However, we show here that cytosine beta-D-arabinofuranoside (Ara C) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), agents that activated the MDR1 gene in the H9 T-cell leukemia line, caused different effects on PKC.
Isolated mRNAs expressed differentially between the two types of ATL include a T-cell differentiation antigen (MAL), a lymphoid-specific member of the G-protein-coupled receptor family (EBI-1 / CCR7), a novel human homologue to a subunit (MNLL) of the bovine ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex, and a human fibrinogen-like protein (hpT49).
Expression of HTLV-I pX mRNA was suppressed more than 90% in ATL PBLs by treatment with 3-27 microg/ml of either TEA or EGCg, while expression of beta-actin mRNA was much less suppressed by treatment with the same concentration of TEA or EGCg.
We also found a gene near the breakpoint at the 14q24 region that is downregulated in this ATL patient and is assigned in the database as a pseudogene of ADAM21 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain 21).

Simian T cell leukemia virus type I from naturally infected feral monkeys from central and west Africa encodes a 91-amino acid p12 (ORF-I) protein as opposed to a 99-amino acid protein encoded by HTLV type I from humans.
In this study, we demonstrated that withdrawal of interleukin (IL)-2 from IL-2-dependent ATL cell lines resulted in induction of HTLV-1 mRNA and protein expression, and that viral induction was associated with phosphorylation of the stress kinase p38 and its downstream CREB.

Induction of AKT serine/threonine kinase activity is augmented by the T-cell leukemia-1 (TCL1) oncoprotein through a physical association requiring the AKT pleckstrin homology domain.
The impact of PTEN, PI3K and AKT aberrations was studied in a genetically well-characterized pediatric T-cell leukemia patient cohort (n=146) treated on DCOG or COALL protocols.
TCL1 transgenic mice (TCL1-tg), in which TCL1 is ectopically expressed in mature lymphocytes, develop multiple B- and T-cell leukemia and lymphoma subtypes, supporting an oncogenic role for TCL1 that probably involves AKT and MAPK-ERK signaling pathway augmentation.
DCZ3301, a novel aryl-guanidino inhibitor, induces cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest via suppressing the PI3K/AKT pathway in T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
Taken together, these findings suggest that AMFR may be one of the GVL antigens that provoke effective antitumor immunity against ATL in allogeneic settings.
Together, these results suggest that the cytoplasmic interplay of Tax and p100 may play an important role in the initiation and maintenance of HTLV-1 latency observed in adult T-cell leukemia.
