A role for cell cycle proteins in the serum-starvation resistance of EpsteinBarr virus immortalized B lymphocytes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a B-lymphotropic human herpes virus that infects B lymphocytes and is associated with a broad spectrum of benign and malignant diseases. B cell infection by EBV causes indefinite cell proliferation that results in the development of immortalized lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). We found that SNU-1103, a latency type III EBV-transformed LCL developed from a Korean cancer patient, resisted the G1 arrest that was normally caused by serum starvation. Western blot analyses revealed several alterations in the expression of key regulatory cell cycle proteins involved in the G1 phase. High expression of cyclin D2 and time-dependent increases in cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) and cyclin D3 were observed in SNU-1103 during serum starvation. Very unexpectedly, in SNU-1103, the key G1 phase CDK inhibitor p21CiP1 was expressed at a consistently high level, while p27KiP1 expression was increased. Of three pRb family proteins, pRb expression was reduced and it became hypophosphorylated in SNU-1103 during serum starvation. Instead, p107 and p130 were expressed at consistently high levels in SNU-1103 during serum starvation. In conclusion, compared with an EBV-negative BJAB cell line, multiple cell cycle regulatory proteins were abnormally or inversely expressed in SNU-1103 during serum starvation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
