Persistent HR-HPV infection is a major risk factor for cervical cancer, but therapeutic approaches are limited. 25HC has inhibitory effects on various viruses and has potential as an intervention against HPV infection. In this study, the anti-HPV efficacy of 25HC was evaluated using different HPV pseudoviruses in cell and mouse models. The mechanisms behind its inhibitory effects were investigated, revealing that 25HC perturbs F-actin rearrangement by reducing small GTPase prenylation, leading to failed infection.
Persistent high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) infection is the main risk factor for cervical cancer, threatening women's health. Despite growing prophylactic vaccination, annual cervical cancer cases are still increasing and show a trend of younger onset age. However, therapeutic approaches towards HPV infection are still limited. 25-hydrocholesterol (25HC) has a wide-spectrum inhibitory effect on a variety of viruses. To explore efficient interventions to restrict HPV infection at an early time, we applied different pseudoviruses (PsV) to evaluate anti-HPV efficacy of 25HC. We tested PsV inhibition by 25HC in cervical epithelial-derived HeLa and C-33A cells, using high-risk (HPV16, HPV18, HPV59), possibly carcinogenic (HPV73), and low-risk (HPV6) HPV PsVs. Then we established murine genital HPV PsV infection models and applied IVIS to evaluate anti-HPV efficacy of 25HC in vivo. Next, with the help of confocal imaging, we targeted 25HC activity at filopodia upon HPV exposure. After that, we used RNA-seq and Western blot analysis to investigate (1) how 25HC disturbs actin cytoskeleton remodeling during HPV infection and (2) how prenylation regulates the cytoskeletal remodeling signaling pathway. Our findings suggest that 25HC perturbs F-actin rearrangement by reducing small GTPase prenylation. In this way, the phenomenon of HPV virion surfing was restricted, leading to failed infection.
