Production of transgenic animals is an important technique for studying various biological processes. However, whether the integration of a particular transgene occurs randomly in the mouse genome has not been determined. Analysis by fluorescence in situ hybridization of the integration sites of the 142 EGFP (a mutant of green fluorescent protein) transgenic lines that we produced showed that the transgenes had become incorporated into every mouse chromosome. A single integration site was observed in 82.4% of the lines. The concomitant integrations of transgene into two different loci were observed in 15 cases (10.6%). In 3 cases, the transgenic founder mice showed chimerism in integration sites (2.1%). Chromosomal translocation was observed in 7 cases (4.9%). Moreover, when we statistically analyzed the transgene integration sites of these mouse lines, they were shown to distribute unevenly throughout the genome. This is the first report to analyze the transgene integration sites by producing more than 100 transgenic mouse lines. 相似文献

Avian leukosis virus (ALV) infection induces bursal lymphomas in chickens after proviral integration within the c-myc proto-oncogene and induces erythroblastosis after integration within the c-erbB proto-oncogene. A nested PCR assay was used to analyze the appearance of these integrations at an early stage of tumor induction after infection of embryos. Five to eight distinct proviral c-myc integration events were amplified from bursas of infected 35-day-old birds, in good agreement with the number of transformed bursal follicles arising with these integrations. Cells containing these integrations are remarkably common, with an estimated 1 in 350 bursal cells having proviral c-myc integrations. These integrations were clustered within the 3′ half of c-myc intron 1, in a pattern similar to that observed in bursal lymphomas. Bone marrow and spleen showed a similar number and pattern of integrations clustered within 3′ c-myc intron 1, indicating that this region is a common integration target whether or not that tissue undergoes tumor induction. While all tissues showed equivalent levels of viral infection, cells with c-myc integrations were much more abundant in the bursa than in other tissues, indicating that cells with proviral c-myc integrations are preferentially expanded within the bursal environment. Proviral integration within the c-erbB gene was also analyzed, to detect clustered c-erbB intron 14 integrations associated with erythroblastosis. Proviral c-erbB integrations were equally abundant in the bone marrow, spleen, and bursa. These integrations were randomly situated upstream of c-erbB exon 15, indicating that cells carrying 3′ intron 14 integrations must be selected during induction of erythroblastosis. 相似文献

Genome-wide comparison of differences in the integration sites of interspersed repeats between closely related genomes 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0

A technique for genome-wide detection of differences in the integration site positions of interspersed repeats in related genomes (DiffIR) is described. The technique is based on a whole- genome selective PCR amplification of the repeats’ flanking regions followed by a differential hybridization screening of the arrayed library of the selected amplicons. The technique was successfully applied to the comparison of the integration sites in the human and chimpanzee genomes, allowing us to discover 11 new human-specific integrations of human endogenous retrovirus, K family (HML-2) long terminal repeats. 相似文献

Retroviral tagging has been used extensively and successfully to identify genes implicated in cancer pathways. In order to find oncogenes implicated in T-cell leukemia, we used the highly leukemogenic radiation leukemia retrovirus VL3 (RadLV/VL3). We applied the inverted PCR technique to isolate and analyze sequences flanking proviral integrations in RadLV/VL3-induced T lymphomas. We found retroviral integrations in c-myc and Pim1 as already reported but we also identified for the first time Notch1 as a RadLV common integration site. More interestingly, we found a new RadLV common integration site that is situated on mouse chromosome X (XA4 region, bp 45091000). This site has also been reported as an SL3-3 and Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site, which strengthens its implication in murine leukemia virus-induced T lymphomas. This locus, named Kis2 (Kaplan Integration Site 2), was found rearranged in 11% of the tumors analyzed. In this article, we report not only the alteration of the Kis2 gene located nearby in response to RadLV integration but also the induction of the expression of Phf6, situated about 250 kbp from the integration site. The Kis2 gene encodes five different alternatively spliced noncoding RNAs and the Phf6 gene codes for a 365-amino-acid protein which contains two plant homology domain fingers, recently implicated in the B?rjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome in humans. With the recent release of the mouse genome sequence, high-throughput retroviral tagging emerges as a powerful tool in the quest for oncogenes. It also allows the analysis of large DNA regions surrounding the integration locus. 相似文献

