Abstract
Transduction of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E6/E7 into primary culture of human esophageal keratinocytes using a recombinant adenovirus prolonged the life-span, while untreated cells senesced within 14-16 population doublings (PDLs). Up-regulation of telomerase activity and acquisition of serum-resistant growth were observed in the esophageal keratinocytes with extended life-span between 50 and 100 PDLs, and drastically increased after 100 PDLs. A keratinocyte sample with a polymorphism of Pro/Pro at codon 72 of p53 showed resistance to HPV16 E6/E7-induced life-span-extension and immortalization, in contrast to others with p53 polymorphisms of Arg/Arg or Arg/Pro, which did not. The high efficiency of E6/E7-induction by adenovirus vector also revealed the M1 and M2 stages of keratinocyte immortalization first described in this report.Entities:
