28
Q

platelet tumor aggregates

A

in bloodstream

-may favor cell survival and implant of tumor cells

29
Q

CD44

A

on T cells and is used to migrate in lymphoid tissue
-binds hyaluronate

overexpression of CD44 may cause metastasis

30
Q

most metastasis

A

first capillary bed they meet

31
Q

breast cancer cells

A

secrete PTHRP

  • stimulate RANK and RANK-L from osteoblast
  • activate osteoclast degradation of bone matrix
32
Q

clonal evolution model

A

as mutations accumulate

-subset of tumor cells that have right genes for metastasis arise

33
Q

metastasis suppressor gene

A

loss of this gene promotes metastasis

34
Q

metastasis oncogenes

A

favors development of metastasis

SNAIL and TWIST

35
Q

mir335 and mir126

A

suppress metastasis of breast cancer

36
Q

mir10b

A

promote metastasis

37
Q

DNA repair systems

A

mismatch repair
nucleotide excision repair
recombination repair

38
Q

HNPCC syndrome

A

defective mismath repair

genes MSH2 and MLH1

microsatellite instability

39
Q

xeroderma pigmentosa

A

defective nucleotide excision repair

risk of cancers after UV exposure

40
Q

blood syndrome

A

defective homologous recombination repair

41
Q

ataxia-telangiectasia

A

defective homologous recombination repair

mutated ATM
-DNA damage by ionizing radiation

42
Q

fanconi anemia

A

defective homologous recombination repair

43
Q

BRCA1 and BRCA2

A

mutated in patients with breast cancer

44
Q

stromal microenvironment

A

host stromal cells, ECM, and inflammation can modulate tumor growth

45
Q

warburg effect

A

cancer cells use glycolysis
-increased need for glucose
“aerobic glycolysis”

pyruvate can be shunted to synthesis other cell constituents

46
Q

mTOR pathway

A

stimulated by growth factors to increase glucose and AA uptake

47
Q

PTEN

A

promotes autophagy

48
Q

burkitt lymphoma

fusion of BCR-ABL genes
-from translocation

chromosome 9 and 22

constitutive kinase activity

50
Q

A

translocation

51

common in non-hematopoietic solid tumors

-ex. RB gene

52
Q

A

in breast cancer

54
Q

A

global DNA hypomethylation and promoter localized hypermethylation (for tumor suppressors)

55
Q

methylation

A

inactivates genes

56
Q

evolution of colorectal cancer

57
Q

p53

A

on chromosome 17p

58
Q

direct acting carcinogenic agents

A

no metabolic conversion necessary

59

A

initiation followed by promotion

61
Q

aflatoxin B1

A

from aspergillus

correlation with hepatocellular carcinoma

chemical carcinogen

62
Q

sun light that causes cancer
