紫草素通过下调HPV E6/E7蛋白表达抑制宫颈癌Caski细胞增殖

宫颈癌是发展中国家癌症死亡的主要癌症之一,也是最常见的女性生殖系统肿瘤,它与病毒相关且其主要是由人乳头瘤病毒(human papillomavirus, HPV)感染引起的癌症。紫草素在控制细胞凋亡、坏死性凋亡和免疫原性细胞死亡中的重要作用而被证明具有抗肿瘤活性,且与肿瘤细胞生长和转移密切相关,但是缺乏相应的机理和机制研究。因此本实验就通过用不同浓度紫草素处理宫颈癌细胞来研究紫草素的作用机理。结果表明,紫草素能够通过下调HPV E6/E7蛋白的表达,从而提高抑癌因子P53的活性,以促进宫颈癌细胞凋亡的发生。且与前人的研究相同的是,HPV E6/E7蛋白低表达不利于宫颈癌细胞的增殖和迁移。因此,这些结果充分证实了紫草素能有效地抑制宫颈癌细胞增殖和迁移,以及促进癌细胞凋亡的作用。本实验的研究结果探索了紫草素抑制肿瘤的机制,并为宫颈癌治疗的新方法提供了新的思路以及为后续机制的研究提供了参考和理论依据。

RNA interference against HPV16 E7 oncogene leads to viral E6 and E7 suppression in cervical cancer cells and apoptosis via upregulation of Rb and p53

The simultaneous expression of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E6 and E7 oncogenes is pivotal for malignant transformation and maintenance of malignant phenotypes. Silencing these oncogenes is considered to be applicable in molecular therapies of human cervical cancer. However, it remains to be determined whether HPV16 E6 and E7 could be both silenced to obtain most efficient antitumor activity by using RNA interference (RNAi) technology. Herein, we designed a small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting HPV16-E7 region to degrade either E6, or truncated E6 (E6*) and E7 mRNAs and to simultaneously knockdown both E6 and E7 expression. Firstly, the sequence targeting HPV16-E7 region was inserted into the shRNA packing vector pSIREN-DNR, yielding pSIREN-16E7 to stably express corresponding shRNA. HPV16-transformed SiHa and CaSki cells were used as a model system; RT-PCR, Western Blotting, MTT assay, TUNEL staining, Annexin V apoptosis assay and flow cytometry were applied to examine the effects of pSIREN-16E7. Our results indicated that HPV16-E7 specific shRNA (16E7-shRNA) induced selective degradation of E6 and E7 mRNAs and proteins. E6 silencing induced accumulation of cellular p53 and p21. In contrast, E7 silencing induced hypophosphorylation of retinoblastoma (Rb) protein. The loss of E6 and E7 reduced cell growth and ultimately resulted in massive apoptotic cell death selectively in HPV-positive cancer cells, compared with the HPV-negative ones. We demonstrated that 16E7-shRNA can induce simultaneous E6 and E7 suppression and lead to striking apoptosis in HPV16-related cancer cells by activating cellular p53, p21 and Rb. Therefore, RNAi using E7 shRNA may have the gene-specific therapy potential for HPV16-related cancers.

Much higher risk of premalignant and malignant cervical diseases in younger women positive for HPV16 than in older women positive for HPV16

Human papillomavirus (HPV), particularly HPV16, is strongly associated with premalignant lesions of the uterine cervix and cervical cancer. However, HPV infection is a common sexually transmitted disease and only a few women develop cervical cancer. Although the presence of HPV and abnormal cytology are independent risk factors for cervical diseases, implementing both tests on every woman is argued not to be recommended mainly in terms of cost-effectiveness. During a 20-month period between October, 1994, and May, 1996, cervical swabs from 207 women who were referred for colposcopy because of cervical dyskaryosis (Papanicolaou class IIIa or higher) were examined by PCR for the presence of HPV16. When these women were divided into two groups; i.e., group A consisting of women who were 44 years old or younger (n = 111), and group B consisting of women who were 45 years old or older (n = 96), the risk of having premalignant and malignant cervical diseases upon infection with HPV16 was approximately 8 times higher in group A than in group B. Thus, we conclude that HPV-testing should be implemented on every young woman with an abnormal Papanicolaou smear test.

Antiproliferative and apoptotic potential of Glycyrrhizin against HPV16+ Caski cervical cancer cells: A plausible association with downreguation of HPV E6 and E7 oncogenes and Notch signaling pathway

Cervical cancer (CCa) is the second most frequent carcinoma in females and human papilloma virus (HPV) oncoproteins are regarded as one of the critical etiological agent. Despite recent advances in screening and management of CCa, still it remains the deadliest carcinoma as advanced and metastatic stages are mostly incurable. This urges for the development of newer therapeutic interventions. The current was aimed to investigate the antiproliferative and apoptotic potential of glycyrrhizin (Gly) against HPV16⁺ CaSki CCa cells. Our findings substantiated that Gly exerted antiproliferative effects on the CaSki cells by obstructing their proliferation rate. Gly substantially enhanced apoptosis in Caski cells in a dose-dependent manner via augmenting the generation of ROS, DNA fragmentation and disruption of the mitochondrial membrane potential. Gly mediated apoptosis in CaSki cells was found to be due to activation of caspase-8 and capsase-9 along with the modulation of pro-and anti-apoptotic gene expression. Moreover, Gly halts the progression of CaSki cells at G₀/G₁ phase which was found to be due to reduced expression of cyclin D1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) along with the enhanced expression of CDK inhibitor p21^Cip1. Further, Gly downregulates the expression of HPV oncoproteins (E6 & E7) along with the inhibition of Notch signaling pathway. Taken together, Gly represents as a potential therapeutic modality for CCa which could rapidly be translated for clinical studies.     

Efficacy of TRAIL treatment against HPV16 infected cervical cancer cells undergoing senescence following siRNA knockdown of E6/E7 genes

In this study we investigated E6 and E7 oncogenes from the Human Papilloma Virus as targets for siRNA knockdown in order to boost the efficacy of the anti-cancer drug ‘tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand’ (TRAIL). SiHa cells were treated with TRAIL following transfection with E6/E7 siRNA and the expression of death receptors DR4 and DR5, cell viability, apoptosis, senescence and cell cycle analysis were undertaken using flow cytometry, MTT viability assay and cellular β-galactosidase activity assays. E6/E7 siRNA resulted in significant upregulation of death receptors DR4 and DR5 but did not result in an enhanced sensitivity to TRAIL. Our results indicate that E6/E7-siRNA induces senescence rather than apoptosis in SiHa cells. The occurrence of senescence in drug resistant cervical cancer cells such as the SiHa cell line by E6/E7 siRNA, among other factors, may prevent TRAIL induced activation of extrinsic and intrinsic pathways that lead to apoptotic cell death. Our findings are significant for combinatorial strategies for cancer therapy since the induction of senescence can preclude apoptosis rendering cells to be recalcitrant to TRAIL treatment.
