Genes induced by HERV-K virus retroviral envelop
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The HERV-K(HML2) family is a group of elements of retroviral origin that are present in the human genome. They are silenced in most normal tissues, but are induced in a number of human cancers. In order to assess the relevance of their expression in these pathologies, the consequences of ectopic expression of the HERV-K(HML2) envelope protein were analysed in human 293T cells. The cells were transfected with a control vector, or an expression vector for the HERV-K(HML2) envelope protein. Total RNA was extracted 24h and 48h post transfection, and duplicate samples were analysed on whole genome transcriptional microarrays.
