| Abstract | We have previously shown that the mouse c-H-ras gene acquires transforming activity in chemically induced skin tumours. We have now investigated the pattern of DNA methylation at HpaII and XhoI sites around the c-H-ras locus in various tissues and stages of epidermal tumour progression. The results of this study suggest a correlation between the methylation state of the c-H-ras gene and its susceptibility to oncogenic conversion by a point-mutation. The locus is substantially undermethylated in normal epidermis in comparison with NIH/3T3 fibroblasts. Intermediate levels of methylation were observed in the other tissues investigated. The undermethylation at HpaII sites in epidermal DNA persists through the morphologically distinct phases of hyperplasia, benign papilloma and malignant carcinoma. Methylation at a specific XhoI site close to the c-H-ras gene is significantly reduced with respect to normal epidermis in some, but not all epidermal tumours. The methylation state of the c-H-ras locus in specific tumours is stably maintained following transfection of these DNAs into NIH/3T3 cells and selection of transformed foci. Demethylation of the locus is not essential in vitro for the transforming activity of DNA from epidermal tumours. The significance of changes in the methylation pattern of the c-H-ras gene in different tissues and during tumour progression is discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
