Stepwise Neoplastic Transformation of a Telomerase Immortalized Fibroblast Cell Line [PDF]
Abstract We have described recently a human fibroblast cell line immortalized through ectopic telomerase expression (cen3tel), in which the extension of the life span was associated with the appearance of chromosomal aberrations and with the ability to grow in the absence of solid support.

Growth hormone in the tumor microenvironment
Tumor development is a multistep process whereby local mechanisms enable somatic mutations during preneoplastic stages. Once a tumor develops, it becomes a complex organ composed of multiple cell types.

Long-term cultivation of two diploid epithelial cell lines derived from normal rat liver cells
To obtain a useful rat liver cell line for in vitro carcinogenesis, two rat diploid epithelial cell lines were established from a 7-day-old male rat by the repeated colonial clone method.

Temporal dissection of K-ras(G12D) mutant in vitro and in vivo using a regulatable K-ras(G12D) mouse allele. [PDF]
Animal models which allow the temporal regulation of gene activities are valuable for dissecting gene function in tumorigenesis. Here we have constructed a conditional inducible estrogen receptor-K-ras(G12D) (ER-K-ras(G12D)) knock-in mice allele that ...

The primary function of intracellular heat shock proteins (HSPs) is to protect the cell by suppressing the effects of various stress factors by either refolding misfolded proteins or blocking apoptosis. After neoplastic transformation, cells overexpress

Basic methodology for cell culture--cell transformation
The word "transformation" is used to describe the permanent acquisition of new characters by cultured cells. Of the many different types of transformation that are known, the best studied is neoplastic transformation.

Identification of genes differentially expressed as result of adenovirus type 5- and adenovirus type 12-transformation [PDF]
Background: Cells transformed by human adenoviruses (Ad) exhibit differential capacities to induce tumours in immunocompetent rodents; for example, Ad12-transformed rodent cells are oncogenic whereas Ad5-transformed cells are not. The E1A gene determines

The hybrid cell line CGL1 is the only cell line which allows quantitation of neoplastic transformation in human cells. Hybrid cells were exposed to 3.4 MeV alpha particles or to mammography X rays (29 kV(p)) and both survival and neoplastic cell ...

Lung adenocarcinoma originates from retrovirus infection of proliferating type 2 pneumocytes during pulmonary post-natal development or tissue repair [PDF]
Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV) is a unique oncogenic virus with distinctive biological properties. JSRV is the only virus causing a naturally occurring lung cancer (ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma, OPA) and possessing a major structural protein that ...
