摘要
目的人乳头瘤病毒(Humanpapilomavirus,HPV)16型早期启动子P97控制着病毒癌基因的表达。为了观测长控制区(Longcontrolregion,LCR)上YY1结合位点的破坏对病毒转化能力的影响。方法构建了带有自然发生突变LCR序列的HPV16全基因质粒,利用EMSA和荧光素酶实验检测小鼠纤维细胞胞核内源性YY1蛋白存在和功能状态;将标准及突变的HPV16毒株转染至C127细胞进行软琼脂糖培养基生长实验。结果与上皮类细胞相似,在C127胞核提取物中可检出YY1蛋白,并且具有良好的DNA结合功能和P97活性抑制作用。转化实验显示YY1位点突变HPV16毒株可在软琼脂糖培养基上形成2~10倍量多的生长集落。结论细胞转录调节因子YY1存在于啮齿类动物纤维细胞胞核中;LCR上YY1结合位点的破坏可在完整基因组范围内明显增强病毒对小鼠纤维细胞的转化能力。
Objective To study the effect of removal of YY1 binding sites within the LCR region of HPV 16 on viral transforming activity.Methods Previously we had generated new plasmids carrying HPV 16 whole genome, which contained naturally occurred mutated LCR sequences. The viral transforming abilities on mouse fibroblasts were evaluated in anchorage independent assays, while the expression and activity of YY1 protein in fibrobalsts were tested with EMSA and luciferase assays.Results YY1 protein was expressed in mouse fibroblasts C127, with ability for DNA binding and repression on P97 activity. Both HPV 16 wild type DNA and mutated DNAs were transfected into C127 cells and spread to the soft agarose mediums after selecting with G 418. The growth numbers of the cells transfected with mutated HPV 16 DNAs were 2 10 fold more than that with wild type HPV 16 DNA.Conclusion Like in epithelial cells or cell lines, transcription regulator YY1 is widely expressed in rodent fibroblasts. Removal of YY1 binding motifs can elevate in the context of the whole genome, the anchorage independent growth ability and the transforming capacity of HPV 16 on the mouse fibroblasts.
