Abstract
The v-erbA oncogene transforms chicken erythrocytic progenitors (T2EC) by blocking their differentiation and freezing them in a state of self-renewal. Transcriptomes of T2EC, expressing either v-erbA or a non-transforming form of v-erbA (S61G), were compared using serial analysis of gene expression and some, but not all, mRNA-encoding ribosomal proteins were seen to be affected by v-erbA. These results suggest that this oncogene could modulate the composition of ribosomes. In the present study, we demonstrate, using two-dimensional difference in gel electrophoresis, that v-erbA-expressing cells have a lower amount of RPL11 associated with the ribosomes. The presence of ribosomes devoid of RPL11 in v-erbA-expressing cells was further confirmed by immunoprecipitation. In order to assess the possible impact of these specialized ribosomes on the translational activity, we analyzed proteomes of either v-erbA or S61G-expressing cells using 2D/mass spectrometry, and identified nine proteins present in differing amounts within these cells. Among these proteins, we focused on HSP70 because of its involvement in erythroid differentiation. Our results indicate that, in v-erbA-expressing cells, hsp70 is not only transcribed but also translated more efficiently, as shown by polyribosome fractionation experiments. We demonstrate here, for the first time, the existence of ribosomes with different protein components, notably ribosomes devoid of RPL11, and a regulation of mRNA translation depending on v-erbA oncogene expression.

Abstract
Background: The v-erbA oncogene, carried by the Avian Erythroblastosis Virus, derives from the c-erbAα proto-oncogene that encodes the nuclear receptor for triiodothyronine (T3R). v-ErbA transforms erythroid progenitors in vitro by blocking their differentiation, supposedly by interference with T3R and RAR (Retinoic Acid Receptor). However, v-ErbA target genes involved in its transforming activity still remain to be identified. Results: By using Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE), we identified 110 genes deregulated by v-ErbA and potentially implicated in the transformation process. Bioinformatic analysis of promoter sequence and transcriptional assays point out a potential role of c-Myb in the v-ErbA effect. Furthermore, grouping of newly identified target genes by function revealed both expected (chromatin/transcription) and unexpected (protein metabolism) functions potentially deregulated by v-ErbA. We then focused our study on 15 of the new v-ErbA target genes and demonstrated by real time PCR that in majority their expression was activated neither by T3, nor RA, nor during differentiation. This was unexpected based upon the previously known role of v-ErbA. Conclusion: This paper suggests the involvement of a wealth of new unanticipated mechanisms of v-ErbA action.

Abstract
This study examines whether the serine/threonine protein kinase, Akt, is involved in the crosstalk between the ErbB2 and estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) pathways. Treatment of MCF-7 cells with 10(-9) M heregulin-beta1 (HRG-beta1) resulted in a rapid phosphorylation of Akt and a 15-fold increase in Akt activity. Akt phosphorylation was blocked by inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K), by antiestrogens, the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein, and by AG825, a selective ErbB2 inhibitor; but not by AG30, a selective EGFR inhibitor. Akt phosphorylation by HRG-beta1 was abrogated by an arginine to cysteine mutation (R25C) in the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of Akt, and HRG-beta1 did not induce Akt phosphorylation in the ER-negative variant of MCF-7, MCF-7/ADR. Transient transfection of ER-alpha into these cells restored Akt phosphorylation by HRG-beta1, suggesting the requirement of ER-alpha. HRG-beta1 did not activate Akt in MCF-7 cells stably transfected with an anti-ErbB2-targeted ribozyme, further confirming a role for ErbB2. Stable transfection of the cells with a dominant negative Akt or with the R25C-Akt mutant, as well as PI 3-K inhibitors, blocked the effect of HRG-beta1 on ER-alpha expression and activity and on the growth of MCF-7 cells. Stable transfection of MCF-7 cells with a constitutively active Akt mimicked the effect of HRG-beta1. Experiments employing selective ErbB inhibitors demonstrate that the effect of HRG-beta1 on ER-alpha expression and activity is also mediated by ErbB2 and not by EGFR, demonstrating that ErbB2 is the primary mediator of the effects of HRG-beta1 on ER-alpha regulation. Taken together, our data suggest that HRG-beta1, bound to the ErbB2 ErbB3 heterodimer, in the presence of membrane ER-alpha, interacts with and activates PI 3-K/Akt. Akt leads to nuclear ER-alpha phosphorylation, thereby altering its expression and transcriptional activity.

