The close association of human papillomavirus type 16 DNA with a majority of cervical carcinomas implies some role for the virus in this type of cancer. To define the transforming properties of HPV-16 DNA in vitro we have now performed transfection experiments on baby rat kidney cells using HPV-16 DNA in conjunction with an activated ras gene. We have demonstrated that a 6.6-kb DNA fragment, containing the early genes of HPV-16 under the control of Moloney murine leukaemia virus long terminal repeats (MoMuLV-LTRs), cooperates with EJ-ras in transforming these cells. Both DNAs are required and neither alone is effective. The cooperating activity appears to reside in a protein or proteins derived from the E6/E7 region of the HPV-16 genome.
人乳头瘤病毒16型(HPV-16)DNA与大多数宫颈癌密切相关,这表明该病毒在这类癌症中发挥了某种作用。为了在体外确定HPV-16 DNA的转化特性,我们现在使用HPV-16 DNA与激活的ras基因相结合,对新生大鼠肾细胞进行了转染实验。我们已经证明,一个6.6 kb的DNA片段,包含在莫洛尼鼠白血病病毒长末端重复序列(MoMuLV-LTRs)控制下的HPV-16早期基因,与EJ-ras协同作用可转化这些细胞。两种DNA都是必需的,单独一种都无效。协同活性似乎存在于源自HPV-16基因组E6/E7区域的一种或多种蛋白质中。
