Project description:Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) maintain their genomes as minichromosomes in the nuclei of infected keratinocytes. This study investigates the association of HPV31 genomes with host chromatin using both HiC and 4C-seq chromosome conformation capture techniques. We show that HPV31 genomes preferentially associate with transcriptionally active A compartments of host chromatin, regions of open chromatin defined by ATAC-seq, and super-enhancers defined by Brd4 and H3K27ac ChIP-seq. The viral genome association sites were also highly correlated with genomic loci previously identified as common HPV integration sites in cervical cancers. Recent studies have shown that transcriptionally active sites are prone to dsDNA breaks, and we find a strong correlation among dsBREAK datasets with transcriptionally active and open regions of host chromatin and the HPV31 genome association sites defined in our study. These findings suggest that HPV genomes associate with cellular transcriptional epicenters to maintain active viral gene expression during persistent infection, but also indicate that the susceptibility of these regions to dsDNA breaks could explain their propensity for viral DNA integration in HPV-associated cancers.

Project description:The effect of human papillomavirus 16 E5 oncogene on cellular gene expression in human epithelial cells was studied. Alterations in cellular gene expression due to human papillomavirus type 16 E5 oncogene were studied in triplicate microarray screens. Epithelial cells where E5 expression was induced for 0, 2, 4, 24, 48, 72 and 96h were compared to control cells.

Project description:It has long been recognized that oncogenic viruses often integrate close to common fragile sites. The papillomavirus E2 protein, in complex with BRD4, tethers the viral genome to host chromatin to ensure persistent replication. Here, we map these targets to a number of large regions of the human genome and name them Persistent E2 and BRD4-Broad Localized Enrichments of Chromatin or PEB-BLOCs. PEB-BLOCs frequently contain deletions, have increased rates of asynchronous DNA replication, and are associated with many known common fragile sites. Cell specific fragile sites were mapped in human C-33 cervical cells by FANCD2 ChIP-chip, confirming the association with PEB-BLOCs. HPV-infected cells amplify viral DNA in nuclear replication foci and we show that these form adjacent to PEB-BLOCs. We propose that HPV replication, which hijacks host DNA damage responses, occurs adjacent to highly susceptible fragile sites, greatly increasing the chances of integration here, as is found in HPV-associated cancers.

Project description:Oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) genomes are often integrated into host chromosomes in HPV-associated cancers. HPV genomes are integrated either as a single copy, or as tandem repeats of viral DNA interspersed with, or without, host DNA. Integration occurs frequently in common fragile sites susceptible to tandem repeat formation, and the flanking or interspersed host DNA often contains transcriptional enhancer elements. When co-amplified with the viral genome, these enhancers can form super-enhancer-like elements that drive high viral oncogene expression. Here, we compiled highly curated datasets of HPV integration sites in cervical (CESC) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cancers and assessed the number of breakpoints, viral transcriptional activity, and host genome copy number at each insertion site. Tumors frequently contained multiple distinct HPV integration sites, but often only one “driver” site that expressed viral RNA. Since common fragile sites and active enhancer elements are cell-type specific, we mapped these regions in cervical cell lines using FANCD2 and Brd4/H3K27ac ChIP-seq, respectively. Large enhancer clusters, or super-enhancers, were also defined using the Brd4/H3K27ac ChIP-seq dataset. HPV integration breakpoints were enriched at both FANCD2-associated fragile sites, and enhancer-rich regions, and frequently showed adjacent focal DNA amplification in CESC samples. We identified recurrent integration “hotspots” that were enriched for super-enhancers, some of which function as regulatory hubs for cell-identity genes. We propose that during persistent infection, extrachromosomal HPV minichromosomes associate with these transcriptional epicenters, and accidental integration could promote viral oncogene expression and carcinogenesis.

Project description:The interaction of papillomavirus E2 proteins with cellular Brd4 protein is important for transcriptional regulation of viral genes and partitioning of viral genomes. Bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV-1) E2 binds cellular chromatin in complex with Brd4 in both mitotic and interphase cells. To identify specific sites of E2 interaction on cellular chromatin, a genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation-on-chip analysis was carried out using human promoter sequences. Both E2 and Brd4 were found bound to most transcriptionally active promoters in C33A cells. These promoters were also bound by RNA polymerase II and were modified by histone H3 acetylation and K4 trimethylation, all indicators of active transcription. E2 binding strongly correlated with Brd4 and RNA polymerase II occupancy and H3K4me3 modification at all human promoters, indicating that E2 bound to active promoters. E2 binding did not correlate with the presence of consensus E2 binding sites in the promoters. Furthermore, the mRNA levels of E2-bound cellular genes were not significantly changed by E2 expression. Thus, the papillomavirus E2 proteins bind to transcriptionally active cellular genes but do not change their activity. We propose that this may be a way for the virus to ensure that the viral genome is retained in transcriptionally active regions of the nucleus to escape silencing. Therefore, E2-mediated tethering of viral genomes to host chromatin has multiple roles: to partition the viral genome to daughter cells, to ensure that the genomes are retained in the nucleus, and to make certain that the genomes are retained in functionally active nuclear domains.
