Abstract
In BALB/c-3T3 cells, expression of the c-myc gene is stimulated by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). Using mouse mammary tumour virus promoter: c-myc recombinant plasmids, 3T3 sublines were constructed in which hydrocortisone was the primary determinant of myc mRNA content. The c-myc gene product is an intracellular mediator of the growth response to PDGF though probably not the only one. Both the human and the mouse c-myc genes stimulate clonal growth of 3T3 cells in PDGF-free medium suggesting new strategies for analysis of oncogenes which do not function in focus formation assays.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
