced (up to 10 to 20% positive cells) by the use of a replication-defective adenovirus which promotes endosomal lysis. The data generated by this approach further confirmed the results obtained from the binding assays, showing that PV enter a wide range of cells and that these cells have all functions required for the uptake of PV. Binding and uptake of PV particles can be blocked by PV-specific antisera, and different PV particles compete for particle uptake. Our results suggest that the PV receptor is a conserved cell surface molecule(s) used by different PV and that the tropism of infection by different PV is controlled by events downstream of the initial binding and uptake. 相似文献

We report a system for generating infectious papillomaviruses in vitro that facilitates the analysis of papillomavirus assembly, infectivity, and serologic relatedness. Cultured hamster BPHE-1 cells harboring autonomously replicating bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV1) genomes were infected with recombinant Semliki Forest viruses that express the structural proteins of BPV1. When plated on C127 cells, extracts from cells expressing L1 and L2 together induced numerous transformed foci that could be specifically prevented by BPV neutralizing antibodies, demonstrating that BPV infection was responsible for the focal transformation. Extracts from BPHE-1 cells expressing L1 or L2 separately were not infectious. Although Semliki Forest virus-expressed L1 self-assembled into virus-like particles (VLPs), viral DNA was detected in particles only when L2 was coexpressed with L1, indicating that genome encapsidation requires L2. Expression of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) L1 and L2 together in BPHE-1 cells also yielded infectious virus. These pseudotyped virions were neutralized by antiserum to HPV16 VLPs derived from European (114/K) or African (Z-1194) HPV16 variants but not by antisera to BPV VLPs, to a poorly assembling mutant HPV16 L1 protein, or to VLPs of closely related genital HPV types. Extracts from BPHE-1 cells coexpressing BPV L1 and HPV16 L2 or HPV16 L1 and BPV L2 were not infectious. We conclude that (i) mouse C127 cells express the cell surface receptor for HPV16 and are able to uncoat HPV16 capsids; (ii) if a papillomavirus DNA packaging signal exists, then it is conserved between the BPV and HPV16 genomes; (iii) functional L1-L2 interaction exhibits type specificity; and (iv) protection by HPV virus-like particle vaccines is likely to be type specific. 相似文献

Full-length genomic DNA of the recently identified laboratory mouse papillomavirus 1 (MusPV1) was synthesized in vitro and was used to establish and characterize a mouse model of papillomavirus pathobiology. MusPV1 DNA, whether naked or encapsidated by MusPV1 or human papillomavirus 16 (HPV 16) capsids, efficiently induced the outgrowth of papillomas as early as 3 weeks after application to abraded skin on the muzzles and tails of athymic NCr nude mice. High concentrations of virions were extracted from homogenized papillomatous tissues and were serially passaged for >10 generations. Neutralization by L1 antisera confirmed that infectious transmission was capsid mediated. Unexpectedly, the skin of the murine back was much less susceptible to virion-induced papillomas than the muzzle or tail. Although reporter pseudovirions readily transduced the skin of the back, infection with native MusPV1 resulted in less viral genome amplification and gene expression on the back, including reduced expression of the L1 protein and very low expression of the L2 protein, results that imply skin region-specific control of postentry aspects of the viral life cycle. Unexpectedly, L1 protein on the back was predominantly cytoplasmic, while on the tail the abundant L1 was cytoplasmic in the lower epithelial layers and nuclear in the upper layers. Nuclear localization of L1 occurred only in cells that coexpressed the minor capsid protein, L2. The pattern of L1 protein staining in the infected epithelium suggests that L1 expression occurs earlier in the MusPV1 life cycle than in the life cycle of high-risk HPV and that virion assembly is regulated by a previously undescribed mechanism. 相似文献

Vaccinia virus vectors were used to express the major (L1) and minor (L2) capsid proteins of human papillomavirus type 1 (HPV-1) with the vaccinia virus early (p7.5K) or late (pSynth, p11K) promoters. All constructs expressed the appropriate-sized HPV proteins, and both L1 and L2, singly or in combination, localized to the nucleus. Capsids were purified by cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation from nuclei of cells infected with a vaccinia virus-L1 (vac-L1) recombinant or a vac-L1-L2 recombinant but not from vac-L2-infected cells. Electron microscopy showed that the particles were 55 nm in diameter and had icosahedral symmetry. Immunogold-labeled antibodies confirmed the presence of the L1 and L2 proteins in the HPV-1 capsids. Capsids containing L1 alone were fewer and more variable in size and shape than capsids containing the L1 and L2 proteins. The L1-plus-L2 capsids were indistinguishable in appearance from HPV-1 virions obtained from plantar warts. The ability to produce HPV capsids in vitro will be useful in many studies of HPV pathogenicity. 相似文献

