Stimulation of quiescent fibroblasts to growth by polypeptide growth factors is accompanied by the rapid induction of c-fos and c-myc proto-oncogenes. In contrast to fibroblasts, A431 cells respond to epidermal growth factor (EGF) with a decreased growth rate. Here we report that, in spite of its growth inhibitory effect, EGF rapidly induces transient expression of c-fos mRNA, followed by the synthesis of nuclear c-fos protein. In addition, EGF treatment resulted in elevated levels of c-myc expression. Practically identical results were obtained with variant A431 clones that are resistant to the inhibitory effect of EGF on cell proliferation. These observations suggest that in A431 cells c-fos and c-myc induction is a primary consequence of growth factor-receptor interaction. Indeed, efficient induction of both genes was also observed with cyanide bromide-cleaved EGF, which has previously been shown to be non-mitogenic but able to trigger early events induced by EGF. We observed strong induction of c-fos and to a lesser extent of c-myc also by TPA, and by the calcium ionophore A23187, indicating an important role for kinase C in proto-oncogene activation by growth factors. 相似文献

We have investigated the effects of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha) in C3H10T1/2 cells, on S phase entry and early gene activation events associated with cell cycle progression. We find that EGF and TGF alpha, which both utilize the EGF receptor for signal generation, are able to stimulate DNA synthesis in these cells with nearly superimposable kinetics; however, the stimulation by TGF alpha was slightly greater at nearly all time points assayed. This report is the first showing that TGF alpha, like EGF, vigorously induces c-myc and c-fos gene expression in these cells. A significant stimulation of c-myc and c-fos mRNA levels is observed with both TGF alpha and EGF; c-myc mRNA levels show an 8-fold induction with both mitogens, while c-fos inductions were on the order of 12 to 14-fold at maximum. However, the induction of c-myc mRNA by TGF alpha has slower kinetics than by EGF. 相似文献

Effects of epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor on c-fos and c-myc mRNA levels in normal human fibroblasts 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The mRNA levels of two proto-oncogenes, c-fos and c-myc, were determined in human foreskin fibroblasts exposed to epidermal growth factor (EGF) or platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in a serum-free, defined medium (MCDB 104). Untreated, quiescent cells were found to have low or undetectable levels of c-fos and c-myc mRNA. Within 10 min after the addition of EGF or PDGF the c-fos mRNA level increased, reached a peak at 30 min, and then declined to the control level after 60 min. The level of c-myc mRNA increased somewhat later and peaked after 8 h in cultures treated with either of the growth factors. The c-myc mRNA level remained elevated throughout the 24 h of investigation. The concentrations of EGF and PDGF required for a maximal effect on c-fos or c-myc expression were found to be similar to those that give maximal effect on cell proliferation. Both c-fos and c-myc mRNA expression were super-induced by the addition of cycloheximide. The addition of neutralizing PDGF antibodies to cultures that had received PDGF 4 h earlier inhibited the subsequent increase in the c-myc mRNA level, indicating that the effect of PDGF on c-myc expression is not caused by a "hit and run," mechanism. Density-inhibited cells responded to EGF and PDGF by an increase in c-fos and c-myc mRNA levels in the absence of any mitogenic response. The present results conform to the view that the c-fos and c-myc proto-oncogenes may be important (or necessary) but not sufficient for the initiation of DNA synthesis. Moreover, the finding that both EGF and PDGF increase c-fos and c-myc expression supports our previous suggestion that these two growth factors may in part act via a common intracellular pathway in the prereplicative phase of human fibroblasts. 相似文献

