Abstract excerpt
An activated Ki-ras was expressed in the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 to study the effects of Ki-ras oncogene on polyamine metabolism during gastrointestinal tumorigenesis. Multiple clones selected for expression of the mutant Ki-ras transgene displayed a suppression of transcription of a key catabolic enzyme in polyamine catabolism spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT). Gene expression...