The human papillomavirus (HPV) minor capsid protein L2 is a promising candidate for a broadly protective HPV vaccine yet the titers obtained in most experimental systems are rather low. Here we examine the potential of empty AAV2 particles (AAVLPs), assembled from VP3 alone, for display of L2 epitopes to enhance their immunogenicity. Insertion of a neutralizing epitope (amino acids 17-36) from L2 of HPV16 and HPV31 into VP3 at positions 587 and 453, respectively, permitted assembly into empty AAV particles (AAVLP(HPV16/31L2)). Intramuscularly vaccination of mice and rabbits with AAVLP(HPV16/31L2)s in montanide adjuvant, induced high titers of HPV16 L2 antibodies as measured by ELISA. Sera obtained from animals vaccinated with the AAVLP(HPV16/31L2)s neutralized infections with several HPV types in a pseudovirion infection assay. Lyophilized AAVLP(HPV16/31L2) particles retained their immunogenicity upon reconstitution. Interestingly, vaccination of animals that were pre-immunized with AAV2--simulating the high prevalence of AAV2 antibodies in the population--even increased cross neutralization against HPV31, 45 and 58 types. Finally, passive transfer of rabbit antisera directed against AAVLP(HPV16/31L2)s protected na?ve mice from vaginal challenge with HPV16 pseudovirions. In conclusion, AAVLP(HPV16/31L2) particles have the potential as a broadly protective vaccine candidate regardless of prior exposure to AAV. 相似文献

Background
Human papillomavirus (HPV) capsids are composed of 72 pentamers of the major capsid protein L1, and an unknown number of L2 minor capsid proteins. An N-terminal “external loop” of L2 contains cross-neutralizing epitopes, and native HPV16 virions extracted from 20-day-old organotypic tissues are neutralized by anti-HPV16 L2 antibodies but virus from 10-day-old cultures are not, suggesting that L2 epitopes are more exposed in mature, 20-day virions. This current study was undertaken to determine whether cross-neutralization of other HPV types is similarly dependent on time of harvest and to screen for the most effective cross-neutralizing epitope in native virions.Methodology and Principal Findings
Neutralization assays support that although HPV16 L2 epitopes were only exposed in 20-day virions, HPV31 or HPV18 epitopes behaved differently. Instead, HPV31 and HPV18 L2 epitopes were exposed in 10-day virions and remained so in 20-day virions. In contrast, presumably due to sequence divergence, HPV45 was not cross-neutralized by any of the anti-HPV16 L2 antibodies. We found that the most effective cross-neutralizing antibody was a polyclonal antibody named anti-P56/75 #1, which was raised against a peptide consisting of highly conserved HPV16 L2 amino acids 56 to 75.Conclusions and Significance
This is the first study to determine the susceptibility of multiple, native high-risk HPV types to neutralization by L2 antibodies. Multiple anti-L2 antibodies were able to cross-neutralize HPV16, HPV31, and HPV18. Only neutralization of HPV16 depended on the time of tissue harvest. These data should inform attempts to produce a second-generation, L2-based vaccine. 相似文献19.
L1 major capsid proteins of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) enter the nuclei of host cells at two times during the viral life cycle: 1) after infection and 2) later during the productive phase, when they assemble the replicated HPV genomic DNA into infectious virions. L1 proteins are stable in two oligomeric configurations: as homopentameric capsomers, and as capsids composed of 72 capsomers. We found that intact L1 capsids of HPV type 11 cannot enter the nucleus, suggesting that capsid disassembly may be required for HPV11 L1 nuclear import. We established that HPV11 L1 is imported in a receptor-mediated manner into the nuclei of digitonin-permeabilized HeLa cells. HPV11 L1 docked at the nuclear pore complexes via karyopherin alpha2beta1 heterodimers. Anti-karyopherin-beta1 and anti-karyopherin alpha2 antibodies specifically inhibited nuclear import of HPV11 L1. Moreover, nuclear import of HPV11 L1 could be reconstituted using karyopherin alpha2, beta1, RanGDP and p10. In agreement with the docking and import data, we found that HPV11 L1 binds to karyopherin alpha2 and that this interaction is inhibited by a peptide representing the classical nuclear localization signal of SV40 T antigen. These results strongly suggest that HPV11 L1 enters the nucleus of the infected host cell via the karyopherin alpha2beta1 pathway. 相似文献

