Rat glioma C6 cells were stably transfected with a pSV3-neo plasmid containing SV40 T antigen gene, and geniticin-resistant transfectants (designated C6T cells) were cloned. The C6T cells grew as well-defined foci of cells showing squamous or irregular morphology. The doubling time for transfected cells was reduced by approximately 40% as compared to control C6 cells. The transfection with T-antigen also affected the expression of genes coding for structural myelin proteins and for myelin-associated enzymes. The steady-state level of proteolipid protein (PLP)-specific mRNA in C6T cells was 44% lower than in parental C6 cells. On the other hand, the transfection upregulated the expression of myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) by 153%. The activity of 2′∶3′cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase (CNP) was increased by approximately 80 % in the C6T cells as compared to untransfected, control cells. The activity of calcium-activated neutral proteinase (CANP) was also significantly elevated in the transfectants by approximately 50% and 220% for millimolar and micromolar form respectively. The results indicate that T antigen affects the expression of myelin genes, although, individual genes appear to be differently regulated implying the existence of several independent regulatory mechanisms.
