cAMP production and the activity of cAMP dependent protein kinase (Kinase-A) were examined in a mutant clone of a NIH/3T3 cell line transformed by a human activated H-ras-1 oncogene (EJ-NIH/3T3). The mutant (R1) shows the characteristics of a flat revertant. The amount of cAMP increases more significantly in R1 than that in EJ-NIH/3T3 in the presence of PGE1. Enhanced activity of Kinase-A was also noted in R1 when compared to that in EJ-NIH/3T3. Further, EJ-NIH/3T3 treated with agents which increase intracellular cAMP content partially lost some characteristics of malignantly transformed phenotypes in vitro. These data suggest that Kinase-A might be involved in the reversion of EJ-NIH/3T3. In addition, reduced cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration measured with Ca2+ indicator in R1 cells was noted. This might also be associated with the reversion of the malignantly transformed cell line.

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.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
