High Levels of Within-Host Variations of Human Papillomavirus 16 E1/E2 Genes in Invasive Cervical Cancer.


ABSTRACT: Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) is the most common HPV genotype found in invasive cervical cancer (ICC). Recent comprehensive genomics studies of HPV16 have revealed that a large number of minor nucleotide variations in the viral genome are present in each infected woman; however, it remains unclear whether such within-host variations of HPV16 are linked to cervical carcinogenesis. Here, by employing next-generation sequencing approaches, we explored the mutational profiles of the HPV16 genome within individual clinical specimens from ICC (n = 31) and normal cervix (n = 21) in greater detail. A total of 367 minor nucleotide variations (167 from ICC and 200 from the normal cervix) were detected throughout the viral genome in both groups, while nucleotide variations at high frequencies (>10% abundance in relative read counts in a single sample) were more prevalent in ICC (10 in ICC versus 1 in normal). Among the high-level variations found in ICC, six were located in the E1/E2 genes, and all of them were non-synonymous substitutions (Q142K, M207I, and L262V for E1; D153Y, R302T, and T357A for E2). In vitro functional analyses of these E1/E2 variants revealed that E1/M207I, E2/D153Y, and E2/R302T had reduced abilities to support viral replication, and that E2/D153Y and E2/R302T failed to suppress the viral early promoter. These results imply that some within-host variations of E1/E2 present at high levels in ICC may be positively selected for and contribute to cervical cancer development through dysfunction or de-stabilization of viral replication/transcription proteins.
