- W2137945427 abstract "Dergulation of c-myc and mutation of ras genes is commonly found in many human tumors. Several lines of evidence indicate that c-Myc and oncogenic Ras cooperate in causing malignant transformation, but the mechanism of this cooperation is not understood. We set out to investigate the effect on transformation of a modest reduction in endogenous c-Myc expression, which was achieved using a c-myc heterozygous cell line constructed by targeted homologous recombination. In contrast to previous reports where c-Myc expression or activity was ablated using antisense or dominant-defective methods, use of c-myc +/- cells provides a stable and homogeneous cell culture system with a precisely defined c-Myc expression level. In addition, this approach does not suffer from nonspecific artifacts such as antisense oligonucleotide toxicity or interference of dominant-defective proteins with multiple (and often undefined) target proteins. The striking and unexpected finding communicated here is that the relatively modest 50% reduction in c-Myc expression resulted in a greater than 10-fold reduction in susceptibility to transformation by oncogenic Ras or Raf proteins. This very significant defect in transformation potential cannot be explained on the basis of a generalized cell-cycle defect, because c-myc +/- cells exhibit only a minimal (20%) reduction in proliferation. Genetic epistasis analysis indicated that c-Myc and Ras acted by independent pathways that converged to regulate the abundance of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor protein p27Kip1. Anchorage deprivation elicited a strong up-regulation of p27, and a 50% reduction in c-Myc expression significantly compromised the ability of Ras to down-regulate p27. We propose that Ras and c-Myc signals cooperate to regulate the activity of cyclin D-Cdk4/6 complexes: the former by up-regulating the expression of cyclin D1 and the latter by affecting the activity of the complexes. Ectopic expression of cyclin A restored the transformation potential of c-myc +/- cells, implicating it as a downstream genetic component in the pathway. From a therapeutic standpoint, it is of interest that, although transformation appears to be very sensitive to c-Myc expression levels, much larger reductions can be tolerated without causing any significant cell cycle defects." @default.
