To explore the biological function of DDX3 on cell growth control, a colony formation assay was done in
several tumor cell lines (HuH - 7, HCT116, and HeLa) and normal murine fibroblast cells (NIH 3T3) under the selection of G418.

Flavopiridol inhibits
several cellular kinases and has demonstrated cytostatic and cytotoxic activity in vitro and in vivo in numerous human

Important features of XMRV biology include (1) tropism for a variety of
cell lines, including prostate cancer DU145 and LNCaP
cells [27], [43], [48], and human neural
cell types [57], (2) adaptations that promote growth in prostate epithelium and human - derived prostate cancer
cell lines including an androgen response element in the promoter region [58] and downregulation of APOBEC3G [59], and (3) cellular effects with potential oncogenic properties including increased
tumor aggressiveness mediated by downregulation of p27 [60] and differential regulation of
several microRNAs [61].
