To demonstrate a high oncogenic potential in vivo we transferred the gene into early embryos of the closely related medakafish. Ectopic expression of the Xmrk oncogene under the control of a strong, constitutive promoter (CMVTk) led to the induction of embryonic tumors with high incidence, after short latency periods, and with a specific pattern of affected tissues. We demonstrate ligand-dependent transformation in vivo using a chimeric receptor consisting of the extracellular and transmembrane domains of the human EGF receptor (HER) and the cytoplasmatic domain of Xmrk. Expression of the chimeric receptor alone does not lead to ldnase activation or induction of tumors. Coexpression of the chimera with its corresponding ligand, human transforming growth factor alpha (bTGF(X), however, results in the activation of the chimeric RTK. In injected fish embryos the induction of the neoplastic growth is observed with similar incidence and tissue distribution as in embryos carrying the native Xmrk oncogene suggesting that the ligand as well as factors downstream of tbe RTK are required for tumor formation. In this study we show single-step induction of tumors by ectopic expression of RTKs in vivo substantiating tbe significance of autocrine stimulation in RTK induced tumors in vertebrales.}, subject = {Japank{\"a}rpfling}, language = {en} } @article{WinklerHongWittbrodtetal.1992, author = {Winkler, Christoph and Hong, Yunhan and Wittbrodt, Joachim and Schartl, Manfred}, title = {Analysis of heterologous and homologous promoters and enhancers in vitro and in vivo by gene transfer into Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) and Xiphophorus}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-86796}, year = {1992}, abstract = {Efficient expression systems are required for analysis of gene regulation and function in teleost fish.

In adult tissues the expression of c-src was found to persist in certain cell types of the brain and the neural retina, especially in the bipolar cells of the inner nuclear layer, which are postmitotic, fully differentiated mature neurons. Thus c-src in Xiphophorus appears to be a developmentally regulated proto-oncogene which is important for neuronal differentiation during organogenesis, but whose persistence of expression in certain terminally differentiated neurons strongly suggests a particular maintenance function for c-src in these cells as well.}, subject = {Schwertk{\"a}rpfling}, language = {en} } @article{BarnekowJahnSchartl1990, author = {Barnekow, Angelika and Jahn, Reinhard and Schartl, Manfred}, title = {Synaptophysin: a substrate for the protein tyrosine kinase pp60c-src in intact synaptic vesicles}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-86168}, year = {1990}, abstract = {Expression of pp60 c-src, the first well defined proto-oncogene product, is developmentally regulated and tissue-specific, with neuronal tissues displaying high amounts of the c-src encoded pp60 c-src kinase activity.
