Inhibition of Fas (CD95) expression and Fas-mediated apoptosis by oncogenic Ras.
The ras oncogene plays an important role in the multistep progression to cancer by activation of signal transduction pathways that contribute to aberrant growth regulation. Although many of these effects are cell autonomous, the ras oncogene also regulates the expression of genes that alter host/tumor interactions. We now extend the mechanisms through which ras promotes tumor survival by demons...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition by vaccinia virus growth factor.
Vaccinia virus growth factor (VGF), a highly glycosylated 77-residue epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like polypeptide encoded in vaccinia poxvirus, is reported to play an important role in stimulating growth of uninfected cells to facilitate virus infection. We have chemically synthesized the unglycosylated forms of VGF and VGF19-69, a shortened VGF analog consisting of 51 residues and comprising...
متن کاملCD47 augments Fas/CD95-mediated apoptosis.
Fas (CD95) mediates apoptosis of many cell types, but the susceptibility of cells to killing by Fas ligand and anti-Fas antibodies is highly variable. Jurkat T cells lacking CD47 (integrin-associated protein) are relatively resistant to Fas-mediated death but are efficiently killed by Fas ligand or anti-Fas IgM (CH11) upon expression of CD47. Lack of CD47 impairs events downstream of Fas activa...
متن کاملCD4+ T cells inhibit growth of Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cells through CD95-CD95 ligand-mediated apoptosis.
Greater than 90% of the human population acquire Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in infancy and retain a lifelong latent infection without any clinical consequences. Nevertheless EBV has been identified as the causal agent of infectious mononucleosis, and is associated with several tumours including endemic Burkitt's lymphoma and B cell lymphomas in immunosupressed patients. B cells infected with EBV ...
متن کاملInhibition of vaccinia virus replication by canavanine and canaline.
Both L-canavanine, the oxyguanidinium analogue of arginine, and L-canaline, the equivalent oxyamine analogue of ornithine, inhibit the replication of vaccinia virus in HeLa cells. Inhibition by canavanine is reversed progressively by the simultaneous addition of increasing amounts of arginine but inhibition by canaline is not reversed by addition of ornithine. However, the inhibitory effect of ...
