Abstract excerpt
In order to determine whether chronic elevation of intracellular diacylglycerol levels generated by hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) by PC-hydrolyzing phospholipase C (PC-PLC) is oncogenic, we generated stable transfectants of NIH 3T3 cells expressing the gene encoding PC-PLC from Bacillus cereus. We found that constitutive expression of this gene (plc) led to transformation of NIH 3T3 cells as evidenced by...
