Evidence that retroviruses integrate into post-replication host DNA.

Abstract: We have studied the question of whether a retrovirus integrates into the chromosomal DNA of the host cell before or after the DNA is replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle. We have infected single NIH-3T3 cells with BAG, a replication-incompetent retroviral vector which encodes the lacZ gene, then observed the clones derived from these cells to discover whether all the cells carry a copy of the proviral DNA. We have discovered that only half of the progeny of an infected cell carries a copy of the pro… Show more

“…11 Such a proliferation allowed efficient retroviral-mediated transduction and selective labeling of the cell population undergoing mitosis in response to CPA. Indeed, retroviral vectors are only able to infect dividing cells, 29 and we never detected significant labeling of hepatocytes in control, untreated animals. Moreover, we observed a similar distribution of mitosis as well as hepatocyte labeling in the periportal and mediolobular zone of the lobule.…”

“…Notably, 54 Ϯ 15% of the infected cells were Olig2ϩ (n ϭ 120) and they largely consisted of NG2ϩ precursors (Fig. 3J), whereas few LM-cells were labeled, in line with the failure of MLV-based retroviral genomes to incorporate into the genome of slow proliferating cells (36). However, 1 week after virus injection, almost 50% of all GFP-labeled (GFPϩ) cells were LM- (Fig.…”

“…10,11 A major limitation of the currently available retroviral vectors is their requirement for target cells to transit the cell cycle in order for proviral integration to occur. 12,13 Mobilised peripheral blood stem cells are generally quiescent and are thus intrinsically refractory to transduction by such vectors. 14 Attempts to improve transduction efficiency by using cocktails of haemopoietic growth to induce entry into the cell cycle resulted in only transient marking of cells in vivo, suggesting that retroviral integration had occurred in committed progenitors rather than stem cells.…”
