Transformation of Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells by Infection with SV40 or Adenovirus-12 SV40 Hybrid Virus, or Transfection via Strontium Phosphate Coprecipitation with a Plasmid Containing SV40 Early Region Genes

TL;DR: Normal human bronchial epithelial cells were infected with SV40 virus or an adenovirus 12-SV40 hybrid virus, or transfected via strontium phosphate coprecipitation with plasmids containing the SV40 early region genes, and Colonies of morphologically altered cells were isolated and cultured.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations and altered expression of p16INK4 in human cancer

TL;DR: Results are consistent with the hypothesis that p16INK4 is a tumor-suppressor protein and that genetic and epigenetic abnormalities in genes controlling the G1 checkpoint can lead to both escape from senescence and cancer formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes.

TL;DR: In addition to studying the pathogenic role of oncogenes, this work is attempting to define negative growth-regulating genes that have tumor-suppressive effects for human lung carcinomas, and involves loss of heterozygosity studies, monochromosome- cell fusion, and cell-cell fusion studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human bronchial epithelial cells with integrated SV40 virus T antigen genes retain the ability to undergo squamous differentiation

TL;DR: Two phenotypically different subclones provide a new in vitro cellular system for delineating the mechanism(s) of human bronchial epithelial cell squamous differentiation in response to FBS or TGF-beta 1.
Journal Article

Comparison of Production of Transforming Growth Factor-β and Platelet-derived Growth Factor by Normal Human Mesothelial Cells and Mesothelioma Cell Lines

TL;DR: PDGF-like mitogenic activity was readily detectable in medium conditioned by a mesothelioma cell line and was undetectable in conditioned medium from normal cells, suggesting the hypothesis that PDGF may be an autocrine growth factor in mesothelialioma.
