Tumors induced in chickens by Rous sarcoma virus remain localized at the site of injection even though the animals become viremic. Tumors have now been shown to be inducible at other sites if a wound is inflicted or if the tissue is injured by administration of tumor promoters. These findings indicate that local wounding plays a role in the spread of tumorigenicity of Rous sarcoma virus.

The Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) is an onco-retrovirus that infects avian species such as the chicken (Gallus gallus). RSV is the first oncovirus to be described, and the oncogenic activity of this virus is related to the expression of a tyrosine kinase that induces carcinogenic transformation. Interestingly, we have noted that the RSV genome contains various potential G4-forming sequences.

A crucial yet poorly understood step in the replication cycle is the recognition and selection of unspliced viral RNA (USvRNA) by the retroviral Gag protein, which binds to the psi (Ψ) packaging sequence in the 5' leader, to package it as genomic RNA (gRNA) into nascent virions. It was previously thought that Gag initially bound gRNA in the cytoplasm.

Serine 31 is a phospho-site unique to the histone H3.3 variant; mitotic phospho-Ser31 is restricted to pericentromeric heterochromatin, and disruption of phospho-Ser31 results in chromosome segregation defects and loss of p53-dependant G cell-cycle arrest. Ser31 is proximal to the H3.

Background: One reason for local recurrence is the presence of positive surgical margins after tumor resection. An animal model accurately representing the microtumor burden will improve our understanding of these surgical margins. Using a rat model, we report a new methodology for creating microscopic tumors.
