High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) has been recognized as a major causative agent for cervical cancer. Upon HPV infection, early genes E6 and E7 play important roles in maintaining malignant phenotype of cervical cancer cells. By using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats- (CRISPR-) associated protein system (CRISPR/Cas system), a widely used genome editing tool in many organisms, to target HPV16-E7 DNA in HPV positive cell lines, we showed for the first time that the HPV16-E7 single-guide RNA (sgRNA) guided CRISPR/Cas system could disrupt HPV16-E7 DNA at specific sites, inducing apoptosis and growth inhibition in HPV positive SiHa and Caski cells, but not in HPV negative C33A and HEK293 cells. Moreover, disruption of E7 DNA directly leads to downregulation of E7 protein and upregulation of tumor suppressor protein pRb. Therefore, our results suggest that HPV16-E7 gRNA guided CRISPR/Cas system might be used as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cervical cancer.

Notch signaling can serve as a tumor suppressor or tumor promoter in the same kind of cancer, such as human papillomavirus–positive cervical cancer cells. However, the exact mechanisms remain poorly characterized. Our studies demonstrated that constitutively overexpressed active Notch1 via stable transfection with exogenous intracellular domain of Notch1 (ICN) resulted in growth inhibition of the human cervical cancer cell line HeLa by inducing G2–M arrest and apoptosis. Moreover, the growth inhibition was correlated with inhibition of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p50 activation, accompanied by a decrease in the nuclear expression of NF-κB p50 and an increase in the cytosolic expression of IκBα. Consistent with these results, downregulation of cyclin D1 and Bcl-2, which are both the downstream genes of NF-κB, were observed in ICN-overexpressed cells. Overall, our results suggest that NF-κB inhibition may contribute partially to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induced by Notch1 activation in human cervical cancer cells.
