Galectin-3 mRNA level depends on transformation phenotype in ras-transformed NIH 3T3 cells

Summary— The increase in galectin-3 lectin content observed in tumours or in in vitro transformed cells suggests that this lectin is important in the transformation process. In the present study, we investigated the mRNA expression level of the galectin-3, galectin-I and macrophage mannose receptor in normal and ras-transformed NIH 3T3 cells in relation to their transformation state. The galectin3 mRNA content in ras-transformed cells is increased in fully transformed cells, with a maximum in ras-transformed cells that have lost their growth anchorage-dependence. Under the same conditions, the galectin-1 mRNA level which was high in normal cells, increased slightly in transformed cells. The mRNA for the macrophage mannose receptor was not detected in 3T3 cells or in their ras-transformed counterparts.     

Transformation of NIH 3T3 cells by enhanced PAR expression

Prostate androgen regulated (PAR) is a 1038bp novel gene located on chromosome 1 in epidermal differentiation complex. The gene is ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues and is overexpressed in most of their malignant counterparts. PAR cellular function is unknown. Here we report the effect of increased PAR expression induced by transfection of PAR cDNA on NIH3T3 cell phenotype. PAR-NIH3T3 transfectants expressing 3- to 4-fold higher PAR levels compared to controls grew faster in tissue cultures, formed colonies in soft agar, and exhibited a shortening of G1 and S phases of cell cycle and formed tumors in SCID mice. Transfection of NIH3T3 cells with increased ectopic PAR expression with a 22 mer oligonucleotide in antisense orientation with PAR mRNA abrogated their ability to form colonies in soft agar. The data presented here along with our previously reported results on DU145 cells transfected with antisense PAR cDNA suggest that PAR gene behaves like a proto-oncogene.

Expression of Nanog gene promotes NIH3T3 cell proliferation

Cells are the functional elements in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. A large number of cells are usually needed for these purposes. However, there are numbers of limitations for in vitro cell proliferation. Nanog is an important self-renewal determinant in embryonic stem cells. However, it remains unknown whether Nanog will influence the cell cycle and cell proliferation of mature cells. In this study, we expressed Nanog in NIH3T3 cells and showed that expression of Nanog in NIH3T3 promoted cells to enter into S phase and enhanced cell proliferation. This suggests that Nanog gene might function in a similar fashion in mature cells as in ES cells. In addition, it may provide an approach for in vitro cell expansion.

Aspects of cellular physiology that influence DNA-mediated gene transfer in NIH3T3 cells

Cellular physiology has a significant influence on the efficiency of various gene transfer procedures, as shown by the fact that transfection efficiency varies dramatically among different cell lines. However, the aspects of cellular physiology which influence the transfection process remain substantially uncharacterized. In this study, NIH3T3 cells were treated with inhibitors of protein synthesis, DNA synthesis, and RNA synthesis to determine the importance of these processes in the calcium-phosphate transfection process. The results suggest that protein synthesis during the first 4 h after DNA addition enhances transfection. In contrast, inhibition of RNA synthesis has no effect on transfection during the first 24 h post-DNA addition. The DNA synthesis inhibitor results remain inconclusive due to a secondary inhibition of an unknown cellular factor. Secondly, agents that destabilize microtubules, microfilaments, and the golgi apparatus were used to determine whether these elements play a role in the transfection process. The results suggest that microtubules are not involved in the transfection process, microfilaments are important but not necessary for the transfection process, and a functional golgi apparatus is essential early in the transfection process. These studies provide a foundation from which further investigations into the cellular processes involved in the uptake and expression of exogenous DNA can proceed.     

Simulated microgravity influences circadian rhythm of NIH3T3 cells

Gravity heavily influences living organisms on earth including their circadian rhythm, which is fundamentally important for coordinately physiology in organisms as diverse as cyanobacteria, fungus and humans. Numerous researches have revealed that microgravity in outer space can affect circadian rhythm of astronauts and rodent animals, but the mechanism remains unknown. Using rotary cell culture system to simulate microgravity environment, we investigated the role of simulated microgravity in regulating the circadian rhythm of NIH3T3 cells. Our experiments found that simulated microgravity can not only influence the mRNA level of some core circadian genes, but also modify the circadian rhythm of Per1 and Per2 synchronized after phorbol myristate acetate treatment. Remarkably, MEK/ERK pathway was transiently activated after a 2-h simulated microgravity treatment, with a significant upregulation of Kras, Raf1 and p-ERK1/ERK2. Moreover, U0126, a selective inhibitor of MEK/ERK pathway, could disrupt the circadian rhythm of Per1 and Per2 synchronized after simulated microgravity treatment. Together, our results unveil that simulated microgravity could act like a zeitgeber to influence the circadian rhythm of NIH3T3 by acting on MEK/ERK pathway, indicating that MEK/ERK pathway may act as a bridge which connects cells mechanotransduction pathway and circadian rhythm regulation.     

Transformed phenotype conferred to NIH/3T3 cells by ectopic expression of heparin-binding growth factor 1/acidic fibroblast growth factor

Summary Heparin-binding growth factor 1 (HBGF-1), also known as acidic fibroblast growth factor, is a potent mitogen and angiogenic factor found in tissues such as brain, kidney and heart. The genomic and cDNA sequences indicate that HBGF-1 does not have a typical signal peptide sequence. HBGF-1 was shown to be localized to the extracellular matrix of cardiac myocytes, but the mechanism of secretion is not presently known. We have cloned the HBGF-1 cDNA which allowed us to directly test the biological activity, mechanism of secretion and transforming potential of the recombinant protein. A previous report showed that the truncated HBGF-1 confers partial transformed phenotype to the recipient fibroblasts. However, expression of full-length HBGF-1 has not been reported. The HBGF-1 coding sequence was cloned into the retroviral expression vector, SVX, and transfected into NIH/3T3 cells. Transfectants expressing full-length HBGF-1 protein at high levels form foci and grow to a higher cell density than the parental NIH/3T3 cells. Western blotting analysis showed that the recombinant HBGF-1 is a unique band of approximately 20 kDa and can be detected in the cell homogenate but not in the conditioned medium. NIH/3T3 cells were conferred anchorage independence when HBGF-1 was provided exogenously. We showed the transformed cells are capable of growing on soft agar even in the absence of exogenously-provided HBGF-1. Transfected cells expressing HBGF-1 also induced tumor formation when injected into nude mice. Thus, NIH/3T3 cells acquired a full spectrum of transformed phenotype when full length HBGF-1 was expressed at high levels.