Two independent growth factor-generated signals regulate c-fos and c-myc mRNA levels in Swiss 3T3 cells 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Polypeptide growth factors that stimulate cell proliferation bind to cell surface receptors and activate intracellular signal transduction pathways. One major signalling pathway, initiated by phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover, involves activation of protein kinase C. Some polypeptide growth factors, including mitogens that activate protein kinase C, induce a rapid increase in expression of the proto-oncogenes, c-myc and c-fos. In order to characterize the signal transduction pathways responsible for proto-oncogene activation, we treated Swiss 3T3 cells with the tumor promoter phorbol dibutyrate to generate cells deficient in protein kinase C. These cells were then stimulated with platelet extract, bombesin, or epidermal growth factor (EGF) and the levels of c-myc and c-fos mRNA were determined. Platelet extract or bombesin, which stimulate PI turnover, were substantially weaker inducers of c-myc and c-fos mRNA levels in the protein kinase C-depleted cells, although some variability with platelet extract was noted. EGF, which does not stimulate PI turnover in several cell systems, was by contrast a potent inducer of both proto-oncogenes whether or not the cells were deficient in protein kinase C. Pretreatment of cells with phorbol dibutyrate caused little or no change in the basal levels of c-myc or c-fos mRNA, but led to a small but significant increase in basal levels of ornithine decarboxylase mRNA. These results demonstrate that EGF and growth factors that activate PI turnover induce expression of the c-myc and c-fos proto-oncogenes through different pathways. 相似文献

With multiple divisions in culture, normal diploid cells suffer a loss of growth potential that leads to replicative senescence and a finite replicative capacity. Using quantitative RT-PCR, we have monitored mRNA expression levels of c-fos, c-jun, JunB, c-myc, p53, H-ras, and histone H4 during the replicative senescence of human fibroblasts. The earliest and the largest changes in gene expression occurred in c-fos and junB at mid-senescence prior to the first slowing in cell growth rates. The basal level of c-fos mRNA decreased to one-ninth that of the early-passage levels, while junB declined to one-third and c-jun expression remained constant. The decline in the basal c-fos mRNA level in mid-senescence should lead to an increase in Jun/Jun AP-1 homodimers at the expense of Fos/Jun heterodimers and may trigger a cascade of further changes in c-myc, p53, and H-ras expression in late-passage senescent fibroblasts. 相似文献

tsJT16 is a G0/G1 ts mutant from the Fischer rat fibroblast line. It has a ts defect in a function operating early after growth stimulation with fetal bovine serum (FBS). A primarily induced gene product, p70, was not synthesized at 40 degrees C after stimulation with serum, while c-fos and c-myc mRNAs accumulated under the same condition. This paper reports that p70 was synthesized following stimulation of G0-arrested cells with platelet-derived growth factor, epidermal growth factor (EGF), and 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) at 34 degrees C, but not at 40 degrees C. However, it was synthesized at both temperatures after addition of A23187. In protein kinase C-deprived cells, peptide growth factors and A23187 induced p70 at 34 degrees C, whereas TPA did not. Fibroblast growth factor and insulin did not induce p70. Induction of c-fos and c-myc occurred at both temperatures after the stimulation with FBS, TPA or A23187. These results indicated that the defect in tsJT16 to induce p70 is likely to be located at the common downstream of protein kinase C-dependent and -independent pathways, but is independent from the pathway of calcium mobilization. 相似文献

Persistence of the competent state in mouse fibroblasts is independent of c-fos and c-myc expression
Induction of competence in quiescent fibroblasts by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is accompanied by a dramatic increase in the expression of c-fos and c-myc genes. However, the maintenance of the competent state and progression through G1 does not require high expression of these proto-oncogenes. These results suggest that the induction of c-fos and c-myc by growth factors in quiescent fibroblasts may be required to render the cells competent for progression. 相似文献

