Abstract

To investigate whether integration of HPV DNA in cervical carcinoma is responsible for structural alterations of the host genome at the insertion site, a series of 34 primary cervical carcinoma and 8 cervical cancer-derived cell lines were analyzed. DNA copy number profiles were assessed using the Affymetrix GeneChip Human Mapping 250k sty array. HPV 16, 18 or 45 integration sites were determined using the DIPS-PCR technique. The genome status at integration sites was classified as follows: no change; amplification; transition normal/gain, normal/loss or gain/LOH. A single HPV integration site was found in 34 cases, two sites in 7 cases and 3 sites in one case (51 sites). Comparison between integration and DNA copy number profiles showed that the genome status was altered at 17/51 (33%) integration sites, corresponding to 16/42 cases (38%). Alterations detected were amplification in 9 cases, transition normal/loss in 4 cases, normal/gain in 3 cases and gain/LOH in one case. A highly significant association was found between genomic rearrangement and integration of HPV DNA (p<10-10). Activation of the replication origin located in viral integrated sequences in a cell line derived from one of the present cases of primary cervical carcinoma induced an increase of the amplification level of both viral and cellular DNA sequences flanking the integration locus. This mechanism may be implicated in the triggering of cell genomic structural alteration in carcinoma cells. Integration of HPV DNA frequently leads to structural alteration of the host genome and is likely to play a role in tumorigenesis.
