Q

explain the steps that drive cell proliferation

A
  • Myc-Transcription factor that drives cell prolif
  • Myc increases G1-cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK)
  • CDK phosphorylates retinoblastoma (Rb)
  • Phospho-Rb releases sequestered E2F
  • E2F- TF that drives cells from G1 to S phase

Q

simplified cell proliferation cascade

A

Myc increases CDK which phosphorylates Rb which releases E2F which drives cells from G1 to S phase

Q

E2F drives expression of what?

A

Cyclin E and Cyclin A

these activate CDK2

CDK2 hyper-phosphorylates Rb (inactive)

which activates E2F

allow transition pass G1 checkpoint

Q

What are the CDK inhibitory proteins?

Q

how is cyclin regulated

A

cyclin turnover is regulated by signal-dependent protein degradation

Metaphase to Anaphase triggered by cyclin turnover

regulator (APC/C) cyclosome

which is a ubiquitin ligase family of enzymes

19
Q

what happens in order to move into anaphase in the cell cycle?

A

Cyclin-S and Cylin-M must be down regulated

APC/C activated by Cdc20 (binding)

APC/C poly ubiquitinates S and M cyclin

which go to proteosome destruction

no cyclins=inactive Cdk (dephosph)

Q

What are the ubiquitylation enzymes in APC/C regulation

A

E1 and E2

21
Q

P53 and the cell cycle

A
22
Q

P21 and the cell cylce

A

it is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI)

usually CDK2

can do all cyclin/CDK complexes

23
Q

extrinsic pathway (apoptosis)

A
24
Q

Intrinsic pathway (apoptosis)

A
25
Q

Caspase activation

A

first procaspase which is activated by protease cleavage

form a large and small subunit (heterodime)

26
Q

BCL-2 family

A

Bax and Bak are pro-apoptotic

while Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL are anti-apoptotic

27
Q

Role of Bax

A
28
Q

Apaf1 and its role in the intrinsic pathway

A
29
Q

Factors that increase expression P53 BAX and BAK

A

tBid (caspase-8 activates Bid to tBId)

this is for BAX and BAK

DNA damage for P53

30
Q

What inhibits free cytochome C?

A

BCL-2

BCL-XL

31
Q

What inhibits Apaf1 binding to cytochrome C?

A

BCL-2

32
Q

proto-oncogene vs oncogene

A
33
Q

Retinoblastoma role with cancer

A

it is a tumor suppressor

sequester E2F and prevents to much cell division

34
Q

Hereditary retinoblastoma

A

mutation or deletion in one Rb1

if another mutation then no more sequester E2F

(common tumors in eyes)

35
Q

sporadic retinoblastoma

A

non-hereditary

needs both copies of Rb1 to be mutated

36
Q

metastasis suppressors

A

cell adhesion proteins

(prevent tumor cells from dispersing

block loss of contact inhibition

inhibit tumor metastasis

37
Q

affect of mutation on early and late stages of cancer

A
38
Q

The different hallmarks of cancer

A
39
Q

Viral oncogenes

A
  • virus infects host
  • viral genome integrates into host genome next to proto-oncogene
  • replicates with hosts proto-onco
  • proto-onc mutates to oncogene
  • infects normal cell making it tumor cell
40
Q

HPV

A

E6 binds p53 causes degredation

E7 binds Rb causes E2F to be unbound

41
Q

Chemo types

A
42
Q

Herceptin

A

binds HER2 receptor which doesnt allow dimerization

which leads to degredation or lysis

(breast cancer)

43
Q

Gleevec

A

chronic myelogenous leukemia

44
Q

Erbitux

A

cetuximab

binds ligand that binds EGFR receptor a TK

blocks action

glioblastoma

45
Q

HER2 to oncogene

A

Val switched to glutamine causes TK activity activated in absence of ligand

Breast Cancer

46
Q

EGF receptor to oncogene

A

EGFRvIII after deletion

TK activity is always active

glioblastoma

47
Q

ABL and BCR

A

by them selves fine but the fuse it goes into nucleus and acts as TF and cell cylce increase

Chronic Myelogenous leukemia
