The characteristics of the cytoskeleton of a Fischer rat embryo fibroblast cell line (3Y1) transformed by ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated HSV were studied by indirect immunofluorescence using anti-actin IgG. Parental 3Y1 cells possessed well-developed actin filaments, while 3Y1 cells transformed by UV-irradiated HSV also retained well-developed actin filaments. Transformed cells were divided into 2 groups according to tumorigenicity in newborn Fischer rats; one had a strongly tumorigenic potential and the other a weakly tumorigenic potential. Tumor-derived cell lines exhibited a highly tumorigenic potential, and were also divided into 2 groups, one with well-developed actin filaments and the other without well-developed actin filaments. Our results suggested that transformation or tumor formation by HSV is a multi-step process and that morphological loss of actin filaments in the cells is not essential to the tumorigenic potential of the cells transformed by HSV.

D000199 Actins Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.
