[Role of activated cellular c-Ha-ras-1 oncogene in the mutagenic effect of the plasmid pEJ6.6].
The role of the activated oncogene c-Ha-ras-1 from human bladder carcinoma integrated into the pEJ6.6 plasmid in the mutagenic effect of the plasmid was studied in Chinese hamster cells. The frequency of hypoxanthine-phosphoribosyltransferase defective (HPRT-) mutants after treatment with pEJ6.6 containing an active c-Ha-ras-1 exceeded that in control dishes treated with a derivative of pEJ6.6 plasmid with an inactivated oncogene. The inactivation was achieved by introducing a deletion into the coding region of the oncogene. The mutagenic effect was rather weak but statistically significant. Thus, the data obtained show that the mutagenic activity of pEJ6.6 plasmid is determined by its oncogene. The role of mutagenic effects of activated cellular oncogenes in malignant transformation is discussed.
