Notizen:
A syndrome of in vitro properties correlates with the tumorigenicity of SV40-transformed rodent cells. These properties are plasminogen activator production, loss of large actin cables, and anchorage-independent growth. An established rat fibroblast line, its SV40 transformant, several T-antigen negative revertants, and a spontaneous retransformant isolated form one of the revertants were analyzed in vivo for their tumorigenicity and in vitro for the syndrome. The two transformed lines were highly tumorigenic, and had clearly abnormal in vitro properties. The parental rat line was weakly tumorigenic in nude mice and demonstrated a slightly transformed response in the in vitro assays. The revertants were completely nontumorigenic. Expression of the in vitro syndrome was not uniform for all revertants; however, most cell lines maintained the correlation of the syndrome and tumorigenicity.
