what are the 4 classes of genes implicated in cancers
1. DNA repair
2. Tumor Suppressor (LOF, 2 mutations)
3. Oncogenes, growth: (GOF, 1 mutation)
4. Apoptosis

**for cancer we need mutations in multiple classes over time. we will have anaplasia and angiogenesis as the tumor grows. MUST have BV
whats malignant trasnformation

2. evade apoptosis
3. defective DNA repair
4. can replicate like none other
5. angiogenesis
6. metastasis
7. escape immune

we need everyhing, not JUST defect in DNA repair we also need tumor suppressor, oncogenes, and failure of apoptosis
real quick, review the cell cycle
1. GF binds to cell membrane
2. R is activated and activates signal transduction
3. 2 messenger as TF
4. Entry/Progression into the cell cycle resulting in cell division
whats a protooncogene

2. Onco- the mutated form. it CANT control proliforation

**oncogenes need only 1 mutation bc they are GOF
wehats the mech of oncogene activation
1. Mutation
2. Amplification
3. Overexpression of gene product
4. translocation for activation
ok so how many alleles need to be lost for oncogenes adn tumor suppressor genes
Oncogenes: one allelic mutation lets proliforation occur, its a GOF. ONE

Tumor SUppressor: TWO, its a loss of fx so BOTH copies need to be lost
The 2 oncogenes that are GROWTH FACTORS are...

what are their gene products
what cancer is associated with it
how many alleles are knocked out
1. PDGF, cis gene, glioblastoma
2. FGF, HST gene, KS, gastric cacner

its an ONCOGENE so 1 mutation
what type of R are GF R
tyrosine kinase

**oncogenic R dimerize and activate wo binding to GF
**oncogene so only 1 allele needed
the oncogenes for GF were PDGFb and FGF. what are the oncogenes for GF RECEPTORS
1. ERB B1: epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). associated with lung, head, neck carcinoma. Tx with monoclonal AB against EGFR and tyrosine kinase inhibitors
what cancers are associated with EGFR? whats tx? whats the oncogene
lung carcinoma
head
neck

Goal of Tx: AB against the EGFR and RTK inhibitors. the problem is the R so target it

Oncogene is ERB B1
what are the 2 oncogenic GF receptor genes
1. ERB B1: EGFR, lung, neck, head carcinoma. tx with monoclonal AB and RTK inhibitor

1. ERB B2- Her 2 neu. overexpressed in breast cancer. POOR PROGNOSTIC marker. Tx with monoclonal AB (trastuzamab)
what is her 2 neu
its a GF receptor that is overexpressed in some breast cancers.

its a BAD prognostic marker

tx with monoclonal AB, trastuzamab, (cardiotoxic, balance)

its an oncogene, 1 mutation required
what are the 2 oncogenes that are signal transduction molecules
1. RAS

2. abl
Ras Oncogene

1. Actions
2. activation?
3. Cacners
4. how many alleles
1. Actions: GTP binding protein, active with GTP and signals transduction. RAS is inactivated by intrinsic GTPase, GAPs and NF1. When we get that point mutation RAS wont turn off and we get LOTS of cell signaling to promote growth

2. Activation: point mutation due to chemical injury, prevents RAS from turning off.

3. Cancers: colon,pancreas adenocarcinoma

4. one mutation, its an oncogene
whats NF1
its a tumor supressor gene, 2 mutations

*it is the brakes on RAS (recall RAS is a signal transduction when bound stim signaling. associated with colon/pancreas adenocarcinoma)

**NF1 is a GAP, GTPase activating protein, it makes GDP on RAS and turns if off

*NF1 mutation leads to neurofibromatosis
whats ABL
a signal transduction oncogene (same category as RAS), onco so 1 mutation needed

*no signal needed
*activated by a 9, 22 translocation, philadelphia translocation at break point location

**BCR, ABL philadelphia chromosome

**seen in CML, ALL
if my pt has CML what am I looking for
t (9,22)

philadelphia chromosome, fusion of ABL with BCR

**its a signal transduction oncogene, 1 mutation
jak stat is associated with what cancer
oncogene, signal transducation

MYELOID cells in BM, talk about in winter
what are the TF oncogene we need to know

how many alleles are mutated
whats it fx
how is it activated
cacners
detection
MYC- TF that binds to DNA and gets transcription going, OVEREXPRESSION is oncogenic

