Expression of the pRb-binding regions of E1A enables efficient transformation of primary epithelial cells by v-src

Abstract

Primary cultures of rat embryo fibroblasts have been shown to be resistant to transformation by dominant oncogenes such as v-src. We sought to determine if similar resistance is displayed by primary epithelial cells, and, if so, whether an immortalizing oncogene such as E1A could enhance transformation of primary epithelial cells by v-src. Transformation of primary rat epithelial cells by v-src was synergistically enhanced when E1A expression plasmids were cotransfected with a v-src expression plasmid. Foci were more numerous and observed earlier (9 to 14 days) with E1A plus v-src than with v-src alone (18 to 28 days). This cotransformation ability was abrogated by deletions in CR1 or CR2 of E1A, which encode the binding regions for the pRb family and are responsible for E1A-mediated cell cycle activation. Mutations in the p300 binding site or the second exon, which abolish immortalization, did not affect v-src cooperation, in contrast to ras and adenovirus E1B. While kinase activation was required for growth in soft agar, differential activation of Src kinase did not correlate with transformation efficiency. Cell morphology and actin structures were not dramatically impacted by E1A expression; thus, hypertransformation, as pre...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
