| Abstract | Although loss of cell surface fibronectin (FN) is a hallmark of many oncogenically transformed cells, the mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon remain poorly understood. The present study utilized the nontumorigenic human osteosarcoma cell line TE-85 to investigate the effects of induced Ha-ras oncogene expression on FN biosynthesis. TE-85 cells were stably transfected with metallothionein-Ha-ras fusion genes, and the effects of metal-induced ras expression on FN biosynthesis were determined. Induction of the ras oncogene, but not proto-oncogene, was accompanied by a decrease in total FN mRNA and protein levels. Transfection experiments indicated that these oncogene effects were not due to reduced FN promoter activity, suggesting that a posttranscriptional mechanism was involved. The most common mechanism of posttranscriptional regulation affects cytoplasmic mRNA stability. However, in this study the down-regulation of FN was identified as a nuclear event. A component of the ras effect was due to a mechanism affecting accumulation of processed nuclear FN RNA. Mechanisms that would generate such an effect include altered RNA processing and altered stability of the processed message in the nucleus. There was no effect of ras on FN mRNA poly(A) tail length or site of polyadenylation. There was also no evidence for altered splicing at the ED-B domain of FN mRNA. This demonstration of nuclear posttranscriptional down-regulation of FN by the Ha-ras oncogene identifies a new level at which ras oncoproteins can regulate gene expression and thus contribute to development of the malignant phenotype. |

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.
