Clinical Significance of ras Oncogene Activation in Human Lung Cancer1
Activation of ras oncogenes is commonly found in human neoplasms. We have investigated 280 human lung cancer specimens for ras activation, including 38 that have not been reported previously, using an oligonucleotide detection assay. From a total of 141 adenocarcinoma samples from smokers, 41 tested positive for a point mutation in codon 12 of k-rav (30%), while three tumors had another type of...
متن کاملMechanism of H-ras oncogene activation in mouse squamous carcinoma induced by an alkylating agent.
A mouse skin squamous cell carcinoma induced by topical application of the direct-acting alkylating agent beta-propiolactone contains an activated H-ras oncogene with an A----T transversion at the second nucleotide of codon 61. The mutation was detected in NIH3T3 transfectant and original tumor DNA by an XbaI restriction enzyme polymorphism and confirmed by oligonucleotide "mismatch" hybridizat...
متن کاملIncidence and possible clinical significance of K-ras oncogene activation in adenocarcinoma of the human lung.
47 tumor samples, 45 of which were obtained at thoracotomy for non-small cell lung cancer were examined for mutational activation of the oncogenes H-ras, K-ras, and N-ras. A novel, highly sensitive assay based on oligonucleotide hybridization following an in vitro amplification step was employed. ras gene mutations were present in nine of 35 adenocarcinomas of the lung (all K-ras), in two of tw...
متن کاملMutational activation of k-ras oncogene in human breast-tumors.
ras genes are thought to play an important role in human cancer since they have been found to be activated frequently in several types of human tumors. From preliminary studies it has been found however, that ras mutations are extremely rare in breast tumors and therefore it was of interest to examine the frequency of such mutations. In this study we examined 65 cases of primary breast carcinom...
متن کاملK-ras oncogene activation in atypical alveolar hyperplasias of the human lung.
Atypical alveolar hyperplasia (AAH) is a potential precursor lesion from which lung adenocarcinomas arise and may be a good target for studying the early events of lung tumorigenesis. A common genetic alteration in lung adenocarcinomas is mutational activation of K-ras. To determine the timing of K-ras activation, we evaluated formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue samples of 41 AAHs and t...