The use of a recently developed in vitro model for retroviral integration provides a means of statistically testing hypotheses concerning the distribution of integration sites and hypotheses about the sequence of proviral orientations. In this study, three null hypotheses are formulated and applied to previously published data. Statistical analyses of these data suggest that the distribution of integration sites may not be uniform, and the sequence of proviral orientations is not random. On the basis of these results and the observed clustering of orientations, it was postulated that if a DNA sequence was involved in nonrandom proviral integration, that sequence would be found in the regions where the orientations change direction with respect to the target DNA ("I" regions). Computer analyses for homologous and complementary DNA sequences were performed on all possible pairs of identifiable "I" regions. A common sequence (at least 8 bp in size) was found in three out of four regions and that sequence was absent elsewhere in the target DNA. A model, with features of recombination reminiscent of chi sequences in bacteria, is proposed that may account for these results. 相似文献

Retroviruses induce leukemia in inbred strains of mice by activating cellular proto-oncogenes and/or inactivating tumor suppressors. The proviral integration sites in these leukemias provide powerful genetic tags for disease gene identification. Here we show that Evi24, a common site of retroviral integration in AKXD B cell and BXH-2 myeloid leukemias, contains a novel Dbl family guanine nucleotide exchange factor gene. We have designated this gene Clg (common-site lymphoma/leukemia guanine nucleotide exchange factor). Proviral integrations on chromosome 7 at Evi24 are located 7.6-10.3 kb upstream of Clg and increased Clg expression 2-5-fold compared with leukemias lacking proviral integrations at Evi24. Clg contains Dbl/pleckstrin homology domains with substantial sequence homology to many Rho family activators, including the transforming Dbl and Dbs/Ost oncogenes. Nucleotide exchange assays indicated that Clg specifically activated nucleotide exchange on Cdc42, but not RhoA or Rac1, in vitro. NIH 3T3 transfection studies showed that overexpression of full-length and carboxyl-terminally truncated forms of Clg morphologically transformed NIH 3T3 cells. This study and studies showing that the human homolog of EVI24 is located in a region of 19q13 frequently amplified in B cell lymphomas and pancreatic and breast cancers implicate Clg and Cdc42 activation in mouse and human cancers. 相似文献

Germ line acquisition of ecotropic proviruses occurs at a high frequency in the progeny of SWR/J-RF/J hybrid mice carrying two genetically linked RF/J ecotropic proviral loci, Emv-16 and Emv-17 (N. A. Jenkins and N. G. Copeland, Cell 43:811-819, 1985). To determine if genetic background affects proviral integration frequency, I analyzed a series of crosses in which the two RF/J proviral loci were transferred onto different provirus-negative background strains. Unlike SWR/J-RF/J hybrid progeny, few CBA/CaJ-RF/J hybrid mice were identified that carried new germ line proviral loci. These results indicate that genetic factors other than the linked RF/J proviral loci contribute to the increased frequency of germ line provirus integration seen in the SWR/J-RF/J hybrids. The frequency of proviral acquisition appeared to increase when females carrying Emv-16, Emv-17, and at least one new proviral locus were further backcrossed, suggesting that integration frequency can be increased by genetic manipulation. The breeding data are consistent with the hypothesis that virus from the mother infects the egg or the early embryo. Analysis of the transmission frequency and cosegregation patterns of new proviral loci indicated that viral integration occurs after the first round of DNA replication and before the germ line is set aside during embryogenesis, with a majority of viral integrations occurring at the two-cell stage of development, and independent viral integrations can occur in the same or in different cells of the embryo. 相似文献

Mapping of recombinant retrovirus integration sites that cause expression of the viral genome in murine embryonal carcinoma cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Murine embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells do not normally express Moloney murine leukemia virus genes. Earlier, rare EC cell lines were isolated that expressed proviral neomycin resistance (neo) gene. This expression was dependent on cellular enhancer or promoter sequences that flank the proviral integration site. Four such integration sites, designated as Mint (for Moloney murine leukemia virus integration and expression sites in EC cells), have been mapped on mouse chromosomes. Minta, Mintb, Mintc and Mintd are unlinked and mapped on different chromosomes (Chr), Chr 10, Chr 1, Chr 5 and the X Chr, respectively. None of these loci appear to be linded to any known Mo-MuLV proviral integration sites previously mapped. These enhancer and promoter loci may represent a new set of genes active in undifferentiated embryonic cells.The terminology for Mint genes has been discussed with and approved by the International Committee on Standard Genetic Nomenclature for Mice (M.T. Davisson, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Me.). 相似文献

