Cancer: Genes and pathways
![Page 3: Please write your field of dissertation on the blank sheet](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081604/56816743550346895ddbf8d2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cancer: A genetic disease
• Three main responsible genes:– Oncogenes– Tumor-suppressor genes – Stability genes
• Mutation in single gene can cause the disease but can’t cause the cancer.
• Cancer cause due to multiple defective genes.
• If germline mutation in above genes then predispositions to Cancer and if in somatic then sporadic tumors.
• The most common mutations, in germline, are subtle (point mutations or small deletions or insertions), whereas all types of mutation can be found in tumor cells.

How Proto-Oncogenes Become Oncogenes
• Point mutations, deletions, or insertions that lead to a hyperactive gene product
• Point mutations, deletions, or insertions in the promoter region of a proto-oncogene that lead to increased transcription
• Gene amplification events leading to extra chromosomal copies of a proto-oncogene
• Chromosomal translocation events that relocate a proto-oncogene to a new chromosomal site that leads to higher expression
• Chromosomal translocations that lead to a fusion between a proto-oncogene and a second gene, which produces a fusion protein with oncogenic activity

Oncogene activations
• Defective gene formation due to:– Chromosomal translocations– Gene amplifications – Subtle intragenic mutations

valine to a glutamate: activates the enzyme even in the absence of signals
Note: In case of Sickle-cell disease Glu replace with Val.

A mutation in an oncogene is analogous to a stuck accelerator in an vehicle

Tumor-suppressor genes
• Mutation involves in declivity of gene activity by following methods: – Missense mutations at residues that are essential
for its activity– Mutations that result in a truncated protein– Deletions or insertions of various sizes– Epigenetic silencing.

mutation in a tumor-suppressor gene is analogous to a dysfunctional brake in an automobile

Oncogene and tumor-suppressor gene mutations: coordinated function
• Force the NEOPLASTIC process by:– Increasing tumor cell number through the
stimulation of cell birth.– Inhibition of cell death or cell-cycle arrest. – The increase can be caused by activating genes
that drive the cell cycle.– Inhibiting normal apoptotic processes.– Facilitating the provision of nutrients through
enhanced angiogenesis.

Stability Genes or Caretakers
• Promotes tumorigenesis due to mutation in following genes:– Mismatch repair (MMR) gene – Nucleotide-excision repair (NER) gene– Base-excision repair (BER) gene
• (genes responsible for repairing subtle mistakes made during normal DNA replication or induced by exposure to mutagens)

cdk4 (a kinase)
Rb (a transcription factor)
p16 (which interacts with and inhibits cdk4)
Rb and p16 are tumor-suppressor genes
cdk4 and cyclin D1 are oncogenes
p53: protein is a transcription factor that normally inhibits cell growth and stimulates cell death when induced by cellular stress
APC: adenomatous polyposis coil
GLI: glioma-associated oncogene
HIF-1: hypoxia-inducible transcription factor -1
PI3K: phosphoinositide3-kinase (PI3K)
SMADs: are intracellular proteins that transduce extracellular signals from transforming growth factor beta ligands to the nucleus where they activate downstream TGF-ß gene transcription.
receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs)

Tumors
Solid Tumor Liquid Tumor
Leukemias and lymphomas, composed of neoplastic cells whose precursors are
normally mobile
Epithelial or mesenchymal cells that normally are immobile.
Other differences
1. Three mutations seem to be required to develop a malignant solid tumor in adults
2. chromosome translocations are much less common in solid tumors
1. Only one or two mutations may be required to develop a malignant liquid tumor
2. Oncogene activations caused by chromosome translocation events are the most common genetic alterations observed in liquid tumors
Inactivations of tumor-suppressor genes are ubiquitious
