Abstract

Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) was first described in 2008 (1) as a new human virus associated with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), an uncommon but aggressive form of skin cancer. Subsequent [...]

30. Loss of T-antigen sequences allows SV40-transformed human cells in crisis to acquire a senescent-like phenotype

Abstract

Normal human cells transfected with SV40 DNA exhibit an extended proliferative potential compared with controls, but they eventually enter a phase known as 'crisis.' During crisis, extensive cell death occurs and the cells exhibit some gene expression changes similar to senescent cells. This article presents results which indicate that crisis most likely depends on expression of the viral gene T-antigen. We have obtained a unique subpopulation of cells that have deleted the T-antigen gene and, rather than dying as cells do in crisis, remain viable and exhibit some senescent-like characteristics. We also found that the SV40 promoter is poorly expressed in senescent versus young cells. We hypothesize that decreased activity of the viral promoter may result in decreased expression of T-antigen, which is challenged by over-expression of the cell cycle inhibitors such as [p21.sup.Sdi1]. Conflicting signals to proceed/halt cell cycle progression result in the cell death associated with crisis.

31. Apolipoprotein B gene regulatory factor-2 (BRF-2) is structurally and immunologically highly related to hepatitis B virus X associated protein-1 (XAP-1)

Abstract

The apoB gene regulatory factor-2 (BRF-2) was documented by high-performance liquid chromatography to exist in two isoforms, of which the amino acid sequence of the homo-oligomer (BRF-2D) form was found homologous to the hepatitis B virus X associated protein-1 (XAP-1) sequence. The monomoeric form (BRF-FM), however, did not exhibit any sequence specificity. BRF-2 was also found structurally and immunologically related to XAP-1, based on the results of Western Blotting. Thus, the two are considered highly related trans-activators of the apoB gene.

Abstract

Ependymomas or choroid plexus tumors, two different types of brain tumors that occur in young children, may be caused by simian virus 40 (SV40), the monkey polyomavirus, or a related virus. The DNA (gene) sequence of tumors from 31 children, 20 with choroid plexus tumors and 11 with ependymomas, was analyzed and compared to the T antigen gene of the SV40 virus and the BK and JC viruses, two types of polyomavirus that occur in humans. Ten of the choroid plexus tumors and 10 of the ependymomas contained DNA sequences that were similar to segments of the T antigen gene of the SV40 virus, but not the BK or JC virus. The DNA sequence of two of these specimens was identical to a portion of the T antigen gene of the SV40 virus. Three of the specimens that were similar to the SV40 virus contained the 574-bp segment of the T antigen gene of the SV40 virus. Special stains revealed that seven of 11 tumor samples contained the T antigen of the SV40 virus.
