Abstract

Ad12 oncogenesis in hamsters has been studied in detail to provide the following new data in this tumor model. Cells in the Ad12-induced tumors, often thought to be of neuronal origin, actually exhibit mesenchymal and neuronal characteristics and are probably of an undifferentiated derivation. Their intraperitoneal spread upon intramuscular injection of Ad12 adds another important new aspect. Differences in the integration patterns among the tumors suggest clonal origins from individual transformation events. Ad12 gene expression in the tumors is determined, at least in part, by the patterns of DNA methylation imprinted de novo upon the integrated Ad12 genomes. Differential Ad12 gene expression patterns, which have previously not been described in tumors, are an important parameter in Ad12 oncogenesis. The availability of cellular DNA arrays has opened up unprecedented possibilities to document changes in cellular transcription patterns, particularly of cancer-specific genes. These patterns exhibit differences and similarities among the different Ad12-induced tumors. Among the cellular genes, which are expressed in the Ad12-induced tumors, many are cancer-specific. We pursue the hypothesis that these alterations in cellular transcription patterns as a consequence of viral DNA integration and expression play an essential role in Ad12 oncogenesis.
