Direct Comparison of HPV16 Viral Genomic Integration, Copy Loss, and Structural Variants in Oropharyngeal and Uterine Cervical Cancers Reveal Distinct Relationships to E2 Disruption and Somatic Alteration
SIMPLE SUMMARY: HPV16 causes approximately 60% of uterine cervical cancer and 95% of HPV-driven oropharynx cancers. Despite both being HPV-associated, these tumors are very different. We directly compare integration of the HPV16 genome into the human genome in these two diseases, finding that the vi...

description | SIMPLE SUMMARY: HPV16 causes approximately 60% of uterine cervical cancer and 95% of HPV-driven oropharynx cancers. Despite both being HPV-associated, these tumors are very different. We directly compare integration of the HPV16 genome into the human genome in these two diseases, finding that the viral gene E2 is frequently lost in cervical cancer, but usually maintained in oropharyngeal cancer. We also found that oropharyngeal cancers with integration have many more integration sites per tumor and these more frequently occur in genomic regions with a high density of genes. ABSTRACT: Squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx caused by HPV type 16 (HPV16+ OPSCC) is the most common HPV-associated malignancy in the USA and has many molecular differences from uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma (UCSCC). Our understanding of HPV oncogenesis relied on studies of UCSCC revealing a consensus model reliant on HPV integration with a loss of E2. Here, we compare patterns of HPV integration in UCSCC and OPSCC by analysis of affinity capture sequencing of the HPV16 genome in 104 OPSCC and 44 UCSCC tumors. These cohorts were contemporaneously sequenced using an identical strategy. Integration was identified using discordant read pair clustering and assembly-based approaches. Viral integration sites, structural variants, and copy losses were examined. While large-scale deep losses of HPV16 genes were common in UCSCC and were associated with E2 loss, deep copy losses of the HPV16 genome were infrequent in HPV16+ OPSCC. Similarly, structural variants within HPV16 favored E2 loss in UCSCC but not OPSCC. HPV16 integration sites were non-random, with recurrent integration hot-spots identified. OPSCC tumors had many more integration sites per tumor when compared to UCSCC and had more integration sites in genomic regions with high gene density. These data show that viral integration and E2 disruption are distinct in UCSCC and OPSCC. Our findings also add to growing literature suggesting that HPV tumorigenesis in OPSCC does not follow the model developed based on UCSCC. |
