Popis: The host transcription factor p53 is a critical tumor suppressor in HPV-induced carcinogenesis, regulating target genes involved in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. However, the p53 targets have not been thoroughly analyzed in HPV-infected cells. In this study, p53 signaling in HPV16 and HPV18 cells was activated by depleting the viral oncoprotein E6. Subsequently, p53-regulated genes were identified by comparing them with genes altered in p53-silenced cells. True p53 targets were defined as genes with at least one overlapping p53 binding site and ChIP peak near their locus. Our analysis revealed that while some p53 targets were common to both the HPV16 and HPV18 cells, the majority of the targets differed between these two types, potentially contributing to the varying prevalence of HPV16 and HPV18 in cervical cancer. Additionally, we identified SCN2A as a novel p53 target involved in p53-induced cell cycle arrest in HPV-related carcinogenesis. This study provides new insights into the mechanisms by which p53 inhibits HPV-induced carcinogenesis.
