MicroRNA analysis in HPV-positive and HPV-negative cervical cancer cell lines

ABSTRACT: Persistent infection by high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is associated with the development of cervical cancer and a subset of anogenital and head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Abnormal expression of cellular microRNAs (miRNAs) plays an important role in the development of cancer, including HPV-related tumors. MiRNA expression profile was investigated by microrray analysis in the HPV-positive cervical cancer cell lines SiHa (HPV16-positive cell line derived from a cervical squamous cell carcinoma), CaSki (HPV16-positive cell line derived from a metastatic cervical epidermoid carcinoma), and HeLa (HPV18-positive cell line derived from a cervical adenocarcinoma) and compared with primary HFKs and C33a (HPV-negative cervical cell line).

Project description:The global rise of HPV(+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has generated considerable interest underlying its etiology and management. Despite an overall decline in head and neck malignancies, the incidence in OPSCC has by contrast sharply risen, with HPV(+) subtypes now comprising 80% of all OPSCC.1,2 Relative to HPV(-) OPSCC, HPV(+) patients are more responsive to chemoradiation and harbor a 52% risk-of-death reduction.3 Despite this distinct outcome, treatment regimens remain the same for all OPSCC subtypes (smoking-driven and virus-driven), rather than an adaptive approach to what most consider distinct diseases. The short-term effects (e.g., mucositis, odynophagia) and long-term toxicities (e.g., xerostomia, dysphagia, ototoxicity) from treatment substantially affect quality of life, and rival the impact of the cancer itself. Recently published as well as ongoing trials are actively examining deintensification approaches2,4-9, with the goal of diminishing treatment sequelae for HPV(+) subtypes. While deintensification may decrease chemoradiation-related toxicities, it nonetheless may also undertreat a meaningful percentage of HPV(+) patients who may then recur. In examining national trials, 19% of HPV(+) patients had disease progression after therapy, with a two-year survival rate of 60%.10 Current methods to ascertain HPV status involve p16 staining. However, on comparison with gold standard E6/E7 expression by qPCR, p16 harbored a 15% false positivity rate11, suggesting limited utility as a sole biomarker for deintensification. Improved molecular stratification would greatly enhance the clinician’s ability to precisely tailor treatment while minimizing the risk of jeopardizing outcomes. One approach encompasses in-depth proteomic profiling of HPV(+) OPSCC to reveal distinct protein expression profiles and delineate clinically relevant upstream pathways. In turn, these proteomic differences may distinguish higher-risk disease (cases predisposed to recurrence that may benefit from treatment intensification) from lower-risk phenotypes (cases whose treatment response is sufficiently robust to warrant deintensification). Here, two HPV(+) OPSCC cohorts stratified by treatment response are compared via a hybrid data dependent acquisition/data independent acquisition (DDA/DIA) approach via mass spectrometry. We focused on detection of low-abundance proteins to highlight proteomic signatures that can be potentially exploited for treatment stratification.
