Progression from normal to malignant cervical epithelium during high-risk HPV-associated carcinogenesis is characterized by the development of genomic instability as manifested by abnormal chromosome numbers, i.e., aneuploidy (3) . The high-risk HPV E6 and E7 oncoproteins can independently induce genomic instability in normal human cells (4, 5, 6) . As in many cancers (7) , genomic instability in high-risk HPV-induced lesions is associated with centrosome abnormalities (8) . The centrosome is the major microtubule organizing center in interphase and mitotic cells and assures symmetry and bipolarity of the cell division process by duplicating precisely once before a cell division (9) . Centrosome abnormalities have been detected in a wide variety of tumors; however, the mechanistic significance of centrosome abnormalities for the induction of genomic instability has been debated. On one hand, it has been proposed that abnormal centrosome numbers may directly cause mitotic defects that lead to genomic instability. According to this model, centrosome abnormalities emerge early during neoplastic progression in cells that do not yet show other manifestations of genomic instability. Alternatively, centrosome abnormalities may simply reflect genomic instability and accumulate in parallel with other cellular abnormalities. These two models have different implications for the diagnostic and prognostic value of centrosome abnormalities in human tumors. We have shown previously (8) that high-risk HPV E6/E7 oncoproteins cooperate to induce centrosome abnormalities and mitotic defects. Here we address the question whether E6- and E7-induced centrosome abnormalities drive the process of genomic instability or merely reflect the accumulation of cellular alterations. Expression of HPV-16 E7 is associated with an abnormal synthesis of centrioles and induces abnormal centrosome numbers early during neoplastic progression in primary human epithelial cells that do not display extensive nuclear abnormalities. In contrast, in HPV-16 E6-expressing cells, centrosome abnormalities accumulate in cells with marked nuclear atypia. These results support the model that HPV-16 E7 causes mitotic abnormalities through dysregulation of centrosome homeostasis early during malignant progression and therefore represents a potential driving force for genomic destabilization.

The human U2OS osteosarcoma cell line was obtained from American Type Culture Collection and maintained as described previously (8) . Cells were stably transfected with a centrin-GFP plasmid (Ref. 12 ; kindly provided by M. Bornens; Institute Curie, Paris, France), followed by retroviral infection with pBABE E7 or empty vector used as control, and selected with puromycin.
Immunological and Cell Staining Methods.
Cell lysates were made and analyzed for expression of viral oncoproteins as described previously (2)
. Antibodies specific for p53 (Ab-6; Calbiochem, San Diego, CA) and HPV-16 E7 (ED17; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) were used.
Analysis of centrosomes in cultured cells was performed as described previously using
-tubulin-specific antibodies (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). For analysis of proliferating cells, a monoclonal antibody against Ki67 (Dako, Carpinteria, CA) was used at a 1:25 dilution. Keratinocyte differentiation was evaluated using a transglutaminase antibody (Neomarkers, Fremont, CA) at a 1:50 dilution. Primary antibodies were followed by rhodamine red donkey antimouse secondary antibodies at a 1:100 dilution (Jackson Immunoresearch, West Grove, PA) or fluorescein-labeled donkey antimouse secondary antibodies (Jackson Immunoresearch) at a 1:2000 dilution, respectively.
For simultaneous detection of centrosomes and chromosome 11, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and permeabilized with 2% Triton X-100 for 20 min, both at room temperature. Cells were then denatured in 70% formamide/2x SSC for 5 min at 72°C and stained for the pericentriolar marker
-tubulin followed by incubation with a chromosome 11
-satellite FISH probe (Vysis, Downers Grove, IL) overnight at 37°C as described previously (8)
.
Apoptotic cells were visualized using the TACS 2 TdT-DAB in situ apoptosis detection kit (Trevigen, Gaithersburg, MD) according to the manufacturers instructions.
Detection of senescence-associated ß-galactosidase activity (pH 6.0) was performed as described previously (13) .
Statistical Methods.
Students two-tailed t test for independent samples was used wherever applicable to ascertain the statistical significance of the differences observed. Mean percentage and SE of at least three independent experiments (at least 100 cells evaluated per experiment) are given unless indicated otherwise.

HPV-16 E7 Induces Centrosome Abnormalities in Mononucleated Cells with Normal Chromosome 11 Numbers.
