Persistent infection of basal keratinocytes with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) may cause cancer. Keratinocytes are equipped with different pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) but hrHPV has developed ways to dampen their signals resulting in minimal inflammation and evasion of host immunity for sustained periods of time. To understand the mechanisms underlying hrHPV's capacity to evade immunity, we studied PRR signaling in non, newly, and persistently hrHPV-infected keratinocytes. We found that active infection with hrHPV hampered the relay of signals downstream of the PRRs to the nucleus, thereby affecting the production of type-I interferon and pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This suppression was shown to depend on hrHPV-induced expression of the cellular protein ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) in keratinocytes. UCHL1 accomplished this by inhibiting tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 3 (TRAF3) K63 poly-ubiquitination which lead to lower levels of TRAF3 bound to TANK-binding kinase 1 and a reduced phosphorylation of interferon regulatory factor 3. Furthermore, UCHL1 mediated the degradation of the NF-kappa-B essential modulator with as result the suppression of p65 phosphorylation and canonical NF-κB signaling. We conclude that hrHPV exploits the cellular protein UCHL1 to evade host innate immunity by suppressing PRR-induced keratinocyte-mediated production of interferons, cytokines and chemokines, which normally results in the attraction and activation of an adaptive immune response. This identifies UCHL1 as a negative regulator of PRR-induced immune responses and consequently its virus-increased expression as a strategy for hrHPV to persist. A persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) may cause cancer. Whereas keratinocytes – the cells infected by hrHPV – are equipped with different receptors allowing them to recognize invading pathogens and to activate the immune system, hrHPV has developed ways to evade the host's immune response for sustained periods of time. We showed that hrHPV accomplishes this by interfering with the signaling of the pathogen receptors, thereby hampering the production of cytokines that are known to attract and activate the immune system. HrHPV accomplishes this by upregulating the expression of a cellular protein called ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1). This protein suppresses the activation of signals downstream of the pathogen receptor leading to reduced transcription factor activation and downstream gene expression, in particular that of type I interferon and pro-inflammatory cytokines. This lowers the attraction of immune cells and thereby the chance of hrHPV-infected cells to be recognized and eliminated and as such enables hrHPV to persist.
