Project description:HPV integrated site capture (HISC) protocol used to detect HPV16 integration breakpoints in the genomes of W12 cell lines. Biotinylated HPV16-specific RNA baits were used to capture HPV16-human breakpoint junctions in genomic DNA.
Project description:The overexpression of Six1, a member of the Six family of homeodomain transcription factors, has been found in various human cancers, and is associated with tumor progression and metastasis. We previously determined that the expression of Six1 mRNA increased during in vitro progression of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16)-immortalized human keratinocytes (HKc/HPV16) toward a differentiation-resistant (HKc/DR) phenotype. However, if Six1 promotes HPV16-mediated transformation or not remains unknown. HKc/DR were transfected with a Six1 or control vector and RNA isolated from these cells were used in an Agilent two-color gene expression profiling experiment. The goal was to determine the effects of Six1 on global gene expression. Two-condition experiment, Six1 vs. Control HKc/DR cells. Biological replicates: 4 Six1-transfected replicates and 4 control-transfected replicates.
Project description:To explore the circRNA expression profiles during the development and progression of cervical cancer, we performed RNA sequencing analysis with ribosomal RNA-depleted in HPV negative normal cervical epithelium, HPV16 positive normal cervical epithelium, HPV16 positive high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), and HPV16 positive cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissues,6 cases in each group.Totally 66868 circRNAs were identified (Back-spliced junctions reads≥1)
Project description:The infection with high-risk human papillomavirus is aetiologically linked to cervical cancer, the role of miRNAs regulated by virus oncogene in cancer progression remain largely unknown. Here, we screened the differentially expressed miRNAs with miRNA array between virus oncogene e6/e7 silenced and not in HPV16-positive cervical cancer cell lines In the study, we screened the differentially expressed miRNAs with miRNA array (Exiqon, miRCURY LNA microRNA array, 7th gen [hsa, miRBase 18]) between virus oncogene e6/e7 silenced and not in HPV16-positive cervical cancer cell lines to found miRNAs regulated by virus oncogene e6/e7. Biological replicates: 3 control, 3 e6/e7 silenced, independently grown and harvested. four replicates per array.
Project description:Integration of high-risk human papillomavirus (HRHPV) into the host genome is a key event in cervical neoplastic progression. Integration is associated with deregulated expression of the viral oncogenes E6 and E7 and acquisition of a selective growth advantage for cells containing integrants. Overexpression of the viral transcriptional regulator E2 from heterologous promoters has an inhibitory effect on transcription from integrated HRHPV. We therefore hypothesised that loss of E2-expressing episomes from cells in which integration had previously occurred would be required for such cells to gain a growth advantage. Using the unique W12 model of cervical squamous carcinogenesis, we show that cells containing integrated HPV16 reproducibly emerged during long-term culture when there had been a rapid fall in episome numbers. During the period of emergence it is possible to isolate single-cell clones containing an intracellular mixture of the integrant being selected and episomes at reduced load. Microarray analysis showed that episome loss was closely associated with endogenous activation of antiviral response genes that are also inducible by the type I interferon (IFN) pathway. Taken together, our results indicate that episome loss, associated with induction of antiviral response genes, is a key event in the spontaneous selection of cervical keratinocytes containing integrated HPV16. We conclude that cervical carcinogenesis requires not only HRHPV integration, but also loss of inhibitory episomes. Keywords: Time course, human papillomavirus, episome loss

Project description:CircRNAs have been found to regulate mRNA expression levels and serve an important role in cervix carcinogenesis. To explore the circRNA expression profiles during the development and progression of cervical cancer, we performed microarray analysis with total RNA in normal cervical epithelium(n=7), HPV16 positive high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL)(n=6), and HPV16 positive cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissues(n=7).
Project description:This RNA-seq study in primary human forekin keratinocytes was to define genes that are differetially expressed in the presence or absence of HPV16 E7 or the HPV16 E7 E80A/D81A variant.
Project description:We used freshly established immortalized human keratinocytes with a well-defined HPV16 E6 E7 expression cassette to get a more complete and less biased overview about global changes induced by HPV16 using RNA-seq. We identified novel factors regulated by HPV oncogenes that could serve an essential role in cancer development.
