چکیده

Infection of mouse embryo cells with two strains of murine sarcoma virus and one strain of murine leukemia virus was followed rapidly by synthesis of DNA in the cytoplasm. Persistently infected cells have not shown such synthesis, and ultraviolet-irradiated virus did not induce DNA synthesis. This new DNA presumably represents an intermediate in the virus replication cycle specified by the virion DNA polymerase(s). Failure to observe cytoplasmic DNA synthesis in persistently infected cells suggests, in keeping with the results of inhibitor experiments, that the new "viral" DNA becomes associated with cellular DNA in some form of stable interaction.

Stimulated normal human lymphocytes contain a ribonuclease-sensitive DNA polymerase distinct from viral RNA-directed DNA polymerase.

Ribonuclease-sensitive DNA synthesis is demonstrated in a cytoplasmic particulate fraction of normal human blood lymphocytes stimulated with phytohemagglutinin, but not in unstimulated lymphocytes. DNA polymerase purified from this fraction does not transcribe the heteropolymeric regions of 70S RNA from RNA tumor viruses, thus distinguishing this enzyme from the RNA-directed DNA polymerase (rev...

Gnidilatimonoein from Daphne mucronata inhibits DNA synthesis in human cancer cell lines

The anticancer agents from plant sources usually exert their action through a wide range of mechanisms. As part of our studies of plants for new anticancer agents with emphasis on Thymelaeaceae family, we examined the cytotoxicity and anti-tumor activity of the water extract of D. mucronata leaves against induced breast tumor in rats. In the current study, we were interested to obtain some know...

Reverse transcription of the viral genome associated with the plasma membrane after infection with RNA tumor viruses.

3T3/BALB cells a few hr after MSV infection. No such cytoplasmic DNA synthesis was found in uninfected cells or cells incubated with UV-inactivated virus (8). A study by Dales and Hanafusa (4) suggested that virion-directed DNA transcription and replication occurred in the nuclei of CE cells infected with avian RNA tumor viruses. Bader ( I) and Bader and Bader (2) have published biochemical and...

Actinomycin D effects on nucleic acids during tumor regression.

Early effects of sublethal doses have been compared in sensitive Ridgway osteogenic sarcoma (ROS) and resistant (DMBA) tumors [designation for a spindle cell sarcoma orig inally induced in AKR mice with 7,12-dimethylbenz(o)anthracene] and in small intestine in mice. Doses of actinomycin which were tumoricidal for the sensitive tumor were also toxic to intestinal crypt cells; DNA synthesis, esti...
