Abstract: Many different human epithelial cell types have been immortalized by the high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV)16 and HPV18. Only a few cell types have been immortalized using either a high-risk HPV E6 or E7 alone. Here, we report reproducible immortalization of human uroepithelial cells (HUCs) from several normal tissue donors after transformation with either HPV16 E6 or HPV16 E7. To date, this is the only report of a cell type in which both HPV E6 or E7 alone led to immortalization. The five E6-HUC lines that were generated showed normal pRb levels and almost undetectable p53 levels (attributed to E6 directed ubiquitin degradation), whereas the five E7-HUC lines showed decreased pRb levels and the stabilized p53 levels that are characteristic of E7-transformed cells. In general, E7-HUCs resembled normal HUCs in morphology and growth characteristics, whereas E6-HUCs resembled HPV16 E6/E7-transformed HUCs. These findings are consistent with our earlier observations that E7-HUCs have relatively stable karyotypes, whereas E6-HUCs show chromosome instability. Because both pRb and p53 alterations occur in a high percentage of clinical bladder cancers, these cell lines may be important tools in studying in vitro the biological significance of pRb and p53 alterations early in the pathogenesis of bladder cancer. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Aryl-hydrocarbon receptor is an inhibitory regulator of lipid synthesis and of commitment to adipogenesis.
David L. Alexander,Leonardo G. Ganem,Pedro M. Fernández-Salguero,Frank J. Gonzalez,Colin R. Jefcoate +4 more
TL;DR: Findings implicate the AhR as a constitutive inhibitor of triglyceride synthesis, and as an early regulator of adipocyte differentiation, in primary mouse embryo fibroblasts and spontaneously immortalized MEFs.

Genetic alterations and biological pathways in human bladder cancer pathogenesis
Catherine A. Reznikoff,Somdatta Sarkar,Knut Jülicher,Melissa S. Burger,Jairaj A. Puthenveettil,David F. Jarrard,Michael A. Newton +6 more
TL;DR: Data suggest a model of bladder cancer pathogenesis in which the predominant genetic alteration may be the "initiating event" in cancer pathogenic and may play a role in determining the biological potential of the tumor.

Minimal deletion of 3p13-->14.2 associated with immortalization of human uroepithelial cells.
Lydia Vieten,Cassandra D. Belair,Lena Savelieva,Knut Jülicher,Frank Bröcker,Walter Bardenheuer,Jochen Schütte,Bertram Opalka,Catherine A. Reznikoff +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest the presence in this region of genes involved in the control of senescence in vitro and possibly tumorigenesis in vivo, and the smallest common overlap of 3p deletions in HPV16 E6‐ or E7‐immortalized HUCs.

N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4-HPR) decreases neoplastic properties of human prostate cells: an agent for prevention
TL;DR: It is proposed that 4-HPR may be an effective agent for secondary and tertiary prevention, i.e. promotion and progression stages, respectively, of prostate cancer.

Tumor necrosis factor-α induces expression and release of interleukin-6 by human urothelial cells.
Zun-Yi Wang,Dale E. Bjorling +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TNF-α increases expression and release of IL-6 by HUCs and that the effects of T NF-α are mediated by TNFR1, and the ERK1/2 and JNK pathways are involved in TNF -α-induced expression and releases in H UCs and may represent therapeutic targets in inflammatory urinary tract diseases.

The retinoblastoma protein and cell cycle control
TL;DR: The main role of pRB is to act as a signal transducer connecting the cell cycle clock with the transcriptional machinery, allowing the clock to control the expression of banks of genes that mediate advance of the cell through a critical phase of its growth cycle.

TL;DR: Virus infection and viral gene expression emerge as necessary but obviously not sufficient factors for cancer induction, and “endogenous” modifications seem to be most important in the pathogenesis of premalignant lesions and tumor progression.
