Abstract excerpt
Activated forms of Ras family members are prevalent in many cancers where Ras mutants transduce signals essential for transformation, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis. As a cancer progression model, we used NIH3T3 cells to explore the mechanism of Ras-induced tumorigenesis. Ras family mutants H-RasV12 and Rit79L strongly induced foci formation, while Rho family mutants RhoA-QL, Rac1-QL and Cdc42-QL were less...
