Methods： The recombination vector pcDNA3.1-E7 carrying wild type HPV 16 E7 was identified by sequencing. The recombination vector pcDNA3.1-E7 was transfected into mouse lymphadenoma cell line RMA by liposome, and the monoclonal cells transfected stably were obtained by antibiotics G418 sieving and limiting dilution assay. RT-PCR method was used to detect the expression of HPV 16 E7 mRNA in RMA-E7 cells. The growth of RMA cells and RMA-E7 cells cultured in vitro was tested by Cell Count Kit-8. RMA-E7 cells and RMA cells were subcutaneously inoculated in syngeneic mice respectively, the tumor size was measured by sliding caliper twice a week, and the E7 protein expression in tumor tissue of mice was detected by Western blot after tumor formation. The kinetics of cytolytic activity of E7 specific T cells in tumor-bearing mice was measured by LDH kit. Results： Sequencing of recombination vector showed the target gene which was inserted into the recombinant was correct, and RMA-E7 cells expressing E7 protein stably were obtained by limited dilution assay. There were no obvious differences in morphous and growth velocity between RMA cells and RMA-E7 cells in vitro. RMA-E7 cells grew in syngeneic mice were significantly slower than RMA cells. The E7 protein was ex- pressed stronger in RMA-E7 cells in vivo than in vitro. The cytolytic ability of ET-specific CTL was activated at the early stage, reached the maximum at the middle stage, and lost at the end stage. RMA-E7 cells isolated from the tumor-bearing mice were more resistant to E7-specific CTL killing than RMA-E7 cells cultured in vitro. Conclusion： The E7 protein expression has no obvious influence on growth of RMA-E7 cells in vitro, and can suppress growth of RMA-E7 cells in vivo. The activity curve of E7 specific CTL approximately presents ＂bell＂ shape. The RMA-E7 cells grew in vivo had a high expression levels of E7 protein, and more resistant to E7-specific CTL killing than those cultured in vitro. The E7 protein expression in vivo not only initiates immune activation, but also induces immune tolerance.展开更多

The present study was designed to explore whether HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection in cervical exfoliated cells can be a potential triage for HPV-positive women from a clinic-based population. Both the primary HPV testing and Papanicolaou （Pap） test were performed on all eligible HPV-positive women. HPV E6/E7 mRNA was detected by QuantiVirus HPV E6/E7 mRNA assay in cervical exfoliated cells. All HPV-positive women underwent colposcopy and further biopsy if indicated. The data were assessed by Pearson＇s Chi-squared test and the receiver operating characteristic curve. A total of 404 eligible HPV-positive women were enrolled. Positive rate of E6/E7 mRNA in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion （HSIL） cases was higher than that in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion （LSIL） or normal cases. There was no statistical difference found between mRNA and cytological testing with sensitivity （89.52% vs. 86.67%, P=0.671）, specificity （48.96% vs. 48.96%, P=1.000）, positive predictive value （39.00% vs. 38.24%, P=1.000）, and negative predictive value （92.76% vs. 90.97%, P=-0.678） for detecting ≥HSIL. HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection in cervical exfoliated cells shows the same performance as Pap triage for HSIL identification for HPV-positive women. Detection of HPV E6/E7 mRNA may be used as a new triage option for HPV-positive women.展开更多

A total of 500 patients from our hospital with ASC-US or LSIL based on cytology testing were subjected to HPV DNA and HPV E6/E7 mRNA quantitative analysis.Results: The specificity of the HPV E6/E7 mRNA test for detecting ≥high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL+) was statistically higher than that of the HPV DNA test(61.3% vs. 40.0%, P< 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in the sensitivity of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test and HPV DNA test(90.0% vs. 95.0%, P > 0.05). The positive rates of HPV in the participants tested by HPV E6/E7 mRNA and HPV DNA were, respectively, 42.8%(214/500) and 62.8%(314/500), with statistical significance(P < 0.05).Conclusions: The HPV E6/E7 mRNA test was slightly less sensitivity than that of the HPV DNA test for diagnosing HSIL+ in patients with ASC-US and LSIL, but the difference was not significant, although the specificity of the former was significantly higher. HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection can effectively reduce overdiagnosis and overtreatment of patients with ASC-US and LSIL and has important clinical value in triage of patients with ASC-US and LSIL.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

A ＂micro-jet effiux＂ strategy was used for the preparation of nanometer realgar suspension. SiHa cells were treated with nanometer Realgar suspension in various concentrations （6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/L） for different durations （12, 24, 48 and 72 h）. The inhibitive effect of nanometer realgar suspension on growth of SiHa cells was detected by MTT method. Special morphological changes of apoptosis were observed by transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and DNA fragments electrophoresis. The apoptotic rate was quantified by flow cytometry （FCM）. The expression of HPV 16E6/E7 mRNA and protein was assayed by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. The results showed after being treated with 25--50 mg/L nanometer realgar suspension for 48 h, the survival rate of SiHa cells was decreased, and apoptotic rate markedly increased in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. TEM and DNA electrophoresis revealed the special morphological changes of apoptosis. The apoptotic rate of SiHa cells treated with nanometer realgar suspension was significantly higher than in the control group （P〈0.01）, and G0/G1 phase arrest appeared following treatment with nanometer realgar suspension in 25 and 50 mg/L for 48 h. RT-PCR and Western blot assay indicated that nanometer realgar suspension reduced the HPV16E6/E7 gene expression. Nanometer realgar suspension could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of SiHa cells. The mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of the HPV16E6/E7 gene expression.展开更多
