The strain A mouse has a high incidence of spontaneous lung tumors and is susceptible to lung tumor induction by chemical carcinogens. By utilizing transfection assay, Southern blot analysis, and DNA amplification techniques, we have detected an activated Ki-ras gene in the DNAs of both spontaneously occurring and chemically induced lung tumors of strain A mice. The point mutations in the spont...
To investigate the role of K-ras mutations in canine non-small cell lung cancer, we first determined the nucleotide sequence of the normal canine K-ras gene and then examined 21 canine lung tumors for activating K-ras mutations. Canine K-ras was analyzed by direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction products generated with oligonucleotide primers derived from the human K-ras sequence. Four ...
Blockade of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with the monoclonal antibodies cetuximab or panitumumab is effective in a subset of colorectal cancers (CRCs), but the emergence of resistance limits the efficacy of these therapeutic agents. At relapse, the majority of patients develop RAS mutations, while a subset acquires EGFR extracellular domain (ECD) mutations. Here we find that pati...
Mutations in codons 12 or 13 of the first exon of the N-RAS gene have been reported in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) in frequencies that vary between 9% and 40% depending on the techniques used in analysis. Gene amplification and direct sequencing provides the only unambiguous method of detecting those mutations that induce amino acid alterations. Using this technique, we analyzed 21 MDS pati...
K-ras gene mutations have been reported as early events in colorectal tumorigenesis, but their role in tumor initiation and development is still unclear. To analyze and compare K-ras mutational patterns between colorectal tissues at different stages of tumor progression in individual patients, 65 colorectal tissue samples, including carcinoma, adenoma, histologically normal mucosa, submucosal m...
Azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic carcinogenesis involves a number of mutations, including those in the K-ras gene and CTNNB1, that codes for b-catenin. Prior in vitro studies have also demonstrated that wild type p21 can be activated by epigenetic events. We identified 15 K-ras mutations in 14 of 84 AOM-induced colonic tumors by three independent methods. By single strand conformational polym...
BACKGROUND Colorectal carcinomas were studied regarding early proof of liver metastases through determination of K-ras mutations. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy-seven colorectal carcinomas were investigated for the presence of point mutations in codon 12 and 13 of the K-ras gene, using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and direct sequencing. RESULTS Twenty-six carcinomas...
Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains two members of the ras gene family. Strains with disruptions of the RAS2 gene fail to grow efficiently on nonfermentable carbon sources. This growth defect can be suppressed by extragenic mutations called sra. We have isolated 79 independent suppressor mutations, 68 of which have been assigned to one of five loci. Eleven additional dominant mutations have not b...
Sporadic colon carcinomas, carcinomas arising in chronic ulcerative colitis, and pancreatic adenocarcinomas have been analyzed for the presence of c-Ki-ras mutations by a combination of histological enrichment, cell sorting, polymerase chain reaction, and direct sequencing. Although 60% (37/61) of sporadic colon carcinomas contained mutations in codon 12, only 1 of 17 specimens of dysplasia or ...
The K-ras mutation is one of the most common genetic alterations found in human lung cancer. To evaluate the prognostic value of ras gene alterations in lung cancer in a U.S. population, we have screened 173 human lung tumors, which included 127 adenocarcinomas, 37 squamous carcinomas, and 9 adenosquamous carcinomas, for mutations in the K-ras gene using the combination of the PCR and denaturin...
