RNA oncovirus expression in N-methyl-n-nitrosourea-induced lymphomas in mice. 1981

A Pintér, and M Börzsönyi

RNA oncovirus expression was investigated in thymic lymphomas induced by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) in (C57BL/6 x DBA/2)F1(BDF1) mice. Out of 15 newborn mice injected with 20 mg/kg MNU, five developed thymic tumours to T-cell origin. Virus production of thymic cells from tumorous and normal animals was studied by an infectious center assay. All five tumours released ecotropic (mouse tropic) virus. No xenotropic or dual-tropic mink cell focus-inducing virus was found. No virus was obtained from thymus cells taken from six normal mice killed between 83 and 124 days; however, an ecotropic virus was cultured from the thymus of a 134-day-old normal mouse. According to these results, the MNU-induced thymic lymphoma development in BDF1 mice is accompanied by activation of endogenous ecotropic virus, whereas spontaneous activation also occurs in older mice.

D012190 Retroviridae Family of RNA viruses that infects birds and mammals and encodes the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The family contains seven genera: DELTARETROVIRUS; LENTIVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE B, MAMMALIAN; ALPHARETROVIRUS; GAMMARETROVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE D; and SPUMAVIRUS. A key feature of retrovirus biology is the synthesis of a DNA copy of the genome which is integrated into cellular DNA. After integration it is sometimes not expressed but maintained in a latent state (PROVIRUSES).

D013950 Thymus Gland A single, unpaired primary lymphoid organ situated in the MEDIASTINUM, extending superiorly into the neck to the lower edge of the THYROID GLAND and inferiorly to the fourth costal cartilage. It is necessary for normal development of immunologic function early in life. By puberty, it begins to involute and much of the tissue is replaced by fat.

D014775 Virus Activation The mechanism by which latent viruses, such as genetically transmitted tumor viruses (PROVIRUSES) or PROPHAGES of lysogenic bacteria, are induced to replicate and then released as infectious viruses. It may be effected by various endogenous and exogenous stimuli, including B-cell LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDES, glucocorticoid hormones, halogenated pyrimidines, IONIZING RADIATION, ultraviolet light, and superinfecting viruses.
