RESUMO
The human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 protein promotes S-phase reentry in a fraction of postmitotic, differentiated keratinocytes. Here we report that these cells contain an inherent mechanism that opposes E7-induced DNA replication. In organotypic raft cultures of primary human keratinocytes, neither cyclin E nor p21cip1 is detectable in situ. However, E7-transduced differentiated cells not in S phase accumulate abundant cyclin E and p21cip1. We show that normally p21cip1 protein is rapidly degraded by proteasomes. In the presence of E7 or E6/E7, p21cip1, cyclin E, and cyclin E2 proteins were all up-regulated. The accumulation of p21cip1 protein is a posttranscriptional event, and ectopic cyclin E expression was sufficient to trigger it. In constract, cdk2 and p27kip1 were abundant in normal differentiated cells and were not significantly affected by E7. Cyclin E, cdk2, and p21cip1 or p27kip1 formed complexes, and relatively little kinase activity was found associated with cyclin E or cdk2. In patient papillomas and E7 raft cultures, all p27kip1-positive cells were negative for bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation, but only some also contained cyclin E and p21cip1. In contrast, all cyclin E-positive cells also contained p27kip1. When the expression of p21cip1 was reduced by rottlerin, a PKC δ inhibitor, p27kip1- and BrdU-positive cells remained unchanged. These observations show that high levels of endogenous p27kip1 can prevent E7-induced S-phase reentry. This inhibition then leads to the stabilization of cyclin E and p21cip1. Since efficient initiation of viral DNA replication requires cyclin E and cdk2, its inhibition accounts for heterogeneous viral activities in productively infected lesions.
