Abstract
Transformation of both rat and chicken fibroblasts by the src oncogene leads to a four- to fivefold increase in the rate of glucose transport and in the level of the glucose transporter protein. We have previously shown that, with chicken embryo fibroblasts, transformation leads to a reduction in the rate of degradation of the transporter, with little or no increase in the rate of its biosynthesis. We now show that, with the rat-1 cell line, the opposite result was obtained. src-induced transformation led to an increase in transporter biosynthesis, with little effect on turnover. A src-induced increase in transporter mRNA entirely accounted for the increase in biosynthesis of the protein. By contrast, in chicken embryo fibroblasts, the level of transporter mRNA was low and was not induced to rise by src transformation. Thus, src induced an increase in the level of the glucose transport protein by fundamentally different mechanisms in chicken embryo fibroblasts and rat-1 cells. To test whether this difference was due to rat-1 cells being an immortalized cell line, we measured transporter mRNA levels in primary fibroblast cultures from rat embryos and in parallel cultures transformed by src. Transporter mRNA was inducible by src in these cells. Thus, the difference in mRNA inducibility between chicken and rat cells is not due to immortalization.
