Methods The nucleotides within HPV16 E6 and E7 genes, which are responsible for viral transforming activity, were mutated by mage primer site-directed mutagenesis method. The correctly mutated E6 and E7 fragments were separately cloned into an eukaryotic expression vector pVAX1, together with HPV16 L1 gene, generating chimeric recombinants plasmids 1MpVAX1-L1E6, 2MpVAX1-L1E6, 1MpVAX1-L1E7, 2MpVAX1-L1E7 and 3MpVAX1-L1E7. CHO cells were transiently transfected with the individual DNA vaccines by calcium phosphate method. Target protein expressions in the extracts of the transfected cell lines were measured by ELISA and immunohistochemistry, with HPV16 L1 and E6 specific monoclonal antibodies. Results ELISA assays showed the P/N ratios in the cell extracts transfected with L1E6 and L1E7 plasmids were more than 2.1. Immunohistochemistry revealed brownish precipitant signal in cytoplasm and nuclei of the transfected cells. Conclusion Successful constructions of prophylactic and therapeutic DNA vaccine plasmids lay solid foundation for future animal experiment and clinical trial.展开更多

Methods Four fragments of human DNA polB promoter were amplified and constructed into luciferase reporter vec- tor pGL-Basic, generating pGL-BP, pGL-BMH, pGL-BMS, and pGL-BAT constructs respectively, and co-transfected with HPV16 or HPV6 into Hep2 cells. Luciferase activity was assayed 48 hours after transfectiorL Semi-quantitative RT- PCR was used to measure mRNA expression of endogenous DNA polB. Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization were used to analyze DNA polB expression and HPV16 or HPV6 infection in 38 cases of cervical lesions respectively. Results With co-transfection of HPV16 and DNA polB promoter-driving reporters into Hep2 cells, pGL-BP re- porter in full-length DNA polB promoter presented markedly elevated luciferase activities （ P 〈 0.05 ）. However, the other three mutant reporters： pGL-BMH, pGL-BMS, and pGL-BAT, generated no reporting activities in the presence of HPV16 （P 〉0.05 ）. On the contrary, all of polB promoter reporters were little stimulated in co-transfection of HPV6 （P 〉0.05 ）. The transfection of HPV16 could enhance the endogenous polB mRNA expression compared with that of HPV6 （3.42 vs. 0.80, P 〈0.05）. The DNA polB expression was found in 8 of 10 HPV16-positive cervical intraepi- thelial neoplasia grade Ⅲ（ CIN Ⅲ） cases, while was only found in 3 of 11 HPV6-positive condyloma accuminatum cases, but was negative in all chronic cervicitis cases. The correlation of DNA polB expression with HPV16 infection in cervical lesions was significant （ P 〈0.05 ）. Conclusions HPV16 is able to specifically stimulate the expression of DNA polB in human epithelial cells through interaction with the core upstream regulatory sequences of DNA polB promoter. Over-expression of DNA polB might be an explanation for the molecular mechanism underlying HPV-related human cancers.展开更多

We have developed hybridization, washing and autoradiography conditions that minimize thecross-hybridization among different specific types of HPV so as to allow clear - cut type assignmentthrough practical dot blot hybridization technique using nylon membrane and <sup>35</sup>S - labeled HPV - 16DNA probe. Under these conditions seventeen of thirty （56.7%） of squamous cell carcinomas of thecervix uteri obtained from Tianjin women were detected in the presence of HPV - 16 DNA.展开更多

Methods： In the present study, 30 first-voided urine （FVU） specimens and 20 urethroglandular swabs using cervex-brushes from male partners of HPV-positive patients, and 31 FVU specimens and 100 liquid-based cervix cytology leftovers sampled with cervix-brushes from HPV-positive women were examined for the presence of β-globin. Oncogenic HPV were detected using type-specific PCR. Results： β-globin was found in all the brushed samples, whereas it was found in only 68.9% of the FVU specimens. HPV-PCR was positive in 60.0% of the male brushes, in 29% of the female brushes and in 0% of the male FVU specimens. DNA concentration was, respectively, 0.9998 ng/μL, 37.0598 ng/μL and 0.0207 ng/μL. Conclusion： Urine is not a good tool for HPV detection, probably because the low DNA concentration reflects a low amount of collected cells. β-globin is measurable in FVU by real time quantitative PCR, but the DNA concentration is lower compared to brush sampling for both genders. β-globin-positivity of urethral and cervical swabs is 100%, showing a higher mean concentration of DNA, leading to a higher detection rate of HPV.

Methods The major capsid protein (L1) gene of human papillomavirus (HPV) 6b was inserted into an eukaryotic ex-pression plasmid (pcDNA3.1). The recombinant plasmid was transfected into COS-7 cells. Western blot were performed to detect whether L1 protein can be expressed in eukaryotic cells. Eighteen female BALB/c mice were tested for immunoge-nicity study. Results The recombinant plasmid (pcDNA3.1-HPV6bL1) was verified as HPV6b L1 gene by sequencing. Western blot showed specific strip. Anti-L1 protein antibodies could be detected in the mice’s sera inoculated with pcDNA3.1-HPV6bL1. Similarly, IL-4, IL-2, and IFN-γ were increased in the same mice. Conclusion HPV6b L1 recombinant plasmid was constructed successfully which had immunogenicity for BALB/c mice. It provided experimental evidence for the research of DNA vaccine of condyloma acuminata..-展开更多
