Biography: Dr. Ruscetti obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh working on prokaryotic RNA metabolism under Lew Jacobsen, and did postdoctoral work on hematopoiesis under Dane Boggs. From 1975 to 1983, he studied human retroviruses and T cell biology in the National Cancer lnstitute's Laboratory of Tumor Cell Biology
Laboratory of Leukocyte Biology
Negative Regulation in Viral Pathogenesis
Research: Cell cycle control of cell growth and differentiation is tightly regulated by a series of complex interactions. It is the main tenet of our studies that unrestricted growth control and inappropriate transcriptional activation due to defects in negative regulatory control play a major role in oncogenesis and retroviral pathogenesis.
Transforming Growth Factor ~: Growth Inhibition of Stem Cells
In studying negative regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) growth, we have found TGF~ selectively inhibits the growth of all primitive stem cell populations isolated. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that HSC's are reversibly prevented from entering the cell cycle after TGF~treatment regardless of the growth stimulant used. In single cell assays, using highly purified murine HSC, growth inhibition by TGF~l was direct.
Future projects include disruption of TGF~ growth regulation in stem cell lines and fresh stem cells to test for oncogenic potential and clone genes involved in TGF~ regulation of HSC growth.
Negative Regulation of Viral and Cellular Genes During Retroviral Infection
We previously demonstrated HIV-1 latency in monocytes in vivo. The presence of latently infected monocytes constitutes a possible source for reactivation of virus production during the normal immune response. We have identified immune activation of latently infected monocytes to be a mechanism by which latent HIV-1 can be reactivated to produce infectious virus. Ongoing sh1dies involve identification of these genes as well as signal transduction pathways involved in immune activation of latent HIV-1.
Methylation of the viral LTR is a second mechanism by which HIV-1 and HTLV-I proviral expression is silenced. We have recently demonstrated that these viruses upregulate expression of DNA methyltransferase (metase) in infected cell lines and primary cells. Further, we have identified the IFN-y gene as a target of this increased DNA metase activity. Thus, increasing DNA metase expression may be another mechanism by which HIV-1 evades the immune response. As aberrant methylation has long been thought to be important in oncogenesis, this may also be a mechanism of tumor development associated with human retroviral infections. Future studies will determine the molecular basis of human retroviral upregulation of DNA metase, if increased methylation of the IFN-y gene routinely occurs in AIDS patients, and will identify other targets of the increased metase activity.
Although largely unknown, the cellular events triggered by HTLV-I infection in the lymphoproliferative process are of major importance to the establishment of leukemia. We have recently characterized an infectious clone of HTLV-I as well as a susceptible expressing cell line to study the molecular interactions of this infectious clone. We have shown this infectious clone to be highly transforming for T cells. Future studies include delineating viral elements necessary for cytokine-dependent and -independent transformation as well as the signaling pathways, initiated by HTLV-1, resulting in T cell immortalization.

Biography: Dr. Ruscetti obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh and has been at the National Cancer Institute since I 975, where she began her studies on retroviruses in the laboratories of Wade Parks and Edward Seo/nick.
Laboratory of Molecular Oncology
Molecular Basis for the Pathogenesis of Murine Retroviruses
Research: The major focus of the research being conducted in this laboratory is to determine the molecular basis for the pathogenesis of retrovirus-induced leukemia and neurological disease in rodents. Three separate but interrelated animal model systems are being studied.
Erythroleukemia Induced by the Friend Spleen Focus-forming Virus
The erythroleukemia-inducing Friend spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV) encodes a unique envelope glycoprotein which alters the growth of erythroid cells by rendering them independent of erythropoietin (EPO). In order to understand the mechanism by which SFFV causes EPO independence, we have been studying the signal transduction pathways activated by EPO and determining how they are altered by SFFV. Our results indicate that several members of the Stat family of latent transcription factors are rapidly, but transiently, activated by tyrosine phosphorylation in response to EPO, and that the same proteins are constitutively activated in erythroid cells infected with SFFV. Studies are in progress to determine the mechanism by which SFFV infection of erythroid cells leads to constih1tive activation of Stat proteins, and to determine whether the viral protein can activate other signal transduction pathways .
Leukemia Induced by a Myb-Ets-containing Retrovirus
The gag-myb-Ets-containing ME26 virus causes leukemia and anemia when injected into newborn mice. Our previous studies suggested that the virus was not transforming erythroid cells, but was causing leukemia by a unique mechanism involving the inappropriate activation of erythroid-specific genes in hematopoietic precursor cells. Studies undertaken to understand how ME26 virus induces EPO-responsiveness in hematopoietic cells showed that the viral protein transactivates the erythroid transcription factor GATA-1, and then cooperates with the GATA-1 protein to activate the EPO receptor gene. Studies are in progress to determine how the viral protein transactivates the GATA-1 gene, and how virus expression leads to the activation of some erythroid-specific genes, but not others.
Neurological Disease Induced by a Variant of Friend Murine Leukemia Virus
PVC-211 MuLV is a variant of the erythroleukemia-inducing Friend murine leukemia virus that causes a rapid neurodegenerative disease in rodents . We have been carrying out studies on this virus to determine the molecular basis for the change from leukemogenicity to neuropathogenicity. Our studies indicate that the envelope gene of PVC-211 MuLV is essential for its pathogenicity, and that there is a direct correlation between the ability of the virus to replicate in brain capillary endothelial cells (BCEC) and its ability to cause neurological disease. Studies are in progress to understand how replication of PVC-211 MuLV in BCEC results in the death of neurons. We have further shown that PVC-211 MuLV is unique among MuLV's in its ability to replicate efficiently in capillary endothelial cells, and that as few as two amino acid changes in its envelope protein are responsible. This unique property of PVC-211 MuLV is now being developed for use in gene therapy targeted to endothelial cells.
