Activities of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and aspartate aminotransferase in the malate-aspartate shuttle were significantly increased in the cytosolic fractions of livers with early neoplastic symptoms such as swelling and discoloration in transgenic mice carrying the prototype human c-Ha-ras gene, Tg-rasH2 mice, which were administered with diethylnitrosamine (DEN) as a carcinogenic chemical at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight. Cytosolic MDH/LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) (ML) ratio increased significantly and was considered to be a useful marker to characterize the energy metabolism at early neoplastic stage in livers of the Tg-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.
