Dexamethasone Induction of the Intracellular RNAs of Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus

Description : We have studied the kinetics of dexamethasone induction of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) RNAs and proteins in virus-infected rat XC cells and GR mouse mammary tumor cells. A detectable increase in viral RNA in infected XC cells was present within 10 min after hormone addition, and half-maximal in...

Cell-Specific Transduction of Prdm1-Expressing Lineages Mediated by a Receptor for Avian Leukosis Virus Subgroup B▿ †

Description : The transcription factor Blimp-1 has emerged as a regulator of cell fate in embryonic (germ cell) and adult (B- and T-cell immune effector and epithelial) lineages. It has also been proposed to act as a tumor suppressor in B-cell malignancy. Here, we present a novel in vivo system enabling the targe...

Basic fibroblast growth factor induces cell migration and proliferation after glia-specific gene transfer in mice

Description : Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is overexpressed in most high-grade human gliomas, implying that it is involved in the pathogenesis of these tumors. To assess the biological effect of inappropriate production of bFGF in normal astrocytes, we developed a system for glia-specific gene transfer i...

Evolution of somatic mutations in mammary tumors in transgenic mice is influenced by the inherited genotype

Description :

Abstract

Background

MMTV-Wnt1 transgenic mice develop mammary hyperplasia early in development, followed by the appearance of solitary mammary tumors with a high proportion of cells expressing early lineage markers and many myoepithelial cells. The occurrence of tumors is a...

The c-myc and PyMT oncogenes induce different tumor types in a somatic mouse model for pancreatic cancer

Description : We have generated a mouse model for pancreatic cancer through the somatic delivery of oncogene-bearing avian retroviruses to mice that express TVA, the receptor for avian leukosis sarcoma virus subgroup A (ALSV-A), under the control of the elastase promoter. Delivery of ALSV-A-based RCAS vectors enc...

Integration of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Specific for Rous Sarcoma Virus after Infection of Permissive and Nonpermissive Hosts

Description : A relatively simple but stringent technique was developed to detect the integration of virus-specific DNA into the genomes of higher organisms. In both permissive (duck) and nonpermissive (mammalian) cells which normally contain no nucleotide sequences specific for Rous sarcoma virus, transformation...

The Classic: Integration of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Specific for Rous Sarcoma Virus after Infection of Permissive and Nonpermissive Hosts: (RNA tumor viruses/reassociation kinetics/duck cells)

Description : A relatively simple but stringent technique was developed to detect the integration of virus-specific DNA into the genomes of higher organisms. In both permissive (duck) and nonpermissive (mammalian) cells which normally contain no nucleotide sequences specific for Rous sarcoma virus, transformation...

Oncogene cooperation in tumor maintenance and tumor recurrence in mouse mammary tumors induced by Myc and mutant Kras

Description : Most, if not all, cancers are composed of cells in which more than one gene has a cancer-promoting mutation. Although recent evidence has shown the benefits of therapies targeting a single mutant protein, little attention has been given to situations in which experimental tumors are induced by multi...

Use of DNA-DNA Annealing to Detect New Virus-Specific DNA Sequences in Chicken Embryo Fibroblasts After Infection by Avian Sarcoma Virus

Description : Labeled, virus-specific DNA synthesized in vitro by the virion-associated polymerase of avian sarcoma virus (ASV) was used to measure virus-specific sequences in cell DNA in three ways: (i) by determining the effect of cell DNA upon the reassociation rate of double-stranded polymerase products; (ii)...
