The recombinant plasmid and the control pcDNA3.1 vector were introduced into NIH3T3 cells by lipofectin-mediated gene transfection. Then positive colonies were selected by G418 and were tested for thEir proliferation by colony forming and incorporation of 3H-TdR. The DNA binding activity (nuclear transposal) of NF-кB was detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), and c-Met, P-Erk, P-Akt protEIn expression were detected by Western blotting. ［Results］ Comparing with normal cells and c-Met-transfected NIH3T3 cells, the Tpr-Met-transfected NIH3T3 cells had changed evidently in cytomorphology, its ability of forming cell colonies in soft agar(0，71±10 and 160±12, respectively, P0.01) increased, which revealed the malignant transformation of NIH3T3 cells induced by Tpr-Met. Taking incorporation of 3H-TdR as the index of proliferation, the ability of cell proliferation of the Tpr-Met-transfected NIH3T3 cells increased significantly. In the transformed cells, the expressions of P-Erk and P-Akt were upregulated at the protein level and the DNA binding activity (nuclear transposal) of N