Abstract
T2EC are chicken erythrocytic progenitors that balance between self-renewal and differentiation as a function of response to specific growth factors. Their transformation by the v-erbA oncogene locks them into the self-renewal program. We show here that the expression of the VLA-2 integrin alpha2 subunit mRNA is downregulated by v-erbA and that VLA-2 engagement and clustering, brought about by treatment with an alpha2-specific antibody or by culture on the VLA-2 ligand collagen I, inhibits T2EC proliferation. From competition studies using antibodies, VLA-2 was shown to be involved in the collagen-induced response. While engagement of VLA-2 inhibited proliferation, it was not sufficient to induce differentiation. The transformation of T2EC by v-erbA decreased their interaction with collagen I and the VLA-2 brake on cell proliferation, which may account for the increased proliferation potential of transformed erythrocytic progenitors and for their shedding into the blood of infected chickens. Our data suggest that the interaction between erythroid progenitors and collagen, mediated by VLA-2, play a major role in the control of erythropoiesis in vitro and that this pathway is a target of the v-erbA oncogene.

Abstract
The E26 and avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV) avian retroviruses induce acute leukemia in chickens. E26 can block both erythroid and myeloid differentiation at an early multipotent stage. Moreover, E26 can block erythroid differentiation at the erythroid burst-forming unit/erythroid CFU (BFU-E/CFU-E) stage, which also corresponds to the differentiation stage blocked by AEV. AEV carries two oncogenes, v-erbA and v-erbB, whereas E26 encodes a single 135-kDa Gag-Myb-Ets fusion oncoprotein. v-ErbA is responsible for the erythroid differentiation arrest through negative interferences with both the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and the thyroid hormone receptor (T3R/c-ErbA). We investigated whether Myb-Ets could block erythroid differentiation in a manner similar to v-ErbA. We show here that Myb-Ets inhibits both RAR and c-ErbA activities on specific hormone response elements in transient-expression assays. Moreover, Myb-Ets abrogates the inactivation of transcription factor AP-1 by RAR and T3R, another feature shared with v-ErbA. Myb-Ets also antagonizes the biological response of erythrocytic progenitor cells to retinoic acid and T3. Analysis of a series of mutants of Myb-Ets reveals that the domains of the oncoprotein involved in these inhibitory activities are the same as those involved in oncogenic transformation of hematopoietic cells. These data demonstrate that the Myb-Ets oncoprotein shares properties with the v-ErbA oncoprotein and that inhibition of ligand-dependent RAR and c-ErbA functions by Myb-Ets is responsible for blocking the differentiation of hematopoietic progenitors.

Abstract
Numerous data suggest that mitochondrial activity is involved in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Therefore, we have studied the changes in mitochondrial activity in avian myoblast cultures (QM7 line) undergoing differentiation or in BrdU-treated, differentiation-deficient cells. As we have previously shown that triiodothyronine and v-erb A expression stimulate myogenic differentiation, we have also observed their influence upon mitochondrial activity. Comparison of control and BrdU-treated myoblasts indicated that precocious differentiation events were associated with a stimulation of citrate synthase and cytochrome oxidase activities. They also induced a transient decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential assessed by rhodamine 123 uptake. In control myoblasts, a general stimulation of mitochondrial activity was recorded at cell confluence, prior to terminal differentiation. These events did not occur in BrdU-treated myoblasts, thus indicating that they were tightly linked to myoblast commitment. Whereas no significant triiodothyronine influence could be detected upon mitochondrial activity, we observed that v-erb A expression significantly depresses the mitochondrial membrane potential in control myoblasts. This action was not observed in BrdU-treated myoblasts, thus suggesting that it involves an indirect pathway linked to differentiation. Moreover, the oncoprotein abrogated the decrease in E2-PDH subunit level observed at cell confluence. These data underline that changes in mitochondrial activity occurred prior to myoblast terminal differentiation and could be involved in the processes regulating myogenesis. In addition, they provide the first evidence that the v-erb A oncoprotein influences mitochondrial activity.

Abstract
We have used vectors derived from avian leukosis viruses to transduce exogenous genes into early somatic stem cells of chicken embryos. The ecotropic helper cell line, Isolde, was used to generate stocks of NL-B vector carrying the Neo(r) selectable marker and the Escherichia coli lacZ gene. Microinjection of the NL-B vector directly beneath unincubated chicken embryo blastoderms resulted in infection of germline stem cells. One of the 16 male birds hatched (6.25%) from the injected embryos contained vector DNA sequences in its semen. Vector sequences were transmitted to G1 progeny at a frequency of 2.7%. Neo(r) and lacZ genes were transcribed in vitro in chicken embryo fibroblast cultures from transgenic embryos of the G2 progeny.

