To determine the role of c-abl during cell growth, we constructed a retrovirus vector alpha A, capable of expressing an antisense RNA directed against the abl mRNA. Based on v-abl-mediated 3T3 transformation assay, we showed that the number of transformed foci was reduced 50-94% when alpha A-infected 3T3 cells were superinfected with A-MuLV. Up to a 100% of inhibition could be observed when the time of infection was lengthened. Introduction of the antisense sequence into NIH3T3 cells resulted in reduction of growth rate. These cells entered into S phase from G1 phase of the cell cycle earlier in time than untransduced cells. Thus c-abl serves as a checkpoint during G1/S transition in the cell cycle, and its reduction resulted in deregulation of cell growth.
