Example sentences for: sarcoma
How can you use “sarcoma” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The pRET2 incorporates long-terminal repeats from the myeloproliferative sarcoma virus [ 7 ] , and a point mutation in the primer binding site [ 8 ] . A vector expressing the human cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) cDNA was constructed in the same backbone (pRET2.COX2).
For example, viral IL-6 might be incorporated into the genomes of prostatic carcinomas, as has been described for Kaposi sarcoma [ 5 32 33 39 40 41 ] . The route of introduction of the viral IL-6 is believed to be through previous herpesvirus infection [ 39 41 ] . Another possibility is that the insertion of the oncogene BRCA1 results in the constitutive activation of STAT3 in NRP-154 cells, as has been described in Du-145 prostate cancer cells [ 42 ] . Du-145 cells do not make IL-6; nor are they dependent upon it for continued proliferation in vitro.
To test this possibility, NIH 3T3 cells were transiently transfected with a CAT reporter gene driven by one copy of the wild type SRE upstream of the Rous sarcoma virus long terminal repeat minimal promoter.
For example, early investigators observed that transfection of untransformed B cells with a plasmid for constitutive expression of IL-6 conferred the tumorigenic phenotype on the cells [ 2 ] . IL-6 is a key factor in myeloma progression and survival [ 3 4 ] , and also in Kaposi's sarcoma, a solid tumor [ 5 ] . In myeloma, the standard therapy for treatment includes prednisone, which acts by inhibiting IL-6 synthesis.
We have previously characterized clonal mouse astrocyte cell lines, immortalized by transduction of SV40 large T antigen expressed from the MoMuLV LTR [ 6 13 ] . Here, we compare variation in Tag levels in 3 of these lines and 3 additional lines (termed tkT lines), immortalized with Moloney Sarcoma Virus vectors expressing Tag from an internal herpes thymidine kinase (tk) promoter.
