Figure Lengend Snippet: Transcription and RNA splicing from a single HPV16 DNA integration site identified in CaSki cells. ( A ) Virus-host RNA junctions with ≥2 CJRs that mapped to Chr6. ( B ) The integrated HPV16 DNA on Chr6 in CaSki cells and its expression. The integrated HPV 16 DNA between Chr6 nt 45,691,417 and nt 45,691,384 has a redundant E1 and E2 region on each end with the indicated upstream regulatory region (URR) and tail-to-head junction (nt 7,906/1). The fusion RNA is expressed from the viral early promoter P97 and polyadenylated by using a host PAS on Chr6 nt 45,691,310. Arrows below the genome region are the primers used to validate the expression of the virus-host fusion RNA. RNA-seq reads-coverage (0–8,000 scale) in the integrated virus-host genome region and Sashimi plots for splice junctions were visualized by IGV (middle). Three RNA isoforms, including the pre-mRNA (transcript-1) and the spliced mRNA transcript-2 and -3, are shown (bottom). The number in nt below each isoform RNA indicates the estimated length of the RNA without a pA tail. ( C ) Validation of the virus-host DNA junctions at the virus integration site using the primer sets F5 + F10 and B10 + B4. The PCR products in the red rectangles were gel purified and sequenced, with the sequencing chromatograms on the right. ( D ) The cleavage and polyadenylation sites in the virus-host fusion transcripts were mapped by 3′ RACE using an HPV16 primer F4. The sequencing chromatograms on the right show the virus-host junction, PAS (underlined) site, and cleavage site (CS, vertical arrow). ( E ) Northern blot analysis of total CaSki RNA (10 µg) using an antisense oligo probe B3 ( B ) derived from HPV16 nt 855–836. Total RNA from HPV-negative C33A cells served as a negative control. GAPDH served as an RNA loading control. Major isoforms of the virus-host transcripts detected are shown on the right.

( E ) HPV18 DNA integration on Chr8 and its expression in HeLa cells. Diagrams showing the truncated HPV18 genome in size of 4,618 nt in a rearranged Chr8 region with one end of the viral DNA at nt 5,736 in L1 joined to Chr8 DNA at nt 127,218,391 and the other end of the viral DNA at nt 2,497 in E1 joined to Chr8 DNA at nt 127,229,301. Arrows below the chimeric host-virus genome show the primers used for validating the structure and expression of integrated viral DNA. RNA-seq reads-coverage (0–24,620 scale) and Sashimi plots for splice junctions in the Chr8 region with the integrated HPV18 DNA are illustrated by IGV, showing the transcription, splicing, and polyadenylation to produce five RNA isoforms, including the unspliced pre-mRNA transcript-1. The number in nt below each RNA isoform indicates the estimated length of the RNA without a pA tail. ( F ) HPV18 RNA splicing and polyadenylation cleavage sites (CS) were determined by 3′ RACE using HPV18-specific primers F6, F7, or F9. The RACE products were gel-purified and sequenced, with the mapped splice sites, integration junctions, and the PA cleavage site (black arrow) shown on the right chromatograms. ( G ) A viral-host fusion RNA splice junction was identified by RNA-seq and validated by RT-PCR using the primer set B12 + B6, with the sequencing chromatogram on the right. ( H ) Northern blot showing the major viral RNA isoforms transcribed from the identified integration site in HeLa cells. Total RNA (10 µg) and polyA + RNA purified from 100 µg of total RNA were analyzed by Northern blotting using an antisense HPV18 probe ( B7 ). Corresponding RNA samples from an HPV-negative C33A cells served as negative controls. GAPDH RNA served as a sample loading control.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of viral E6 and E7 expression and cell proliferation and promotion of cell senescence by specific siRNAs targeting to the host portion of virus-host fusion RNAs from a single HPV DNA integration site in HPV16 + CaSki and HPV18 + HeLa cells. ( A and C ) Diagram showing the specific targeting sites of siRNAs, si-C for CaSki ( A ) and si-H for HeLa RNAs ( C ). ( B and D ) Specific siRNAs targeting CaSki (si-C) or HeLa (si-H) host portion of the virus-host fusion transcripts inhibit the expression of viral E6 and E7 proteins but stabilizing p53 in HPV16 + CaSki ( B ) and HPV18 + HeLa cells ( D ). Cell lysates were prepared 48 h after transfection of si-C for CaSki and si-H for HeLa cells, along with non-specific siRNA control (si-NC). The relative HPV E6/E7 and p53 protein levels in each sample were immunoblotted by corresponding antibodies. The signal intensity of each viral protein band was quantified after normalizing with GAPDH serving as the protein loading control. ( E and F ) The siRNAs specific to CaSki (si-C) or HeLa (si-H) portion of the host-virus fusion RNAs inhibited cell proliferation ( E ) but promoted cell senescence ( F ). HPV16 + SiHa and HPV − cervical cancer cells C33A served as cell line controls and si-NC as a siRNA control. A CCK-8 cell proliferation assay was applied to examine the cell proliferation at the indicated time ( H ) after cell transfection once (time zero, vertical arrow) with 40 nM of individual siRNAs. The viable cell numbers (mean ± SE from three experimental repeats) in each group were measured by absorbance at 450 nm ( E ). Cell senescence was examined by β-Gal staining ( F ) at day 8 for the indicated cells transfected twice with 40 nM of siRNA in a 72-h interval after first siRNA transfection. The senescent cells with perinuclear blue staining beyond the background level from each experimental group were counted from ~100 cells from six random fields and averaged (mean ± SE) from three independent experiments ( F ). ** P < 0.01 by Student’s t -test.
