Q

What is defective in cystic fibrosis?

A

absence of a single amino acid of the CFTR protein which leads to misfolding, ER retention, and degradation. Also, excess accumulation exceeds the capacity of the ER to respond leading to apoptosis.

20
Q

Which cells have an especially prominent golgi complex?

A

Goblet cells of the intestine, bronchial epithelium, and plasma cells

21
Q

What type of cells have more smooth ER?

A

Cells that synthesize steroid hormones (gonads/adrenals) or that catabolize lipid soluble molecules (liver)

22
Q

What are lysosomal enzymes tagged with?

A

mannose-6-phosphate

23
Q

Things marked with ubiquitin are destined to be digested by what?

A

proteosomes

24
Q

What mitochondrial inner membrane protein can use the electron transport chain to produce heat instead of ATP?

A

thermogenin

25
Q

Explain the Warburg effect

A

Pure oxidative phosphorylation produces abundant ATO but also uses up all glucose leaving no building blocks. So, rapidly growing cells (both benign and malignant) upregulate glucose and glutamine uptake and decrease their productin of ATP per glucose molecule.

26
Q

What signaling pathways are associated with growth factor signaling pathways that drive cell proliferation?

A

Tyrosine kinase and GTP binding

27
Q

What type of signaling is associated with pathways that regulate normal development?

A

Triggering a proteolytic event or change in protein binding or stability that activates a latent transcription factor

28
Q

Name the Growth factor: Mitogenic for keratinocytes and fibroblasts; stimulates keratinocyte migration; stimulates formation of granulation tissue

A

Epidermal growth factor (EGF)

29
Q

Name the growth factor: stimulates proliferation of hepatocytes and many other epithelial cells

A

Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha)

30
Q

Name the growth factor: Enhances prolferation of hepatocytes and other epithelial cells; increases cell motility

A

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) (scatter factor)

31
Q

Name the growth factor: Stimulates proliferation of endothelial cells; increases vascular permeability

A

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)

32
Q

Name the growth factor: Chemotactic for neutrophils, macrophages, fibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells; activates and stimulates proliferation of fibroblasts, endothelial, and other cells; stimulates ECM protein synthesis

A

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)

33
Q

Name the growth factor: chemotactic and mitogenic for fibroblasts; stimulates angiogenesis and ECM protein synthesis

A

Fibroblast Growth factors (FGFs), including acidic (FGF-1) and basic (FGF-2)

34
Q

Name the growth factor: chemotactic for leukocytes and fibroblasts; stimulates ECM protein synthesis; suppresses acute inflammation

A

Transforming growth factor-BETA (TGF-BETA)

35
Q

Name the growth factor: stimulates keratinocyte migration, proliferation, and differentiation.

A

Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) (FGF-7)

36
Q

What growth factor receptor mutations frequently occur in a number of cancers including those of the lung, head and neck, breast, and brain?

A

EGF and TGF-alpha; EGFR1 tyrosine kinase activity

37

What is the receptor for HGF?

A

MET

38
Q

What diseases are associated with over expression of MET?

A

Renal and thyroid papillary carcinomas

39
Q

Antibodies against VEGF are approved for treatment of what?

A

Renal and Colon Cancers and a number of ophthalmic diseases

40
Q

What are the 2 basic forms of ECM?

A

Interstitial matrix and basement membrane

41
Q

What are the 3 groups of proteins that make up the components of the ECM?

A

1: Fibrous Structural proteins
2: Water hydrated gels
3: Adhesive glycoproteins

42
Q

Osteogenesis imperfecta and certain forms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are due to genetic defects in what?

A

collagens

43
Q

What type of collagen is type IV?

A
