The susceptibility of rasH2 mice to urethane lung carcinogenesis and the modifying effects of butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) on development of pulmonary lesions were examined. Single i.p. injections of urethane at 250 mg/kg in males or 500 mg/kg in females induced alveolar/bronchiolar adenomas within 6 weeks. At 4 weeks after the injection with a dose of 1000 mg/kg, adenomas occurred in both sexes. BHT administration increased the multiplicity of hyperplasias observed 3 weeks after the urethane injection and additionally caused adenomas which did not occur in the urethane alone-treated animals. The overall data suggest the possibility of rapid assays for lung carcinogens using rasH2 mice.

D011905 Genes, ras Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (ras) originally isolated from Harvey (H-ras, Ha-ras, rasH) and Kirsten (K-ras, Ki-ras, rasK) murine sarcoma viruses. Ras genes are widely conserved among animal species and sequences corresponding to both H-ras and K-ras genes have been detected in human, avian, murine, and non-vertebrate genomes. The closely related N-ras gene has been detected in human neuroblastoma and sarcoma cell lines. All genes of the family have a similar exon-intron structure and each encodes a p21 protein.
