title: The expression of ceruloplasmin, an angiogenic glycoprotein, by mouse embryonic fibroblasts.
abstract: Balb/c 3T3, Swiss 3T3 and Rous sarcoma virus transformed Balb/c 3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblasts produced ceruloplasmin in vitro, whereas primary cultures prepared from the Balb/c mouse embryos did not produce ceruloplasmin. The amount of ceruloplasmin synthesis by the Balb/c 3T3 cell line is enhanced by Rous sarcoma virus-transformation (1.5-3 fold) and by treatment with dexamethasone (about 2.4 fold). The protein was identified as ceruloplasmin by immunoprecipitation with ceruloplasmin-specific polyclonal antibody, and by similarity of peptide maps, and subunit molecular weight (135,000 dalton) to that of authentic ceruloplasmin from primary cultures of mouse hepatocytes.
