Continuous long-read sequencing of HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer and HPV-positive cancer cell lines

ABSTRACT: The human papillomavirus (HPV) genome is integrated into host DNA in most HPV-positive cancers, but the consequences for chromosomal integrity are unknown. Continuous long-read sequencing of oropharyngeal cancers and cancer cell lines revealed a unique form of structural variation, termed heterocateny here, characterized by heterogeneous, interrelated, and repetative patterns of concatemerized virus and host DNA segments. Evidence of heterocateny was detected in extrachromosomal and/or intrachromosomal DNA in all cases. Unique breakpoint sequences shared across structurally heterogeneous virus-host concatemers within each cancer facilitated stepwise reconstruction of their evolution from a common molecular ancestor. This analysis revealed that unstable virus and virus-host concatemers in ecDNA or integrated form mediate insertion into and excision from chromosomes, capture, rearrangement, and rolling-circle amplification of host DNA, and chromosomal rearrangements. The data indicate that heterocatena is driven by the dynamic, aberrant replication and recombination of an oncogenic DNA virus, thereby extending known consequences of HPV integration to include promotion of intra-tumoral heterogeneity and clonal evolution.

HPV integration generates cellular super enhancer and functions as ecDNA to regulate genome-wide transcription

Project description:Human papillomavirus (HPV) integration is a critical step in cervical cancer development, while the oncogenic mechanism in genome-wide transcriptional level is still poorly understood. In this study, we employed integrative analysis on multi-omics data of cervical cancer cell lines. Through HPV integration detection, super enhancer (SE) identification, SE-associated gene expression and extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) investigation, we aimed to explore the genome-wide transcriptional influence of HPV integration. We identified 5 high-ranking cellular super enhancers generated by HPV integration (the HPV breakpoint induced cellular super enhancers, BP-cSE), leading to intra-chromosomal and inter-chromosomal regulations of chromosomal genes. The pathway analysis showed the dysregulated chromosomal genes were correlated to cervical cancer associated pathways. Importantly, we demonstrated that BP-cSE existed in the HPV-host ecDNA, explaining above transcription alterations. Our results suggest that HPV integration generates cellular super enhancers and functions as ecDNA to regulate unconstraint transcription, expanding the tumorigenic mechanism of HPV integration and providing insights of developing new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Immortalization capacity of HPV types is inversely related to chromosomal instability in immortal descendants.

Project description:Human papillomavirus (HPV) induced immortalization of human foreskin keratinocytes (HFK) is a two-step process, including 1) the bypass of replicative senescence and acquisition of an extended lifespan, and 2) the outgrowth of immortal cells. Our previous study showed that the immortalization capacity of HPV is type dependent, as reflected by the presence or absence of a crisis period before reaching immortality. In the present study we determined how the HPV-type specific immortalization capacity relates to DNA damage induction and overall genomic instability. Early passage HFKs transduced with HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 45, 51, 59, 66 and 70 showed an increased number of double strand DNA breaks compared to controls, without significant differences between the various HPV-types. However, immortal descendants of HPV-transduced HFKs that underwent a crisis period (HPV45-, 51-, 59-, 66- and 70-transduced HFKs) showed significantly more chromosomal aberrations compared to those without a crisis period (HPV16-, 18-, 31-, and 35-transduced HFKs) (p<0.01). In particular, regions on chromosome 5p, 8, and 9q were significantly more frequently altered in cells with crisis. Interestingly, the hTERT locus at 5p was exclusively gained in cell lines with crisis. Chromothripsis was detected in one of the HPV16-immortalized cell lines in which multiple rearrangements within chromosome 8 resulted in a gain of c-MYC. In conclusion, the present study shows that upon HPV-induced immortalization, the number of chromosomal aberrations is inversely related to the immortalization capacity of the virus type. This suggests that hrHPV types with reduced immortalization capacity in vitro, as reflected by a crisis period, require more genetic host cell aberrations to trigger immortalization.

