Oncology Flashcards
In cancer, oncogene expression and growth factor secretion are
Increased
Stage of cancer where there is immortalization
Benign stage
At this stage of cancer, DNA repair is inhibited
Cancerous
What are the characteristics of cancer
Clonality
Autonomy
Anaplasia
Metastasis
Mutation of cancer due to
Random replication errors
Exposure to carcinogens
Faulty DNA repair process
This is the pre form of a healthy gene
Proto-oncogene
Damage or loss of tumor suppressor genes are what type of mutation
Recessive mutation
This characteristic of cancer is dependent on the cell cycle
Autonomy
What are the mechanisms of autonomy
Growth factors secretion
Increased number of receptors
What activates CDK (Cyclin-Dependent Kinase)
Cyclin
What are the two forms of pRb (protein Retinoblastoma)
Phosphorylated
Dephosphorylated
What are the functions of E2F
Transcription factor
DNA synthesis
At what form of pRb where E2F is released
Phosphorlyated
What binds to Cyclin D
Cdk 2, 4, 5 and 6
At this phase where E2F binds to pRb again
Mitosis Phase
What inhibits Cyclin and Cdk’s activity
P15,p21 and p27
What is important for DNA repair
P21
What is the guardian of the genome
P53
What is the most area disrupted in cancer (cell cycle)
G1/S checkpoint
Which is part of the cell cycle is regulated by Cyclin B or cdc2
G2/M checkpoint
Loss of differentiated function
Bizarre-looking cells
Aneuploidy
Anaplasia
What are the triads of invasion of cancer
Adhesion with the basement membrane
Local proteolysis
Mobility
What are the two types of oncogene
v-Oncs
C- oncs
Viral
Cellular
What is the fuel of cancer
IKAW! Char
Glucose
