Expression of oncogenes in human hepatoma cell lines

Zhonghua Min Guo Wei Sheng Wu Ji Mian Yi Xue Za Zhi. 1988 Aug;21(3):141-50.

Abstract

The expression of 20 known cellular proto-oncogenes in human well-differentiated hepatoma cell line Hep3B and poorly-differentiated hepatoma cell line HA22T/VGH was studied by Northern blot hybridization. Among the cellular proto-oncogenes examined, both cell lines express protein kinase genes including fps, mos and raf; PDGF B chain sis gene; GTP/GDP binding protein gene Ha-ras and nuclear protein genes including fos and myc. The expression of yes, abl, ros, src, erb-B, erb-A, fms, Ki-ras, myb, rel and bas genes was not detected in both cell lines.
