Controls on Cell Division
Controls on Cell Division
Experiments show that normal cells will reproduce
until they come into contact with other cells.
When cells come into contact with other cells, they
respond by not growing.
This demonstrates that controls on cell growth and
division can be turned on and off.

Cell Cycle Regulators
The cell cycle is regulated by a specific
protein.
The amount of this protein in the cell rises
and falls in time with the cell cycle.
Scientists called this protein cyclin because it
seemed to regulate the cell cycle.
Cyclins regulate the timing of the cell
cycle in eukaryotic cells.

Cyclins were discovered during a similar
experiment to this one.
A sample of cytoplasm
is removed from a cell
in mitosis.
The sample is injected
into a second cell in
G2 of interphase.
As a result, the
second
cell enters mitosis.

Internal Regulators
Proteins that respond to events inside the cell are
called internal regulators.
Internal regulators allow the cell cycle to proceed
only when certain processes have happened
inside the cell.

External Regulators
Proteins that respond to events outside the cell are
called external regulators.
External regulators direct cells to speed up or slow
down the cell cycle.
Growth factors are one of the most important
external regulators.

Uncontrolled Cell Growth
Uncontrolled Cell Growth
Cancer is a disorder in which some of the
body's own cells lose the ability to control
growth.
How are cancer cells different from other
cells?

Uncontrolled Cell Growth
Cancer cells do not respond to the signals
that regulate the growth of most cells.

Uncontrolled Cell Growth
Cancer cells divide uncontrollably and form masses
of cells called tumors that can damage the
surrounding tissues.
Cancer cells may break loose from tumors and
spread throughout the body, disrupting normal
activities and causing serious medical problems or
even death.
An astonishing number of cancers are caused by a
damaged or defective “p53” gene that helps regulate
cell growth.

Cancers can be treated in different ways. 2
common treatment methods are chemotherapy
and radiation.

Radiation works by damaging the genes in a cell.
When a cell’s genes are damaged, it interferes with
its ability to grow and divide. Over time, the cells die.
Radiation targets cells that are actively dividing,
whether they are healthy cells or cancerous.
Radiation treatment acts on one localized area.

Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to treat cancer.
Drugs are injected and travel through the body to
reach the cancer cells.
Most chemotherapy drugs work only on cells that are
actively reproducing, whether they are healthy cells
or cancerous.
Some drugs attack cells during certain phases of the
cell cycle (ex: M or S phase).

Different chemicals work in different ways. One
may attack the cell's genetic material (DNA or
RNA) to stop growth, while another may cause
the cells to die by preventing proteins inside the
cell from working properly.
