Week 1 Cell Injury Flashcards
continuously dividing cells
are stem cells
exampled of continuously dividing cells
basal cells in epidermis, hemopoietic cells in the bone
Quiescent or stable cells
develop into whatever cell they want to be and sits in G0 until need
example of quiescent cells
liver cells, renal cells, smooth muscle cell, fibroblast
for example>liver transplant>loss a piece of liver> liver cells (leave out of G0) begin to divide again to recover parts that’s missing
non-dividing cells (permanent cells)
cannot divide no more
examples of non-dividing cells
neurons, heart cells
cells go through hypertrophy due to inability to divide again
two types of stem cells
embryonic stem cells
tissue stem
what does totipotent mean
develop into any cell they want
what are growth factors
signal when cells need to divide
where are the three check points in the cell cycle
G1, G2, M
what occurs in G1 checkpoint
check to see if proteins are available for replication
G2 checkpoint consist of
did replication go okay? no send into G0 (prepare for repair or apoptosis)
M checkpoint
check to see if each chromosomes consist of spindles> chromosomes split correctly
why are cyclins important
they also control if the cell can advance to the next stage
cyclins bind to kinase> causes phosphorylation> trigger translation/transcription
what a cyclins removed by
proteasomes
proto-oncogenes
normal gene coding for proteins
they tell cells when they need to grow (coding proteins)
what happens when a proto-oncogene is mutated/or structure manipulated
creates and activates oncogenes>causes uncontrolled cell growth> POTENTIAL cancer/disease
examples of proto-oncogenes mutated
HER2 gene (breast cancer)
BCR-ABL (chronic myeloid leukemia)
explain BCR-ABL (proto-oncogene)
ABL1(proto-oncogene) gene on chromosome 9 breaks off> attaches to the BCR gene on chromosome 22>BCR-ABL1> CML
HER2 gene pathway
HER2 (proto-oncogene)> mutated> b/c oncogenic> cancer
tumor suppressor gene
loss of function
what happens if TSG is mutated
TSG mutated> loss ability to stop damaged cell> cell continues to grow> cell build up > hyperplasia (>dysplasia> cancer)
most commonly known TSG is p53
Retinoblastoma
cancer occuring in the eye usually young children
explain what causes retinoblastomas
Rb gene(a type of TSG)> loss ability to block cell cycle progression>causes cancer due to uncontrollable cell growth
