[Sequence analysis of N--ras and p53 gene mutation in the human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines]

Gene mutation and abnormal expression of ras oncogenes and p53 gene have a direct bearing on the carcinogenesis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sequencing technique of ds DNA cycle and sequencing system were used to detect the gene mutation of N-ras as well as the exon 5 and 7 of p53 gene in hLA and LTEP-a2 cell lines of human lung adenocarcinoma. The result showed that mutation of both cell lines occurred on the 154th codon in exon5 of p53 gene, where GGC was displaced by GTC resulting a substitution of Val for Gly, nevertheless, N-ras oncogene and the exon7 of p53 gene are normal.
