Retroviral and human cellular oncogenes.
Unexpected meeting of two separate lines of research resulted in the discovery of oncogenes. Oncogenes are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences coding for polypeptide gene products which cause, or contribute to, neoplastic growth of cells. Oncogenes remain almost unchanged through evolution: oncogenes and their gene products of avian, murine, feline, simian and human species show close homolog...
متن کاملSuppression of tumorigenicity in human cell hybrids derived from cell lines expressing different activated ras oncogenes.
Four different human tissue-derived cell lines, each previously shown to express either a Ha-, Ki-, or N-ras-activated oncogene, were fused in four different paired combinations. The three combinations that involved the tumor line HT1080 (activated N-ras oncogene) were found to be tumorigenic in nude mice, but to different degrees. However, the fusion of the tumor lines EJ and SW480 (activated ...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis in human tumor cell lines by platelets
Introduction: It has been reported that platelets can eradicate tumor cells in vitro, although the mechanism of this effect has not been determined. The effect of platelets on the induction of apoptosis in tumor cells is largely unknown. Materials and methods: To investigate this effect, two human hematologic cell lines, K562 and Daudi, were independently faced with unstimulated and thromb...
متن کاملRetrovirus particle production in three of four human teratocarcinoma cell lines.
In spite of a long and intensive search, human retroviruses have not yet been demonstrated unambiguously (for review see Pimentel 1979). The electron microscopic detection of retrovirus particles in human term placentas by Kalter and others (Kalter et al. 1973; Vernon et al. 1974) represents at present the most convincing piece of evidence that human oncornaviruses may exist. As our attempts to...
متن کاملCellular oncogenes in neoplasia.
In recent years cellular homologues of many viral oncogenes have been identified. As these genes are partially homologous to viral oncogenes and are activated in some tumour cell lines they are termed "proto-oncogenes". In tumour cell lines proto-oncogenes are activated by either quantitative or qualitative changes in gene structure: activation of these genes was originally thought to be a nece...
