Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA is preferentially found in spontaneous abortions, specifically residing in trophoblasts, and transfected HPV-16 DNA replicates and produces progeny in 3A trophoblasts in culture. In this study 3A trophoblasts were shown to display both HPV receptors and infection by HPV-31b and HPV-6 virus resulted in de novo (increasing) HPV DNA replication in these cells (inhibited by neutralizing anti-HPV31b antibodies). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that E1;E4, E6, and L1 were significantly expressed at days 5 (early) and 10 (late), respectively, and in situ immunocytochemistry verified L1 protein expression. Perhaps most important, HPV 31b virus infection caused both a decrease in 3A trophoblast cell numbers in a dose-dependent manner and a low trophoblast-endometrial cell adhesion (both inhibited by neutralizing anti-HPV-31 antibodies). These data further support the hypothesis that HPVs are fully active in trophoblasts and may cause some spontaneous abortions.
