Abstract
Severe defects in control of cell size are closely associated with cancer. However, the mechanisms that drive cell size defects in cancer remain unknown and it is unclear whether they are a direct consequence of signals from primary oncogenic drivers or a secondary consequence of mutations that accumulate during evolution of cancer cells. Here, we report that expression of oncogenic HRAS G12V is sufficient to cause cell size defects in NIH 3T3 cells, which suggests that the cell size defects of cancer cells are a direct consequence of primary oncogenic drivers.
