pauses cancer, does not kill it.


small fraction of genetic mutation wont respond to first gen gleevac, need second gen gleevac.


3 types of developments

Observational (hey these people get cancer)


empirical (hey this causes cancer in labs)


epidemiolocial (hey this population tends to have this disease)

Miller hypothesis

most if not all chem carcinogens consiste of or can become an electrophile, which reacts with a nucleic acid or protein.

Non miller carcinogens

nongenotoxic carcinogens.

Friedwald and rous

Painted mice with 3MC got cancer, initiated cells. added turpentine (chloroplastic agent) or wounding, lead to tumor development.

Murine two stage carcinogenesis protocol

stage one: put carcinogen dose on back. wait, nothing happens. put a promoter on (continually treat for a while) get papillomas, sometimes get SSC.

Initiator

genotoxic



initiation creates the genotoxic changes needed for cancer to form. Promotion merely activates those changes. Promotion alone wont cause cancer. Needs to be on initiated cells.

promoter

nongenotoxic



Nongenotoxic Epigenetic Affect gene regulation, not the genes themselves



They don’t have to be carcinogens on their own. Don’t necessarily cause cancer Complete carcinogens do have promoting activity. Do both promotion and initiation

3 types of common skin cancer in US

SCC


BCC


Melanoma

Dosage of carcinogen

greater dose, more likely cancer.

are carcingens =

no!

Procarcinogens

Pro carcinogens are carcinogens that haven’t yet been activated/put into a carcinogen form. P450 and phase 1 phase 2 molecules are used to catabolize molecules in the cell. Lots of factors: location of cells, individual person. Lots of variety.

Phase I and Phase II molecules:

Phase II enzymes mask the functional group. Conjugate Phase I modify

term that causes differntial sensitivity to things within a species/different species

polymorphism

why stem cells?

Live for a long time and are phenotypically vauge. Normally rarely divide.

Protooncogenes, TSG and two stage model

Protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes both need to be effected in order for cancer to occur. Need to accumulate a lot of mutations in these both.

Screening and cancer

Doesn't always save lives, can cause mental stress, detect cancer that isn't fatal, detect cancer early that wouldve been detected later and could have been treated fine.

Tumor cell targets:

o Growth factors


Extracellular matrix


Angiogenic pathways o Cell survival pathways • mTor o signaling pathways • Ras, MAPK o Tumor associated antigens • Targets for drugs. o Proteasome

5FU

block dTMP synthesis by blocking thymidine synthase. dUMP analogue, deletes enzyme activty and can kill stop dna replication.

Bevacizumab

Binds to VEGF, inhibits it. prevents angiogensies

axtinib

RTK


Binds further down RTK, affet angiogenic growth factors


antitumor due to lack of blood vessels and tumor necrosis.

Oxygen and cancer

Too much or too little. hypoxic areas don't allow drug in. tumor is dormant there. radiation and other drugs need oxygen to work.


radiation can kill some cells, which relieves oncotic pressure, and decreases cell tumor size.



blood flow can be viewed by DCE MRI (dynamic contrast mri)


function of protein interactions

amongst others, leads to transcription

protooncogenes

normally promote normal growth


mutated, become oncogenes

Vertical Transfer

MMTV

No oncogene in the virus, but activates an oncogene

MMTV, Leukemia Viruses

acute transforming tumor retrovisures

rare, capture genes with oncogenes, need helper virus to replicated, cellular genes might prmote growth of transduced cells


HIV

increases cancer by reducing immune system

RNA viruses

Leukemia viruses I and II


HIVI

Oncogene types

viral and cellular

Mutation leading to RAS oncogene

GTPase activity inhibition, constituitively bound GTP

CMyc

• Oncogene • Burkitts lymphoma: csome translocations activate it. • Insertion of retrovirus LTR causes c-myc overexpression • C-myc isn’t altered though, just its expression i.s

Example oncogenes

Cmyc, Csrc, RAS, BCLT

viral oncogenes

• Oncogene of viral origins • Vsrc o Viral, can be inserted into cell o Rous sarcoma virus in chicken o Oncogene (not proto) o Related to Csrc, but without activation section.

cellular oncogenes

• Cellular orgins • C-src. o Protooncogenes. o Can be mutated to be overexpressed or have increased activity.

Somatic mutations

o Consistent observations, changes in somatic cells. o Burkitts lymphoma • Translocation which activates oncogene o Ras oncogene, put in mic fibroblasts, cause tumors • Causes cancer in humans o Follilculatr lymphomas, • BCL2 oncogene always defregulated by trasnlocations on the gene o Activated human oncogenes cause corresponding tumors in transgenic mice. • Genes mutate in human cancer, make transgenic mice, causes cancer.

Oncogenes

o Promote proliferation o Dominant, highly conserved o Types • Viral • Cellular

TF

trasncription facotr: regulate genes, increase/decrease expression, incresae and decrease oncogene transcription

Chromatin remodelers

move chromatin, effect expression epigenetically

growth factors

• Auto and paracrine • Too much growth factor, increases growth. • Changes in receptors that are responsible for carrying signals. • Change in receptor, change in signaling

cell cycle regulators

regulate cell cycle! haha

apoptosis regulators

cell s must die, if disrupted they wont, if they survive they can become cancerous.

TSG Concept

• Brief concept: o Can go over full lecture, possibly add something: we’ll summarize later in the lecture. • A type of gene that makes a protein called tumor suppressor protein that helps control cell growth. Mutations (changes in DNA) in tumor suppressor genes may lead to cancer. o AKA anti-oncogene.
