Restriction of MMTV by APOBEC3 [PDF]
Background Host cells have developed a broad range of mechanisms to counteract retroviral infection. Besides Trim5a (tripartite motif-containing protein 5alpha) and Tetherin, APOBEC3 proteins (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like 3), especially APOBEC3G and APOBEC3F, are major factors in the post entry inhibition of ...

WNT10B (wingless-type MMTV integration site family) [PDF]
WNT10B is a member of the WNT ligand gene family encoding a secreted growth factor that has been reported to have role in a wide range of biological actions. Wnt10b was originally identified from mouse embryos and the virgin mammary gland, the locus was cloned by retroviral insertional activation, similar to the strategy used to identify other mammary ...

Intestinal Immune System and Amplification of Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus
Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) is a virus that induces breast cancer in mice. During lactation, MMTV can transmit from mother to offspring through milk, and Peyer’s patches (PPs) in mouse intestine are the first and specific target organ.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate the presence of human papillomaviruses (HPV), mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and human polyomavirus BK in canine mammary tumours (CMTs) and to correlate the results of ...

Contribution of the R-Ras2 GTP-binding protein to primary breast tumorigenesis and late-stage metastatic disease [PDF]
R-Ras2 is a transforming GTPase that shares downstream effectors with Ras subfamily proteins. However, little information exists about the function of this protein in tumorigenesis and its signalling overlap with classical Ras GTPases.

Background Although the risk factors for breast cancer are well established, namely female gender, early menarche and late menopause plus the protective influence of early pregnancy, the underlying causes of breast cancer remain unknown.

Tissue Distribution of Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus (MMTV) Antigens and Endogenous MMTV Loci in Japanese Laboratory Mouse Strains [PDF]
The distribution of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) antigens was studied by the immunoper‐oxidase method in the II‐TES and I‐TES mouse strains as well as their progenitors, CS and DBA/2 strains. In the II‐TES, I‐TES and CS strains, and BALB/c mice foster‐nursed with these strains, MMTV antigens were found not only in epithelial cells of the mammary ...

A Protein Antagonist of Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase Encoded by a Complex Mouse Retrovirus
Complex human-pathogenic retroviruses cause high morbidity and mortality worldwide, but resist antiviral drugs and vaccine development due to evasion of the immune response.

MMTV-Wnt1 and -DeltaN89beta-catenin induce canonical signaling in distinct progenitors and differentially activate Hedgehog signaling within mammary tumors. [PDF]
Canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling regulates stem/progenitor cells and, when perturbed, induces many human cancers. A significant proportion of human breast cancer is associated with loss of secreted Wnt antagonists and mice expressing MMTV-Wnt1 and ...
