This viral particle contains a neomycin-resistant gene and a 1.53-kb antisense RNA spanning the 2nd exon and its flanking sequences of the human c-myc oncogene. The G418-resistant EC8712 clones showed an 86% inhibition of growth rate and morphological changes characteristic of terminal differentiation and apoptosis. A decrease of about 80% of Myc protein was also observed in these infected cells by ABC-ELISA assay. 12-24 h after the infection of ECS712 cells with pA-BD9 at a high viral particle concentration (MOI = 1:10), the integration of the extrinsic 1.53-kb antisense c-myc fragment into the cancer cell genome was evidenced by the Southern blot analysis. Northern blot analyses showed the expression of this antisense fragment and a decrease of the intrinsic c-myc expression by 74% in comparison with that of the parental EC8712 cells. Heterotransplants of the infected EC8712 cells into the nude mice revealed a substantial decrease in tumorigemcity and morphological changes characteristic of terminal differentiation and apoptosis. Primary monolayer cell cultures of normal epithelia derived from the fetal and adult esophagus mucosa were set as controls. No noticeable increase in c-myc expression was found in these cultures Infection of these cells with the same recombinant viral particles neither affected the growth rate of the cells nor their normal morphology. Our experiments indicate that the drastic decrease of the over-expressed Myc protein in cancer cells may also be an entrance to one of many pathways leading to the terminal differentiation and programmed cell death.","PeriodicalId":21648,"journal":{"name":"Science in China.

OPPV was purified with a 10%-sucrose cushion and then with 20%-55% discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The structural proteins and antigen compositions of OPPV were analysed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Besides, the OPP proviral cDNAs of the virus-infected cell cultures and the peripheral blood monocytes from sheep infected by the virus were detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results show that the CPE of sheep foetal lung cells infected by OPPV is typical of the disease. The purified virions are intact and of high purity when observed with an electron microscope. OPPV proteins consist of 18 polypeptide bands and the molecular weights range from 18 to 120 kd. Among these, 3 were glycoproteins (designated by gp120, gp50 and gp47). The appearance and peak time of the p28 antibody from sheep inoculated with OPPV are earlier than those of the p94 antibody to OPPV. Besides, the strength of immune reaction of p28 antibody is greater than that of p94 antibody. With PCR, it is demonstrated that the initial time for OPP proviral cDNAs to be integrated into the sheep foetal lung cells and the peripheral blood monocytes in sheep were 24 h and 9 d after inoculation, respectively.","PeriodicalId":21648,"journal":{"name":"Science in China.
