Abstract excerpt
Ras mutations contribute to human cancer development. The present study assessed the Ras V12 mutation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and the role of its silencing in vitro and in nude mouse xenografts. HCC BEL7402 cells expressed mutations of V12 (Val/Gly) and wild-type H-Ras, whereas SMMC7721 cells only expressed wild-type H-Ras. The shRNA constructs specifically silenced mutated H-Ras expression in...
