Rates of uptake and intracellular concentrations of monovalent cations were measured in virus-transformed and nontransformed chick embryo (CE) cells. Uptake of 22Na+ into cells transformed by the BH strain of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV-BH) (CE-BH) was about double the rate of uptake into CE cells, or cells transformed by the Schmidt-Ruppin strain (RSV-SR): CE-SR. Likewise, the rate of efflux of 22Na+ was greater in CE-BH cells than in CE or CE-SR cells. The greater permeability of CE-BH cells to Na+ was apparent in higher intracellular Na+ concentrations. Experiments with cells exhibiting temperature-dependent transformation showed that new RNA and protein synthesis was a requirement for the acquisition of increased Na+ permeability, suggesting that the change is an indirect effect of the virus-coded transformation-inducing protein. Rates of 86Rb+ uptake, used as a measure of K+ influx, were indistinguishable in CE, CE-BH, and CE-SR cells. Also, equilibrium intracellular levels of 86Rb+ were similar in transformed and nontransformed cells, as were observed concentrations of K+. Also, no differences in ATPase activity, as indicated by ouabain binding or temperature sensitivity, were observed. We conclude that monovalent cations play no direct role in RSV-induced transformation, although the higher levels of Na+ in CE-BH cells may be responsible for other distinguishing biochemical features of these cells.
