Characterization of human papillomavirus type 120: a novel betapapillomavirus with tropism for multiple anatomical niches.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies indicate that human papillomaviruses (HPVs) from the genera Betapapillomavirus and Gammapapillomavirus are abundant in the human oral cavity. We report the cloning and characterization of a 7304 bp HPV120 genome from the oral cavity that is related most closely to HPV23 (L1 ORF, 83.7?% similarity), clustering it in the genus Betapapillomavirus (?-PV). HPV120 contains five early and two late genes, but no E5 ORF. HPV120 was detected from heterogeneous human biological niches, including the oral cavity, eyebrow hairs, anal canal and penile, vulvar and perianal warts. Characterization of the clinical spectrum of HPV120 infections indicates a broader spectrum of epithelial tropism than appreciated previously for HPV types from the genus ?-PV.

Recent studies indicate that human papillomaviruses (HPVs) from the genera Betapapillomavirus and Gammapapillomavirus are abundant in the human oral cavity. We report the cloning and characterization of a 7304 bp HPV120 genome from the oral cavity that is related most closely to HPV23 (L1 ORF, 83.7 % similarity), clustering it in the genus Betapapillomavirus (β-PV).

Characterization of human papillomavirus type 154 and tissue tropism of gammapapillomaviruses.

Project description:The novel human papillomavirus type 154 (HPV154) was characterized from a wart on the crena ani of a three-year-old boy. It was previously designated as the putative HPV type FADI3 by sequencing of a subgenomic FAP amplicon. We obtained the complete genome by combined methods including rolling circle amplification (RCA), genome walking through an adapted method for detection of integrated papillomavirus sequences by ligation-mediated PCR (DIPS-PCR), long-range PCR, and finally by cloning of four overlapping amplicons. Phylogenetically, the HPV154 genome clustered together with members of the proposed species Gammapapillomavirus 11, and demonstrated the highest identity in L1 to HPV136 (68.6%). The HPV154 was detected in 3% (2/62) of forehead skin swabs from healthy children. In addition, the different detection sites of 62 gammapapillomaviruses were summarized in order to analyze their tissue tropism. Several of these HPV types have been detected from multiple sources such as skin, oral, nasal, and genital sites, suggesting that the gammapapillomaviruses are generalists with a broader tissue tropism than previously appreciated. The study expands current knowledge concerning genetic diversity and tropism among HPV types in the rapidly growing gammapapillomavirus genus.

Harnessing Human Papillomavirus' Natural Tropism to Target Tumors.

Project description:Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are small non-enveloped DNA tumor viruses established as the primary etiological agent for the development of cervical cancer. Decades of research have elucidated HPV's primary attachment factor to be heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG). Importantly, wounding and exposure of the epithelial basement membrane was found to be pivotal for efficient attachment and infection of HPV in vivo. Sulfation patterns on HSPG's become modified at the site of wounds as they serve an important role promoting tissue healing, cell proliferation and neovascularization and it is these modifications recognized by HPV. Analogous HSPG modification patterns can be found on tumor cells as they too require the aforementioned processes to grow and metastasize. Although targeting tumor associated HSPG is not a novel concept, the use of HPV to target and treat tumors has only been realized in recent years. The work herein describes how decades of basic HPV research has culminated in the rational design of an HPV-based virus-like infrared light activated dye conjugate for the treatment of choroidal melanoma.

Preclinical Characterization of a Novel Anti-Cancer PD-L1 Inhibitor RPH-120.

Project description:RPH-120 is a novel fully human anti-PD-L1 IgG1 monoclonal antibody with specifically designed Asn300Ala mutation in Fc fragment. Surface plasmon resonance assay showed that affinity of the RPH-120 to the dimeric form of human PD-L1-Fc fusion protein was much higher than affinity to the monomeric His-tagged PD-L1. Further binding studies demonstrated that RPH-120 is able to bind to human and monkey but not mouse PD-L1. Tissue cross-reactivity study showed good comparability of human and Cynomolgus monkeys tissue staining. Bioactivity was assessed using mixed lymphocyte reaction assay. This study revealed that RPH-120 was able to activate T cells preventing PD1/PD-L1 interaction. Antitumor efficacy was analyzed in HCC-827 lung cancer xenografts in humanized CD34+ mice at three dosage levels: 20, 80, and 200 mg/kg. RPH-120 demonstrated significant tumor growth inhibition, and this inhibition was comparable to that of atezolizumab. In a single dose toxicity, toxicokinetic and dose range finding study performed in Cynomolgus monkeys, RPH-120 was administered via intravenous (IV) bolus or 60-min IV infusion, followed by 8-weeks recovery period. An acceptable toxicokinetic profile was demonstrated and administration at doses of up to 200 mg/kg was well tolerated by all animals. In conclusion, RPH-120 revealed promising in vitro and in vivo activity and safety. RPH-120 is a potent anti-PD-L1 drug candidate for cancer immunotherapy.

