Abstract:
:Previous studies suggested that the decreased collagen production observed in Kirsten sarcoma virus (Ki-MSV)-transformed BALB 3T3 cells could be reversed by treating cells with Bt2cAMP. We examined the relationship between intracellular cAMP, collagen production, and other properties in NRK and BALB 3T3 cells transformed by Ki-MSV. Two 3T3 transformants (Ki-3T3-234 and Ki-3T3Cl1) had lower cAMP levels than nontransformed cells. The level in a temperature-sensitive transformant, tsKi-3T3-714, was similar to the level in its parent, 3T3-714, and when it was shifted to a temperature nonpermissive for transformation (40 degrees C), intracellular cAMP did not increase although the growth and morphological properties were normal. The relative rate of collagen production also increased to the normal level. These results indicate that transformation-induced changes were regulated independently of cAMP. Further observations supported this conclusion. Intracellular cAMP in a flat revertant of Ki-3T3Cl1 was lower, rather than higher, than in the transformant, although the relative rate of collagen production was higher. Treatment of Ki-3T3-234 and tsKi-3T3-714 with cholera toxin plus isobutylmethylxanthine increased intracellular cAMP concentrations to 2-20 times the level in untreated cells, levels much higher than in nontransformed 3T3. In spite of this, collagen production was not increased by these agents in tsKi-3T3-714 and it was only partially restored in Ki-3T3-234 relative to the level in the nontransformed cells. In contrast, these agents inhibited growth on a substratum or in soft agar and produced a flattened morphology in both lines. Similarly, collagen production in transformed NRK cells (K-NRK) was only 3% of normal but treatment with Bt2cAMP or cholera toxin plus isobutylmethylxanthine increased production to only one-third the normal level while increasing cAMP to four times the normal level. We conclude that in Ki-MSV-transformed BALB 3T3 cells, changes in cAMP may be secondary effects and not related to maintenance of the transformed phenotype. The high levels of cAMP induced by exogenous agents may act on similar targets as those affected by transformation, but reversal of the transformed phenotype by these agents probably occurs by a different mechanism than that originally used to impose the changes.
