The host factors required for in vivo infection have not been investigated for any papillomavirus. Using a recently developed murine cervicovaginal challenge model, we evaluated the importance of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) in human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the murine female genital tract. We examined HPV type 16 (HPV16) as well as HPV31 and HPV5, for which some evidence suggests that they may differ from HPV16 in their utilization of HSPGs as their primary attachment factor in vitro. Luciferase-expressing pseudovirus of all three types infected the mouse genital tract, although HPV5, which normally infects nongenital epidermis, was less efficient. Heparinase III treatment of the genital tract significantly inhibited infection of all three types by greater than 90% and clearly inhibited virion attachment to the basement membrane and cell surfaces, establishing that HSPGs are the primary attachment factors for these three viruses in vivo. However, the pseudoviruses differed in their responses to treatment with various forms of heparin, a soluble analog of heparan sulfate. HPV16 and HPV31 infections were effectively inhibited by a highly sulfated form of heparin, but HPV5 was not, although it bound the compound. In contrast, a N-desulfated and N-acylated variant preferentially inhibited HPV5. Inhibition of infection paralleled the relative ability of the variants to inhibit basement membrane and cell surface binding. We speculate that cutaneous HPVs, such as HPV5, and genital mucosal HPVs, such as HPV16 and -31, may have evolved to recognize different forms of HSPGs to enable them to preferentially infect keratinocytes at different anatomical sites.
