Okadaic acid (OA), a tumor promoter in the mouse skin carcinogenesis model, has been shown to induce apoptosis in tumor cell lines that harbor H-ras mutations. We examined the effects of OA on mouse keratinocytes with (308) and without (C50) H-ras mutation in vitro and in an in vivo system. Following exposure to varying concentrations of OA over time, the effects of OA in vitro were assessed using microscopic, biochemical and flow cytometric techniques. OA effects on the cells included incorporation of propidium iodide, externalization of phosphatidylserine, and development of hypodiploidy. 308 cells demonstrated typical DNA ladder formation, rapid chromatin and nuclear condensation, while C50 cells demonstrated delayed chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation, but no DNA ladder formation. In vivo, OA elicited delayed papilloma formation and reduced tumor multiplicity. Though its mechanism of action is not fully known, we found that OA-induced inhibition of the clonal expansion of initiated cells may be related to the presence or absence of H-ras mutation.
