摘要: 背景与目的:新疆是宫颈癌高发区,该地区宫颈癌高发与人乳头瘤病毒16型(human papillomavirus type 16,HPV-16)感染密切相关。该研究旨在分析新疆地区妇女宫颈病样组织中HPV-16上游调控区(upstream regulatory region,URR)的突变及其功能。方法:以新疆妇女子宫颈上皮非典型增生(cervical intraepithelial neoplasia,CIN)和宫颈癌病样组织标本DNA为模板,PCR扩增HPV-16 URR片段,PCR产物经测序比对,筛选代表性的URR突变体构建至pGL3-Basic载体,将其转染Vero细胞,48 h后检测荧光素酶活性,分析URR突变体启动子活性。结果:采用聚合酶链反应(polymerase chain reaction,PCR)获得了55个HPV-16 URR DNA片段,测序及序列分析发现44个突变位点,其中nt7192(G→T)、nt7433(-→T)、nt7435(C→G)和nt7863(A→-)4个位点的突变为所有序列共有,nt7520(G→A)位点的突变存在于54个样品中,剩余39个位点的突变存在于不同样品中。根据突变的位置、频率和程度,筛选出9个URR突变体分别克隆至pGL3-Basic中荧光素酶基因前并转染Vero细胞。荧光素酶活性分析表明,不同URR突变体的启动子活性差异较大,来源于宫颈癌的URR突变体启动子活性显著高于来源于CIN的URR突变体(P<0.01),部分宫颈癌URR突变体的启动子活性显著高于SiHa和Caski细胞来源的URR参照序列的启动子活性。结论:新疆地区分离的HPV-16URR发生多位点突变,其中部分突变增强了URR内部启动子的活性,导致HPV-16致癌活性增强。

Abstract: Background and purpose: The incidence of cervical cancer is rather high in Xinjiang, which is closely associated with the infection of human papilloma virus type 16 (HPV-16). The purpose of this study was to analyze the variants and function of HPV-16 upstream regulatory region (URR) in the tissues of cervical cancer biopsies from Xinjiang. Methods: The DNAs were extracted from the tissues of cervical epithelial atypical hyperplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer biopsies. HPV-16 URR segments were amplified by PCR. Based on the sequence analysis of the URR, the representative URR variants were selected and cloned into pGL3-Basic. The recombinant plasmids were transfected into Vero cell lines respetively. Luciferase activity of transfected cells was detected 48 h after transfection. Results: Fifty-five HPV-16 URR DNA fragments were obtained through PCR, and 44 mutations were found from the URR fragments. 4 of these mutations, including nt7192(G→T) , nt7433(- →T), nt7435 (C→G) and nt7863 (A→-) occurred in all sequences. The mutation at nt7520 (G→A) occurred in 54 URR sequences, and the 39 other mutations were present in different samples. Based on the location and frequency of the mutations in the URR fragments, 9 URR variants were selected and cloned into pGL3-Basic. Then the luciferase activity of the cells transfected with pGL3- URR plasmids was detected respectively. Promoter activity of URR mutants from cervical cancer are significantly higher than that of URR mutants from CIN (P<0.01). Promoter activity of URR fragments from some cervical cancer was significantly higher than that of the URR fragments from SiHa and Caski cells. Conclusion: Multiple mutations occurred in HPV-16 URR of cervical cancer patients from Xinjiang. The promoter activity and carcinogenicity of some URR mutants have been enhanced.
