Transforming activity of a novel mutant of HPV16 E6E7 fusion gene

An optimized recombinant HPV16 E6E7 fusion gene(HPV16 ofE6E7)was constructed according to codon usage for mammalian cell expression,and a mutant of HPV16 ofE6E7 fusion gene(HPV16 omfE6E7)was generated by site-directed mutagenesis at L57G,C113R for the E6 protein and C24G,E26G for the E7 protein for HPV16 ofE6E7 [patent pending(CN 101100672)].The HPV16 omfE6E7 gene constructed in this work not only lost the transformation capability to NIH 3T3 cells and tumorigenicity in SCID mice,but also maintained very good stability and antigenicity.These results suggests that the HPV16 omfE6E7 gene should undergo further study for application as a safe antigen-specific therapeutic vaccine for HPV16-associated tumors.     

Oncogenic comparison of human papillomavirus type 58 E7 variants

Human papillomavirus 58 (HPV58) ranks the second or third in East Asian cervical cancers. Current studies on HPV58 are scarce and focus on the prototype. Previously, we identified the three most common circulating HPV58 E7 strains contained amino acid alterations: G41R/G63D (51%), T20I/G63S (22%) and T74A/D76E (14%) respectively. Among them, the T20I/G63S variant (V1) had a stronger epidemiological association with cervical cancer. We therefore suggested that V1 possessed stronger oncogenicity than the other two variants. Here, we performed phenotypic assays to characterize and compare their oncogenicities with HPV58 E7 prototype. Our results showed that overexpression of V1 conferred a higher colony‐forming ability to primary murine epithelial cells than prototype (P < 0.05) and other variants, implicating its higher immortalising potential. Further experiments showed that both V1 and prototype enhanced the anchorage‐independent growth of NIH/3T3 cells (P < 0.001), implicating their stronger transforming power than the two other variants. Moreover, they possessed an increased ability to degrade pRb (P < 0.001), which is a major effector pathway of E7‐driven oncogenesis. Our work represents the first study to compare the oncogenicities of HPV58 E7 prototype and variants. These findings deepened our understanding of HPV58 and might inform clinical screening and follow‐up strategy.     

A novel CD4 T-cell epitope described from one of the cervical cancer patients vaccinated with HPV 16 or 18 E7-pulsed dendritic cells

Previously, safety and immunogenicity of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) or 18 E7-pulsed dendritic cells (DC) vaccinations were demonstrated in a dose-escalation Phase I clinical trial which enrolled ten patients diagnosed with stage IB or IIA cervical cancer (nine HPV 16-positive, one HPV 18-positive). The goal of the study was to define the T-cell epitopes of HPV 16 or 18 E7 protein in these patients in order to develop new strategies for treating HPV-associated malignancies. This was accomplished through establishing T-cell lines by stimulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells with autologous mature DC pulsed with the HPV 16 or 18 E7 protein, examining the T-cell responses using ELISPOT assays, and isolating E7-specific T-cell clones based on IFN-γ secretion. Then, the epitope was characterized in terms of its core sequence and the restriction element. Twelve T-cell lines from eight subjects (seven HPV 16-positive, one HPV 18-positive) were evaluated. Positive T-cell responses were demonstrated in four subjects (all HPV 16-positive). All four were positive for the HPV 16 E7 46-70 (EPDRAHYNIVTFCCKCDSTLRLCVQ) region. T-cell clones specific for the E7 47–70 region were isolated from one of the subjects. Further analyses revealed a novel, naturally processed, CD4 T-cell epitope, E7 58–68 (CCKCDSTLRLC), restricted by the HLA-DR17 molecule. This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health (R21CA094507). An erratum to this article can be found at
