PG - 1277-9 AB - Hepatocellular tumors were induced in 15 day old male B6C3F1 mice following a single exposure to N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN; 5 mg/kg, i.p.). Tumors were collected at 38 and 65 weeks to compare the frequencies and types of mutations in the 61st codon of the H-ras oncogene. The 61st codon was amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Allele-specific oligonucleotide (ASO) probes were used to determine the frequency and types of mutations present in these tumors. Forty-nine nodular hepatic lesions were obtained from seven animals at the 38 week timepoint. Five of these samples (10%) had mutations at the 61st codon with one CAA-AAA, one CAA-CGA and three CAA-CTA. Thirty-six nodular hepatic lesions were obtained from six animals at the 65 week timepoint. Ten of these samples (28%) had mutations at the 61st codon with one CAA-AAA, five CAA-CGA and four CAA-CTA. These data indicate that DEN-induced mutations at the 61st codon of the mouse H-ras oncogene (i) are an infrequent event, (ii) have different frequencies at the 38 and 65 week timepoints and (iii) are different from the types of mutations seen in spontaneous lesions.
