Abstract

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates expression of a "competence" gene family in Balb/c-3T3 cells. The competence family contains the c-myc and c-fos genes together with several functionally uncharacterized genes (JE, KC, and r-fos) that have been isolated as cDNA clones. We show that double-stranded ribonucleic acid is a potent inducer of the competence gene family. Infection with vesicular stomatitis virus also induces expression of this gene family. Conversely, PDGF stimulates expression of genes hitherto characterized as responsive to double-stranded ribonucleic acids, including the beta-fibroblast interferon and (2'-5')-oligoadenylate synthetase genes. These PDGF-inducible genes could conceivably function in a feedback loop to control 3T3 cell growth. Some of the genes, such as c-fos and c-myc, are induced quickly by PDGF and may initiate a round of cell division. Others, such as beta-fibroblast interferon and (2'-5')-oligoadenylate synthetase, are induced more slowly and may function as feedback inhibitors of the growth response to PDGF.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