1. Allels: 1 mutaiton, oncogene
2. Fx: it binds to DNA and activates transcriptionbu
3. Activation:
4. cacners: Burkitts Lymphone t(8:14) and many others. N-MYC in neuroblastoma means poor prognosis. L-MYC in lung

5. Detection
FIST- translocation (8,14) in burkittes. or look for double minutes or homogenous staining region for neuroblastoma
ingeneral what do the oncogenes that are TF do
control entry into and progression through cell cycle

MYC is the example
whats t(8,14) associated with
MYC overexpresstion. MYC is the TF that gets DNA transcription going. so when its mutated such that it is overexpressed we have TONS of transcroption- ONCOGENIC (1 allele)

associated with Burkitts
N-MYC- poor prognosis in neuroblastoma
L-MYC in lung
detection of MYC depends on...
the cancer that it gives, but in both cases uses FISH

Burkitts: t(8,14)
Nueroblastoma (N-MYC) look for homogenous staining region, indicative of amplification
burkits lymphoma is associated with what
MYC overexpression (TF that activated DNA transcription)

t(8,14)

N-MYC is also seen in neuroblastoma with HSR (homogenous stainging region)
what are CDK's
Cyclin Dependent Kinases, regulate cell cycle.

activated by Pi

C-D binds/activated CDK4 in G1
C-E regulates S phase, initiation of DNA replication
others regulate DNA production, mitosis
what are the really important cell cycle check points
G1- S transition, stop to check for DNA damage

G2- M transition, make sure repair happened

**one or more of these regulators is not working in human cancer
what cell cycle regulators are dyxfx in cancer

where do cell cycle oncogenes act

what are the forms of dysregulation?
1. Cyclin D- overexpression in breast and more
Cyclin D1- translocation
CDK4- amplification in glioblastoma, melanoma

Cyclin D1
CDK4
Oncogenes! 1 mutation

1. Cyclin D- overexpression in breast carcinoma
2. Cyclin D1- translocation in lymphoma
3. CDK4- amplification in glioblastoma
so one thing we need for cancer to grow is the ability to NOT listen to what
INHIBITORY growth factors

tumor suppressor genes!!! need BOTH alleles mutated
what is a gatekeeper gene
regulate cell growth, brakes on cell proliforation

tumor suppressor gene, need loss of fx mutation (loose 2 alleles)
when do we have a cacner that wont listed to stop growing signals
when we have tumor suppressors

"escape from senescence"
2 mutations must happen,
loss of heterozygosity seen in familial cacners
what are some familial cancers that have loss of heterozygosity
a pt is born with one copy mutated and then they get somatic mutation of another.

Rb- familial retinoblastoma
WT1- Wilms, nephroblastoma
VHL: vonHippel Lindau: clear cell renal carcinoma
whats CpG island methylation (CIMP), whats the normal fx, whats the fx in cancer
areas of hypermethylation that are common in promoter regions

normal fx is to shut off an X in females
BUT can contribute to cancer by silencing tumor suppressors, pro apaptotic, DNA repair, and anti angiogenesis genes

Rb, VHL, BRCA1, mismatch rapair genes are all shut off with CIMP
ok so we learned about familial Retinoblastoma, wilms tumor, and von hippel lindau. what do they all have in common
they are all familiar cancers that are associated with loss of heterozygosity.

RB
WT1
VHL
*the genes responsible are tumor suppressors and all are mutated in the person but they also have one good copy so are "norml" when they loose the 2 copy they get cancer
ok so what in the workd turns off our good genes, genes like:

tumor suppressors
Pro Apototic
DNA repair
Anti Angiogenesis
CpG islant hypermutation turns them off

**normally they are found in promoter regions of the X chromosomes to turn one copy off in gilrs
what tumors do you get with CDK inhibitor dysfunction
ok... so the inhibitor cant be shut off so we get cancer

Inhibitor p16: inhibits Rb. leads to HPV, familial melanoma.
p21 induced by
p27 responds to
p16 inhibits

**these are cell cycle inhibitors
p53
TGFb
Rb- this is a tumor suppressor, so we dont want p16 inhibiting it!! can lead to fimilial melanoma, HPV- E7, Adenovirus EIA polymavirus, RETINOBLASTOMA, osteosarcoma

