Abstract

To determine the effect of retinoic acid on the development of severe dysplasia or carcinoma in situ from endocervical cells containing human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16. Two independent lines of HPV 16-immortalized endocervical cells were reconstructed into two squamous epithelial tissues using the organotypic raft culture system to examine the differentiated phenotype. The effect of retinoic acid on dysplastic morphology of differentiation of the epithelia was examined by light microscopy of stained sections and electron microscopy. The endocervical cell type cytokeratin expression pattern was determined by indirect immunofluorescence using specific monoclonal antibodies. Ribonucleic acid expression of the HPV 16 E7 oncogene was examined by in situ hybridization. Untreated HPV 16-immortalized endocervical cells were reconstructed into squamous dysplastic lesions resembling carcinoma in situ observed in women. Retinoic acid-treated rafts formed epithelia composed of two to three cell layers of columnar-like cells resembling simple epithelium of the endocervix. Electron microscopy and cytokeratin expression patterns confirmed the histology of a differentiated endocervical phenotype after treatment with retinoic acid. Expressio...Continue Reading
