Resource summary
Cancer Biochemistry
proliferation, evade suppression, immune, telomerase, angiogenesis, inflammation, genome instability, avoid apoptosis, metastasis, metabolism
ras - oncogene to make RAF active --> 30% all cancer, 90% pancreatic cancer
myc- oncogene --> burrito lymphoma; convert cell to use glycolysis with RAS
FOS - dimerize with JUN to make AP-1 (TF) --> osteosarcoma
tumor suppressors
Rb - normally bound to E2F to prevent activity when cyclin D is low - is hyperphosphorylated by CDK4/6+cyclinD
P53 - made in response to cancer caused cell damage to regulate transcription of GADD45 and P21
p21 is a CKI that inhibits CDK/cyclin
P53 will cause apoptosis if P21 doesnt work, will block telomerase, and will stimulate an angiogenesis inhibitor
E-Cadherin - normally causes cells to stick together but if mutated will allow tumor cells to break off and metastasize
APC - B-Catenin separated from E-cad is degraded by APC; if APC is gone, B-catenin will stimulate MYC which will allow for the tumor to use glycolysis
BRCA-1: double stranded break repair --> 80% of breast cancer
Cancers Caused
Myc - burkitt lymphoma
FOS/JUN - osteosarcoma
BRCA1/2 - breast cancer
Also Her2 & ERB-B2
Rb - sarcoma
APC - Familial Adenomatus polyposis
HIF - with normal O2, is modified with ROS and destroyed
with cancer, not degraded and goes to nucleus to stimulate VAGF and recruit endothelial cells along with PDGF to make platelets for blood vessels
Glycolysis - GLUT 1 stimulators
HIF
RAS
Mac
SHH binds PTCH which alleviates suppression of SMO (GPCR) in fetuses - this is not necessarily related to cancer
activates Ga-i
cAMP down regulated
activation of GLI (TF)
Other Ideas & Definitions
Tumor suppressor: Both alleles must be knocked out to allow unchecked growth (like brakes of a car)
Oncogene: 1 allele knocked out leads to accelerated growth (like adding NOS to a car)
4 possible mutations leading to cancer
radiation / chemical carcinogen (mutation is most likely in the promoter, through it could be in the structural gene also)
Gene rearrangement - putting a porto-oncogene onto a strong promoter
Virus - oncogene is inserted to genome behind a strong promoter
Gene amplification