Unique DNA methylation signature in HPV-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinomas

Project description:Background. Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) represent a heterogeneous group of cancers, for which human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is an emerging risk factor. Previous studies showed promoter hypermethylation in HPV(+) oropharyngeal cancers, but only few consistent target genes have been so far described and the evidence of a functional impact on gene expression is still limited. Methods. We performed global and stratified pooled analyses of epigenome-wide data in HNSCCs based on the Illumina HumanMethylation450 bead-array data in order to identify tissue-specific components and common viral epigenetic targets in HPV-associated tumours . Results. We identified novel differentially methylated CpGs and regions associated with viral infection that are independent of the anatomic site. In particular, most hypomethylated regions were characterized by a marked loss of CpG island boundaries, which showed significant correlations with expression of neighbouring genes. Moreover, a subset of only 5 CpGs in few hypomethylated regions predicted HPV status with a high level of specificity in different cohorts. Finally, this signature was a better predictor of survival compared with HPV status determined by viral gene expression by RNA-Sequencing in the TCGA cohort. Conclusions. We identified a novel epigenetic signature of HPV infection in HNSCCs which is independent of the anatomic site, is functionally correlated with gene expression and may be leveraged for improved stratification of prognosis in HNSCCs.

HPV genome expression at invasive cervical carcinomas infected by multiple HPV genotypes

Project description:Multiple HPV genotypes infection is frequently detected in HPV+ cervical lesions, however it is not well stablished how is the different viral interaction during the carcinogenic process. Here we carried out a comprehensive study to characterize the multiple HPV genome expression and integration by RNA-Seq analysis in 19 invasive cervical carcinomas with HPV coinfections. Analysis of tumoral DNA by a hybridization kit indicated multi-infection ranging from 2 to 6 different HPV genotypes, without a preferential species coinfection. The expression analysis showed that a single HPV genotype preferentially expressed its genome, might indicating a competition between the infecting virus. Finally, the search for HPV/human chimeric transcripts indicated integration from just one HPV in almost all samples, corroborating the expression findings.

Expression of miRNAs from HPV-positive penile cancer patients

Project description:PeCa is a rare carcinoma in developed countries, but it presents higher incidence rates in South America, Asia, and Africa, where limited economic and social conditions play a large impact leading to delay in diagnosis, and treatment initiation. The infection by HPV is a the risk factors and can occur through the canonical HPV/p53/RB1 pathway mediated by the E2/E6/E7 viral oncoproteins. During the transformation process, HPV inserts its genetic material into host Integration Sites (IS), affecting coding genes and miRNAs. In penile cancer (PeCa) there is limited data on the miRNAs. Considering the high frequency of HPV infection in PeCa patients in Northeast Brazil, global miRNA expression profiling was performed in high-risk HPV-associated PeCa. A panel of differentially expressed miRNAs (miRDE) was successfully constructed using 22 PeCa tissues and five non-tumor penile tissues.

Genome-wide LOH and DNA copy number alteration in HPV-neg OSCC and their associations with disease-specific survival

Project description:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is associated with high case-fatality. To gain insight into the complexity of OSCC and to identify potential chromosomal changes that may be associated with OSCC mortality, we examined paired DNA from peripheral blood and tumor cells to assess genome-wide LOH and DNA copy number alteration (CNA) and their associations with risk factors, tumor characteristics, and disease-specific mortality among 75 patients with HPV-negative OSCC. We found a highly heterogeneous and complex genomic landscape of HPV-negative tumors, and identified regions in 4q, 8p, 9p, and 11q that seem to play an important role in oral cancer biology and survival from this disease. We used Affymetrix 6.0 SNP arrays to test paired DNA from peripheral blood and tumor cells isolated by laser capture microdissection from 75 patients with HPV-negative OSCC. Peripheral blood DNA is used as reference for CNA to LOH.

Genome-wide analysis of HPV integration in human cancers reveals recurrent, focal genomic instability

Project description:Genomic instability is a hallmark of human cancers, including the 5% caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Here we report a striking association between HPV integration and adjacent host genomic structural variation in human cancer cell lines and primary tumors. Whole genome sequencing revealed HPV integrants flanking and bridging extensive host genomic amplifications and rearrangements, including deletions, inversions and chromosomal translocations. We present a model of ³looping² by which HPV integrant-mediated DNA replication and recombination may result in viral-host DNA concatemers, frequently disrupting genes involved in oncogenesis and amplifying HPV oncogenes E6 and E7. Our high-resolution results shed new light on a catastrophic process, distinct from chromothripsis and other mutational processes, by which HPV directly promotes genomic instability.
