Friend Leukemia Virus

A thickening of ER membranes in murine myeloma cells was attributed by de Harven to the assembly of intracisternal virus particles. We observed similar thickening of GER membranes in Friend leukemia cells (FLC) apparently associated with Friend leukemia virus (FLV) assembly. We reinvestigated the problem of GER involvement in FLV assembly using high pressure cryofixed FLC.FLC (745A clone growing in suspension and FF clone growing in monolayer) were immersed in Hexadecene (Fluka, Switzerland) and rapidly frozen in Balzers HPM 010 freezing machine working at 2200 bar. All cells were freeze substituted at -90°C in 2% OsO4 in absolute acetone. Serial sections cut to avoid misinterpretations due to the geometry of sections, were collected on carbon coated 100 mesh grids.

This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of betulinic acid on multiple myeloma cell resistance to bortezomib. To this end, the bortezomib-resistant RPMI-8226-R cells were generated by prolonged treatment of RPMI-8226 cells with increasing concentrations of bortezomib. Based on the measurements of cell viability and colony number, RPMI-8226-R cells exhibited enhanced resistance to bortezomib than RPMI-8226 cells. Treatment with betulinic acid resulted in increased sensitivity of RPMI-8226-R to bortezomib. When RPMI-8226-R cells were co-treated with bortezomib and betulinic acid, there was an increase in apoptosis rate, cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9 expression and the decrease in p-AKT/AKT and p-mTOR/mTOR levels. These results suggest that betulinic acid enhances the sensitivity of RPMI-8226-R cells to bortezomib by inhibiting the activation of the AKT/mTOR pathway in bortezomib-resistant multiple myeloma cells.

The combination of nanotechnology and chemotherapy has resulted in more effective drug design via the development of nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) for tumor targeting. Stimulus-responsive DDSs in response to internal or external signals can offer precisely controlled delivery of preloaded therapeutics. Among the various DDSs, the photo-triggered system improves the efficacy and safety of treatment through spatiotemporal manipulation of light. Additionally, pH-induced delivery is one of the most widely studied strategies for targeting the acidic micro-environment of solid tumors. Accordingly, in this review, we discuss representative strategies for designing DDSs using light as an exogenous signal or pH as an endogenous trigger.
