    Abstract:
    Rat embryonal fibroblasts of the second passage have been immortalized or transformed with the E1A region of the human adenovirus type 5 and the cloned c-Ha-ras oncogene. Several cell lines obtained greatly differ according to the criteria of the transformed phenotype: saturation cell density, the ability to be cloned on a substrate and in soft agar, the ability to give tumors in nude mice. We have transiently transfected these immortalized and transformed cell lines with CAT-plasmids containing the CAT gene under the control of promoters of the "cell-cycle dependent" genes (human hsp70 and protooncogene c-fos). The results showed that the expression of hsp-CAT and fos-CAT plasmids differed in great extent depending on whether the cells were immortalized (E1Aad5) or transformed (E1Aad5+Ha-ras). The role of cellular genes and cellular transcription factors influencing the expression of transiently transfected CAT-plasmids has been discussed.
