Cancer

?

1. How is proliferation controlled in normal cells

  • Activate oncogenes transiently (i.e for a short by mitogens) and INactivate tumour suppressor genes transeintly
  • Uncontroled activation of oncogenes and deactivation of tumour supressor genes

2. How can Mitotic crossover play a role in cancer?

  • It is an event where a cancer causing dominant allele is sometimes expressed and thus predispose the cell causing development of cancer
  • It is an event where a cancer causing reccesive allele may be expressed and thus predispose the cell causing development of cancer
  • It does not play a role

3. What does the tumour supressor gene do?

  • e.g.P35 gene encoded by the TP53 gene on the short arm of chromosome 17 and regulates cell cycle
  • The proteins can't initiate apoptosis if DNA damage is irreparable
  • They code for proteins that control cell cycle progression/proliferation (many of which are check point genes.
  • Can't induce growth arrest at G1/S regulation point (restriction point)
  • They code for signalling proteins that codes signalling molecules e.g growth factors, protein kinase and transcription factor

4. Which of these is correct for a normal cell?

  • Loss of differentiation
  • Apoptosis doesn't occur
  • By reducing the immune barrier
  • balance between the growth promoting and restriction factors
  • Continue cell proliferation
  • balance process disrupted

5. BCR ABL kinases don't

  • transcriptional deregulation of cell
  • initiate deregulation of signalling network
  • Initiate denaturing of checkpoint proteins
  • initiate abnormal signalling pathways
