Abstract

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are the primary causal agents for development of cervical cancer, and deregulated expression of two viral oncogenes E6 and E7 is considered to contribute to disease initiation. Recently, we have demonstrated that transduction of oncogenic HRAS (HRAS(G12V)) and MYC together with HPV16 E6E7 is sufficient for tumorigenic transformation of normal human cervical keratinocytes (HCKs). Here, we show that transduction of HRAS(G12V) on the background of E6E7 expression causes accumulation of MYC protein and tumorigenic transformation of not only normal HCKs but also other normal primary human cells, including tongue keratinocytes and bronchial epithelial cells as well as hTERT-immortalized foreskin fibroblasts. Subcutaneous transplantation of as few as 200 HCKs expressing E6E7 and HRAS(G12V) resulted in tumor formation within 2 months. Dissecting RAS signaling pathways, constitutively active forms of AKT1 or MEK1 did not result in tumor formation with E6E7, but tumorigenic transformation was induced with addition of MYC. Increased MYC expression endowed resistance to calcium- and serum-induced terminal differentiation and activated the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. An mTOR inhibitor (Rapamyc...Continue Reading
