  • Background: Variants of human papillomavirus (HPV) show more oncogenicity than do prototypes. The HPV16 Asian variant (HPV16As) plays a major role in cervical cancer of Asian populations. Some amino acid changes in the E6 protein of HPV16 variants affect E6 functions such as p53 interaction and host immune surveillance. This study aimed to investigate activities of HPV16As E6 protein on modulation of expression of miRNA-21 as well as interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) 1, 3, 7 and c-fos. Materials and Methods: Vectors expressing E6 protein of HPV16As (E6D25E) or HPV16 prototype (E6Pro) were constructed and transfected into C33A cells. HCK1T cells expressing E6D25E or E6Pro were established by transducing retrovirus-containing E6D25E or 16E6Pro. The E6AP-binding activity of E6 and proliferation of the transfected C33A cells were determined. MiR-21 and mRNA of interesting genes were detected in the transfected C33A cells and/or the HCK1T cells, with or without treatment by culture medium from HeLa cells (HeLa-CM). Results: E6D25E showed binding activity with E6AP similar to that of E6Pro. Interestingly, E6D25E showed a higher activity of miR-21 induction than did E6Pro in C33A cells expressing E6 protein. This result was similar to the HCK1T cells expressing E6 protein, with HeLa-CM treatment. The miR-21 up-regulation significantly corresponded to its target expression. Different levels of expression of IRFs were also observed in the HCK1T cells expressing E6 protein. Interestingly, when treated with HeLa-CM, IRFs 1, 3 and 7 as well as c-fos were significantly suppressed in the HCK1T cells expressing E6D25E, whereas those in the HCK1T cells expressing E6Pro were induced. A similar situation was seen for IFN-${\alpha}$ and IFN-${\beta}$. Conclusions: E6D25E of the HPV16As variant differed from the E6 prototype in its activities on epigenetic modulation and immune surveillance and this might be a key factor for the important role of this variant in cervical cancer progression.

  • Background: Infection with certain human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes is the most important risk factor related with cervical cancer. The objective of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of HPV infection, the distribution of HPV genotypes and HPV E6/E7 oncogene mRNA expression in Turkish women with different cervical cytological findings in Mersin province, Southern Turkey. Materials and Methods: A total of 476 cytological samples belonging to women with normal and abnormal cervical Pap smears were enrolled in the study. For the detection and genotyping assay, a PCR/direct cycle sequencing approach was used. E6/E7 mRNA expression of HPV-16, 18, 31, 33, and 45 was determined by type-specific real-time NASBA assay (NucliSENS EasyQ$^{(R)}$HPV v1.1). Results: Of the 476 samples, 106 (22.3%) were found to be positive for HPV DNA by PCR. The presence of HPV was significantly more common (p<0.001) in HSIL (6/8, 75%) when compared with LSIL (6/14, 42.9%), ASC-US (22/74, 29.7%) and normal cytology (72/380, 18.9%). The most prevalent genotypes were, in descending order of frequency, HPV genotype 66 (22.6%), 16 (20.8%), 6 (14.2%), 31 (11.3%), 53 (5.7%), and 83 (4.7%). HPV E6/E7 oncogene mRNA positivity (12/476, 2.5%) was lower than DNA positivity (38/476, 7.9%). Conclusions: Our data present a wide distribution of HPV genotypes in the analyzed population. HPV genotypes 66, 16, 6, 31, 53 and 83 were the predominant types and most of them were potential carcinogenic types. Because of the differences between HPV E6/E7 mRNA and DNA positivity, further studies are required to test the role of mRNA testing in the triage of women with abnormal cervical cytology or follow up of HPV DNA positive and cytology negative. These epidemiological data will be important to determine the future impact of vaccination on HPV infected women in our region.

