Abstract
This invention is directed to methods for inhibiting the growth in vitro or in an individual of a tumor cell induced by the mitogenic activity of PDGF by transfecting the cell with an expression vector having an expression control sequence operatively linked to a nucleic acid sequence encoding a mammalian EGR, a nucleic acid sequence encoding a fragment of a mammalian EGR comprising the three zinc fingers or a nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes to any of the foregoing nucleic acid sequences under standard hybridization conditions and that encodes a polypeptide having the cell growth-inhibiting activity of Egr-1.
