Friend Leukemia Virus

A thickening of ER membranes in murine myeloma cells was attributed by de Harven to the assembly of intracisternal virus particles. We observed similar thickening of GER membranes in Friend leukemia cells (FLC) apparently associated with Friend leukemia virus (FLV) assembly. We reinvestigated the problem of GER involvement in FLV assembly using high pressure cryofixed FLC.FLC (745A clone growing in suspension and FF clone growing in monolayer) were immersed in Hexadecene (Fluka, Switzerland) and rapidly frozen in Balzers HPM 010 freezing machine working at 2200 bar. All cells were freeze substituted at -90°C in 2% OsO4 in absolute acetone. Serial sections cut to avoid misinterpretations due to the geometry of sections, were collected on carbon coated 100 mesh grids.

Systemic sclerosis is a complex multifactorial disease characterized by autoimmunity, vasculopathy, and selective organ fibrosis. A series of genetic and epidemiological studies have demonstrated that environmental influences play a central role in the onset of systemic sclerosis, while genetic factors determine the susceptibility to and the severity of this disease. Therefore, the identification of predisposing factors related to environmental influences would provide us with an informative clue to better understand the pathological process of this disease. Based on this concept, the deficiency of transcription factor Friend leukemia virus integration 1, which is epigenetically suppressed in systemic sclerosis, seems to be a potential candidate acting as the predisposing factor of this disease. Indeed, Fli1-mutated mice serve as a set of useful disease models to disclose the complex pathology of systemic sclerosis. This article overviews the recent advancement in systemic sclerosis animal models associated with Friend leukemia virus integration 1 deficiency.

ABSTRACT Exposure of hematopoietic progenitors to gamma irradiation induces p53-dependent apoptosis. However, host responses to DNA damage are not uniform and can be modified by various factors. Here, we report that a split low-dose total-body irradiation (TBI) (1.5 Gy twice) to the host causes prominent apoptosis in bone marrow cells of Friend leukemia virus (FLV)-infected C3H mice but not in those of FLV-infected DBA mice. In C3H mice, the apoptosis occurs rapidly and progressively in erythroid cells, leading to lethal host anemia, although treatment with FLV alone or TBI alone induced minimal apoptosis in bone marrow cells. A marked accumulation of P53 protein was demonstrated in bone marrow cells from FLV-infected C3H mice 12 h after treatment with TBI. Although a similar accumulation of P53 was also observed in bone marrow cells from FLV-infected DBA mice treated with TBI, the amount appeared to be parallel to that of mice treated with TBI alone and was much lower than that of FLV- plus TBI-treated C3H mice. To determine the association of p53 with the prominent enhancement of apoptosis in FLV- plus TBI-treated C3H mice, p53 knockout mice of the C3H background (C3H p53−/− ) were infected with FLV and treated with TBI. As expected, p53 knockout mice exhibited a very low frequency of apoptosis in the bone marrow after treatment with FLV plus TBI. Further, C3H p53−/− → C3H p53+/+ bone marrow chimeric mice treated with FLV plus TBI survived even longer than the chimeras treated with FLV alone. These findings indicate that infection with FLV strongly enhances radiation-induced apoptotic cell death of hematopoietic cells in host animals and that the apoptosis occurs through a p53-associated signaling pathway, although the response was not uniform in different host strains.
