Neoplasia: Tumor Supressor Gene Flashcards
Tumor suppressor gene with intact oncogene
Quiescence
Permanent cell cycle arrest rather than uncontrolled proliferation
Senescence
Tumor suppressor genes activity
- Growth inhibitory pathways
- Pro-differentiation
- Mitogenic signals
Those 3 activity of TSG originates outside the cells and use
Receptors
Signal transducers
Nuclear transcription regulation
First TSG discovered
RB or retinoblastoma gene
Prototype of gene of this type
RB
Familial RB
40%
Autosomal dominant
10,000 folds
Carriers of RB
Both eyes
Develop osteosarcoma and other soft tissue sarcoma
60%
Occur sporadic
One eye only
Occurence of RB
Two hit hypothesis of oncogenesis
Pathogenesis of RB
2 mutations of RB focus on chromosome 13q14
Both RB mutation in tumor retinal cell acquired
Sporadic form
All somatic cells inherit one mutated copy of RB gene
Familial form
In familial case first hit
Inherit one defective copy of the RB gene
Second hit
Spontaneous somatic mutation
1 RB mutated in retinoblastoma
Sporadic two hit point
Both RB must undergo somatic mutation in the same retinoblast
Genetic trait associated with germ line mutation in RB
Autosomal
Loss of function mutations in the RB gene
Recessive
Child is normal if carrying
Inherited mutant RB in all somatic cell
Inhibitor of mitogenic signaling pathways
APC NF1 NF2 PTCH PTEN SMAD2 SMAD4
Inhibitor of cell cycle progression
RB
CDKN2A
Inhibitor of RAS/MAPK signaling
NF1
Inhibitor of WNT signaling
APC
Inhibitor of PI3K /AKT signaling
PTEN
Inhibitor of G1/S
RB
P16
P14
Indirect activator of p53
CDKN2A
