Thus, there is need for OPC preclinical models to evaluate standard and experimental therapeutics in the presence of episomal HPV16 oncogenic drivers. Here we characterize HPV genome structures in eight HPV16+ OPC patient-derived xenografts (PDXs), and evaluate their responses to standard chemotherapy. HPV genome state was investigated by combining Southern blot, T5 exonuclease assay, whole genome sequencing, and RNAseq data. This analysis revealed complexity and variation in integrated vs. episomal HPV forms across PDXs and demonstrated that four PDXs predominantly contain episomal HPV16. Episomal status did not ensure favorable <em>in vivo</em> responses to cisplatin therapy, despite the more favorable prognosis previously attributed to episomal HPV + tumors; this could be due to the small number present in the dataset.

HPV infection requires the viral genome (vDNA) to gain access to nuclei of basal keratinocytes of epithelium. After virion endocytosis, the minor capsid protein L2 dictates the subcellular retrograde trafficking and nuclear localization of the vDNA during mitosis. Prior work identified a cell-permeable peptide termed SNX1.3, derived from the BAR domain of sorting nexin 1 (SNX1), that potently blocks the retrograde and nuclear trafficking of EGFR in triple negative breast cancer cells. Given the importance of EGFR and retrograde trafficking pathways in HPV16 infection, we set forth to study the effects of SNX1.3 within this context. SNX1.3 inhibited HPV16 infection by both delaying virion endocytosis, as well as potently blocking virion retrograde trafficking and Golgi localization. SNX1.3 had no effect on cell proliferation, nor did it affect post-Golgi trafficking of HPV16. Looking more directly at L2 function, SNX1.3 was found to impair membrane spanning of the minor capsid protein. Future work will focus on mechanistic studies of SNX1.3 inhibition, and the role of EGFR signaling and SNX1-mediated endosomal tubulation, cargo sorting, and retrograde trafficking in HPV infection.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52381,"journal":{"name":"Tumour Virus Research","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 200287"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666679024000119/pdfft?md5=1250a168dc79de16a0d68ff0fe70f4a3&pid=1-s2.0-S2666679024000119-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141443749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