HPV-16 E7 oncoprotein expression induces abnormal centrosome numbers in cells lacking extensive nuclear atypia (Fig. 1, C and D)
. To rule out the possibility that these cells are not polyploid or aneuploid under maintenance of a mononucleated phenotype, we analyzed cells simultaneously for centrosome abnormalities and copy numbers of chromosome 11 (Fig. 1, EG)
using a combination of immunofluorescence and FISH. Copy number variability of chromosome 11 has been reported previously (8)
to increase early during the development of genomic instability in NHKs expressing high-risk HPV oncoproteins. We found abnormal centrosome numbers in 6.4% of mononucleated cells expressing HPV-16 E7 and exhibiting a normal chromosome 11 copy number (Fig. 1, F and G)
. In contrast, LXSN-infected control cells and cells expressing HPV-16 E6 showed abnormal centrosome numbers in only 0.63% and 0.62% of mononucleated cells with normal chromosome 11 copy number, respectively (Fig. 1, E and G)
. This finding further supports the notion that expression of HPV-16 E7 promotes abnormal centrosome duplication before the establishment of extensive nuclear abnormalities.
HPV-16 E7 Increases Centriole Synthesis.
Because these results suggest that HPV-16 E7 affects centrosome homeostasis as an early event during neoplastic progression, we next sought to determine whether this function of E7 is associated with accelerated centrosome synthesis. To address this question, we manipulated the U2OS human osteosarcoma cell line to stably express a centrin-GFP plasmid (kindly provided by M. Bornens; Ref. 12
; Fig. 1, HK
). Centrin is a Mr 20,000 protein that associates with individual centrioles that form the core components of centrosomes (12)
. U2OS/centrin-GFP cells were then engineered to express HPV-16 E7 or empty vector used as negative control. We found a 3.3-fold increase of the proportion of cells with abnormal centriole numbers from 6.3% in controls to 20.9% in HPV-16 E7-expressing cells (P
0.005; Fig. 1J
). According to a recently published study (12)
,
-tubulin-positive centrosomal structures in a cell can contain one or two centrioles. To determine whether expression of HPV-16 E7 can induce an abnormal production of centrioles within
-tubulin-positive structures, we simultaneously analyzed cells for centriole numbers and
-tubulin expression (Fig. 1, H, I, and K)
. We found that in cells exhibiting a normal number of
-tubulin dots (i.e., 1 or 2 dots/cell), 10.6% of HPV-16 E7-expressing cells showed an abnormal centriole number (>4 centrioles/cell; Fig. 1K
). This is a 2.5-fold increase compared to only 4.2% in control cells (P
0.05). These data show that HPV-16 E7 induces excessive synthesis of centrioles even in the presence of a normal number of
-tubulin positive structures.
Expression of HPV-16 E6 Oncoprotein in Primary Human Keratinocytes Is Associated with Nuclear Abnormalities and Accumulation of Centrosomes.
Expression of HPV-16 E6 in primary human cells results in abnormal centrosome numbers only after a prolonged time interval. We sought to determine whether centrosome abnormalities in those cells develop together with other cellular alterations, particularly nuclear abnormalities. An increased proportion of NHKs expressing HPV-16 E6 alone or in combination with HPV-16 E7 displayed advanced nuclear atypia, namely multinucleation (
3 nuclei/cell). This alteration of nuclear morphology in the presence of HPV-16 E6 is illustrated in Fig. 2
.

We next examined whether these cells were viable or rather represented cells prone to undergo apoptotic cell death, replicative senescence, or differentiation. For this purpose, cells from NHK populations expressing control virus or HPV-16 E6 were costained for centrosomes and the proliferation-associated marker Ki67 (Fig. 3D)
. We found that 41% of HPV-16 E6-expressing cells with multiple nuclei and abnormal centrosome numbers expressed Ki67, which was in a similar range compared to the overall percentage of Ki67 positivity in the HPV E6 population with abnormal centrosomes (38%). In contrast, the overall proportion of Ki67-positive cells with centrosome abnormalities in the control population was 6%.
Terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling staining revealed only occasional apoptotic cells (<1%) even in the multinucleated population (Fig. 3D)
. Replicative senescence was analyzed using senescence-associated ß-galactosidase activity as a marker, and approximately one-third of the multinucleated cells showed weak ß-galactosidase activity (Fig. 3D)
. Expression of the differentiation marker transglutaminase was not detectable in the majority of multinucleated cells of the HPV-16 E6-infected NHK population (Fig. 3D)
.
