Control of Adenovirus Gene Expression: Cellular Gene Products Restrict Expression of Adenovirus Host Range Mutants in Nonpermissive Cells

Adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) host range mutants dl312 and hr-1, with lesions in region E1A (0 to 4.5 map units) of the viral genome, fail to accumulate virus-specific early RNA during infection in HeLa cells. In a recent report, we showed that the addition of anisomycin, a stringent inhibitor of protein synthesis, at 1 h after infection of HeLa cells with hr-1 virus resulted in the accumulation of properly spliced and translatable mRNA from all early regions (M. G. Katze, H. Persson, and L. Philipson, Mol. Cell. Biol. 1:807-813, 1981). Based on these results we proposed a model in which expression of early mutant RNA was achieved through inactivation of a cellular protein normally causing a reduction in the amount of viral RNA. These studies have been extended in the present report, which shows that early viral proteins can be detected in Ad5 dl312- and Ad5 hr-1-infected HeLa cells which have been treated for several hours with anisomycin either shortly after infection or before infection. A pulse of drug treatment also resulted in expression of substantial amounts of adenovirus structural proteins after infection with both Ad5 hr-1 and Ad5 dl312, whereas in drug-free controls no late proteins were detected. The Ad5 hr-1 virus previously reported to be DNA replication negative in nonpermissive HeLa cells was found to replicate its DNA, albeit at low levels, when anisomycin was present either from 1 to 5 h postinfection or for 5 h before infection. When infectious virus production was examined in mutant-infected cells the titer of Ad5 dl312 virus was found to increase at least 500-fold in anisomycin-treated HeLa cells. Taken together, these and our previous results suggest that the block in gene expression characteristic for complementation group I Ad5 host range mutants in HeLa cells can be overcome by inactivating cellular gene products serving as negative regulators of viral gene expression.

Expression of the Neuron-Specific Enolase Gene by Rat Oligodendroglial Cells During Their Differentiation

Abstract: We have examined the regulation of neuron-specific γ-enolase gene (NSE) expression in oligodendrocytes at various steps of their differentiation/maturation. We have demonstrated for the first time that NSE is expressed in oligodendroglial cells in vitro and in vivo, and only at a certain stage of differentiation. A heterogeneity of the γ subunit was observed in cultured oligodendrocytes and the same one was found in adult rat brain. The level of γ mRNA increased when precursor cells differentiated into oligodendrocytes. By contrast, no significant change in α-enolase gene expression was observed. High NSE (γγ and αγ) enolase activity was detected in cultured oligodendrocytes. Treatment with basic fibroblast growth factor, which stimulates the proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells and reversibly blocks their differentiation, resulted in lower αγ- and γγ-enolase activities in these cells, but it enhanced αα-enolase activity slightly. These data indicate that γ-enolase gene expression is associated with the differentiation of the oligodendrocytes and that it is repressed in adult fully mature cells.     

Temporal and Spatial Expression of Hoxa-2 During Murine Palatogenesis

1. Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation of the Hoxa-2 gene are born with a bilateral cleft of the secondary palate associated with multiple head and cranial anomalies and these animals die within 24 hr of birth (Gendron-Maguire et al., 1993; Rijli et al., 1993; Mallo and Gridley, 1996). We have determined the spatial and temporal expression of the Hoxa-2 homeobox protein in the developing mouse palate at embryonic stages E12, E13, E13.5, E14, E14.5, and E15.2. Hoxa-2 is expressed in the mesenchyme and epithelial cells of the palate at E12, but is progressively restricted to the tips of the growing palatal shelves at E13.3. By the E13.5 stage of development, Hoxa-2 protein was found to be expressed throughout the palatal shelf. These observations correlate with palatal shelf orientation and Hoxa-2 protein may play a direct or indirect role in guiding the palatal shelves vertically along side the tongue, starting with the tips of the palatal shelves at E13, followed by the entire palatal shelf at E13.5.4. As development progresses to E14, the stage at which shelf elevation occurs, Hoxa-2 protein is downregulated in the palatal mesenchyme but remains in the medial edge epithelium. Expression of Hoxa-2 continues in the medial edge epithelium until the fusion of opposing palatal shelves.5. By the E15 stage of development, Hoxa-2 is downregulated in the palate and expression is localized in the nasal and oral epithelia.6. In an animal model of phenytoin-induced cleft palate, we report that Hoxa-2 mRNA and protein expression were significantly decreased, implicating a possible functional role of the Hoxa-2 gene in the development of phenytoin-induced cleft palate.7. A recent report by Barrow and Capecchi (1999), has illustrated the importance of tongue posture during palatal shelf closure in Hoxa-2 mutant mice. This along with our new findings of the expression of the Hoxa-2 protein during palatogenesis has shed some light on the putative role of this gene in palate development.