The mechanism by which papillomaviruses breach cellular membranes to deliver their genomic cargo to the nucleus is poorly understood. Here, we show that infection by a broad range of papillomavirus types requires the intramembrane protease γ secretase. The γ-secretase inhibitor (S,S)-2-[2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-acetylamino]-N-(1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[e][1,4]diazepin-3-yl)-propionamide (compound XXI) inhibits infection in vitro by all types of papillomavirus pseudovirions tested, with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 130 to 1,000 pM, regardless of reporter construct and without impacting cellular viability. Conversely, XXI does not inhibit in vitro infection by adenovirus or pseudovirions derived from the BK or Merkel cell polyomaviruses. Vaginal application of XXI prevents infection of the mouse genital tract by human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) pseudovirions. Nicastrin and presenilin-1 are essential components of the γ-secretase complex, and mouse embryo fibroblasts deficient in any one of these components were not infected by HPV16, whereas wild-type and β-secretase (BACE1)-deficient cells were susceptible. Neither the uptake of HPV16 into Lamp-1-positive perinuclear vesicles nor the disassembly of capsid to reveal both internal L1 and L2 epitopes and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-labeled encapsidated DNA is dependent upon γ-secretase activity. However, blockade of γ-secretase activity by XXI prevents the BrdU-labeled DNA encapsidated by HPV16 from reaching the ND10 subnuclear domains. Since prior studies indicate that L2 is critical for endosomal escape and targeting of the viral DNA to ND10 and that γ secretase is located in endosomal membranes, our findings suggest that either L2 or an intracellular receptor are cleaved by γ secretase as papillomavirus escapes the endosome.The necessary causal association of persistent infection by an “oncogenic” type of human papillomavirus (HPV) with cervical cancer is firmly established (52, 53). HPV is the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection, and although the majority of patients clear their infection, HPV is directly responsible for 5% of all cancer deaths worldwide (30). HPV is also associated with multiple other anogenital cancers and oropharyngeal cancers.The life cycle of HPV is closely linked to epithelial differentiation within stratified squamous epithelia (16). Initial infection occurs within the undifferentiated proliferative basal cell layer in which only the viral early proteins are expressed, whereas production of the late proteins and, thus, progeny virus is restricted to the terminally differentiated suprabasal compartment (53). The exquisite dependence of virion production upon epithelial differentiation and lack of a rapid phenotype in culture can be circumvented by ectopic expression of the capsid proteins L1 and L2 in cells maintaining viral genome or reporter constructs as episomes, resulting in “quasivirions” or “pseudovirions,” respectively, whose infectivity can be readily and rapidly quantified in vitro or in vivo (6, 11, 35, 41).The completion of the entire papillomavirus life cycle is species specific. However, studies with bovine papillomavirus (BPV) in horses and hamsters, HPV pseudovirions in mouse challenge models, and quasivirions in rabbits suggest that virion internalization and delivery of the encapsidated DNA to the nucleus are promiscuous and that tropism is determined at a later stage of the life cycle (11, 27, 29, 39).Although significant progress has been made in understanding the HPV life cycle and virion structure, many of the molecular events of virus internalization and infection are poorly defined (43). Both the L1 (major) and L2 (minor) capsid proteins provide essential functions during infection (41) (8). L1 is sufficient to form empty capsids, termed virus-like particles (VLPs) (25), which bind to basement membrane and to the cell surface and which also form the basis of the licensed HPV vaccines (10). Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), most notably heparan sulfate (HS), play a critical role in virion binding and infection, both in vitro and in the murine vaginal challenge model, although differences between HPV types and target cells in vitro have been described (14, 19, 20), for example, between HPV16 and HPV31 (4, 34, 42). Once bound to the basement membrane, the virions undergo a conformation change resulting in the surface display of the amino terminus of L2 and its cleavage by a proprotein convertase (PC), furin and/or PC5/PC6, and the transfer of virions to the cell surface (24). The uptake of the virions is apparently slow as late addition of neutralizing antibodies several hours after initial cell surface binding prevents infection in vitro (9). The endocytic mechanisms reported for various papillomavirus types are diverse, but furin cleavage of L2 and endosomal acidification are critical shared steps (15, 38). In a late endosomal compartment, the L1 capsid disassembles, releasing L2 associated with the previously encapsidated DNA to gain access to the nucleus by an unknown mechanism and to accumulate at the subnuclear domain, ND10 (13). Although L2 contains a C-terminal nuclear localization signal (17), entry to mitosis, which is associated with the dissolution of the nuclear membrane, is required for infection, suggesting that the complex with the viral nucleohistone core is unable pass through nuclear pores (36). It is unclear how the L2-genome complex escapes the endocytic compartment, but the carboxy terminus of L2 also contains both DNA binding and a membrane-destabilizing peptide (21).γ Secretase is an intramembranously cleaving protease (I-CliP) linked to Alzheimer''s disease through its cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) (1). It is a multicomponent complex, and presenilin (PS) is the catalytic unit whose active site contains two aspartate residues. In addition to the nine-pass transmembrane protein PS, γ secretase requires nicastrin (NCT), anterior pharynx defective-1 (APH-1), and presenilin enhancer-2 in an equimolar ratio for proteolytic activity (28). The subcellular localization of γ secretase is controversial but includes the endoplasmic reticulum (23), endosome (26), lysosome (31), and plasma membrane (37), all of which are subcellular locales possibly traversed by papillomavirus during infection (43).By analogy to the cleavage of L2 by furin that is critical for exit from the endosomes (38), we hypothesized that I-CLiP might contribute to papillomavirus infection. Here, we report that a γ-secretase inhibitor prevents HPV infection both in vitro and in the mouse vaginal challenge model and that cell lines lacking essential components of γ secretase are refractory to HPV infection. 相似文献