**cell cycle inhibitors. so if CDK4 and cyclin D, stop the cell cycle to look for DNA damage the INHIBITOR wont allow the cycle to stop and damaged DNA is treplicated- bad news
whats the fx of Rb

what cell cycle inhibitor acts on it
its a tumor suppressor that slows the tansition from G1 to S, its active when it is HYPOphosphorylated. Rb inhibits Transcroption of E2F
what happens with Rb has little Pi on it
its active and will SLOW the cell cycle by slowing transtion btwn G1 and S

Rb when active then acts to decreases TF for E2F, E2F makes S phase genes

when Rb is hyperphosphorylated is active and it will transcribe S phase genes via E2F
what inactivates Rb fx
1. Rb mutaiton, deletion
2. Gene Silencing via hypermethylation
3. Cyclin D, CDK4 activation (pi RB to turn it off)
4. p16INK4a inactivation (turns cell cycle on so Rb is off)
whats the interplay btwn Cyclin D and CDK4 and Rb
Cyclin D and CDK4 will Pi Rb so that it is OFF!!!

Cell cycle progresses

Rb like to put the brakes on the cell cycle but when its hyper Pi it cant!!!!
whats the interplay btwn p16INK4a inactivation and Rb
well p16 will turn ON Cyclin D and CDK4 so that the cell cycle is on Rb is Pi (OFF) (when p16 is inhibited it leads to cacner, so the inhibitor is OFF)

**cell cycle progresses

**Rb malfx in Retinoblastoma, HPV, Osteosarcoma
what are the fx of p53

whats the gene, what chromosome
Gate keeper! regulated cell growth, puts the brakes on proliferation 2 alleles for cacner,

Gene: Tp53, 17

Ok so here is the story, anoxia, oncogene expression, DNA damage triggers p53 path which will:
1. arrest cell cycle, p21
2. permanet cell arrest, (senescense)
3. apoptosis, BAX
what familial syndrome is assocated with p53 mutaion

p53 is activated by...
and causes...
Activation:
anoxia, oncogene expression, DNA damage

Causes
1. Arrest cell cycle, p21
2. Permanet cell arrest,
3. Apoptosis, BAX (BAX kills BAD cells)

50% of ALL tumors have p53 mutation
when p53 is mutated what happens
we cant repair the damage or kill the cell so we get anaplasia, malignant cells
tell me about p53 and sensing DNA damage, how is the cell cycle approached, is DNA repaired, what happnes if it is, what if its not
ATM, Rad3 sense DNA damage and upreg p53

1. p53 arrests cell cycle via p21 (CDKI)
2. p53 binds to DNA to control repair genes
3. If repaired happy cell
4. If NOT repaired p53 can make BAX to kill the cell OR put the cell into PERMANENT cell cycle arrest
the p53 family member p73 does what
apoptosis in cancer cells damaged by chemo
how are p53 and p21 related
when p53 is high it makes p21 which then arrests the cell cycle at G1 (p53 can now bind to and check the DNA will either repaair, kill, or perm arrest)

p21 is a CDKI
what happens with a homozygoius loss of p53
promotes malignant transfrmation

the cell can no longer use p52 to...
1. Upreg p21 and put cell cycle in arrest
2. bind to and repair/sense DNA damage. ATM
3 make BAX to kill kill cell
4. permamnetly arrest it

VHL--> HIFa

**we get renal cell carcinoma, oheochromocytoma, hemangioblastomp
what are the fx and neoplasms related to PTEN
its a tumor suppressor so we are thinking...2 gene mutations

Phosphate and Tensin Homologue
*dephosphorylates things to turn them off:
PI3K/AKT- prosurvival path
affects RAS and p53
ok so whats the main thing PTEN acts on
PI3K/AKT path, this is a prosurvival path. it is turned OFF by PTEN

**when we have mutated PTEN we can no longer turn off the proliforation path, PI3K/AKT and so we get LOTS of proloforation and decreased apoptosis -->

**PTEN mutation is 2 most common mutation in cacner

**familial mutation leads to cowden syndrome (benign appendages harmatoma, increase risk of cancer). a homozygous mutation leads to endometrial cacner
what normally inhibits the prosurvival PI3K/AKT path, what happens when its turned off
normally inhibited by PTEN

