Abstract
To determine its role in cell transformations, the v-src oncogene was introduced into the human foetal diploid fibroblasts MRC-5 and into MRC-SV1, a simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed cell line derived from them. Infected cells were found to contain stably integrated intact proviruses, as determined by Southern blot analysis. Although highly expressed, v-src did not change the morphology or growth patterns of MRC-5 cells and failed to induce foci or alter their saturation densities. However, overexpression of v-src reduced the plating efficiencies of MRC-5 and induced anchorage-independent growth in a low but significant number of cells. Northern blot analysis showed that v-src selectively abolished the expression of decorin, a small dermatan/chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan that interacts with extracellular-matrix components and modulates collagen-fibril formation and the activity of transforming growth factor (TGF) beta1. Addition of herbimycin A, a potent pp60src tyrosine-kinase inhibitor, resulted in the reexpression of decorin in MRC-5 carrying v-src. There were no changes in the expressions of fibronectin, procollagen type I, or tissue plasminogen activator, an activator of extracellular-matrix-degrading enzymes. Moreove...Continue Reading
