| Abstract | Cellular and viral oncogenes are usually defined on the basis of their ability to elicit neoplastic transformation. However, oncogene activity has also been implicated in the control of differentiation. We have tested whether transfection of primary cultured granulosa cells with various oncogenes can yield cell lines that maintain their differentiated properties. Primary granulosa cells were prepared from diethylstilbestrol-treated immature female rats and transfected with simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA or with SV40 plus activated human Ha-RAS oncogene. Transfection with SV40 plus Ha-RAS yielded cell lines that lost response to gonadotropins but, after 48 hr of stimulation with isoproterenol, cholera toxin, forskolin, or 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP), produced progesterone at levels comparable to those of differentiated primary cells. In contrast, cells transformed only by SV40 lost their ability to produce progesterone. Whereas in primary cell cultures progesterone production was already evident after a 3-hr incubation with 1 mM 8-Br-cAMP, in cotransfected cells progesterone production became evident only after 12 hr. All cotransformed cell lines produced SV40 large tumor antigen as well as human RAS p21 protein. The expression of the expected oncogenes in the various cell lines was confirmed by mRNA analysis. These results suggest that the expression of an activated RAS oncogene in granulosa cells can play a role in preserving inducible steroidogenesis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