We investigated the structure and the expression of various oncogenes in three of the most common human bone tumors—osteosarcoma (36 samples from 34 patients), giant cell tumor (10 patients), and chondrosarcoma (18 patients)—in an attempt to identify the genetic alterations associated with these malignancies. Alterations of RB and p53 were detected only in osteosarcomas. Alterations of c-myc, N-myc, and c-fos were detected in osteosarcomas and giant cell tumors. Ras alterations (H-ras, Ki-ras, N-ras) were rare. Chondrosarcomas did not contain any detectable genetic alterations. Our results suggest that alterations of c-myc, N-myc, and c-fos oncogenes occur in osteosarcomas, in addition to those previously described for the tumor suppressor genes RB and p53. Moreover, statistical analyses indicate that c-fos alterations occur more frequently in osteosarcoma patients with recurrent or metastatic disease. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The MDA-468 human breast cancer cell line has an amplified epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor gene (20 x) and correspondingly overexpresses the EGF receptor. Since this cell line is growth inhibited by supra-physiological levels of EGF in tissue culture, it has been possible to select variant cells which have lost the chromosome bearing the amplified EGF receptor domain and which are capable of growing in high levels of EGF. One such cell line (MDA-468-S4) shows an absolute requirement for EGF for growth in anchorage-independent tissue culture conditions. We have utilized MDA-468 and MDA-468-S4 to examine the intracellular transduction of EGF signals leading to growth inhibition and proliferation, respectively. We report that in anchorage-independent conditions, pertussis toxin can abrogate both the EGF-dependent growth inhibition in MDA-468 cells and the EGF-dependent cell proliferation in MDA-468-S4 cells. This inhibition is paralleled by the ADP-ribosylation of an endogenous 41,000-dalton membrane protein in both MDA-468 and MDA-468-S4 cells. In contrast, the toxin does not prevent the transient, augmented expression of c-myc and c-fos mRNA seen in response to EGF in both cell types. These data suggest 1) the notion of more than one simultaneous, parallel, intracellular EGF-dependent signal transduction pathway and 2) G-protein involvement in at least one pathway mandatory for the growth modulating responses to EGF in anchorage-independent conditions, but distinct from that inducing c-myc and c-fos mRNA expression. 相似文献

Growth-arrested rat fibroblasts, 3Y1, and human diploid fibroblasts, TIG-1, were induced to synthesize DNA by stimulation with various agents such as fetal bovine serum (FBS), epidermal growth factor (EGF), colcemid, or colchicine. Taxol, a microtubule-stabilizing agent, blocked the induction of DNA synthesis after stimulation with colcemid or colchicine in both cell lines. Taxol inhibited the induction of DNA synthesis after stimulation with FBS or EGF in TIG-1, but did not in 3Y1. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) induced DNA synthesis in TIG-1, which was reduced only partly by taxol. Taxol stabilized or polymerized microtubules in both cell lines. These results indicate that the inhibitory effect of taxol on the induction of DNA synthesis varied among cell lines and among growth factors, and suggest that signal transduction processes may be differentiated by taxol sensitivity. In TIG-1 cells, when taxol was added within 6 h, about halfway into the initiation of DNA synthesis after the addition of FBS or EGF, the inhibition of DNA synthesis still occurred. Taxol did not inhibit the induction of c-fos and c-myc genes by FBS or EGF stimulation. Colchicine itself did not induce these genes in TIG-1. Thus, taxol appeared to inhibit the induction of DNA synthesis not by blockage in the early transduction process of the growth signal from the cell surface to nuclei but by blockage in processes operating in the mid- or late-prereplicative phase. 相似文献

Regulation of proto-oncogenes in rat parotid acinar cells in vitro after stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Stimulation of beta-adrenoreceptors in rat parotid acinar cells in vitro by the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol induces steady-state levels of c-fos mRNA and c-fos protein in these cells. A dramatic increase in the steady-state levels of c-fos mRNA was observed at 60 min, followed by a decrease at 2 h with a second peak at 4 h. c-fos induction in rat parotid acinar cells in vitro seems to be mediated by cAMP. Increased levels of p53 and c-myc mRNA were detected only at 60 min. c-abl and c-sis were also induced by isoproterenol but in a pattern different from that seen with c-fos. c-abl was the only oncogene in rat parotid gland which showed increased expression after chronic isoproterenol treatment of rats. In rat parotid acinar cells we observed no correlation between DNA synthesis and c-fos induction. 相似文献

