Anchorage-independent growth is a hallmark of transformed cells, but little is known of the molecular mechanisms that underlie this phenomenon. We describe here studies of cell cycle control of anchorage-independent growth induced by therasoncogene, with the use of a somatic cell mutant fibroblast line (ER-1-2) that is specifically defective in oncogene-mediated, anchorage-independent growth. Control, nontransformed PKC3-F4 cells and ER-1-2 cells cannot proliferate in semisolid medium. Three important cell cycle events are dependent on adhesion of these cells to a substratum: phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein, pRB; cyclin E-dependent kinase activity; and cyclin A expression. PKC3-F4 cells that expressras(PKC3-F4/rascells) proliferate in nonadherent cultures, and each of these three events occurs in the absence of adhesion in PKC3-F4/rascells. Thus,rascan override the adhesion requirement of cellular functions that are necessary for cell cycle progression. ER-1-2 cells that expressras(ER-1-2/rascells) possess hyperphosphorylated forms of pRB and cyclin E-dependent kinase activity in the absence of adhesion but remain adhesion dependent for expression of cyclin A. The adhesion dependence of pRB phosphorylation and cyclin E-dependent kinase activity is therefore dissociable from the adhesion dependence of cyclin A expression. Furthermore, ectopic expression of cyclin A is sufficient to rescue anchorage-independent growth of ER-1-2/rascells but does not induce anchorage-independent growth of PKC3-F4 or ER-1-2 cells. However, like pRB phosphorylation and cyclin E-dependent kinase activity, the kinase activity associated with ectopically expressed cyclin A is dependent on cell adhesion, and this dependence is overcome byras.Thus, the induction of anchorage-independent growth byrasmay involve multiple signals that lead to both expression of cyclin A and activation of G1cyclin-dependent kinase activities in the absence of cell adhesion.
