摘要: Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) causes adult leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). HTLV Tax, the viral transcriptional activator, can activate a variety of cellular genes. HTLV-mediated transformation, however, may involve additional proteins expressed from singly- as well doubly-spliced mRNA. To determine combined effect these on gene expression in Jurkat T-cells, we derived stable transfectants that constitutively express HTLV-I pX and env regions (J3.9). J3.9 cells show substantially increased mRNA levels egr-1 c-jun but no induction either CD25 or GM-CSF by Northern blotting. This pattern corresponded to activation an not promoter-driven reporter construct transient assays. In DNA electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA), nuclear extract has significantly binding CRE SRE factor kappa B (NFκB) oligos, compared J-Neo cell extract. These results suggest low level region products T-cells stimulates persistent CRE- SRE- NFκB-induced
