Abstract:
:Among 21 human mammary tumors analyzed for transforming genes by transfection of NIH/3T3 cells, only DNA of a carcinosarcoma cell line, HS578T, registered as positive. A Harvey (H)-ras oncogene identified in this line was cloned in biologically active form and the activating lesion was identified as a single nucleotide substitution of adenine for guanine in the 12th codon. This results in substitution of aspartic acid for glycine at this position of the p21 coding sequence. Knowledge that this alteration creates a restriction site polymorphism for Msp I/Hpa II in the H-ras protooncogene made it possible to survey for the presence of the activated H-ras allele in normal cells as well as in clonally derived tumor cell lines of the same patient. We demonstrated the presence of unaltered H-ras alleles in normal HS578 cells. In contrast, every clonally derived HS578T tumor cell line analyzed contained the H-ras oncogene possessing the genetic alteration at position 12. These findings establish that activation of this oncogene was the result of a somatic event selected within all HS578T tumor cells.
