An electroporation technique was employed to study the effect of oncogenes H-ras and c-myc after their short-term expression in the rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. It was found that within 6 days after electroporation the mutant T24 H-ras 1 gene induced differentiation of PC12 cells whereas the c-myc blocked NGF-induced differentiation. The induction of differentiation by the T24 H-ras gene may suggest a physiological role of the ras gene in cell differentiation as well as in cell proliferation.
采用电穿孔技术研究癌基因H-ras和c-myc在大鼠嗜铬细胞瘤PC12细胞中短期表达后的作用。结果发现,电穿孔后6天内,突变型T24 H-ras 1基因诱导PC12细胞分化,而c-myc阻断神经生长因子(NGF)诱导的分化。T24 H-ras基因诱导分化可能提示ras基因在细胞分化以及细胞增殖中具有生理作用。
