Human papillomavirus type 16 alters human epithelial cell differentiation in vitro (original) (raw)

Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16, 18, 31, and 33 have been implicated as etiologic agents of cervical and penile cancer. Using a cell culture system for keratinocytes which allows stratification and production of differentiation-specific keratins, we have examined the effects of one of these viruses, HPV-16, on the differentiation capabilities of human epithelial cells. A plasmid containing the HPV-16 genome and a neomycin-selectable marker was transfected into primary human epidermal cells and SCC-13 cells, an immortalized squamous cell carcinoma cell line. Cloned neomycin-resistant cell lines were isolated and examined by cell culture on raised collagen rafts. Cell lines containing HPV-16 DNA retained the ability to stratify and express differentiation-specific keratins in the raft system but otherwise failed to differentiate normally. The histological abnormalities induced by HPV-16 closely resembled those seen in genital intraepithelial neoplasia in vivo. Hence, our results support the role of HPV-16 as an etiologic agent in the development of genital neoplasias and suggest a specific system for the study of HPV-16-induced epithelial cancers.
