RESUMO

Wild-type (wt) murine p53 has been tested for its ability to block and reverse the transforming effects of simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen. Established and precrisis mouse cells overexpressing exogenously introduced wt p53 became resistant to SV40 transformation. The introduction of excess wt p53 into SV40-transformed precrisis cells reverted their transformed phenotype. However, the phenotype of SV40-transformed established cells was not reverted by excess wt p53. We conclude that an antioncogenic action of wt p53 is exerted during SV40 transformation and that in precrisis cells, the antitransforming action of wt p53 can be exerted both at initiation and during the maintenance of transformation.
