The State Education Institution of Higher Professional Training The First Sechenov Moscow State Medical University under Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation Department of Pathophysiology Disorders of tissue growth. Tumors. Lecture presentation Professor Pirozhkov S.V. 2014-2015 education year TYPICAL FORMS OF DISORDERS OF TISSUE GROWTH ● Pathologic hypertrophy ● Pathologic hypotrophy ● Pathologic hyperplasia ● Pathologic hypoplasia ● Pathologic metaplasia ● Pathologic regeneration ● Sclerosis, fibrosis ● Dysplasia ● Tumors DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BENIGN AND MALIGNANT TUMORS Benign Malignant ■ typically well differentiated ► typically poorly differentiated ■ grow slowly ► grow rapidly ■ grow as cohesive expansile masses ► infiltrate the surrounding tissue ■ typically form a fibrous capsule ► do not form a capsule ■ compress the surrounding tissue ► invade and destruct the surrounding tissue ■ do not or rarely metastasize ► typically metastasize ■ rarely recidivate ► recidivation is typical ■ do not cause cachexia ► cause cachexia THE PRINCIPAL TARGETS OF GENETIC DAMAGE DURING NEOPLASTIC TRANSFORMATION OF A CELL ► the growth-promoting protooncogenes ► the growth-inhibiting cancersuppressor genes (antioncogenes) ► genes that regulate programmed cell death (apoptosis) ► genes that regulate repair of damaged DNA Pathways of transformation of normal cell into neoplastic involving protooncogenes: ► Transformation of normal protooncogene to oncogene ► Overexpression of protooncogene ► Formation of chimeric oncogene Mechanisms of neoplastic transformation associated with inactivation of antioncogenes, genes regulating apoptosis, or DNA repair genes: ● Deletion of gene (e.g., Rb) ● Point mutation of gene (e.g. p53) THREE MAIN CONCEPTS OF CARCINOGENESIS ► Chemical carcinogenesis ► Viral carcinogenesis ► Radiation carcinogenesis CHEMICALS INITIATING CARCINIGENESIS 1. Direct-acting compounds (do not require chemical transformation for their carcinogenicity) ● alkylating and acylating agents (e.g., alkylating anticancer drugs – cyclophasphamide, nitrosoureas; acetylating - 1-acetyl-imidazole etc.) 2. Indirect-acting compounds, or procarcinogens (require metabolic conversion in vivo to produce ultimate carcinogens) Two stages of chemical carcinogenesis: ► Initiation ► Promotion Radiation carcinogenesis 1. Ultraviolet rays UVA – 320-400 nm UVB – 280-320 nm UVC - 200-280 nm cutaneous cancer filtered by the ozone shield 2. Ionizing radiation electromagnetic – X-rays, γ-rays particulate - α-particles, β-particles, protons, neutrons TUMOR PROGRESSION: generation of heterogeneity and selection of clones Normal cell Transformation events Tumor cell Tumor cell variants Death Clonal expansion of surviving cell variants Nonantigenic Invasive Metastatic Human solid malignancy Requiring fewer growth factors ANTINEOPLASTIC MECHANISMS 1. Anticarcinogenic (neutralization of carcinogen) ● ● ● ● 2. metabolism by cytochrome P-450 conjugation with glutathione scavenging of the active free radicals by antioxidants recognition and elimination of oncogenic viruses Antitransformational (refers to DNA repair) ● activity of the mismatch repair genes ● activity of the nucleotide excision repair system 3. Anticellular (elimination of the transformed cell) ● ● ● ● ● cytotoxic T-lymphocytes antibodies NK-cells activated macrophages humoral mechanisms (activation of complement, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity)