Abstract
We previously reported that infection of chicken embryonic neuroretina cells with Rous-associated virus type 1 leads to the frequent occurrence of spliced readthrough transcripts containing viral and cellular sequences. Generation of such chimeric transcripts constitutes a very early step in oncogene transduction. We report, here, the isolation of a c-mil transducing retrovirus, designated IC4, which contains a highly mutated U3 sequence in which 48% of A is converted to G. Functional analysis of this variant U3 indicated that these mutations do not impair viral transcription and replication; however, they abolish functioning of its polyadenylation signal, thus allowing readthrough transcription of downstream cellular sequences. On the basis of these results, we designed a nonreplicative retroviral vector, pIC4Neo, expressing the neomycin resistance (Neo(r)) gene under the control of the IC4 long terminal repeat. Infection of nondividing neuroretina cells with virus produced by a packaging cell line transfected with pIC4Neo occasionally resulted in sustained cell proliferation. Two independent G418-resistant proliferating cultures were found to express hybrid RNAs containing viral and cellular sequences. These sequences were characterized by reverse transcription-PCR and were identified in both cultures, suggesting that proliferation was correlated with a common integration locus. These results indicate that IC4Neo virus functions as a useful insertional mutagen and may allow identification of genes potentially involved in regulation of cell division.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) can be used to generate recombinant viral vectors for delivery of heterologous genes to human CD4-positive lymphocytes. To define the cis-acting sequences required for efficient gene transfer, a number of HIV-1 vectors containing a previously identified packaging signal, long terminal repeats, and additional gag, pol, and env viral sequences were designed. By providing the viral proteins in trans, recombinant viruses were generated and analyzed for their abilities to transfer genes into human T lymphocytes. Inclusion of up to 653 nucleotides derived from the 5' end of the gag gene in the vector improved the efficiency of gene transfer, but inclusion of additional gag or pol sequences did not further improve this efficiency. The increased efficiency of gene transfer associated with the inclusion of 5' gag sequences in the vector arose, at least in part, from an increase in the packaging of vector RNA. The presence of the Rev-responsive element (RRE) increased the efficiency of transfer of vectors containing significant lengths of gag sequence, as expected from the Rev requirement for nucleus-to-cytoplasm transport of unspliced vector RNA containing intact packaging signals. However, the presence of a RRE did not affect the transfer efficiency of smaller vectors lacking significant lengths of gag sequences, arguing against a specific role for the RRE in packaging or vector transfer. These results contribute to an understanding of the minimal cis-acting sequences that operate in the context of HIV-1 vectors for delivering genes into human lymphocytes.

Abstract
In this report, we investigated the transforming properties of retinoic acid receptor beta (RAR beta). The v-erbA protein, which is the viral oncogenic homologue of the thyroid hormone receptor, was replaced by either the complete RAR beta (beta R) or a hepatitis B virus pre-S-RAR beta (H beta R) hybrid product in an avian erythroblastosis virus-based vector. In chicken hematopoietic cells, the H beta R protein was able to transform erythroid progenitor cells, whereas no such transformation was observed with the wild-type beta R protein. Moreover, the fully transformed phenotype was observed even in the absence of v-erbB, and H beta R-transformed erythroid cells grew independently of growth factors and transforming growth factor alpha. The analysis of erythrocytic-specific proteins revealed that the transformed cells were blocked at the colony-forming unit-erythroid stage and that the expression of the carbonic anhydrase II gene, a gene normally regulated by thyroid hormones, was repressed by the H beta R protein. Finally, hepatocarcinomas rapidly developed in some chickens infected in ovo with viruses encoding either the normal or the hybrid H beta R, suggesting that an inappropriate expression of the RAR beta gene may represent an important event in oncogenesis.

Virol. 64:1070-1078, 1990) which produces avian leukosis virus gag and pol proteins, we have constructed packaging cells with subgroups B, C, and E envelope specificities. This allows us to produce helper-free avian leukosis virus particles carrying the lacZ reporter gene and the A, B, C, or E subgroup specificities. Titers of the recombinant lacZ virus are shown to be dependent upon the type of the env subgroup and the target avian cell.

