The effects of interferon (IFN)-alpha, IFN-beta and IFN-gamma on human papillomavirus (HPV) oncogene expression were studied in various cervical carcinoma cell lines containing integrated copies of either HPV type 16 or HPV type 18. The levels of E6 and E7 transcripts were examined 6 h and 30 h after treatment with IFN. In HeLa cells, all three classes of IFNs effected a decrease in the level of HPV-18 E6 and E7 transcripts. On the other hand, none of the IFNs altered the level of these transcripts in C-4II cells. Only IFN-gamma decreased the level of HPV-16 E6 and E7 transcripts in CaSki and HPK1A cells, while IFN-gamma actually increased the level of these transcripts in SiHa cells. This differential IFN regulation of HPV expression in various cervical cancer cell lines may account for the contradictory clinical results observed after treatment of cervical cancer with IFN.
