Activación de genes de ratón en las células transformadas

M R Scott, K H Westphal, P W Rigby

|September 1, 1983

Resumen

Los investigadores identificaron genes celulares de ratón activados por la transformación del virus simio 40 (SV40). Los genes del Set 1 requieren un gran antígeno T y son activados por varios carcinógenos, mientras que los genes del Set 2 muestran patrones de activación más restringidos.

Área de la Ciencia:

Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
Investigación del cáncer Investigación del cáncer.
Virología Virología.

Sus antecedentes:

La transformación celular inducida por SV40 implica alteraciones en la expresión génica.
La identificación de genes específicos activados durante la transformación es crucial para comprender la oncogénesis.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para aislar y caracterizar los genes celulares de ratón activados durante la transformación SV40.
Para investigar el papel del antígeno T grande SV40 en la activación génica.
Para determinar la especificidad de la activación génica por diferentes agentes transformadores.

Principales métodos:

Técnicas de hibridación molecular.
clonación de ADNc para el aislamiento de genes.
Análisis de transcripciones citoplasmáticas y secuencias genómicas.
Experimentos con líneas celulares transformadas SV40 tsA-mutante.

Principales resultados:

Se identificaron cuatro conjuntos de genes celulares activados.
Las unidades de transcripción del conjunto 1 se activan en todas las células transformadas por SV40, lo que requiere un antígeno T grande funcional.
La activación del conjunto 1 se observa en células transformadas por retrovirus y carcinógenos químicos.
Las unidades de transcripción del conjunto 2 muestran activación restringida, principalmente en SV40 y transformantes retrovirales específicos.

Conclusiones:

La transformación SV40 activa conjuntos específicos de genes celulares.
El antígeno T grande juega un papel clave en la activación de los genes del conjunto 1.
Los patrones de activación génica pueden distinguir entre diferentes agentes transformadores y sus propiedades biológicas.

In-vitro Mutagenesis

In-vitro Mutagenesis

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

Somatic to iPS Cell Reprogramming

Somatic to iPS Cell Reprogramming

Reprogramming alters the gene expression in somatic cells, transforming them into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells over several generations. Scientists can reprogram cells by introducing genes for four transcription factors—Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc (OSKM) by viral or non-viral methods. These factors are also known as Yamanaka factors after Shinya Yamanaka, who first generated iPS cells using mouse skin cells. Yamanaka was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2012...

Chromatin Modification in iPS Cells

Chromatin Modification in iPS Cells

Chromatin modification alters gene expression; therefore, scientists can add histone-modifying enzymes, histone variants, and chromatin remodeling complexes to somatic cells to aid reprogramming into pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.
Compact chromatin makes reprogramming difficult. Enzymes, such as histone demethylases and acetyltransferases, are often added during reprogramming to loosen the chromatin, making the DNA more accessible to transcription factors. Molecules that inhibit histone...

Forced Transdifferentiation

Forced Transdifferentiation

Transdifferentiation, also known as lineage reprogramming, was first discovered by Selman and Kafatos in 1974 in silkmoths. They observed that the moths’ cuticle-producing cells transformed into salt-producing cells. Many such cases of natural transdifferentiation occur in organisms. In humans, pancreatic alpha cells can become beta cells. In newts, the loss of the eye’s lens causes the pigmented epithelial cells to transdifferentiate into the lens cells.

Methods of Nuclear Reprogramming

Methods of Nuclear Reprogramming

Nuclear reprogramming is a process of transforming one cell type into an unrelated cell type by epigenetic changes that alter the cell’s original gene expression pattern. Such epigenetic changes force cells to express a different set of genes, which play a significant role in inducing transformation into other cell types. Nuclear reprogramming offers applications in reproductive cloning for livestock propagation and regenerative medicine — developing patient-specific cells for...
