چکیده

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) 16 is a DNA virus encoding three oncogenes--E5, E6, and E7. The E6 and E7 proteins have well-established roles as inhibitors of tumor suppression, but the contribution of E5 to malignant transformation is controversial. Using spontaneously immortalized human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells), we demonstrate that expression of HPV16 E5 is necessary and sufficient for the formation of bi-nucleated cells, a common characteristic of precancerous cervical lesions. Expression of E5 from non-carcinogenic HPV6b does not produce bi-nucleate cells. Video microscopy and biochemical analyses reveal that bi-nucleates arise through cell-cell fusion. Although most E5-induced bi-nucleates fail to propagate, co-expression of HPV16 E6/E7 enhances the proliferation of these cells. Expression of HPV16 E6/E7 also increases bi-nucleated cell colony formation. These findings identify a new role for HPV16 E5 and support a model in which complementary roles of the HPV16 oncogenes lead to the induction of carcinogenesis.

Cellular proteins associated with the E5 oncoprotein of human papillomavirus type 16.

Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is strongly implicated in the aetiology of premalignant and malignant disease of the cervix. The mechanisms by which HPV-16 induces cell transformation have been the subject of intense investigation for several years. The viral genome encodes three oncoproteins, E5, E6 and E7, but until recently only E6 and E7 were subjected to such scrutiny. The papillomav...

The E5 oncoprotein of human papillomavirus type 16 transforms fibroblasts and effects the downregulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor in keratinocytes.

To determine the function of the E5 open reading frame (ORF) of the human papillomaviruses (HPVs), rodent fibroblast cell lines were transfected with the E5 ORF of HPV type 6 (HPV-6) and HPV-16 expressed from an exogenous promoter. Transfected fibroblasts were transformed to colony formation in soft agar, and the transformation frequency was increased by epidermal growth factor (EGF) but not by...

E5 protein of human papillomavirus type 16 selectively downregulates surface HLA class I.

Papillomaviruses have evolved mechanisms that result in escape from host immune surveillance. The E5 protein is expressed early in papillomavirus infection in the deep layers of the infected epithelium. It is localized to the Golgi apparatus (GA) and endoplasmic reticulum. The E5 protein of bovine papillomavirus (BPV) impairs the synthesis and stability of major histocompatibility (MHC) class I...

The human papillomavirus type 16 E5 protein impairs TRAIL- and FasL-mediated apoptosis in HaCaT cells by different mechanisms.

The effect of the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E5 protein on apoptosis was investigated by using the polyclonal HaCaT-cell lines stably transfected either with E5 (HaCaT/E5) or the empty vector (HaCaT/pMSG) as reference. Apoptosis was triggered either by Fas ligand (FasL) or by tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and was monitored by detection of cleavage of...

Effects of HPV-16 E5, E6 and E7 proteins on survival, adhesion, migration and invasion of trophoblastic cells.

Among high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV), HPV-16 infection is the most prevalent causative factor for cervical cancer. Beside other mucosal targets, HPV-16 was reported to infect the placenta and to replicate in trophoblastic cells. Since these cells share invasive properties of tumoral cells, they represent an ideal model to investigate several oncogenic processes. In the present work, we ...
