Serum factor requirements of normal and simian virus 40-transformed 3T3 mouse fibroplasts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evidence is presented to show the presence in normal rat serum of four different serum factors essential for growth of 3T3 or SV40-transformed 3T3 mouse fibroblasts: a factor that specifically promotes growth of normal 3T3 cells; two factors that specifically promote growth of transformed 3T3 cells; and a factor that sustains viability of both normal and transformed 3T3 cells in serum-free medium, probably without inducing growth of the cells. These factors are separated and partially purified.

Constitutive synthesis of activator protein 1 transcription factor after viral transformation of mouse fibroblasts.
Transcription factor activator protein 1 (AP1) interacts with the promoter region of a number of genes that are stimulated by growth factors present in serum or by agents such as phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) that partially mimic their action. To investigate the possible role of AP1 in the control of cellular growth and in transformation of mammalian cells, we monitored its activity by ...
متن کاملDifferential responsiveness of normal and simian virus 40-transformed BALB/c 3T3 cells to retinoic acid: rapid enhancement of epidermal growth factor receptor binding in a simian virus 40-3T3 variant.
The effects of retinoic acid on the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor binding and cell growth of normal and simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed BALB/c 3T3 cells were compared under identical culture conditions. Retinoic acid induced a rapid enhancement of EGF binding to SV40-transformed cells. Half-maximal enhancement occurred at about 7 h after the cells were exposed to 20 ng/ml of retinoi...
متن کاملDistinct proteolytic mechanisms in serum-sufficient and serum-restricted fibroblasts. Transformed 3T3 cells fail to regulate proteolysis in relation to culture density only during serum-sufficiency.
Thymidine incorporation (reflecting cell division), degradation of long-half-life proteins and protein synthesis were compared in normal Swiss mouse 3T3 fibroblasts and their counterparts transformed by simian virus 40 at both high and low culture densities (no. of cells/cm2). Normal cells maintained faster proteolysis at high culture density than at low. Degradation was in all conditions enhan...
متن کاملDetection and quantitation of simian virus 40 genetic material in abortively transformed BALB-3T3 clones (mice-diploid cells-virus equivalents).
Infection with simian virus 40 is known to induce many cells to synthesize DNA and to divide in a medium lacking serum protein growth factor(s) that is essential for growth of uninfected cells (factor-free medium). Cells infected under these conditions then go through several rounds of division, since colonies containing more than 100 cells are formed. Many of these colonies are abortively tran...
متن کاملMutation causing temperature-sensitive expression of cell transformation by a tumor virus (SV40-3T3 mouse cells-growth control).
A procedure has been devised to isolate 3T3 mouse fibroblasts transformed by simian virus 40 (SV40) that express their transformed phenotype at low (32 degrees C) but not at high (39 degrees C) temperature. Three parameters typical of malignant growth in vitro: (a) high saturation density in culture, (b) ability to form colonies on monolayers of normal 3T3 cells, and (c) lack of contact inhibit...
