In Vivo Gene Delivery and Stable Transduction of Nondividing Cells by a Lentiviral Vector

TLDR
The ability of HIV-based viral vectors to deliver genes in vivo into nondividing cells could increase the applicability of retroviral vectors in human gene therapy.
Abstract
A retroviral vector system based on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was developed that, in contrast to a murine leukemia virus-based counterpart, transduced heterologous sequences into HeLa cells and rat fibroblasts blocked in the cell cycle, as well as into human primary macrophages. Additionally, the HIV vector could mediate stable in vivo gene transfer into terminally differentiated neurons. The ability of HIV-based viral vectors to deliver genes in vivo into nondividing cells could increase the applicability of retroviral vectors in human gene therapy.

The landscape of somatic copy-number alteration across human cancers

Rameen Beroukhim, +86 more
- 18 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cancer cells containing amplifications surrounding the MCL1 and BCL2L1 anti-apoptotic genes depend on the expression of these genes for survival, and a large majority of SCNAs identified in individual cancer types are present in several cancer types.

A Third-Generation Lentivirus Vector with a Conditional Packaging System

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the requirement for the tat gene can be offset by placing constitutive promoters upstream of the vector transcript, and the improved design presented here should facilitate testing of lentivirus vectors.

Suppression of TNF-α-Induced Apoptosis by NF-κB

TL;DR: In this paper, the sensitivity and kinetics of TNF-α-induced apoptosis were shown to be enhanced in a number of cell types expressing a dominant negative IkappaBalpha (Ikappa-BalphaM).

T Cells with Chimeric Antigen Receptors Have Potent Antitumor Effects and Can Establish Memory in Patients with Advanced Leukemia

TL;DR: It is reported that CAR T cells that target CD19 and contain a costimulatory domain from CD137 and the T cell receptor ζ chain have potent non–cross-resistant clinical activity after infusion in three of three patients treated with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

A mammalian cell cycle checkpoint pathway utilizing p53 and GADD45 is defective in ataxia-telangiectasia

TL;DR: Three participants are identified (AT gene(s), p53, and GADD45) in a signal transduction pathway that controls cell cycle arrest following DNA damage; abnormalities in this pathway probably contribute to tumor development.

Production of high titer helper-free retroviruses by transient transfection

TL;DR: In this article, a method for producing high-titer, helper-free infectious retroviruses is disclosed which employs a novel strategy that uses transient transfection of new retroviral producer cell lines, ecotropic line BOSC 23 and amphotropic line CAK 8.

NeuN, a neuronal specific nuclear protein in vertebrates.

TL;DR: The expression of NeuN is observed in most neuronal cell types throughout the nervous system of adult mice, but some major cell types appear devoid of immunoreactivity including cerebellar Purkinje cells, olfactory bulb mitral cells, and retinal photoreceptor cells.
