Abstract

Bovine papillomavirus type 4 (BPV-4) does not possess an E6 ORF. The E6 oncoprotein of human papillomavirus (HPV) binds and degrades the tumour suppressor protein p53, thus contributing to tumour progression. Since BPV-4 lacks E6, it is unknown how the virus evades the tumour suppressor properties of p53 in the induction of tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. Mutations in the p53 gene have been detected both in papillomas and carcinomas, suggesting that p53 dysfunction plays a part in these neoplasias. BPV-4 can transform primary foetal bovine cells (PalFs) in cooperation with an activated gene, but the transformed cells are neither immortal nor tumori- genic. Co-transfection with the HPV-16 E6 (16E6) ORF confers immortality but not tumorigenicity. To investigate the role of p53 in BPV-4 cell transformation , we transfected PalFs and p53- null mouse fibroblasts with BPV-4 DNAin combinations with , 16E6 ORF and mutant (V143A) p53 cDNA. Transfection of PalFs with BPV-4 DNA, and mutant p53 led to cell immortalization, indicating that 16E6 and mutant p53 are functionally equivalent in conferring immortality. However, cotransfection of PalFs with BPV-4 DNA, , and both mutant p53 cDNA and 16E6 ORF resulted in cells which were fully transformed to tumorigenicity. In p53-null mouse fibroblasts, BPV-4 DNA induced transformation by itself, but the transformed cells were incapable of suspension growth. The cotransfection of BPV-4 DNA with 16E6ORF produced many more transformed colonies and the cells were capable of growing in suspension. In this system, therefore, 16E6 confers anchorage-independence to BPV-4-transformed cells in a p53-independent fashion.