Characterization of novel transcripts of human papillomavirus type 16 using cap analysis gene expression technology.

Project description:We have performed cap-analysis gene expression (CAGE) sequencing to identify the regulatory networks that orchestrate genome-wide transcription in human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16)-positive cervical cell lines of different grades: W12E, SiHa, and CaSki. Additionally, a cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1) lesion was assessed for identifying the transcriptome expression profile. Here we have precisely identified a novel antisense noncoding viral transcript in HPV16. In conclusion, CAGE sequencing should pave the way for understanding a diversity of viral transcript expression.

Molecular Characterization of Human Papillomavirus Type 159 (HPV159).

Project description:Human papillomavirus type 159 (HPV159) was identified in an anal swab sample and preliminarily genetically characterized by our group in 2012. Here we present a detailed molecular in silico analysis that showed that the HPV159 viral genome is 7443 bp in length and divided into five early and two late genes, with conserved functional domains and motifs, and a non-coding long control region (LCR) with significant regulatory sequences that allow the virus to complete its life cycle and infect novel host cells. HPV159, clustering into the cutaneotropic Betapapillomavirus (Beta-PV) genus, is phylogenetically most similar to HPV9, forming an individual phylogenetic group in the viral species Beta-2. After testing a large representative collection of clinical samples with HPV159 type-specific RT-PCR, in addition to the anal canal from which the first HPV159 isolate was obtained, HPV159 was further detected in other muco-cutaneous (4/181, 2.2%), mucosal (22/764, 2.9%), and cutaneous (14/554, 2.5%) clinical samples, suggesting its extensive tissue tropism. However, because very low HPV159 viral loads were estimated in the majority of positive samples, it seemed that HPV159 mainly caused clinically insignificant infections of the skin and mucosa. Using newly developed, highly sensitive HPV159-specific nested PCRs, two additional HPV159 LCR viral variants were identified. Nevertheless, all HPV159 mutations were demonstrated outside important functional domains of the LCR, suggesting that the HPV159 viral variants were most probably not pathogenically different. This complete molecular characterization of HPV159 enhances our knowledge of the genome characteristics, tissue tropism, and phylogenetic diversity of Beta-PVs that infect humans.

Human papillomavirus type 16 E1circumflexE4 contributes to multiple facets of the papillomavirus life cycle.

Project description:The life cycle of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is tightly linked to the differentiation program of the host's stratified epithelia that it infects. E1(circumflex)E4 is a viral protein that has been ascribed multiple biochemical properties of potential biological relevance to the viral life cycle. To identify the role(s) of the viral E1(circumflex)E4 protein in the HPV life cycle, we characterized the properties of HPV type 16 (HPV16) genomes harboring mutations in the E4 gene in NIKS cells, a spontaneously immortalized keratinocyte cell line that when grown in organotypic raft cultures supports the HPV life cycle. We learned that E1(circumflex)E4 contributes to the replication of the viral plasmid genome as a nuclear plasmid in basal cells, in which we also found E1(circumflex)E4 protein to be expressed at low levels. In the suprabasal compartment of organotypic raft cultures harboring E1(circumflex)E4 mutant HPV16 genomes there were alterations in the frequency of suprabasal cells supporting DNA synthesis, the levels of viral DNA amplification, and the degree to which the virus perturbs differentiation. Interestingly, the comparison of the phenotypes of various mutations in E4 indicated that the E1(circumflex)E4 protein-encoding requirements for these various processes differed. These data support the hypothesis that E1(circumflex)E4 is a multifunctional protein and that the different properties of E1(circumflex)E4 contribute to different processes in both the early and late stages of the virus life cycle.

