Characterization of an SV40-transformed 3T3 cell line expressing an unusual phenotype.

Abstract:

:A transformed variant derived as a clone from normal 3T3 cells infected with simian virus 40 (SV40) has been found to possess a phenotype intermediate between that of normal cells and that characteristic of the transformed state, yet cells of the variant still test positively for the SV40-specific nuclear T-antigen. The variant exercises growth control, although not as stringently as do normal cells. Its cell size more closely resembles that of normal cells than of transformed cells. The variant also exhibits levels of spontaneous agglutination that are in line with those characteristic of the normal cells from which it was derived, and far higher than corresponding values for cells exhibiting the fully transformed phenotype. Plasma membranes of variant cells more closely resemble those of transformed cells than of normal cells as estimated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of the transformed variant is its complete immunity to agglutination by concanavalin A (Con A), even at concentrations of the lectin as high as 500 mug/ml. Moreover, trypsinization does not render variant cells as agglutinable in the presence of Con A as are untreated fully transformed cells. By contrast the variant displays a low tolerance of Con A toxicity, as monitored by ability to grow after treatment with the lectin, and on this count resembles transformed cells. Moreover a survey of several normal cell lines has revealed that even they do not consistently show resistance to Con A toxicity. These observations indicate that Con A-mediated agglutination and inability to grow after treatment with Con A are quite independent and do not bear a cause and effect relationship.

  • Rap1: a key regulator in cell-cell junction formation.

    abstract::Rap1 is a Ras-like small GTPase that is activated by many extracellular stimuli and strongly implicated in the control of integrin-mediated cell adhesion. Recent evidence indicates that Rap1 also plays a key role in formation of cadherin-based cell-cell junctions. Indeed, inhibition of Rap1 generates immature adherens...
