Activating mutations of RAS are thought to be early events in the evolution of thyroid follicular neoplasms. We used a doxycycline-inducible expression system to explore the acute effects of H-RAS12 on genomic stability in thyroid PCCL3 cells. At 2-3 days (first or second cell cycle) there was a significant increase in the frequency of micronucleation. Treatment of cells with YVAD-CHO inhibited RAS-induced apoptosis, but had no effect on micronucleation. The effects of H-RAS(V12) were mediated by activation of MAPK, as treatment with PD98059 at concentrations verified to selectively inhibit MEK1 reduced the frequency of prevalence of cells with micronuclei. In addition, doxycycline-inducible expression of a constitutively active MEK1, but not of a mutant RAC1, mimicked the effects of H-RAS(V12). The effects of H-RAS(V12) on genome destabilization were apparent even though the sequence of p53 in PCCL3 cells was confirmed to be wild-type. Acute activation of H-RAS(V12) evoked a proportional increase in both CREST negative and CREST positive micronuclei, indicating that both clastogenic and aneugenic effects were involved. H-RAS(V12) and activated MEK1 also induced centrosome amplification, and chromosome misalignment. Evidence that acute expression of constitutively activated RAS destabilizes the genome of PCCL3 cells is consistent with a mode of tumor initiation in which this oncogene promotes phenotypic progression by predisposing to large scale genomic abnormalities.
