    ATCC cervical cancer derived cell line siha
    A stable clone of HPV-16 E6/ E7 expressing <t>human</t> <t>cervical</t> cancer <t>SiHa</t> cells with a p53-Luciferase (p53-Luc) reporter and a clone of HPV-negative RPE-1 cells expressing the same p53-Luc reporter were incubated with DMSO (0.02% (v/v)) or increasing concentrations of compounds added to the media. SiHa-P53-Luc cells (red) and RPE-luc cells (blue) were treated with increasing concentrations of (A) KTI-218 or (B) KT-240 for 24 hrs. To study the contribution of the covalent warhead, we prepared, KTI-239, an analog of KTI-218 that lacks the acrylamide warhead and tested in SiHa-P53-Luc (C) and RPE-luc cells (D ), respectively. Structures of each compound is shown in the insets. Luciferase and cell viability were measured after 24 hours. Luc signal was normalized to cell viability and p53-Luc induction is expressed as fold-change over DMSO control. Data is expressed as S.E.M and each experiment was completed at least three independent times (n ≥ 3).

    SiHa, SiHa C51S, and RPE-1 cells were cultured in KTI-240 (5 µM), DMSO or etoposide (ETO, 25 µM) for 16 hours, cells were lysed, proteins extracted and subjected to Western blot analysis. A) KTI-240 increased p21 levels without affecting p16 protein. (B) E6AP and MDM2 protein levels were not changed after KTI-240 treatment. p53 protein was included as a positive control. KTI-240 decreased Foxm1 and Rb protein expression in SiHa and C51S cells but not RPE-1, while Puma increased only in SiHa cells. The heatmaps in (E) and (F) summarize the detected changes at the mRNA and protein level. (G, H) E6 protein levels were significantly decreased in SiHa cells, while E7 was unchanged in both HPV+ cell lines. Protein expression was normalized to GAPDH and expressed as fold-change. Data was expressed as S.E.M and analyzed using one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s or Bonferroni post hoc analysis were applicable. Experiments were repeated at least three independent times (n ≥ 3; * p < 0.05).

    Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) HPV+ cervical cancer cell lines, SiHa and CaSki, the oral cancer derived lines UM-SCC-47 and UM-SCC-104, and RPE-1 were incubated with increasing concentrations of KTI-218 or DMSO for 24 hours and cell viability was analyzed by Calcein-AM assay. (B) HPV negative RPE-1, human foreskin keratinocytes (HFK) and C51S mutant cells were analyzed for their cell viability after KTI-218 treatment. (C, D) cell viability of SiHa, CaSki, SCC-47, SCC-104, SiHa C51S, and RPE-1, HFK and normal oral keratinocytes was assessed after KTI-240 or DMSO treatment with for 48 hours. Cell viability is expressed as a percent change over DMSO control-treated cells. Data expressed as S.E.M and each experiment was completed at least three independent times (n ≥ 3).

    Article Snippet: These DNA constructs were transfected into HPV16 expressing human cervical cancer derived cell line SiHa (ATCC-HTB35TM), which was selected because levels of E6 and E7 are directed by the native HPV16 promoter.

    ( A, B ) Nu/Nu mice were injected subcutaneously with HPV-16+ SCC-UM-47 cancer cells. Intraperitoneal injections of 50 mg/kg KTI-218 (n=8, green) or vehicle (VH, n=7 black) began when tumors were ∼50-100 mm 3 . Tumor size was measured by calipers and expressed as S.E.M. and analyzed using two-way ANOVA (p<0.01). Representative mice and extracted tumors are shown in ( B ). Nu/Nu mice were injected subcutaneously with HPV-16+ SiHa cancer cells stably expressing a Luciferase construct ( C ). Intraperitoneal (IP) injections of 50 mg/kg KTI-218 (n=5, green) or vehicle (VH, n=4 black) began when all tumors had a bioluminescent signal. Bioluminescence was measured using a IVIS SpectrumCT optical imaging system ( D ). Representative tumors and tumor weights are shown in ( E ). Nu/Nu mice were injected subcutaneously (SC) with ( F ) HPV-negative cervical cancer cell line C33a or ( G ) HPV + SiHa C51S cells. Intraperitoneal injections of 50 mg/kg KTI-218 began when tumors were ∼50-100 mm 3 . ( H ) Nu/Nu mice were injected SC with HPV-16+ SCC-UM-47 cancer cells. IP injections of 50 mg/kg KTI-240 (n=10, green) or vehicle (VH, n=9 black) began when tumors were ∼50-100 mm 3 . Data expressed as S.E.M and analyzed using two-way ANOVA; * p <0.05.
