Expression of the human endogenous retrovirus genome HERV-K, homologous to mouse mammary tumor virus, was investigated in cultured human tumor cells. In several cell lines, the HERV-K genome was expressed as an 8.8-kilobase poly(A)+ RNA which appeared to be a full-size transcript of this genome. In the human breast cancer cell line T47D, stimulation of HERV-K genome expression by progesterone was observed after estradiol treatment.
在培养的人类肿瘤细胞中,研究了与小鼠乳腺肿瘤病毒同源的人类内源性逆转录病毒基因组HERV-K的表达情况。在几种细胞系中,HERV-K基因组表达为一种8.8千碱基的聚腺苷酸化RNA,它似乎是该基因组的全长转录本。在人类乳腺癌细胞系T47D中,经雌二醇处理后,观察到孕酮对HERV-K基因组表达的刺激作用。
