v-erbA oncogene abrogates growth inhibition of chicken embryo fibroblasts induced by retinoic acid.
Retinoic acid inhibits chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) proliferation by altering the G1 phase of the cell cycle with induction of a strong increase in the generation time. This growth-inhibitory response to retinoic acid is abrogated by expression of the v-erbA oncogene, suggesting an interference between retinoic acid receptors and the v-ErbA oncoprotein. Moreover, CEF expressing either the v-src, v-jun or v-fos oncogenes are also insensitive to retinoic acid treatment. In contrast, CEF expressing either the v-myc, v-myb-ets, v-mil, v-sea or v-erbB oncogenes are still sensitive to retinoic acid. These data strongly suggest functional interferences between the retinoic acid receptors and the AP-1 transcription factor complex in the control of expression of genes involved in CEF proliferation.
