Leucemogénesis inducida por M-MuLV: integración y estructura de los provirus recombinantes en tumores

H van der Putten, W Quint, J van Raaij

|June 1, 1981

Resumen

Las sondas de ADN del virus de la leucemia murina de Moloney (M-MuLV) revelan que los tumores contienen M-MuLV y secuencias virales recombinantes. El desarrollo tumoral implica la selección clonal, con estructuras recombinantes específicas que potencialmente predisponen a la neoplasia.

Sus antecedentes:

Se sabe que el virus de la leucemia murina de Moloney (M-MuLV) induce tumores en ratones.
Comprender la integración y la amplificación de las secuencias virales es crucial para la investigación del cáncer.

Objetivo del estudio:

Investigar la integración y amplificación de las secuencias provirales recombinantes en tumores inducidos por M-MuLV.
Para caracterizar los marcadores moleculares de estos virus recombinantes y su papel potencial en la neoplasia.

Principales métodos:

Utilizó sondas de ADN específicas de M-MuLV para analizar el ADN tumoral.
Examinó la integración, la amplificación y la estructura de la secuencia viral en diferentes cepas de ratón.

Principales resultados:

Identificó tanto la auténtica M-MuLV como las secuencias virales recombinantes dentro de los tumores.
Se observó una integración aleatoria en las etapas preleucémicas, seguida de una selección clonal en el crecimiento del tumor.
Se detectaron marcadores moleculares conservados en genomas recombinantes, lo que sugiere que una estructura específica es necesaria para la neoplasia.

Conclusiones:

Los genomas recombinantes de M-MuLV con estructuras específicas, similares a los virus de tipo MCF, se asocian con la neoplasia inducida por M-MuLV.
La selección clonal juega un papel importante en el desarrollo de tumores inducidos por M-MuLV.

Retrovirus Life Cycles

Retrovirus Life Cycles

Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the...

Viral Recombination

Viral Recombination

Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Mechanisms of Retrovirus-induced Cancers

Mechanisms of Retrovirus-induced Cancers

Retroviruses are RNA viruses that have been shown to cause cancers in diverse species, including chickens, mice, cats, and monkeys. The RNA genomes of these viruses are first reverse-transcribed into single and then double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) copies. This dsDNA called proviral DNA then integrates into the host genome. Subsequently, the host cell transcribes the proviral DNA in concert with the chromosomal DNA. This leads to the production of viral RNA and proteins that assemble at the host...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Size and Structure of Viral Genomes

Size and Structure of Viral Genomes

Viral genomes exhibit remarkable diversity in size, structure, and composition, influencing their replication strategies and interactions with host cells. These genomes consist of either DNA or RNA and may be linear or circular. Additionally, they can be single-stranded or double-stranded, with each configuration affecting how the virus propagates within a host. RNA viruses, for instance, generally have smaller genomes than DNA viruses, a factor that contributes to their high mutation rates and...