Abstract
The effect of the v-erbA and/or v-erbB oncogenes on cellular gene expression was investigated after separation by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of [35S]methionine-labelled proteins from chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF), infected by either the avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV) carrying both oncogenes, or by viruses carrying only one of them. We observed significant changes in the synthesis of 34 proteins in AEV-transformed CEF as compared with control cells. The synthesis of 24 of them was increased while the synthesis of the other 10 proteins was decreased. The expression of v-erbB alone is necessary and sufficient to induce changes in the synthesis of 27 proteins while the 7 remaining modifications are observed only in cells expressing v-erbB together with v-erbA. Moreover, the deregulation of protein synthesis by v-erbB-expressing viruses was correlated with the morphological transformation state of cells.

Abstract
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a paramyxovirus that bears two envelope glycoproteins at the virion surface. These proteins, fusion and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), are involved in the immune response against NDV infection. Recombinant cells constitutively expressing at their surface the HN protein from the velogenic Texas strain were generated by introducing the HN gene with a helper-free AEV-based vector. These recombinant cells were used to immunize chickens by various protocols, and birds were subsequently challenged with a lethal NDV injection. Both NDV protection and serologic response were observed.

Abstract
Ligand-activated retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha) and c-ErbA alpha repress the AP-1-mediated transcriptional activation of the interstitial collagenase gene promoter by specifically decreasing the activity of the AP-1 transcription factor. On the other hand, the v-ErbA oncoprotein fails to repress the AP-1 activity and acts as a dominant negative oncoprotein by overcoming the repression of the AP-1 activity induced by RAR alpha and c-ErbA alpha. This maintenance by v-ErbA of a fully active AP-1 complex is correlated with the abrogation by this same oncogene product of the growth-inhibitory response of chicken embryo fibroblasts to retinoic acid treatment. This new mechanism of action of v-ErbA together with its previously discovered dominant repressor effect on transcription of thyroid hormone-activated target genes may explain the contribution of the v-erbA oncogene to sarcomatogenic and leukemogenic transformation.

Abstract
The Rous-associated virus 1 env gene, which encodes the envelope gp85 and gp37 glycoproteins, was isolated and inserted in place of the v-erbB oncogene into an avian erythroblastosis virus-based vector, carrying the neo resistance gene substituted for the v-erbA oncogene, to generate the pNEA recombinant vector. A helper-free virus stock of the pNEA vector was produced on an avian transcomplementing cell line and used to infect primary chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) or quail QT6 cells. These infected cells, selected with G418 (CEF/NEA and QT6/NEA, respectively) were found to be resistant to superinfections with subgroup A retroviruses. The CEF/NEA preparations were used as a cell-associated antigen to inoculate adult chickens by the intravenous route compared with direct inoculations of NEA recombinant helper-free virus used as a cell-free antigen. Chickens injected with the cell-associated antigen (CEF/NEA) exhibited an immune response demonstrated by induction of high titers of neutralizing antibodies and were found to be protected against tumor production after Rous sarcoma virus A challenge. Conversely, no immune response and no protection against Rous sarcoma virus A challenge were observed in chickens directly inoculated with cell-free NEA recombinant virus or in sham-inoculated chickens.

Abstract
Production and expression of double-expression vectors which transduce both Neo(r) and lacZ genes and are based on the structure of avian leukosis virus were enhanced by using cis-acting sequences (long terminal repeats and noncoding sequences) from Rous-associated virus-1 and Rous-associated virus-2 rather than those of avian erythroblastosis virus previously used in our constructs. Polyclonal producer cells obtained after transfection of these vectors into the Isolde packaging cell line gave rise to titers as high as 3 x 10(5) lacZ CFU/ml, whereas it was possible to isolate clones of producer cells giving rise to titers of more than 10(6) resistance focus-forming units per ml.

Abstract
To obtain stable and constitutive expression of histone H5 at levels comparable to those observed in normal chicken erythrocytes, an avian self-inactivating retroviral vector was used to transfer the H5 gene into cells which do not express this protein. The vector, pDAH5, was obtained by removing the CAAT and TATA boxes of the 3'LTR of the avian leukosis virus RAV-2 and inserting the H5 sequence. Infection of QT6 quail cells with the recombinant virus (DAH5) led to the stable integration of the foreign H5 gene at low copy number, to the formation of correctly initiated mRNA transcripts and to the production of H5 protein. The amount of H5 expressed was equivalent to that of a mature chicken erythrocyte. Expression of histone H5 in DAH5 transformed cells, such as QT6 or AEV-ES4, transformed chicken embryo fibroblasts had only slight effects on the growth rate and did not inhibit cell replication. Conversely, the effect of H5 expression on normal quail and chicken fibroblasts was dramatic: cells acquired the aspect of quiescent fibroblasts, grew very slowly, and nuclei looked compacted, often extruded from the cell. The H5 histone produced in QT6-transformed cells was found to be phosphorylated while in normal chicken fibroblasts the protein lacked this posttranslational modification. It is proposed that the chromatin-condensing role of histone H5 is inhibited by its phosphorylation.

