Transfecting keratinocyte and enhancing cell proliferation by integrated HPV11 DNA / 生物工程学报

ABSTRACT

We constructed the plasmid containing the integrated open reading frame (ORF) HPV11 genome, and identified its function, to lay foundation for production of transgenic animal models of HPV11. Recombinant plasmid pQE-Trisystem- EGFP/HPV11 (pE/H) and pQE-Trisystem-EGFP/1.1 copy HPV11 (pE/1.1H) were constructed. Then, the human keratinocyte (KC) was transfected by pE/1.1H, pE/H and closed circular HPV11 and detected. The recombinant plasmid was successfully constructed. The expression of HPV11E6 gene was detected in the experimental group. Fluorescence was observed in the pE/1.1H and pE/H group. The HPV11, pE/H, and pE/1.1 enhanced the KC proliferation, with remarkable differences (P < 0.01) from the control group. Amongst the three experimental groups, pE/1.1H was found to be the weakest. The plasmid containing the integrated ORF of HPV11 (1.1 copy HPV11) genome was successfully constructed. The pE/1.1H had the same phenotype of wild-type HPV11 genome. It provided experimental material and methodological guidance for studying the low-risk HPV, as well as for the production of HPV11 transgenic mice.
