TL;DR: Patterns of coordinated expression of critical cell growth-regulating genes are consistently associated with specific tumor types and suggest that Cas-Br-E can induce two types of hematopoietic neoplasias by different mechanisms.
Abstract: The Cas-Br-E murine leukemia virus is a non-defective retrovirus that induces non-T-, non-B-cell leukemias in susceptible NIH/Swiss mice. A collection of tumors was examined for genomic DNA structure and RNA expression of known or putative proto-oncogenes and one tumor-suppresor gene, with the aim of identifying genes involved in Cas-Br-E-induced non-T-, non-B-cell leukemogenesis. Fli-1, p53, and Evi-1 were found to be rearranged in 72%, 23%, and 18% of the tumors, respectively, whereas no DNA alteration were detected for c-myc, c-myb, Pim-1, Evi-2, EpoR genes
