High Genotypic Diversity, Putative New Types and Intra-Genotype Variants of Bovine Papillomavirus in Northeast Brazil.

ABSTRACT: Bovine papillomavirus (BPV) can cause damage to the epithelial and mucosal tissue and currently presents 28 known types. Not all BPV types are associated with the development of cancer in cattle. Studies have shown that variants of human papillomavirus types can present different pathogenic profiles. However, despite the similarity, it is not yet known whether variants of BPV types can also present varying degrees of pathogenicity. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic variability of BPV types and variants isolated in Northeastern Brazil. Samples were obtained from animals with papillomatous lesions. BPV DNA was detected by the amplification of the L1 gene and genotyping was performed by sequencing. Mutations were analyzed in a phylogenetic, structural and functional context. In total, 52 positive samples were obtained and 11 different BPV types were identified in the samples. Ten putative new BPV types were also identified. In addition, several non-synonymous mutations were identified and predicted to alter protein stability, having an impact on immune evasion. The study demonstrated a high genetic diversity of BPV in the region with a large number of mutations identified, serving as a basis for more efficient control measures to be adopted for bovine papillomatosis.

Project description:Persistent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 31 and 33 is an important causative factor for cervical cancer. The E6/E7 genes are key oncogenes involved in the immortalization and transformation of human epithelial cells. Genetic polymorphism may lead to differences in the virus' carcinogenic potential, the immune reaction of the host, and the potencies of vaccines. Few studies on HPV31/33 E6/E7 genetic polymorphism have been carried out. To study the genetic polymorphism of HPV31 and HPV33 E6/E7 genes in northeast China, these genes (HPV31 E6/E7, n = 151; HPV33 E6/E7, n = 136) were sequenced and compared to reference sequences (J04353.1, M12732.1) using BioEdit. Phylogenetic trees were constructed by the neighbor-joining method using MegaX. The diversity of the secondary structure was estimated using the PSIPred server. The positively selected sites were analyzed using PAML4.9. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and MHCII epitopes were predicted using the ProPred-I server and ProPredserver. B-cell epitopes were predicted using the ABCpred server. In the 151 HPV31E6 sequences, 25 (25/450) single-nucleotide mutations were found, 14 of which were synonymous mutations and 11 were nonsynonymous. In the 151 HPV31E7 sequences, 8 (8/297) nucleotide mutations were found, 3 of which were synonymous mutations and 5 were nonsynonymous. In the 136 HPV33E6 sequences, 17 (17/450) nucleotide mutations were observed, 7 of which were synonymous mutations and 10 were nonsynonymous. C14T/G (T5I/S) was a triallelic mutation. Finally, in the 136 HPV33E7 sequences, 9 (9/294) nucleotide mutations were observed, 3 of which were synonymous mutations and 6 were nonsynonymous. C134T/A (A45V/E) and C278G/A (T93S/N) were triallelic mutations. Lineage A was the most common lineage in both HPV31 and HPV33. In all of the sequences, we only identified one positively selected site, HPV33 E6 (K93N). Most nonsynonymous mutations were localized at sites belonging to MHC and/or B-cell predicted epitopes. Data obtained in this study should contribute to the development and application of detection probes, targeted drugs, and vaccines.