Anchorage-independent growth of normal rat kidney (NRK) fibroblast in soft agar depends on both transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) and epidermal growth factor (EGF). To examine whether c-fos protein is involved in phenotypic transformation of NRK cells, we have transfected and isolated several NRK cell lines that carry the human c-fos gene fused to the metallothionein IIA promoter. A transfectant, Nf-1, had constitutive levels of the human c-fos expression. Anchorage-independent growth of Nf-1 was already stimulated by EGF alone, and the colony sizes of Nf-1 were comparable to those of the parental NRK in the presence of both EGF and TGF beta. Anchorage-independent growth of NRK could be observed in the presence of TGF beta or retinoic acid or platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and EGF. No growth of NRK in soft agar appeared when basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and EGF were present. By contrast, anchorage-independent growth of Nf-1 was surprisingly enhanced by EGF and TGF beta or retinoic acid or PDGF or bFGF. Expression of the human c-fos gene may compensate the signal to phenotypic transformation induced by TGF beta as well as retinoic acid or PDGF or bFGF. 相似文献

The proliferation of dog thyrocytes in primary culture is stimulated by three distinct intracellular signaling pathways: (1) the thyrotropin or forskolin-cyclic AMP-mediated cascade which is compatible with the differentiated state of the cell; (2) the protein kinase C pathway activated by diacylglycerol and phorbol esters; and (3) a protein tyrosine kinase system activated by epidermal growth factor. The two latter pathways also induce dedifferentiation. The activation of the three cascades induced the expression of the protooncogenes c-fos and c-myc with dose-response curves similar to those for DNA synthesis. After TPA and EGF, the time courses of stimulation of c-fos and c-myc were the same as those for mitogenically stimulated fibroblasts. However, after the cyclic AMP stimulation, c-myc expression was biphasic with an enhancement at 1 h followed by a down-regulation. A similar inhibition by cyclic AMP was also observed on the increased c-myc expression induced by EGF. This down-regulation is suppressed by cycloheximide, which suggests the involvement of a neosynthesized or a labile protein intermediate. The action of cyclic AMP on c-myc mRNA levels could be related to the opposite requirements of the stimulation of both proliferation and differentiation expression by the cyclic AMP pathway in the differentiated thyrocytes. 相似文献

We investigated the role of wild-type p53 and c-myc activity in apoptosis induced by a combination of natural human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and natural human interferon alpha (IFN-alpha). Studies were performed with two human non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines, H226b, which has wild-type p53, and H226br, which has a mutant p53. The combination of IFN-alpha and TNF-alpha significantly inhibited cell growth and induced apoptotic cell death of both H226b and H226br, compared with IFN-alpha or TNF-alpha alone. Treatment with one or both cytokines did not affect the expression level of p53 in both cell lines. These results suggest that the combination of IFN-alpha/TNF-alpha induces apoptotic cell death through a p53- independent pathway. The c-myc oncogene is known to be involved in apoptosis induced by TNF. Antisense c-myc oligonucleotides have been reported to modulate cell growth or apoptosis in several cell lines. Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides were added to the culture of H226br cells before the addition of IFN-alpha/TNF-alpha. Antisense c-myc inhibited IFN-alpha/TNF-alpha cytotoxicity and apoptotic cell death. In conclusion, this study provides support for the speculation that TNF-alpha/IFN-alpha induce apoptosis through a c-myc-dependent pathway rather than a p53-dependent pathway.

It has been reported that both c-fos and c-myc mRNAs are induced in NIH/3T3 cells after 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) treatment. We have studied the effect of TPA on the expression of c-fos and c-myc in EJ-ras-transformed NIH/3T3 and its nontumorigenic flat revertant R1 cells. Although TPA treatment induces c-myc mRNA, as in the case of NIH/3T3 cells, the induced level of c-fos mRNA is greatly reduced not only in slow-growing EJ-ras-transformed NIH/3T3 but also in quiescent R1 cells. In addition, serum-induced c-fos expression is also reduced in EJ-ras-transformed NIH/3T3 and R1 cells. These observations suggest that the pathway from TPA to c-fos gene is different from that to c-myc gene and that the former pathway is down-regulated in association not with the transformed phenotype, but with EJ-ras expression, and it is possible that this reduced induction of c-fos is not specific to TPA. 相似文献
