Abstract
Objective
To study the interaction of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16 E6) protein and human death domain associated protein (hDaxx) and its effect on apoptosis of HeLa cells to provide the experimental basis for exploring the oncogenic mechanism of HPV16 E6 protein.
Methods
Recombinant vector of pGADT7/E6 or pGBKT7/hDaxx was constructed. The interaction of E6 protein and hDaxx was detected by yeast two-hybrid system. Their expression in yeast was detected by Western blotting. The eukaryotic plasmids of E6 and hDaxx were co-transfected into HeLa cells. Apoptosis was induced by 5-FU. The apoptotic rate was measured by flow cytometry (FCM).
Results
E6 protein had intracellular interaction with hDaxx. The apoptotic rate was rising with the increase in the transfection quantity of pcDNA3.1 (-) / hDaxx in pcDNA3.1 (-) /E6 and pcDNA3.1 (-) / hDaxx co-transfected cells. The difference was significant (P < 0. 01).
Conclusion
There is intracellular interaction between HPV16 E6 protein and hDaxx. The over-expression of hDaxx can increase the sensitivity of E6 protein positive HeLa cells to 5-FU. The effect was in a dose dependent manner. HPV16 E6 protein inhibited the apoptosis of HeLa cells by interacting with hDaxx.
