Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The human epithelial HBL-100 cell line harbors SV40 genetic information and has an unlimited growth potential. Despite displaying properties characteristic of transformation since its early in vitro passages, it is capable of producing progressively growing tumors in nude mice only after long-term culture. This is a reproducible phenomenon and apparently not the consequence of a selection of preexisting malignant cells. Superinfection of early passage nontumorigenic HBL-100 cells with Kirsten murine sarcoma virus, which contains a Ki-ras oncogene having undergone multiple activating events, induces morphologic alterations and rapidly converts the cells to neoplastic cells, further supporting the hypothesis of multistep carcinogenesis. The HBL-100 cell line might be useful in defining the oncogenes representative of different families, which are able to complement SV40 in this system.
