Transformation of human skeletal muscle cells by simian virus 40.
Molecular studies of the biochemical alterations involved in human myopathies have been restricted because of the finite life-span and slow growth rate of cultures derived from primary tissue. Because the tumor virus simian virus 40 (SV40) can alter both the growth properties and longevity of human cells, we have infected skeletal muscle cultures derived from four biopsies with a small-plaque v...
متن کاملSusceptibility of human cell strains to transformation by simian virus 40 and simian virus 40 deoxyribonucleic acid.
Marked differences were found in the susceptibility of human fibroblasts to transformation by simian virus 40 (SV40). Highly susceptible cell strains were derived from patients with diseases associated with chromosomal abnormalities and a high incidence of tumors. In the present study, SV40 transformation-susceptible cell strains were not found to have a generalized increase in viral sensitivit...
متن کاملEJ/ras neoplastic transformation of simian virus 40-immortalized human uroepithelial cells: a rare event.
To determine if expression of mutant p21 ras could convert Simian Virus 40-immortalized human uroepithelial cell line (SV-HUC) to tumorigenicity, SV-HUC cells were transfected with pSV2-neo (a neomycin-resistant gene) or PREJ/ras (c-HA-ras-1 with the 12th codon mutation and neo). Seven independent G418-resistant clones (A----G) were isolated from each group (SV-HUC/ras and SV-HUC/neo). SV-HUC/r...
متن کاملSimian virus 40 (SV40) T-antigen mutations in tumorigenic transformation of SV40-immortalized human uroepithelial cells.
pSV2Neo, a plasmid that contains the wild-type simian virus 40 (SV40) origin of replication (ori), is widely used in mammalian cell transfection experiments. We observed that pSV2Neo transforms two nontumorigenic SV40-immortalized human uroepithelial cell lines (SV-HUC and CK/SV-HUC2) to G418 resistance (G418r) at a frequency lower than that at which it transforms SV-HUC tumorigenic derivatives...
متن کاملHuman mesothelial cells are unusually susceptible to simian virus 40-mediated transformation and asbestos cocarcinogenicity.
Mesothelioma, a malignancy associated with asbestos, has been recently linked to simian virus 40 (SV40). We found that infection of human mesothelial cells by SV40 is very different from the semipermissive infection thought to be characteristic of human cells. Mesothelial cells are uniformly infected but not lysed by SV40, a mechanism related to p53, and undergo cell transformation at an extrem...
