          Abstract

          In August 2008, forty dogs out of 400 developed oral warts in a breeding farm in Korea. Canine oral papilloma infection is a common disease in dogs. However, there has been no report of an outbreak of canine oral papillomavirus (COPV) in a group of dogs or in dog breeding farms in Korea, and the genetic analysis of COPV in Korea has yet to be performed. This study diagnosed canine oral papilloma from the oral samples of these dogs based on histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry. Polymerase chain reaction was applied to amplify the corresponding products using pre-existing primer sets for COPV and a universal human papillomavirus targeting L1 gene. Further genetic analysis of the major viral capsid gene L1 confirms the sequences of Korean COPV, which shows a close relationship to previously reported COPV. This study describes the histopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of canine oral papilloma in a group of breeding dogs in Korea and discloses the complete L1 gene sequences of Korean COPV.

          A broad range of human papillomavirus types detected with a general PCR method suitable for analysis of cutaneous tumours and normal skin.

          A pair of degenerate PCR primers (FAP59/64) was designed from two relatively conserved regions of the L1 open reading frame of most human papillomaviruses (HPV). The size of the generated amplicon was about 480 bp. PCR using these primers was found capable of amplifying DNA from 87% (65/75) of the HPV types tested, its sensitivity being 1-10 copies for HPV-5, -20 and -30 clones. HPV was found in 63% (5/8) of tumour samples and in 63% (5/8) of normal skin biopsies from patients with various cutaneous tumours. HPV-5, HPV-8, HPV-12, HPVvs20-4 and six putatively novel HPV types were identified. No correlation was found to exist between specific HPV and tumour types. Skin surface swab samples from one or more sites on three of four healthy volunteers were found to contain HPV, types 12 and 49 being identified, as well as eight novel HPV types, two of which were also found among the patients. In all, HPV was detected in 75% (9/12) of those tested, five HPV types and 12 novel candidate types being identified, and 37% (7/19) of HPV-positive samples were found to manifest more than one HPV type. All the HPV detected manifested high degrees of nucleotide sequence similarity with HPV types associated with skin lesions and epidermodysplasia verruciformis. The overall HPV finding in the skin samples was 50% (20/40) using the FAP primers as compared to 18% (7/40) using another PCR test designed for skin types. The results thus suggest the new method to be sensitive and generally applicable for detecting cutaneous HPV.

            A C-terminal helicase domain of the human papillomavirus E1 protein binds E2 and the DNA polymerase alpha-primase p68 subunit.

            The human papillomavirus (HPV) E1 and E2 proteins bind cooperatively to the viral origin of replication (ori), forming an E1-E2-ori complex that is essential for initiation of DNA replication. All other replication proteins, including DNA polymerase alpha-primase (polalpha-primase), are derived from the host cell. We have carried out a detailed analysis of the interactions of HPV type 16 (HPV-16) E1 with E2, ori, and the four polalpha-primase subunits. Deletion analysis showed that a C-terminal region of E1 (amino acids [aa] 432 to 583 or 617) is required for E2 binding. HPV-16 E1 was unable to bind the ori in the absence of E2, but the same C-terminal domain of E1 was sufficient to tether E1 to the ori via E2. Of the polalpha-primase subunits, only p68 bound E1, and binding was competitive with E2. The E1 region required (aa 397 to 583) was the same as that required for E2 binding but additionally contained 34 N-terminal residues. In confirmation of these differences, we found that a monoclonal antibody, mapping adjacent to the N-terminal junction of the p68-binding region, blocked E1-p68 but not E1-E2 binding. Sequence alignments and secondary-structure prediction for HPV-16 E1 and other superfamily 3 (SF3) viral helicases closely parallel the mapping data in suggesting that aa 439 to 623 constitute a discrete helicase domain. Assuming a common nucleoside triphosphate-binding fold, we have generated a structural model of this domain based on the X-ray structures of the hepatitis C virus and Bacillus stearothermophilus (SF2) helicases. The modelling closely matches the deletion analysis in suggesting that this region of E1 is indeed a structural domain, and our results suggest that it is multifunctional and critical to several stages of HPV DNA replication.

              Naturally occurring, nonregressing canine oral papillomavirus infection: host immunity, virus characterization, and experimental infection.

              Papillomaviruses occasionally cause severe, nonregressing or recurrent infections in their human and animal hosts. The mechanisms underlying these atypical infections are not known. Canine oral papillomavirus (COPV) typically regresses spontaneously and is an important model of mucosal human papillomavirus infections. A severe, naturally occurring, nonregressing COPV infection provided an opportunity to investigate some aspects of viral pathogenicity and host immunity. In this case, the papillomas proved refractory to surgical and medical treatments, including autogenous vaccination and vaccination with capsid (L1) virus-like particles. High levels of induced anti-L1 antibodies appeared to have no effect on the infection. The papillomas spread to oesophageal mucosa, perioral haired skin, and remote cutaneous sites. Isolation of COPV from the animal and sequencing of several regions of the viral genome showed no differences to the COPV prototype. Experimental infection of beagle dogs with this viral isolate resulted in the uncomplicated development and regression of oral warts within the usual period, indicating that the virus was not an unusual pathogenic variant. These findings support the hypothesis that the recurrent lesions seen in some human papillomavirus infections, such as recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis, are associated with specific defects in host immunity rather than variations in viral pathogenicity.
