Simian sarcoma virus (SSV)-infected NIH-3T3 cells (SSV-NIH-3T3), express a homologue of platelet-derived growth factor, (PDGF) a powerful inducer of the c-fos gene. We have used these cells to test the hypothesis that autocrine stimulation by PDGF-like molecules leads to c-fos expression which is functional in the transformed phenotype. We have transfected SSV-NIH-3T3 cells with a c-fos antisense-RNA expression vector, pSVsof, or control plasmids. pSVsof-transfected cells exhibit markedly decreased c-fos mRNA and protein levels, restored density-dependent growth arrest and reduced (three of five clones) tumorigenicity compared to control lines. The results confirm that c-fos cooperates in the transformed phenotype of SSV-NIH-3T3 cells.
