Abstract

Treatment of diploid human fibroblasts with stereoisomeric benzo[alpha]pyrene anti and syn diol epoxides has been shown to induce anchorage-independent clones of cells with a dose dependence and frequency [(0.5-12) X 10(-4)] not significantly different from mutations at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase locus [(1-8) X 10(-4)] in these cells. The majority of the anchorage-independent clones that were picked retained their mutagen-induced, anchorage-independent phenotype through at least 20 generations of expansion in monolayer culture. No variant cells showing extended life-span were detected among survivors in any of the mutagen treatment groups (less than 1.6 X 10(-7) frequency). Extensive analysis of a pool of 15 cellular protooncogenes (Ha-ras, Ki-ras, N-ras, mos, fos, fes, myc, abl, sis, myb, erbA, erbB, src, raf, N-myc), using Southern and northern blot analysis, was done to determine whether mutagen-induced rearrangement, amplification or overexpression of any of these genes was responsible for the mutagen-induced, anchorage-independent phenotype. We found no evidence that the genomic arrangement or expression level of any of these genes had been altered, thus indicating that an alternative form of mutati...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
