Cell Cycle Regulation What factors control a cell’s advancement through the cell cycle? Why is regulation of the cycle important? 40% Approximately 39.6 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetime. (based on 2010-2012 data) (cancer.gov) The Hallmarks of Cancer www.insidecancer.org Type of Cancer Classification can be based on: 1 – type of tissue in which the cancer originates 2 – location in the body where the cancer first developed Histological Types There are five main cancer classifications based on the tissue type where the cancer originated. Histological Types Carcinoma Originates in epithelial tissue. 90% of cancers are carcinomas. Histological Types Sarcoma Originates in connective tissue. Histological Types Myeloma Begins in the cells of the immune system. Myelomas are cancer of the bone marrow, particularly of the cells that produces antibodies (plasma cells). Histological Types Histological Types Leukemia Originates in bone marrow (overproduction of immature WBCs which don’t perform as well). Histological Types Histological Types Lymphoma Originates in lymphatic glands. Histological Types Cell Cycle Checkpoints http://outreach.mcb.harvard.edu/animations/checkpoints.swf (long - spindle checkpoint focus) Growth Factors Example of a Growth Factor: Erythropoietin Contact Inhibition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSxvEjfXXhQ Cyclins and Kinases Make observations. Cyclins and Kinases Internal proteins that regulate the cycle. Cyclins turn CDKs “ON.” Signal Transducers and Transcription Factors Src protein = signal transducer Ras protein = signal transducer Myc protein = transcription factor Results in the production of the myc protein from the myc gene. Myc protein = transcription factor it transcribes the gene for cyclin Rb and E2F E2F protein = transcription factor transcribes genes that make cyclins and other proteins that replicate DNA. Myc and E2F p53 P53 and P21 BRCA P53 and BAX Proto-oncogenes and Tumor Suppressors Types of Proto-oncoproteins
