Oncogene activation in human myeloid leukemia.

J W Janssen, A C Steenvoorden, J G Collard

    Cancer Research
    |July 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Human myeloid leukemias show activated N-ras oncogenes. This study found N-ras activation in various stages of myeloid differentiation, suggesting its role in hematopoietic tumor development.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Protooncogene activation is crucial in myeloid leukemias.
    • Understanding oncogene involvement across differentiation stages is key.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate protooncogene activation in human myeloid leukemias.
    • To identify specific oncogenes involved in different myeloid differentiation stages.

    Main Methods:

    • DNA-mediated gene transfer into NIH/3T3 cells.
    • Hybridization analysis to detect activated oncogenes.

    Main Results:

    • DNA from HL-60, Rc2a, and KG-1 cell lines transformed NIH/3T3 cells, indicating activated oncogenes.
    • N-ras oncogene activation was identified in these three myeloid leukemia cell lines.
    • Activated N-ras and c-Ki-ras oncogenes were found in primary leukemia cells from patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Hematopoietic myeloid tumors can harbor oncogenes active in cell transformation.
    • N-ras oncogene activation is implicated in myeloid tumors across various differentiation stages.
