Abstract

ABSTRACTWe developed inducible and constitutive expression systems of Ha-RasV12 in HEK 293 cells to examine early oncogenic RasV12 signaling. Inducible expression of oncogenic Ras-triggered growth arrest, early senescence, and later apoptosis. Gene expression profile analysis revealed early Ras proliferation and cell cycle genes like c-fos, cyclin E, cdk2, cell–cell contact, and signaling like integrin a6, MEK5, and free radical signaling genes, like proline oxidase. Therefore, Ras-mediated signaling is a fine regulated process both positively and negatively influencing cell cycle, senescence, and apoptosis pathways. Novel early RAS-target genes could be potentially exploited in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.