Abstract
A temperature-sensitive mutant of the Moloney murine leukemia virus-TB, ts1, causes hindlimb paralysis and immunodeficiency in mice. At the restrictive temperature, the envelope precursor polyprotein, gPr80env, is inefficiently processed intracellularly, and this is associated with the neurovirulence of ts1. To test the hypothesis that expression of the envelope proteins of ts1 alone without infectious virus production can induce paralysis, it is necessary to use either transmissible retroviral expression vectors or microinjection of eukaryotic gene expression plasmid to introduce the env gene of ts1 into germlines of mice. In this study, we have constructed three retrovirus vectors and three gene expression plasmids, all of which contain the env gene of ts1. By comparing the different expression systems, we found that one construct, pts1-env(F) can express the envelope proteins at a level comparable to the level expressed in ts1-infected cells. Furthermore, the expressed envelope proteins of pts1-env(F)-transfected cells possess the phenotypes of the proteins expressed by the env gene of ts1.

Abstract
Retroviral vectors carrying either the v-jun and v-erbB sequences or the v-jun gene linked to the neomycin resistance gene were constructed on the basis of the structural genome organization of avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV). These viruses, called JB and JN, respectively, were rescued as Rous-associated virus-1 pseudotypes, and they were shown to successfully transform chicken embryo fibroblasts in vitro. However, in agar, colonies developed from JB-infected fibroblasts were three to five times larger than those obtained after infection with JN or with AEV Pst124 carrying only a functional v-erbB gene. In vivo, on chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assays, JB produced fibrosarcomas that were more rapidly growing and much larger than those induced by JN or AEV Pst124. Moreover, in chickens infected in ovo with JB, multiple fibrosarcomas arose in different organs a few days after birth, whereas no tumor could be detected in parallel experiments in either JN- or AEV Pst124-infected animals. These results demonstrate that in embryo fibroblast cells, v-jun and v-erbB can act synergistically to enhance the transformation potential of either oncogene alone both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
An avian leukosis virus-based packaging cell line was constructed from the genome of the Rous-associated virus type 1. The gag, pol, and env genes were separated on two different plasmids; the packaging signal and the 3' long terminal repeat were removed. On a plasmid expressing the gag and pol genes, the env gene was replaced by the hygromycin resistance gene. The phleomycin resistance gene was inserted in the place of the gag-pol genes on a plasmid expressing the env gene. The plasmid containing the gag, pol, and Hygror genes was transfected into QT6 cells. Clones that produced high levels of p27gag were transfected with the plasmid containing the Phleor and env genes. Clones that produced high levels of env protein (as measured by an interference assay) were tested for their ability to package NeoR-expressing replication-defective vectors (TXN3'). One of the clones (Isolde) was able to transfer the Neo+ phenotype to recipient cells at a titer of 10(5) resistance focus-forming units per ml. Titers of supernatants of cells infected with Rous-associated virus type 1 prior to transfection by Neor vectors were similar. Tests for recombination events that might result in intact helper virus showed no evidence for the generation of replication-competent virus. The use of selectable genes inserted next to the viral genes to generate high-producer packaging cell lines is discussed.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of the v-erbA oncogene product, an altered thyroid hormone receptor, in chicken erythrocyte progenitor cells. Bone marrow cells were infected with a retrovirus vector (XJ12) carrying the v-erbA gene in association with the neoR gene. XJ12-infected erythrocyte progenitor cells gave rise to G418-resistant clones. Some were composed of blast cells identified as transformed CFU-Es blocked in their differentiation. These cells could be grown in culture for at least 25 generations and required anemic chicken serum as a source of erythropoietic growth factors. XJ12 can infect erythrocyte progenitor cells in vivo but is not sufficient to induce erythroleukemia. These data suggest that the activation of a nuclear hormone receptor might represent one step toward the development of neoplasms.
