PR2257 is a new replication-defective avian sarcoma virus which harbours in addition to the spliced version of the c-src gene also about 950 bp of no-coding cellular sequences located downstream from the c-src stop codon (Geryk et al., 1989). Comparison of the 950 bp region transduced by PR2257 with the chicken c-src cDNA (Dorai et al., 1991) and genomic sequences of the c-src 3' non-coding region from chicken and quail has shown that there are no additional introns. The c-src 3' non-coding region represents the largest c-src exon (No. 12) comprising about 2 kb. Absence of conserved open reading frames within this region in chicken and quail genomic DNAs excludes the possibility for coding a protein by these sequences. Also, the possibility was excluded that numerous endogenous virus-derived sequences identified in molecularly cloned PR2257 provirus played a role in the c-src transduction. After serial passaging of PR2257 virus in vivo a variant PR2257/16 was isolated. In PR2257/16, the size of the env gene was increased due to homologous recombination with a helper virus. In addition to mutations in the viral leader and the v-src coding region, a large deletion in transduced c-src 3' non-coding sequences was found in the PR2257/16 genome. The significance of genome modifications for selective advantage of this viral variant in vivo is discussed.

Chemotherapy resistance and treatment failure hinder clinical cancer treatment. Src, the first mammalian proto-oncogene to be discovered, is a valuable anti-cancer therapeutic target. Although several c-Src inhibitors have reached the clinical stage, drug resistance remains a challenge during treatment.

Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous group of human cancer with distinct genetic, biological and clinicopathological features. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive and metastatic type of breast cancer and associated with poor patient survival. However, the role of UV Radiation Resistance-Associated Gene (UVRAG) in TNBC remains unknown.

The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in osmotic stress, dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and cyclic stretch-induced tight junction (TJ) disruption was investigated in Caco-2 cell monolayers and restraint stress-induced barrier dysfunction in mouse colon Live cell imaging showed that osmotic stress, cyclic stretch and DSS triggered rapid production of ROS in Caco-2 cell monolayers, which was blocked by depletion of intracellular Ca by 1,2-bis-(-aminophenoxy)ethane-,,','-tetraacetic acid. Knockdown of Ca1.3 or TRPV6 channels blocked osmotic stress and DSS-induced ROS production and attenuated TJ disruption and barrier dysfunction.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play a mostly post-transcriptional regulatory role in gene expression. Using RAW264.7 pre-osteoclast cells and genome-wide expression analysis, we identified a set of miRNAs that are involved in osteoclastogenesis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that interfere with translation of specific target mRNAs and thereby regulate diverse biological processes. Recent studies have suggested that miRNAs might have a role in osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. Here, we show that miR-542-3p, a well-characterized tumor suppressor whose downregulation is tightly associated with tumor progression via C-src-related oncogenic pathways, inhibits osteoblast proliferation and differentiation.
