The proteins encoded by the human papillomavirus type 16 E6-E7 open reading frame are essential for transformation of the host cell. Two mRNA species, E6*I and E6*II, generated by alternative splicing of a polycistronic pre-mRNA, encode truncated E6 proteins and the E7 protein. Our investigation assessed whether or not the level of expression of E6*I and E6*II varies quantitatively in relation to the grade of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). We used a quantitative reverse transcription PCR assay to quantify these transcripts in concurrently collected biopsy tissue and exfoliated cervical cells from 22 women with a normal cervix or various grades of CIN. We evaluated transcription profiles in relation to CIN grade and specimen type. The expression levels of E6*I and E6*II in exfoliated cervical cells did not vary significantly in relation to the grade of CIN. However, expression of E6*II was significantly diminished or absent in biopsy tissue obtained from CIN grade II and III lesions (P = 0.014). Our findings suggest that quantification of E6*I and E6*II expression in biopsy tissue may be more clinically relevant than analysis of exfoliated cells. The identification of distinct patterns of expression in association with low- and high-grade CIN suggests that quantification of E6*I and E6*II expression in biopsy tissue may have prognostic value as an indicator of CIN progression.
