Human Papillomavirus E1 Protein Regulates Gene Expression in Cells Involved in Immune Response.

Human papillomavirus belongs to papovaviridae family papillomavirus A, a spherical deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) virus, which can cause the proliferation of squamous epithelial cells of human skin or mucous membranes. With the rapid increase in the incidence of condyloma acuminatum among STDs and the increase in diseases caused by HPV infection, HPV infection has seriously endangered human health. In this paper, the in vitro detection of HPV E1 protein was realized using AgNCs-dsDNA. And through the test of this detection method, we calculated that the detection limit of this method is 0.886 nM. Compared with other methods for detecting E1 protein in vitro, this method has high sensitivity and simple operation. In addition, the detection method also has good anti-interference and selectivity, and can realize the detection of E1 in serum samples. The transfection efficiency of BLV-miR-B4-3p mimics at different time points was determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR); the transcriptome sequencing of lymphocytes transfected with different concentrations of BLV-miR-B4-3p mimics was performed, and differential gene clustering was performed on the sequencing results. And the BLV-miR-B4-3p target gene prediction and transcriptome analysis results were verified by qPCR. The effects of BLV-miR-B4-3p on the transcriptional levels of immune-related cytokines in human lymphocytes were analyzed. Transcriptome sequencing analysis showed that after BLV-miR-B4-3p entered lymphocytes, a total of 556 differentially expressed genes were obtained. GO enrichment and KEGG analysis results showed that BLV-miR-B4-3p could independently activate influenza. The signaling pathway ultimately affects the body's immune system process, stress response, defense response, immune response, and other biological processes. After BLV-miR-B4-3p enters lymphocytes, it will lead to abnormal lymphocyte immune function, including the mRNA expression of TNF-α in Th1 cytokines which was significantly increased (P < 0.05), and the expression of IL-10 in Th2 cytokines was significantly increased (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression was significantly decreased (P < 0.05), and the mRNA expression of IL-27 was significantly increased (P < 0.001), which did not affect the mRNA expression of lymphocyte proliferation and activation-related regulators. The tumor suppressor breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) and antimicrobial peptide CAMP were significantly increased, and decreased (P < 0.001), and the expression of pro-apoptotic factor Caspase9 showed a significant downward trend (P < 0.05).
