Description
The gene mucAB has an error-prone activity in bacteria. We introduced mucAB into mouse 3T3 cells with an expression vector and found drastic increase of spontaneous transformation, accompanied by increase of expression of eight oncogenes, i. e., Gpnmb, Foxml, Maff, Myc, Aurka, Aukb, Fosl1, and Anxa8 and decrease of expression in two oncogenes, i. e., Lrig1 and RhoX in order of the magnitude of change, as compared with those in non-treated 3T3 cells.