Multiple human papillomavirus infections and type competition in men.

Project description:BackgroundThere is little information on multiple human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and the potential for type competition in men, yet competition may impact the type-specific efficacy of HPV vaccination.MethodsAmong 2702 uncircumcised men in Kisumu, Kenya, who were seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus, the observed numbers of HPV types detected were compared with the expected number, which was simulated under the assumption of independent infections. To assess the potential for HPV type competition, adjusted odds ratios for pairwise combinations of prevalent HPV type infections were estimated using semi-Bayesian methods.ResultsHalf of all men were HPV positive, of whom 57% had multiple HPV types. We observed men without HPV infection and with ≥4 HPV types more often than expected if infections were independent. No negative associations between individual HPV types were observed. HPV types 31, 39, 56, 58, and 59 were positively associated with both carcinogenic vaccine types HPV-16 and HPV-18 (2-sided P value <.05).ConclusionsMen who were HPV infected were likely to test positive for >1 HPV type. Cross-sectional associations between individual HPV types were positive and did not appear to be type-specific. Thus, we did not identify HPV types that are candidates for potential HPV type competition in men.

Genomic Characterization of Canis Familiaris Papillomavirus Type 25, a Novel Papillomavirus Associated with a Viral Plaque from the Pinna of a Dog.

Project description:A 14-year-old West Highland White terrier dog developed multiple raised plaques that were confined to the concave surface of the right pinna. Histology allowed a diagnosis of viral plaque, although the lesions contained some unusual microscopic features. A papillomaviral (PV) DNA sequence was amplified from the plaque using consensus PCR primers. The amplified sequence was used as a template to design 'outward facing' PCR primers, which allowed amplification of the complete PV DNA sequence. The sequence was 7778 bp and was predicted to code for five early genes and two late genes. The ORF L1 showed the highest (83.9%) similarity to CPV15, and phylogenetic analysis revealed the novel PV clustered with the species 3 ChiPVs. The novel PV was designated as canine papillomavirus (CPV) type 25. As CPV25 was not previously detected in a canine viral plaque, this PV type may be a rare cause of skin disease in dogs. However, as plaques that remain confined to the pinna were not previously reported in dogs, it is possible that CPV25 could be more common in plaques from this area of skin. The findings from this case expand the number of PV types that cause disease in dogs. Evidence from this case suggests that, compared to the other canine ChiPV types, infection by CPV25 results in viral plaques in atypical locations with unusual histological features.

Novel betapapillomavirus associated with hand and foot papillomas in a cynomolgus macaque.

Project description:Betapapillomavirus is a genus of papillomaviruses (PVs) commonly found in human skin and associated with both benign and malignant skin lesions. Only 2 previous beta-PVs have been fully characterized in nonhuman species. This report describes a novel beta-PV, named Macaca fascicularis PV type 2 (MfPV2), isolated from exophytic skin papillomas on the hands and feet of a 2-year-old male cynomolgus monkey (M. fascicularis). On histology the papillomas were composed of diffusely thickened epidermis with superficial foci of cytomegaly, cytoplasmic pallor, marginalized chromatin, and rare eosinophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies. Positive immunostaining for p16 and the proliferation marker Ki67 was present multifocally within affected epidermis, most prominently within basal-type cells. Complete sequence identity (100%) was noted between PV genomes fully sequenced from hand and foot lesions. The MfPV2 genome was 7632 base pairs in length and included putative open reading frames (ORFs) for E1, E2, E4, E6, E7, L1, and L2 genes, similar to other PVs. The closest relatives to MfPV2 based on the L1 ORF sequence were all beta-PVs. These included human PV (HPV) 9, HPV115, HPV76, HPV75, and MfPV1 (60-70% pairwise identity for all), the latter of which was also isolated from hand and foot papillomas in a cynomolgus macaque. Phylogenetic analysis placed MfPV2 in a new species group (beta-6), distinct from HPVs (beta-1 to beta-5) and MfPV1 (beta-1). These findings characterize a new nonhuman beta-PV and provide additional support for the idea that tissue tropism among ancestral primate PVs developed prior to divergence of certain Old World primate lineages.
