Expression of endogenous murine leukemia virus in transplantable tumor cells and DNA methylation of the viral sequences.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A cell line derived from early passage of a transplantable tumor in athymic mice that initially had been injected with human breast adenocarcinoma cells produced a substantial amount of RNA sequences related to the Kirsten murine leukemia virus. The cell line derived from later passage of transplantation of these tumors diminished viral RNA production. Expression of the viral RNA sequences in these cell lines is inversely correlated with the level of viral DNA methylation in the mouse genome.

An Endogenous Immune Adjuvant Released by Necrotic Cells for Enhancement of DNA Vaccine Potency
Background: Improving vaccine potency in the induction of a strong cell-mediated cytotoxicity can enhance the efficacy of vaccines. Necrotic cells and the supernatant of necrotic tumor cells are attractive adjuvants, on account of their ability to recruit antigen-presenting cells to the site of antigen synthesis as well as its ability to stimulate the maturation of dendritic cells. Objective: T...
متن کاملDNA Methylation and the Expression of the Tumor-Suppressor Genes Protocadherin-10 and Reprimo in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most prevalent hematologic malignancy among children. DNA methylation is well known to play a role in the initiation and progression of cancer. This research aimed to characterize the epigenetic inactivation and gene expression of Protocadherin-10 (PCDH10) and Reprimo (RPRM) in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which is associated with...
متن کاملMethylation Status of SOX17 and RUNX3 Genes in Acute Leukemia
Background: Several studies have examined the presence of DNA methylation of CpG islands in leukemia. Methylation of SOX17 and RUNX3 genes may play a role in leukemogenesis through silencing tumor suppressor genes. We investigated the methylation status of SOX17 and RUNX3 genes in patients with acute leukemia. Methods: In this case-control study, peripheral blood samples from 100 AML and 10...

Ovine leukemia/lymphoma resulting from bovine leukemia virus infection of sheep offers a large animal model for studying mechanisms underlying leukemogenesis. Silencing of viral information including Tax, the major contributor to the oncogenic potential of the virus, is critical if not mandatory for tumor progression. In this study, we have identified epigenetic mechanisms that govern the compl...
متن کاملDistribution of endogenous murine leukemia virus DNA sequences among mouse chromosomes.
We used mouse-Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids which lose mouse chromosomes to examine the distribution of murine leukemia virus DNA sequences in the genome of A/HeJ mice. We analyzed total cellular DNA from various hybrid clones for the presence of viral sequences by molecular hybridization and used the Southern blot hybridization procedure to identify viral DNA in cellular restriction end...
