Glycolysis and methylaminoisobutyrate uptake in rat-1 cells transfected with ras or myc oncogenes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A high rate of aerobic glycolysis was catalyzed by rat-1 cells transfected with a ras oncogene (ras cells); rat-1 cells and rat-1 cells transfected with myc oncogene (myc cells) showed a low rate of glycolysis that was increased after exposure of the cells to type B transforming growth factor (TGF-beta). The uptake of radioactive methylaminoisobutyric acid or L-methionine via system A of amino acid transport also was accelerated after exposure of these cells to TGF-beta, with the myc cells being most sensitive and the ras cells least sensitive. Methionine was found to be a potent inhibitor of glycolysis in ras cells as well as in rat-1 or myc cells that were exposed to TGF-beta. We propose a relationship between the product of the ras oncogene (p21) and the protein(s) induced by exposure to TGF-beta.

Polyamine metabolism and interconversion in NIH 3T3 and ras-transfected NIH 3T3 cells.
The effect of transfection of NIH 3T3 cells by the human ras (c-Ha-ras-1) oncogene on uptake, interconversion, and excretion of polyamines was studied. Uptake and interconversion of spermidine were higher in the ras-transfected cells. Acetylpolyamines were excreted into the medium by the ras-transfected cells, whereas they were retained by NIH 3T3 cells. In addition to acetylpolyamines, some un...
متن کاملHorizontal transfer of oncogenes by uptake of apoptotic bodies.
Tumor formation involves the accumulation of a series of genetic alterations that are required for malignant growth. In most malignancies, genetic changes can be observed at the chromosomal level as losses or gains of whole or large portions of chromosomes. Here we provide evidence that tumor DNA may be horizontally transferred by the uptake of apoptotic bodies. Phagocytosis of apoptotic bodies...
متن کاملTransfection of cardiac muscle: effects of overexpression of c-myc and c-fos proto-oncogene proteins in primary cultures of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes.
1. Studies of cells transfected with specific expression vectors allow functions of specific gene products to be investigated. We first established optimum conditions for transfection of neonatal cardiac myocytes in primary culture. Increased proto-oncogene expression has been implicated in the development of cardiac hypertrophy; we therefore wished to examine the effects of overexpression of t...
متن کاملCoinfection with viruses carrying the v-Ha-ras and v-myc oncogenes leads to growth factor independence by an indirect mechanism.
The concomitant expression of certain oncogenes can transform normal diploid rodent cells into transplantable tumorigenic cells. The mechanism by which these oncogenes collaborate is unclear. Recent findings (M. Oshimura, T. M. Gilmer, and J. C. Barrett, Nature [London] 316:636-639, 1985) raise the possibility that karyotypic changes, including monosomy for chromosome 15, are required to induce...
متن کاملStimulation of glycolysis and amino acid uptake in NRK-49F cells by transforming growth factor beta and epidermal growth factor.
Glycolysis in normal resting rat kidney cells (NRK-49F) was stimulated by a 2-hr exposure to transforming growth factors prior to assay. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) was effective when added alone, and further addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF) had little effect. The stimulation by TGF-beta was abolished when cycloheximide was present during the incubation, suggesting that ...
