Abstract in Portuguese
A infecção por papilomavírus humano (HPV) é o principal fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de neoplasias intra-epiteliais cervicais, as lesões precursoras do carcinoma da cérvice uterina. O fator de necrose tumoral-α (TNF-α) é um dos principais mediadores da inflamação da pele e das mucosas. Esta citocina é capaz de inibir a proliferação de queratinócitos normais e imortalizados por HPV-16. Por outro lado, queratinócitos imortalizados por HPV-18 ou transformados por HPV 16 ou 18 são resistentes aos efeitos do TNF-α. Entretanto, a base molecular desta diferença ainda é pouco conhecida. No presente estudo observamos o aumento dos níveis do inibidor de quinases p21, diminuição dos níveis de ciclina A e a ativação do fator NF-κB após tratamento com TNF-α, apenas em células sensíveis à citocina. Por outro lado não foi observada alteração dos níveis de p16, p27, p65, ciclinas D1, E e CDKs -4 e -6 em nenhuma das linhagens estudadas. Culturas organotípicas (rafts) de queratinócitos normais apresentaram uma acentuada inibição da proliferação após o tratamento com TNF-α. Isso não foi observado em rafts de queratinócitos infectados com o genoma completo de HPV-18. Entretanto, as culturas organotípicas transduzidas com vetores retrovirais contendo o gene viral E7 apresentaram um fenótipo intermediário, indicando que a proteína E7 desempenha um papel na resistência a esta citocina.

Abstract in English
Infection by Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the major etiologic factor in the development of cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia, the precursor of carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is one of the main mediators of skin and mucosa inflamation and has a potent anti-proliferative effect on normal and HPV16 immortalized keratinocytes. On the other hand, HPV-18 immortalized and HPV-16 or -18 transformed keratinocytes are resistant to TNF-α. However the molecular basis of this difference is not well understood. In the present study we observed and increase in the CDK inhibitor p21, reduced levels of cyclin A and activation of NF-κB factor only in cells sensitive to this cytokine. Conversely, no alterations in the p16, p27, p65, cyclins D1, E and CDKs -4 and -6 levels was observed in any of the cell lines analyzed. Proliferation of normal primary human keratinocytes (PHK) raft cultures was markedly inhibited after treatment with TNF-α. This was not observed in cultures transfected with HPV-18 whole genome. Cultures transduced retroviral vectors carrying the E7 viral gene showed an intermediate phenotype suggesting that this protein contribute to TNF-α resistance.
