Abstract

We have studied the effects of c-Ha-ras oncogene in mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts by DNA transfection and analysis of gene expression at the mRNA and protein level in a heat- and heavy metal-inducible model system. The human c-Ha-ras proto-oncogene and oncogene were cloned under the hsp70 heat-shock promoter. Clonal lines of cells with negligible basal expression of the hsp-c-Ha-ras oncogene construct were chosen on the basis of the inducibility of p21c-Ha-ras protein and several transformation parameters. We demonstrate that the expression of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) mRNA is enhanced approximately 4-6 h after the induction of the p21c-Ha-ras oncoprotein. This increase was reversible upon cessation of c-Ha-ras mRNA and protein synthesis, while constitutively elevated ODC was characteristic for stably c-Ha-ras-transformed cells. The high-level expression of ODC in ras-transformed cells was insensitive to tumour promoter stimulation. A similar mRNA induction by c-Ha-rasVal-12 was also observed for two other serum- and tumour promoter-regulated genes associated with the transformed phenotype: transin (stromelysin) and the glucose transporter. This prompted us to examine also potential changes in the expression of the serum- and tumour promoter-induced transcription factor genes junB and c-jun after induction of the hsp--c-Ha-ras construct. The junB mRNA was enhanced approximately 10-fold and the c-jun oncogene mRNA to a lesser degree in the hsp--c-Ha-ras-transfected cells after zinc activation of the hsp70 promoter. These effects were not seen in similarly treated control cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
