TLDR
Mouse 3T3 cells transformed with an antisense c-fos gene fused to a mouse mammary tumor virus promoter failed to show the stimulation of DNA synthesis normally induced by platelet-derived growth factor.Abstract:
Mouse 3T3 cells were transformed with an antisense c-fos gene fused to a mouse mammary tumor virus promoter. In transformants that integrated a large number of antisense c-fos sequences, the usual large increase in c-fos mRNA and protein following stimulation of quiescent cells by platelet-derived growth factor was blocked in the presence of dexamethasone. These cells subsequently also failed to show the stimulation of DNA synthesis normally induced by platelet-derived growth factor. Appropriate expression of c-fos appears to be a prerequisite for reentry of quiescent cells into the cell cycle.read more

The regulation and function of c-fos and other immediate early genes in the nervous system.
TL;DR: This review highlights the importance of identifying the genes that are responsive to trans-synaptic stimulation and membrane electrical activity in neural cells and proposes that IEGs encode regulatory proteins that control the expression of late response genes.

G1 events and regulation of cell proliferation.
TL;DR: This work has shown that switches in and out of G1 are the main determinants of post-embryonic cell proliferation rate and are defectively controlled in cancer cells.

TL;DR: Amongst the Jun proteins, c-Jun is unique in its ability to positively regulate cell proliferation through the repression of tumor suppressor gene expression and function, and induction of cyclin D1 transcription.

Tumor suppressor genes.
TL;DR: The purpose of this study is to discuss some of the results and concepts resulting from genetic approaches to identify the genes that appear to be involved in providing negative signals for cell proliferation and behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional inactivation of genes by dominant negative mutations
TL;DR: A new approach to this problem involves the manipulation of the cloned gene to create what are known as 'dominant negative' mutations, encode mutant polypeptides that when overexpressed disrupt the activity of the wild-type gene.

Stimulation of 3T3 cells induces transcription of the c- fos proto-oncogene
TL;DR: Transcription of the c-fos proto-oncogene is greatly increased within minutes of administering purified growth factors to quiescent 3T3 cells, and this stimulation is the most rapid transcriptional response to peptide growth factors yet described, implying a role for c- fos in cell-cycle control.
