Reconstitution of p53 expression in a nonproducer Ab-MuLV-transformed cell line by transfection of a functional p53 gene
Abstract
L12 are Ab-MuLV-transformed cells that express the abl p120 oncogene product but lack the cellularly encoded p53. The functional p53 gene in these cells has been inactivated by the insertion of Moloney virus-like sequences into the first p53 intron. Transfection of L12 cells with a functional p53 gene, contained in a 16 kb Eco RI genomic cloned fragment gave rise to L12-derived cell lines with novel p53 sequences of various sizes and copy number. A high percentage of L12-derived clones efficiently transcribed p53 mRNA and synthesized the p53 protein. Whereas injection of L12 parental cells into syngeneic mice caused the development of local tumors that later regressed, L12-derived clones that expressed p53 caused lethal tumors in syngeneic mice, thus behaving similarly to other Ab-MuLV-transformed p53-producer cell lines. These results suggest that the expression of p53 is essential for tumor cells to exhibit a fully transformed phenotype, manifested in lethal tumors in syngeneic mice.
