Abstract
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have previously been shown to adsorb to cultured cells via membrane-associated heparan sulfate (HS) and alpha6 integrin. We demonstrate that cultured keratinocytes uniquely secrete a component into the basal extracellular matrix (ECM) which can function to adsorb HPV particles which can then be internalized by adherent cells. This uncharacterized basal ECM adsorption receptor was secreted by normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) and by each of the four keratinocyte-derived cell lines we examined, but not by non-keratinocyte cell lines. Multiple HPV types bound preferentially to this keratinocyte-specific receptor over the membrane-associated receptor, and binding to the basal ECM adsorption receptor was refractory to inhibition by heparin. Like the membrane-associated receptor, this basal ECM component was functional as an adsorption receptor in our in vitro infection model using HPV-11. Unlike particle adsorption, however, successful infection with HPV-11 virions remained sensitive to the pretreatment of virions with heparin. The secreted basal ECM receptor did not colocalize with antibodies against HS, perlecan, or alpha6 integrin, but colocalized with antibody against laminin-5, a marker of keratinocyte ECM and an abundant component of the basement membrane in mucosa and skin. These findings suggest a model for natural infections in which HPV virions, nonspecifically adsorbed to HS on suprabasal keratinocytes throughout an epithelial wound, might be transferred to mitotically active migrating keratinocytes via an intermediate association with the ECM secreted by these cells as they reestablish the basement membrane.
