Human Papillomavirus (HPV) genomic integration, expression and E6/E7 splicing patterns in cervical cancer associated with HPV16 or HPV18 infection


ABSTRACT: Human papillomavirus (HPV) genome integration into the host genome, blocking E2 expression and leading to overexpression of E6 and E7 viral oncogenes, is considered a major step in cervical cancer development. In high-risk HPVs, E6 and E7 oncogenes are expressed as a bicistronic pre-mRNA, with alternative splicing producing the ultimate mRNAs required for E6 and E7 translation. Given the number of alternative donor and acceptor splicing sites, ten E6/E7 different alternative transcripts might be formed for HPV16 and three for HPV18, although only six isoforms have been previously reported for HPV16. In the present work, we employ high-throughput sequencing of invasive cervical cancer transcriptome (RNA-Seq) to characterize the expression of the HPV genome in 24 invasive cervical cancers associated with HPV16 and HPV18 single infections. Based on high-resolution transcriptional maps, we herein report three viral gene expression patterns which might be associated with the presence of the viral genome in episomal and/or integrated stages. Alternative mRNAs splicing isoforms coding for E6 and E7 oncoproteins were characterized and quantified, and two novel isoforms were identified. Three major isoforms (E6*I, E6*II, and E6+E7) were detected for HPV16 and two for HPV18 (E6*I and E6+E7). Minor transcript isoforms, including the novel ones, were very rare in some tumor samples or were not detected. Our data suggested that minor transcript isoforms of E6/E7 do not play a relevant role in cervical cancer.
