OBJECTIVE Point mutations of the K-ras gene are detected in > 90% of human pancreatic cancers and may play an important role in tumorigenesis. However, correlations between mutant K-ras and the invasive activity of the tumor have remained unclarified. METHODS 17-merphosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotides targeting K-ras point mutations were transfected into three kinds of human pancreatic cancer cell lines (MIAPaCa-2, PANC-1, and BxPC-3), and the invasive activity was investigated using an in vitro chemoinvasion assay. RESULTS Antisense oligonucleotides strongly inhibited the invasive activity of the cell lines with mutant K-ras genes (MIAPaCa-2, PANC-1), but not in that with a wild-type K-ras (BxPC-3). CONCLUSIONS Antisense oligonucleotides specific to mutated K-ras genes inhibited the invasiveness of human pancreatic cancer cell lines. Specific antisense therapy to the point mutation of K-ras might be a new anticancer strategy for pancreatic cancer.

D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

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.