These results demonstrate that in the presence of HPV-16 E6, there is an increased proportion of cells that displays marked nuclear atypia and accumulates abnormal centrosome as the nuclear atypia advances. These cells still replicate DNA but apparently are unable to undergo coordinated cell division, and a proportion of such cells eventually undergoes replicative senescence.

We have shown previously (8)
that expression of HPV-16 E6 and E7 oncoproteins in primary human keratinocytes leads to abnormal centrosome numbers as well as centrosome-related mitotic defects. In this study, we correlated abnormal centrosome numbers to nuclear atypia in age-matched NHK populations, and we showed that expression of HPV-16 E7 can induce abnormal centrosome numbers in mononucleated cells before the development of extensive morphological aberrations. We detected excessive centriole formation in the presence of E7, a proportion of which acquires the pericentriolar component
-tubulin, which is essential for the nucleation of microtubules (12)
. In these cells, it is very likely that upon cell division, abnormal mitotic spindle formation occurs (8)
as a consequence of abnormal centrosome numbers. Hence HPV E7 and presumably functionally related viral and cellular oncogenes can cause centrosome abnormalities that give rise to chromosome missegregation and therefore precede nuclear and genomic abnormalities. In contrast, centrosome abnormalities in HPV-16 E6-expressing cells are associated with marked nuclear atypia, namely, multiple irregular nuclei. The vast majority of E6-expressing cells with abnormal centrosome numbers also exhibit multiple nuclei (Fig. 3B)
. Hence, in HPV-16 E6-expressing cells, centrosomes accumulate in parallel with nuclear damage. Many multinucleated cells showed nuclear immunoreactivity for the proliferation marker Ki67, indicating that these cells are viable but apparently unable to undergo a regulated division. It has been reported that multinucleated squamous cells in cervical lesions were highly positive for HPV DNA (16)
, and such abnormal cells may therefore play some role in the viral life cycle. Previous studies have shown that cells lacking p53 and p21Cip1 can reenter S phase without completing mitosis and cytokinesis and develop abnormal centrosome numbers (17)
. Because, in our experiments, multinucleated cells were most prevalent in cells expressing HPV-16 E6, it is conceivable that the known ability of E6 to impair p53-dependent checkpoint control may enable cells to reenter S phase and accumulate abnormal numbers of centrosomes. The extent of nuclear abnormalities that is observed in multinucleated cells would predict that these cells are prone to undergo apoptotic cell death. However, multinucleated cells did not show an increased rate of cell death, but some of them eventually undergo replicative senescence (Fig. 3D)
.
In summary, there are two distinct pathways for the development of abnormal centrosome numbers in tumor cells. Here we show that they are not mutually exclusive; in contrast, they cooperate. The first pathway involves abnormal duplication of centrosomes that drive chromosome missegregation and lead to aneuploidy. Our results support this hypothesis by demonstrating that high-risk HPV E7 that degrades pRB induces increased centriole synthesis, leading to abnormal centrosome numbers before the appearance of extensive nuclear abnormalities. In cells expressing the high-risk HPV E6 oncoprotein that inactivates p53, we observed accumulation of abnormal centrosome numbers in parallel with nuclear atypia, primarily multinucleation. In this case, centrosome abnormalities may merely reflect genomic instability and develop as a secondary phenomenon. Because cervical cancers express both E6 and E7, both processes, abnormal centrosome duplication and accumulation of abnormal centrosome numbers, are active during high-risk HPV-associated carcinogenesis. This is consistent with our previous study that showed that E6 and E7 oncoproteins cooperate in inducing these alterations (8) . The HPV-16 E7 oncoprotein acts as a driving force for centrosome-related mitotic defects and genomic instability by inducing abnormal centriole synthesis, whereas expression of E6 increases the likelihood that such abnormal cells will remain proliferatively active and thus accumulate nuclear abnormalities. Given the frequent inactivation of the major cellular targets of the HPV oncoproteins, the p53 and pRB tumor suppressor pathways in many tumors, these findings have general implications for the induction and propagation of genomic instability during human carcinogenesis
