HPV-16 infection may play an important role in the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) among never-smokers. Due to the critical role of angiogenesis in NSCLC development, we describe here the effect of HPV-16 oncoproteins on angiogenesis in NSCLC and the underlying mechanisms. We found that overexpression of HPV-16 E6 and E7 oncoproteins in NSCLC cells significantly promoted angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo, and correspondingly, an enhanced expression of HIF-1 alpha and VEGF, important pro-angiogenic factors in tumor angiogenesis. Meanwhile, overexpression of HPV-16 oncoproteins also led to HIF-1 alpha-dependent increases in the secretion of several other pro-angiogenic factors, including IL-8. Our findings suggest that HPV-16 oncoproteins contribute to the development of NSCLC possibly by promoting HIF-1 alpha/VEGF-mediated tumor angiogenesis. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