  • A new series of 3-alkylthio-6-allylthio-4(or 5)-methylpyridazines (6a-e)-(7a-e) was synthesized from citraconic anhydride (1) for development of candidates possessing anticancer activity. The process involves the formation of pyridazine ring, dichlorination, monoallythiolation, and further another alkylthiolation. Compounds 6a-e, and 7a-e were prepared from 6-allylthio-3-chloro-4-methylpyridazine (4) or 6-allylthio-3-chloro-5-methylpyridazine (5) via nucleophilic substitution reaction with alkylthiol anion as nucleophile. Intermediates 4, and 5 could be converted to target pyridazines 6a-e, and 7a-e using 1~1.5 equivalent of alkylthiol at reflux temperature in methanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The structures of the synthetic compounds were characterized using NMR, IR, and GC-MS analyses.

  • Verotoxin을 산생하지 않은 Escherichia coli O157과 verotoxin을 산생하는 E coli(VTEC)를 건강한 소의 분변에서 분리하여 생화학적 및 유전적인 특성에 대해서 비교하였다. E coli O157 : nonH7(운동성은 있으나 H혈청형이 7이 아님)의 sorbitol 분해능과 ${\beta}-glucurondase$ 활성은 E coli O157 : H7이 나타내는 것과는 차이가 있었다. 그리고 uidA 유전자는 verotoxin 산생능과 상관없이 sorbitol과 ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ 음성인 E coli O157 : H7에서 특이적으로 검출되었다. 한편 6개 목장에서 수거한 소 분변 45예에서 VTEC를 분리한 결과, 7주(15.6%)가 분리되었으며 이들은 모두 sorbitol을 분해하였으며 ${\beta}-glucurondase$ 활성이 있었으나 장벽 부착인자를 지배하는 eaeA 유전자가 없었다. 비록 소가 VTEC의 보균원으로 추정되나, 정상 소에서 분리한 VTEC는 eaeA 유전자가 결여된 균주가 많으므로 공중위생학상 eaeA 유전자를 보유한 E coli 보다 위해성이 낮으며, 이러한 결과는 왜 사람에서 유행하는 VTEC 혈청형과 소에서 유행하는 것과 차이가 있는지를 일부 설명해준다.

  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16, E7 proteins derived from the prototype (Bac73) and natural variant (Bac101) E7 open reading frame were produced in Sf9 insect cells. The variant E7 gene occurred naturally by substitution mutation at the position of 88 nucleotide, resulting serine instead of asparagine. Using E7 specific monoclonal antibody (VD6), both E7 proteins were identified in recombinant baculovirus infected SF9 cells. Radiolabelling and immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that both E7 proteins were phosphoproteins. Immunostaining result showed that E7 proteins were mainly localized in the cytoplasm. Nuclear form of E7 proteins was also detected after a sequential fractionation procedure for removing chromatin structure. Considering that the VD6 recognition site in E7 protein is located within 10 amino acid at the N-terminus, this region appears to be blocked by the nuclear component. Western blot analysis revealed that nuclear form was more abundant than cytoplasmic E7 proteins. Time course immunostaining showed that the primary location of E7 protein was the nucleus and exported to the cytoplasm as proteins were accumulated. These events occurred similarly in both Bac73 and Bac101 infected Sf9 cells, suggesting that these two proteins may have similar biological functions.

  • This study examined the effect of electron-beam (E-beam) irradiation on the electrical properties of n-GaN, AlGaN and AlGN/GaN structures on sapphire substrates. E-beam irradiation resulted in a significant decrease in the gate leakage current of the n-GaN, AlGaN and HEMT structure from $4.0{\times}10^{-4}A$, $6.5{\times}10^{-5}A$, $2.7{\times}10^{-8}A$ to $7.7{\times}10^{-5}A$, $7.7{\times}10^{-6}A$, $4.7{\times}10^{-9}A$, respectively, at a drain voltage of -10V. Furthermore, we also investigated the effect of E-beam irradiation on the AlGaN surface in AlGaN/GaN heterostructure high electron mobility transistors(HEMTs). The results showed that the maximum drain current density of the AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with E-beam irradiation was greatly improved, when compared to that of the AlGaN/GaN HEMTs without E-beam irradiation. These results strongly suggest that E-beam irradiation is a promising method to reduce leakage current of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on sapphire through the neutralization the trap.
