Abstract	The peripheral myelin gene PMP22 is the rat and human homologue of the murine growth-arrest-specific gene gas3. The biological function of PMP22 is unknown, but recent progress in the analysis of rat Schwann cells expressing altered levels of PMP22 revealed that one role of PMP22 is as a negative growth modulator. We have investigated the influence of rat PMP22 (rPMP22) and a mutant of PMP22 (rPMP22Tr) resembling the murine trembler mutation on cell growth of retrovirus-vector-infected mouse NIH3T3 cells. Transduced cells carrying the two different sense constructs expressed rPMP22 and rPMP22Tr mRNAs and proteins. Elevated levels of rPMP22 and rPMP22Tr significantly reduced fibroblast growth as judged by proliferation assays. Despite a negative modulatory influence of rPMP22 and rPMP22Tr on cell proliferation, cell cycle analyses by flow cytometry did not reveal an influence of rPMP22 or rPMP22Tr on the synchronous progression of resting NIH3T3 cells from G0 into S phase. However, cell cycle analyses by flow cytometry of asynchronously dividing cultures demonstrated that the expression of rPMP22 and rPMP22Tr increased the fraction of cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Furthermore, cell death analyses revealed that, in contrast to control cells and cells carrying the rPMP22Tr construct, a significantly increased fraction of NIH3T3 cells expressing rPMP22 exit the proliferation compartment showing hallmarks of programmed cell death. These results indicate that (i) rPMP22 and rPMP22Tr act as negative modulators of proliferation in murine fibroblasts probably through extension of the G1 phase of the cell cycle and (ii) rPMP22 but not rPMP22Tr promotes programmed death of these cells.
