Two murine cell lines that overexpress v-sis/PDGF-2 were used to study the mechanism of cell transformation by SSV (simian sarcoma virus). In contrast to the parental cells that are phenotypically normal and serum-dependent for growth, v-sis-overexpressing cells grow in PDGF-free plasma medium, are unable to enter the G0 state and are highly tumorigenic. Analysis of the expression of some growth factor-induced early response genes in v-sis-overexpressing cells revealed: (a) high and constitutive c-myc mRNA levels in SSV-NRK cells; (b) unaltered levels of fra-1, fos B, jun B and krox 20 transcripts; (c) high and constitutive FOS staining due to c-FOS and FOS-related protein(s); (d) constitutive c-JUN and higher JUN D expression. These results are compatible with a model in which endogenous production of v-sis/PDGF-2 leads to deregulated expression of key cellular transregulators that, in turn, alter the cells' transcriptional program leading to the transformed state and malignancy.
