Deregulation of a set of critical cellular genes has long been speculated as a cause of the oncogenic transformation induced by v-Jun oncoprotein. In the past several years, extensive efforts have been made to identify such genes. Several target genes have been identified that are specifically associated with the v-Jun induced transformation phenotype in chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF).
We have undertaken the objective to identify and characterize the genes that become deregulated in response to, or as a consequence of, Jun-induced transformation. By exploiting the difference in oncogenic potential between v-Jun and c-Jun in CEF, the chicken apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) …
