TLDR
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.Abstract:
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, both of which cell lines and their precursor cell lines are disclosed. Because of the advantages over stable packaging cell lines, the BOSC 23 and CAK 8 transient transfection systems greatly facilitate and extend the use of helper-free retroviral vectors. The cell lines and corresponding methods possess wide application in both the medical and biotechnical fields, including gene therapy. These potential applications are disclosed and illustrated.read more

Ovol1 regulates the growth arrest of embryonic epidermal progenitor cells and represses c-myc transcription
TL;DR: It is indicated that Ovol1 is required for proliferation exit of committed epidermal progenitor cells and c-myc is identified as an Ovol 1 target and molecular evidence that c- myc expression is up-regulated in OVol1-deficient suprabasal cells is presented.

HIV-1 Vpu Antagonism of Tetherin Inhibits Antibody-Dependent Cellular Cytotoxic Responses by Natural Killer Cells
Raymond A. Alvarez,Rebecca E. Hamlin,Anthony Monroe,Brian Moldt,Mathew T. Hotta,Gabriela Rodriguez Caprio,Daniel S. Fierer,Viviana Simon,Benjamin K. Chen +8 more
TL;DR: This study supports the hypothesis that a major function of Vpu is to decrease the recognition of infected cells by anti-HIV antibodies at the cell surface, thereby reducing recognition by antibody-dependent clearance by natural killer cells.

Cooperative Regulation of the Cell Division Cycle by the Protein Kinases RAF and AKT
Amer M. Mirza,Stephan Gysin,Nisar P. Malek,Keiichi I. Nakayama,James M. Roberts,Martin McMahon +5 more
TL;DR: Cumulatively, these data strongly suggest that the RAF→MEK→ERK and PI3′K→PDK→AKT signaling pathways can cooperate to promote G0→G1→S-phase cell cycle progression in both normal and cancer cells.

Characterization of Insulin-Responsive GLUT4 Storage Vesicles Isolated from 3T3-L1 Adipocytes
TL;DR: The results indicate that in insulin-sensitive cells GLUT4 is targeted to a subpopulation of vesicles that appear, based on their protein composition, to be a derivative of the endosome.

Endoglin Controls Cell Migration and Composition of Focal Adhesions: FUNCTION OF THE CYTOSOLIC DOMAIN
Barbara A. Conley,Rositsa I. Koleva,Joshua D. Smith,Doreen Kacer,Dongwang Zhang,Carmelo Bernabeu,Carmelo Bernabeu,Calvin P.H. Vary +7 more
TL;DR: A novel mechanism of endoglin function is suggested involving its interaction with LIM domain-containing proteins, and associated adapter proteins, affecting sites of focal adhesion.

Characteristics of a Human Cell Line Transformed by DNA from Human Adenovirus Type 5
TL;DR: Human embryonic kidney cells have been transformed by exposing cells to sheared fragments of adenovirus type 5 DNA, and the transformed cells exhibited many of the characteristics of transformation including the elaboration of a virus-specific tumour antigen.

Vaccination with Irradiated Tumor Cells Engineered to Secrete Murine Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor Stimulates Potent, Specific, and Long-Lasting Anti-Tumor Immunity
Glenn Dranoff,Elizabeth M. Jaffee,Audrey J. Lazenby,Paul Golumbek,Hyam I. Levitsky,Katja Brose,Valerie Jackson,Hirofumi Hamada,Drew M. Pardoll,Richard C. Mulligan +9 more
TL;DR: The results have important implications for the clinical use of genetically modified tumor cells as therapeutic cancer vaccines and the levels of anti-tumor immunity reported previously in cytokine gene transfer studies involving live, transduced cells could be achieved through the use of irradiated cells alone.

Induction of chronic myelogenous leukemia in mice by the P210bcr/abl gene of the Philadelphia chromosome
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that P210bcr/abl expression can induce chronic myelogenous leukemia and retrovirus-mediated expression of the protein provides a murine model system for further analysis of the disease.

The Basic Science of Gene Therapy
TL;DR: A large number of key technical issues need to be resolved before gene therapy can be safely and effectively applied in the clinic, and future technological developments will be critical for the successful practice of gene therapy.

Improved Retroviral Vectors for Gene Transfer and Expression
A D Miller,G J Rosman +1 more
TL;DR: A set of murine retrovirus-based vectors that include unique cloning sites for insertion of cDNAs such that the cDNA can be driven by either the retroviral long terminal repeat, the immediate early promoter of human cytomegalovirus, or the simian virus 40 early promoter are described.
