title: Increase in the synthesis of a Mr 32,000 protein in BALB/c 3T3 cells after treatment with tumor promoters, chemical carcinogens, metal salts, and heat shock.
abstract: The synthesis of a Mr 32,000 protein (p32) is enhanced as early as 2 h after the addition of tumor-promoting phorbol esters to BALB/c 3T3 cells. Among various compounds tested thus far, methyl methanesulfonate, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, L-ascorbic acid, sodium deoxycholate, p-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone, p-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone, 3,3'-diaminobenzidine, and some of the metal salts stimulated the synthesis of p32 to varying extents. p32 might be one of the heat shock proteins because its synthesis was also stimulated by heat shock or sodium arsenite. The synergisms of the effects of different compounds on p32 synthesis suggest that the expression of a p32 gene is regulated through at least three pathways. Possible roles of protein kinases in p32 gene expression are discussed.
