Rare Occurrence of <i>ras</i> and <i>p53</i> Gene Mutations in Mouse Stomach Tumors Induced by <i>N</i>–Methyl–<i>N</i>–nitrosourea

抄録

<jats:p>The incidence of point mutations of H–, K– and N–<jats:italic>ras</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>p53</jats:italic> oncogenes in male BALB/c mouse stomach tumors induced with A<jats:sup>r</jats:sup>–methyl–A<jats:sup>r</jats:sup>–nitrosourea (MNU) was examined by direct sequencing and PCR single–strand conformation polymorphism (PCR–SSCP). A mutation of GGT to AGT at <jats:italic>K–ras</jats:italic> codon 12 was found by SSCP in one adenocarcinoma from a total of 19 specimens including 5 adenocarcinomas, 9 adenomatous hypcrplastic regions, 1 squamous cell carcinoma and 4 normal–like stomach regions from 4 mice. No mutations were detected by direct sequencing of H–, K– and N–ras oncogenes at exons 1 (codons 12 and 13) and 2 (codon 61) in a total of 26 specimens comprising 10 adenocarcinomas, 10 adenomatons hyperplastic regions, 2 squamous cell carcinomas and 4 normal–like stomach regions from <jats:italic>6</jats:italic> mice. No mutations were detected by direct sequencing <jats:italic>ofp53</jats:italic> oncogene at exons 5, 6, 7 and 8 in a total of 30 specimens including 13 adenocarcinomas, 8 adenomatous hyperplastic regions, 2 squamous cell carcinomas, 1 papilloma and 6 normal–like stomach regions from 7 mice. These results suggest that <jats:italic>ras</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>p53</jats:italic> oncogenes do not play a role in mouse stomach carcinogenesis induced by MNU.</jats:p>
