Virus
Cell
Integration (usually)
Transformation
Virus-specific proteins expressed - No mature virus
Changes in the properties of host cell - TRANSFORMATION
3
Tumor VirusesTumor VirusesTransformation:
Loss of growth control
Ability to form tumors - viral genes interfere with control of cell replication
4
TRANSFORMATIONBoth DNA and RNA tumor viruses can transform cells
Integration occurs (usually)
Similar mechanisms
VIRAL TRANSFORMATION
The changes in the biological functions of a cell that result from
REGULATION
of the cell’s metabolism by viral genes and that confer on the infected cell certain properties characteristic of
NEOPLASIA
These changes often result from the integration of the viral genome into the host cell DNA
5
TRANSFORMATION
Among the many altered properties of the TRANSFORMED CELL are:
• Loss of growth control (loss of contact inhibition in cultured cells)
• Tumor formation
• Mobility
• Reduced adhesion
• Transformed cells frequently exhibit chromosomal aberrations

Two Major Classes of Tumor Viruses
DNA Tumor Viruses
DNA viral genome
Host RNA polymerase
Viral mRNA
Viral protein
DNA-dependentDNA polymerase
(Host or viral)

RNA Tumor VirusesViral RNA genome
Reverse transcriptase (Virus-encoded)
Viral DNA genome (integrated)
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (Host Host RNA pol II)
Viral genomic RNA
Splicing (Host splicing enzymes)
messenger RNA
viral protein
Virus
Important: Use HOSTRNA polymerase
to make its genome
An enzyme that normally
makes mRNA

DNA Tumor Viruses In Human Cancer
Papilloma Viruses
• cause natural cancers in animals
• cause benign warts
• ubiquitous
• epitheliotropic - most human tumors are malignancies of epithelial cells

Papilloma viruses are found in 91% of women with cervical cancer
Squamous cell carcinoma:LarynxEsophagus All histologically similarLung
10% of human cancers may be HPV-linked
13
DNA Tumor Viruses In Human Cancer
Papilloma Viruses
• 51 types identified - most common are types 6 and 11
• most cervical, vulvar and penile cancers are ASSOCIATED with types 16 and 18 (70% of penile cancers)
EPIDEMIOLOGIAL STUDIES BUT:HPV 16 and HPV 18 do transform human keratinocytes
14
DNA Tumor Viruses In Human Cancer

Polyoma Viruses• Simian virus 40 - juvenile hamster sarcomas, transformation
• Polyoma - mouse leukemia, in vitro transformation
• Human polyomas (JC and BK) - monkey sarcoma, transformation
PROGRESSIVE MULTIFOCAL LEUKOENCEPHALOPATHY
Polyoma virus transforms cells when the genome is incomplete
Early functions are necessary
15
DNA Tumor Viruses In Human Cancer
DNA Tumor Viruses In Human Cancer
Adenoviruses
Highly oncogenic in animals
Only part of virus integrated
Always the same part
Early functions
E1A region: 2 T antigens
E1B region: 1 T antigen
E1A and E1B = Oncogenes
16
DNA Tumor Viruses In Human Cancer
DNA Tumor Viruses In Human Cancer
ONCOGENEA gene that codes for a protein that potentially can transform
a normal cell into a malignant cell
An oncogene may be transmitted by a virus in which case it is known as a VIRAL ONCOGENE

• Can transform cells or have lytic life cycle
• Often integrate into host genome
• In transformation ONLY early genes are transcribed

A normal retrovirus has:
3 genes
GAG : internal proteins
ENV: Envelope glycoproteins
25
RNA Tumor VirusesRNA Tumor VirusesRNA is:
• Diploid Capped and polyadenylated
• Positive sense (same as mRNA)
Viral RNA cannot be read as mRNA
New mRNA must be made
Virus must make negative sense DNA before proteins are made
Therefore virus must carry REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE into the cell

Pol II is a host enzyme that, in the uninfected cell, makes mRNA
When making mRNA, pol II does not copy entire gene to RNA

RNA Tumor VirusesRNA Tumor Viruses
Perhaps virus could integrate downstream of a promotor etc so that the cell provides sequences
RNA polymerase II will not copy
Upstream sequences from transcription initiation site
• Promotors / Enhancers
Down stream sequences from transcription termination site
• Enhancers / Poly A site / termination site
OR
Virus provides its own promotors etc
BUT not copied!

RNA Tumor VirusesRNA Tumor Viruses
Proto-oncogene
A cellular (host) gene that is homologous with a similar gene that is found in a transforming virus
A cellular oncogene can only induce transformation after
• mutation
• some other change in the cell’s genome
41
RNA Tumor VirusesRNA Tumor VirusesThe discovery of the acutely transforming
retroviruses that contain v-oncs explains how cancers may arise as a result
of infection
These viruses cause rapid cancer in animals in the laboratory
42
RNA Tumor VirusesRNA Tumor VirusesIn contrast:
Chronically transforming retroviruses
cause tumors inefficiently after prolonged period of time
No oncogene! – How does it cause a tumor?
R U5 GAG POL ENV U3 R
Avian Leukosis Virus (causes lymphomas)
43
RNA Tumor VirusesRNA Tumor Viruses
Suggest tumor arose from one cell
• Something must be important about this site for transformation
• Crucial event must be rare
ALV can integrate into the host cell genome at MANY locations
but in tumor it is always at the SAME site (or restricted number of sites)
44
RNA Tumor VirusesRNA Tumor VirusesWhat is special about this site?
Myelocytoma tumors from several birds all have the oncogene close to this site
It is close to
C-myc!