Seven cellular loci with acceptor sites for retroviral integrations have been mapped for the presence of DNase I-hypersensitive sites in chromatin. Integrations in three of these loci, chicken c-erbB, rat c-myc, and a rat locus, dsi-1, had been selected for in retrovirus-induced tumors. Of the remaining four, two, designated dsi-3 and dsi-4, harbored acceptor sites for apparently unselected integrations of Moloney murine leukemia virus in a Moloney murine leukemia virus-induced thymoma, and two, designated C and F, harbored unselected acceptor sites for Moloney murine leukemia virus integrations in a rat fibroblast cell line. Each acceptor site mapped to within 500 base pairs of a DNase I-hypersensitive site. In the analyses of the unselected integrations, six hypersensitive sites were observed in 39 kilobases of DNA. The four acceptor sites in this DNA were localized between 0.05 and 0.43 kilobases of a hypersensitive site. The probability of this close association occurring by chance was calculated to be extremely low. Hypersensitive sites were mapped in cells representing the lineage in which integration had occurred as well as in an unrelated lineage. In six of the seven acceptor loci hypersensitive sites could not be detected in the unrelated lineage. Our results indicate that retroviruses preferentially integrate close to DNase I-hypersensitive sites and that many of these sites are expressed in some but not all cells. 相似文献

Infecting mice with a mutant Moloney murine leukemia virus which contains the bacterial suppressor tRNA supF in its LTR allows rapid cloning of proviral integration sites from genomic tumour DNA. In a previous study Emu pim-1/Emu L-myc bitransgenic mice had been inoculated neonatally with MoMuLV supF virus. The retroviral infection led to acceleration of lymphomagenesis indicating the proviral activation of further oncogenes cooperating with myc and pim-1 in tumour development. Using a functional supF screen for analysis of genomic mouse tumour DNA libraries which had been constructed in the phage vector EMBL3A, a common proviral integration site on mouse chromosome 5 was cloned and found to be identical to the proviral integration site evi-5 which has recently been identified in an AKXD T-cell lymphoma and which is located 18 kb upstream of the gfi-1 gene. Tumours bearing evi-5 integrations showed an enhanced gfi-1 expression level suggesting that gfi-1 is the target gene for insertions at the evi-5 locus. Together with three other previously described Moloney integration clusters all responsible for enhanced gfi-1 expression the number of tumours from infected double transgenic Emu L-myc/Emu pim-1 transgenic mice with retrovirally activated gfi-1 added up to 53% underscoring the role of GFI-1 as an effective collaborator for MYC and PIM-1 in the process of lymphomagenesis. 相似文献

A new common region of virus integration, Evi11, has been identified in two retrovirally induced murine myeloid leukemia cell lines, NFS107 and NFS78. By interspecific backcross analysis, it was shown that Evi11 is located at the distal end of mouse chromosome 4, in a region that shows homology with human 1p36. The genes encoding the peripheral cannabinoid receptor (Cnr2) and alpha-L-fucosidase (Fuca1) were identified near the integration site by using a novel exon trapping system. Cnr2 is suggested to be the target gene for viral interference in Evi11, since proviruses are integrated in the first intron of Cnr2 and retroviral integrations alter mRNA expression of Cnr2 in NFS107 and NFS78. In addition, proviral integrations were demonstrated within the 3' untranslated region of Cnr2 in five independent newly derived CasBrM-MuLV (mouse murine leukemia virus) tumors, CSL13, CSL14, CSL16, CSL27, and CSL97. The Cnr2 gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor which is normally expressed in hematopoietic tissues. Our data suggest that the peripheral cannabinoid receptor gene might be involved in leukemogenesis as a result of aberrant expression of Cnr2 due to retroviral integration in Evi11. 相似文献

The cellular sites of integration of avian sarcoma virus (ASV) have been examined in clones of duck embryo cells infected with the Bratislava 77 strain of ASV using restriction endonuclease digestion, agarose gel electrophoresis, Southern blotting, and hybridization with labeled ASV complementary DNA probes. DNA prepared from 11 clones of duck embryo cells infected with the Bratislava 77 strain of ASV was digested with the restriction enzymes HpaI, which cleaves once within the viral genome, and Hind III, which cleaves twice within the viral genome, and the virus-cell DNA juncture fragments were resolved by agarose gel electrophoresis. Analysis of the virus-cell junctures present in individual ASV-infected duck embryo clones revealed that all clones contain at least one copy of nondefective proviral DNA with some clones containing as many as 5 to 6 copies of proviral DNA. A comparison of the virus-cell juncture fragments present in different ASV-infected clones showed that each clone contains a unique set of virus-cell junctures. These data suggest that ASV DNA can integrate at multiple sites within the duck embryo cell genome and that these sites appear to be different as defined by digestion with the restriction enzymes HpaI and HindIII. 相似文献
