However, evidence about the direct relationship between HSP70 expression and HPVs infections are still lacking. In the present study, we examined the expression of HSP70 in keratinocytes introduced with HPV16 E6/E7 oncogenes. Methods Stable transfected cells were established by transfection of the plasmids pLXSN16E6/E7 into cultured primary keratinocytes and subsequently selected by plasmid specific selection antibiotic （G418） at the required concentration. The expression of HSP70 in pLXSN16E6/E7 transfected keratinocytes was determined by Western blot. The correlation of HSP70 expression and E6/E7 transfeetion was further confirmed by doubly labelled immunofluorescent staining. Results Compared to non-transfected keratinocytes, there was a significant trend for higher levels of HSP70 in pLXSN16E6/E7 transfected keratinocytes. Doubly labelled immunofluorescent staining experiment showed that the co-localization of HPV16 E6/E7 and HSP70 in transfeeted keratinoeytes was observed and increased expression of HSP70 was strongly associated with the transfection of HPV16 E6/E7. Conclusions Our studies demonstrated increased levels of HSP70 proteins in keratinocytes stably transfected by HPV16 E6/E7 oncogenes. It suggests that the expression of HSP70 is modulated by HPV16 E6/E7 proteins, which may be involved in HPV16 E6/E7 induced immortalization.展开更多

Methods The tissue DNAs were extracted from cervical carcinoma biopsies of 14 patients of Chinese from Shandong province. By PCR method using HPV multiple primers, the HPV types were identified in cervical carcinoma tissues, Using the tissue DNA of the 2 cases with the infection of HPV16 type only as templates, HPV16E6E7 gene was amplified by PCR respectively, then inserted the HPV16E6E7 gene into pALTER I vector, and obtained the recombinant plasmid pALTER HPV16E6E7. The constructs were sequenced using Sanger method, and then compared with the sequence of HPV16E6E7 gene of the prototype. Results Sequencing results showed that HPV16E6E7 gene in the 2 cases had sequence diversity from that of the prototype, and a total of five nucleotide exchanges were detected, four of these led to amino acid exchanges. Conclusion There are structure differences between the HPV16E6E7 of Chinese and that of the prototype.展开更多

The E6 and E7 genes in HPV-16 are the major virulent genes in HPV, and we wanted to investigate the polymorphism of E6 and E7 genes of HPV-16 originated from Jingjiang, Jiangsu province. In research, HPV-16 sample was collected, and the E6 and E7 genes fragments were amplified by PCR assay. The sequences of E6 and E7 genes were used for phylogenetic analysis by Mega 5.0 software. By comparison, the major mutations of E6 gene were T178G (41.67%) and G658A (17%), as well as C58G, T61A and G188C (14%), T61C and C656A (11%). The mutation of E7 gene was mainly C491A and T935A (23%);G514C, G937C and G519C (11%). The 68 nucleotide site deficiency (69.4%) of E6 and 535 nucleotide site deficiency (23%) of E7 were dominant. In our study, we did not find the relevance between the E6 and E7 genes mutations and pathologic severity. But we think the E6 and E7 genes mutation of HPV-16 might affect vaccine prevention and treatment effect.展开更多

There exited significant correlation between E6 gene and CTSE in BCs （ P 〈0. 05） , as well as E7 gene and CTSE. The infection of HPV16 E6, E7 and CTSE had no statistic relationship with pathological features. Conclusion There were HPV16 E6 , E7 genes and CTSE together in BCs and CTSE may play an important role in pathogenesis of BC.展开更多

Methods: Recombinant vector of pGADT7/E6 or pGBKT7/hDaxx was con- structed. The interaction of E6 protein and hDaxx was detected by yeast two-hybrid system. Their expression in yeast was detected by Western blotting. The eukaryotic plasmids of E6 and hDaxx were co-transfected into HeLa cells. Apoptosis was induced by 5-FU. The apoptotic rate was measured by flow cytometry (FCM). Results: E6 protein had intracellular interaction with hDaxx. The apoptotic rate was rising with the increase in the transfection quantity of pcDNA3.1 (-) / hDaxx in pcDNA3.1 (-) /E6 and pcDNA3.1 (-) / hDaxx co-transfected cells. The difference was significant ( P < 0. 01). Conclusion: There is intracellular interaction between HPV16 E6 protein and hDaxx. The over-expression of hDaxx can increase the sensitivity of E6 protein positive HeLa cells to 5-FU. The effect was in a dose dependent manner. HPV16 E6 protein inhibited the apoptosis of HeLa cells by interacting with hDaxx.展开更多

The expression of E6 gene was assayed in macrophage lysates by using Western blot analysis and the level of TNF-α or IL-1β was examined by ELISA. All of data were analyzed by SPSS12.0. As demonstrated by Western blot analysis, the expression of E6 protein with a molecular weight of about 18 kDa by plasmid pcDNA3.1 （-）/E6 in THP-1-macrophages could be detected. However, as demonstrated by ELISA assay, the level of TNF-α or IL-1β in lysates of THP-1-macrophages showed an obvious difference between the pcDNA3.1 （-）/E6 group and the LPS control group or the pcDNA3.1 （-） control group （P 〈 0.01）, but no significant difference existed between pcDNA3.1 （-） control group and LPS control group （ P 〉 0.05）. All these results illustrate that the transient over-expression of HPV6 E6 protein reduces the production of TNF-α and IL-1β induced by LPS in THP-1-macrophages.展开更多
