Abstract
Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, is a critical event in the development of multicellular organisms, and its perturbation is implicated in many diseases including cancer. The tumor suppressor protein p53 is known to mediate apoptosis induced by the DNA tumor virus oncoproteins, adenovirus E1A (AdE1A) and SV40 T antigen (SV40 Tag). We have recently demonstrated that the E6 and E7 oncoproteins of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) modulate apoptosis when expressed in the lens of transgenic mice. In this study we have identified the pathways that mediate E7 induction and E6 inhibition of apoptosis during different stages in the development of the lens. E7 transgenic mice made p53-null were only partially rescued in their apoptotic phenotype, indicating that both p53-dependent and -independent pathways mediate E7-induced apoptosis in the lens. The E6 transgene and p53-null genotype acted additively to reduce levels of apoptosis induced by E7 in neonatal lenses, indicating that E6 modulates apoptosis at least in part through p53-independent mechanisms. The partial reduction in E7-induced apoptosis by the p53-null genotype correlated with an increased incidence of lens tumors in adult E7 transgenic mice. Analyses of embryonic lenses at E13.5, E15.5, and E17.5 revealed a temporally distinct activation of p53-dependent and -independent apoptosis in the E7 lens. During the early stages of lens development, apoptosis was highly p53-dependent, whereas at later stages, apoptosis occurred through both p53-independent and -dependent pathways. This later time correlates temporally with the time of normal fiber cell denucleation, which can be inhibited by E6 through a p53-independent mechanism. These data suggest a similarity between the mechanism regulating E7-induced, p53-independent apoptosis and the apoptotic-like developmental process of fiber cell denucleation, and the mechanisms through which E6 suppresses both processes.
