Increased genomic instability and altered chromosomal protein phosphorylation timing in <i>HRAS</i>‐transformed mouse fibroblasts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway is often deregulated in cancer cells. In metastatic HRAS-transformed mouse fibroblasts (Ciras-3), the RAS-MAPK pathway is constitutively activated. We show here that Ciras-3 cells exhibit a higher incidence of chromosomal instability than 10T1/2 cells, including higher levels of clonal and nonclonal chromosomal aberrations. Stimulation of serum starved 10T1/2 and Ciras-3 cells with phorbol esters (TPA) results in the phosphorylation of histone H3 at serine 10 and serine 28. Regardless of the increased genomic instability in Ciras-3 cells, TPA-induced H3 phosphorylated at serine 10 and H3 phosphorylated at serine 28 partitioned into distinct nuclear subdomains as they did in the parental cells. However, the timing of the response of the H3 phosphorylation event to TPA induction was delayed in Ciras-3 cells. Further Ciras-3 cells, which have a more open chromatin structure, had increased steady state levels of phosphorylated H3 and HMGN1 relative to parental 10T1/2 cells. TPA-induced H3 phosphorylated at serine 10 and 28 were colocalized with the transcriptionally initiated form of RNA polymerase II in 10T1/2 and Ciras-3 cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that TPA-induced H3 phosphorylation at serine 28 was associated with the immediate early JUN promoter, providing direct evidence that this histone post-translational modification is associated with transcriptionally active genes. Together our results demonstrate the increased genomic instability and alterations in the epigenetic program in HRAS-transformed cells.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
