Abstract excerpt
K-ras is frequently mutated in lung adenocarcinomas. Recent discovery that wild-type K-ras is tumor suppressive in the lung raises a question: how is mutant K-ras aggressively oncogenic? We hypothesized that mutant K-ras might lead to generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage, contributing to malignant transformation. We stably transfected human mutant K-ras(V12) into non-transformed peripheral...
