Growth factor requirements of normal and polyomavirus middle T gene transformed REF52 cells in serum-free medium: indications of a reduced vasopressin requirement and its relationship to the control of phosphatidylinositol metabolism.

Abstract：

:The growth factor requirement of normal and polyomavirus middle T gene transformed REF52 cells was studied in serum-free medium in an attempt to elucidate the possible linkage between an altered growth factor requirement and one or more altered physiological properties of the transformed cells. For optimal growth, REF52 cells required vasopressin, epidermal growth factor (EGF), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), hydrocortisone, insulin, transferrin, and fibronectin. Deletion of vasopressin or hydrocortisone from the medium resulted in a 50 to 60% reduction in cell growth and the deletion of HDL, transferrin, or the combination of EGF and vasopressin led to an 80 to 90% growth retardation. The same medium supported the growth of the transformed variant (PyMLV-REF52) at a rate comparable to that of 10% serum, and deletion of hydrocortisone, vasopressin, or the combination of EGF and vasopressin had virtually no effect on PyMLV-REF52 cell growth. In vasopressin-deleted medium, vasopressin elicited a rapid increase of intracellular inositol phosphate levels in REF52 cells and the control of phosphoinositide turnover was strictly regulated. In contrast, both cell proliferation and intracellular inositol phosphate levels of PyMLV-REF52 cells were not affected by vasopressin treatment under identical culture conditions, and control of phosphoinositide metabolism was lost. Thus, a correlation may exist between the trigger of a mitogenic signal and the stimulation of the phosphoinositol pathway by vasopressin in REF52 cells and this relationship was disrupted in PyMLV-REF52 cells.
