Transformation by the oncogenic virus SV40 has been shown to alter the expression of cellular genes at the level of RNA abundance. Many of these genes have yet to be identified. We have determined, by Northern blot analysis, the abundance levels of several growth-regulated genes in SV40-transformed

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The growth of NIL and NILpy hamster embryo fibroblasts was determined in the presence and absence of pyruvate as a component of the growth medium. It was demonstrated that NIL cells respond to the presence of pyruvate by decreasing cell doubling time, glucose utilization, glutamine utilization, and increasing lactate production with the effects being more pronounced at low inoculum densities. Polyoma‐virus transformed NIL cells (NILpy) demonstrate none of the above effects upon pyruvate addition regardless of initial cell inoculum density.
