The polypeptide patterns of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells (MCF-7gpt) and a stably v-H-ras-transfected subclone (MCF-7ras) have been analyzed following estradiol treatment. Since both estradiol and v-H-ras transfection increase tumorigenicity of MCF-7 cells, this study was designed to ascertain if specific changes in polypeptides were common in both treatments. Separation of cellular and secreted polypeptides was accomplished by 2-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the consequent patterns were analyzed with computer assistance. Estradiol treatment of the MCF-7gpt cells reduced the number of differences found in the polypeptide patterns between MCF-7gpt and MCF-7ras. Twelve cellular polypeptides were consistently modulated by either estradiol or v-H-ras, with four polypeptides clearly affected in the same way by both treatments. Polypeptides Gchc-0845 (Mr 54,000, pI 6.9) and Gchc-0902 (Mr 52,000, pI 6.3) were suppressed by estradiol and v-H-ras, while Gchc-1240 (Mr 34,000, pI 4.4) and Gchc-1396 (Mr 23,000, pI 5.3) were induced by estradiol and v-H-ras. Sixteen secreted polypeptides were altered by at least 2-fold subsequent to estradiol treatment or v-H-ras transfection. Transfection with v-H-ras had a greater effect than estradiol, stimulating the secretion of eight polypeptides and suppressing the secretion of seven polypeptides compared to estradiol which increased secretion of five polypeptides and decreased secretion of an additional three polypeptides, respectively. Synergistic effects by estradiol and v-H-ras were noted for three polypeptides. The secretion of Gcls-175 (Mr 50,000, pI 5.7) and Gcls-320 (Mr less than 14,000, pI 3.6, p-S2) was increased, while the secretion of Gcls-112 (Mr 76,000, pI 6.9) was decreased. Opposing effects of estradiol and v-H-ras were seen for seven polypeptides including the Mr 48,000 derivative of the Mr 52,000 protein (cathepsin D). These studies support the possibility that an extremely few, but specific polypeptides are regulated in association with quite diverse tumorigenic stimuli in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.

D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm. Proteins, Neoplasm
D011905 Genes, ras Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (ras) originally isolated from Harvey (H-ras, Ha-ras, rasH) and Kirsten (K-ras, Ki-ras, rasK) murine sarcoma viruses. Ras genes are widely conserved among animal species and sequences corresponding to both H-ras and K-ras genes have been detected in human, avian, murine, and non-vertebrate genomes. The closely related N-ras gene has been detected in human neuroblastoma and sarcoma cell lines. All genes of the family have a similar exon-intron structure and each encodes a p21 protein.
