Radiation and chemical activation of ras oncogenes in different mouse strains.
A survey of a large series of radiation- or chemically induced thymic lymphomas in (AKR X RF)F1, RF/J, 129/J, and C57BL/6J mouse strains for activated ras oncogenes showed that of the tumors containing transforming activity, in more than 75% of the cases this activity segregated with either K-ras or the N-ras gene. H-ras activity was never detected. The genetic background of the host influenced...
متن کاملONCOGENES Structure and Activation of Mammalian ras Genes
DNA-transfer experiments have led to the obser vation that many human tumor cells contain genes capable of the tumorigenic transformation of NIH3T3 cells. Most of these so-called “transforming genes” are members of the ras-gene family, a highly conserved group of genes that were first identified by their presence in the Harvey and Kirsten sar coma viruses. We have cloned these genes from tu ...
متن کاملMutational Activation of N- and K-ras Oncogenes
The frequency of Nand K-ras oncogene mutations was investigated in plasma cell dyscrasias. Genomic DNAs from 128 patients were selected for this study: 30 monoclonal gammopathies of undetermined significance, 8 solitary plasmacytomas, 77 multiple myelomas (MM), and 13 plasma cell leukemias (PCL). A two-step experimental approach was devised. All samples were screened for mutations by single-str...
متن کاملTrans-activation of the mouse cytomegalovirus immediate early gene enhancer by ras oncogenes.
The ras gene family encodes 21K proteins that reside on the inner face of the plasma membrane and bind GTP and GDP with an equally high affinity. Cotransfection of NIH 3T3 cells with a mammalian expression vector containing a viral Harvey-ras (v-Ha-ras) cDNA, together with a plasmid (pCMVCAT) carrying the immediate early (IE) enhancer of the murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) linked to the chloramph...
متن کاملActivation of proto-oncogenes in human and mouse lung tumors.
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in several nations. Epidemiological studies have indicated that 85% of all lung cancer deaths and 30% of all cancer deaths in the U.S. are associated with tobacco smoking. Various chemicals in tobacco smoke are thought to react with DNA and to ultimately yield heritable mutations. In an effort to understand the molecular mechanisms involve...
