Mutations in ras oncogenes were detected in cultured cells of mouse skin tumors induced by near-UV irradiation. DNA extracted from the UV-induced tumor cells was transfected to golden hamster embryo cells, and focus-forming ability was confirmed in 22 of 26 cell strains, 15 of which had the repetitive mouse sequence. Mouse ras genes were detected in 10 of these 22 cell strains. Point mutations in the ras genes were at Ha-ras codon 13 (GGC-->GTC in two strains, GGC-->AGC in one strain), Ki-ras codon 61 (CAA-->GAA in two strains), and N-ras codon 61 (CAA-->CAT in two strains, CAA-->AAA in two strains). In one tumor cell strain no base change was directed. Most mutations occurred at dipyrimidine sites. Pyrimidine dimers or pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoproducts are the likely cause of the skin cancers. The base change occurred preferentially at G.C base pairs, and transversions predominated.
