To investigate the functional relationship between the ability of the adenovirus-5 E1A oncogene product to transform with its ability to block adipocytic differentiation and induce apoptosis, we expressed E1A in the 3T3 L1 preadipocytic cell line. The results demonstrate a dramatic, quantitative reciprocal regulation of differentiation and several transformation-associated properties in response to graded levels of E1A expression, with the suppression of differentiative capacity, focus formation, and anchorage-independent proliferation requiring increasing levels of E1A. Progressively higher E1A levels were accompanied by apoptosis induction. The effect of E1A upon adipocytic differentiation as well as transformation and apoptosis required binding to the retinoblastoma-susceptibility gene product. These data reveal a dissociation between E1A signals leading to transformation, suppression of differentiation and induction of apoptosis, based on levels of expression.

DNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas systems are able to cleave dsDNA in mammalian cells. Accordingly, they have been employed to target the genomes of dsDNA viruses, mostly when present in cells in a non-replicative state with low copy numbers. However, the sheer amount of viral DNA produced within a very short time by certain lytically replicating viruses potentially brings the capacities of CRISPR-Cas systems to their limits.

HEK293 cells are one of the most widely used cell lines in research, and HEK293 cells are frequently used as an in vitro model for studying the WNT signaling pathway. The HEK293 cell line was originally established by transfection of human embryonic kidney cells with sheared adenovirus 5 DNA, and it is known that that HEK293 cells stably express the adenoviral E1A and E1B-55k proteins. Here, we show that HEK293 cells display an unexpected distribution of key components of the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway where AXIN1, APC, DVL2 and tankyrase are all co-localized in large spherical cytoplasmic aggregates.

AXL which is a chemosensitizer protein for breast cancer cells in response to epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor and suppresses tumor growth. The clinical information show nuclear factor I (NFI)-C and NFI-X expression correlate with AXL expression in breast cancer patients. Following, we establish serial deletions of AXL promoter to identify regions required for Adenovirus-5 early region 1A (E1A)-mediated AXL suppression.

Adenovirus infections tend to be mild, but they may pose a serious threat for young and immunocompromised individuals. The treatment is complicated because there are no approved safe and specific drugs for adenovirus infections. Here, we present evidence that 17-(Allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), an inhibitor of Hsp90 chaperone, decreases the rate of human adenovirus 5 (HAdV-5) replication in cell cultures by 95%.

Human adenovirus (HAdV) is used extensively as a vector for gene delivery for a variety of purposes, including gene therapy and vaccine development. Most adenoviral vectors used for these approaches have a deletion of early region 1 (E1), which is complemented by the cell line. Most commonly, these are 293 cells for HAdV serotype 2 or 5.