**when PTEN is mutated we can get cacner! common mutation in cancer (2 most common)

**Cowden syndrome- familir mutation, breast cacner, benign skin appendages hamartomas

homologous recombination

Breast
Ovary
ATM
Fanconi Anemia

z**hypersensitive to e rays and damaging things
whats the role of telomerase and telomers in cacner
no telomerase in cells so we have limited replicative capacity. cancer cells have telomerase so can divide and divide adn divede

p53 mutation

**give the cancer limitless ability to divide
how can cancer sustain angiogenesis
why is it important

what are the vessels like
Cancer NEEDS BV to support it, even if they are tortous, and leaky

Continuous growth in response to VGEF- VGEF is activated by..
1. HIFa (recall VHL is the brakes)

1. HIFa
2. MYC

dilated, tortous, leaky, irregular, not normal location
what are angiostatin and endostatin
antiangiogenesis factors

cancer will eventually make HIFa and MYC to increase angiogenesis by increasing VEGF> this makes dilated leaky BV
what gives tumors the ability in invade and metastazise?

name the molecules
when tumor cells detach

Loss of E cadherins, decreased catenin protein

Type 4 collagen BM is degraded with MMP

Squamous Cell Carcinoma: ACTH like

EPO, polycycthemia
CEA
ONCOFETAL GENE ASSOCIATED WITH COLON CANCER
tobacco is assocaited with what cancers
mouth
larynx
esophagous
bladder

**when combind with asbestos you get bronchogenic cancer
ok so once a cancer has degraded the ECM and busted through teh ECM (loose E cadherin and catenin, BM killed with MMP9 cathepsin D nad urokinase plasminogen activatorh)

what is the next step
1. ATTACHMENT and MIGRATION
loose laminin and fibronectin receptors, loose polaity

move via attachment via fibronectin (like lots of little hands that move the cells along)

movement is also directed bvy Autocrine motility factor \- chemotatic

**CD44 lets it attach to BM of BV
how do metastatic cancer cells move
via attachment to fibrinectin receptors, like sticky hands

Autocrine motility Factor, Chemotacitc

**lets the tumor cell move through the ECM and find lymph or BV

*movement supported by preseases, MMP, integrins etc
what are hte 2 ways a tumor can enter a BV
1. Tumor Embolus- tumor cells surrounded by platelets

2. single tumor cell
whats intravasationo
when a tumor gets into BV as part of mets

CD44 lets it adhere to BV BM
TUmor can enter as an embolus covered in plateles or as a singel cell
how will a tumor adhere to activated endo
CD44

this is what happens when a tume invades BV

METS,. bad news. the tumor will then eventually leave the BV and make new ones in a 2 site
what determines sites of METS
1. drainaige, first filter, regionsl nodes
2. Metastatic Site Tropism: chemokines from target tissue can let or inhibit cancer

whats the warburg effect

clinical application
dominant metabolic path of cancer cells --> AEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS

mutatinos in PTEN, RAS, p53 and MYC help shift metabolism

**lets us use PET scan to see glucose uptake
whats the metabolism of malignant cancer
aerobic glycolysis

called warburg effect

**make it hypoxic to increase cell division of cacner. mutations in PTEN, RAS, p53, and MYC all alter metabolism

**lets us use PET scar to see glucose uptake
glucose uptake in cacner cetts via PET is allowed by
warburg effect, malignancies switch to aerobic glycolysis
whats the molecular multistep basis of cacner
each cancer gets accumulations of multiple mutaitons

**NO SINGLE ONCOGENES CAN FULLY TRANSFORM A CELL

several onco genes are at least 2 suppressor genes are mutant

**mutations are incremental over time and have phenotypic changes assocaited
what is the term that ID's cancer as being an accumulation of multiple mutaitons nad not a single oncogene mutaiton
molecular multistep basis of carcinogenesis

**mutations are incremental over time and are associated with phenotypic changes
normal epithelium has an APC mutaiont, there is then hyperproloforative epithelium and abbarent cryptic foci and COX 2 overexpression. the leads to a small adenoma, there is then a K RAS mutation and we get a larger adenoma, then there is a p53 mutation and a DCC mutaiton and we end up with invasive colon adenocarcinoma.

what does this illustrate
multistep evolution of colon cancer

accumulation of incremental changes over time. no cacners come from a SINGE oncogene mutaiton. mutations are associated with a phenotypic change
