Abstract excerpt
A normal rat fibroblast 3Y1 cell line expresses smooth muscle a actin and the expression of alpha actin is suppressed in the transformant (SR-3Y1-2) induced by a Raus sarcoma virus. Gene transfer with smooth muscle alpha actin into the SR-3Y1-2 cell line reduced growth and invasiveness in vitro, as well as tumor growth and experimental lung metastasis depending on the expression of the alpha actin. These results...
