Is cancer a single disease
or
a group of diseases ?

Cancer is a group of related diseases which arecharacterized by uncontrolled cellular growth
and division
![Page 4: Biology of cancer lectures 1 to 5 revision Karobi Moitra](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042715/558cf994d8b42a0a6f8b465b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Cancer is associated with abnormal cellularproliferation
Cells divide when they should not divide and theylack the normal control systems to shut off unwanted
cell division

Example of Normal Growth
Cell migration
Dermis
Dividing cellsin basal layer
Dead cellsshed from
outer surface
Epidermis
Each time one of these basal cells divides, it produces two cells. One remains in the basal layer andretains the capacity to divide. The other migrates out of the basal layer and loses the capacity todivide. The number of dividing cells in the basal layer, therefore, stays the same.
![Page 8: Biology of cancer lectures 1 to 5 revision Karobi Moitra](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042715/558cf994d8b42a0a6f8b465b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
a
R
The Beginning of Cancerous Growth
During the development of skin cancer, the normal balance between cell division and cell loss is disrupted.The basal cells now divide faster than is needed to replenish the cells being shed from the surface of theskin. Each time one of these basal cells divides, the two newly formed cells will often retain the capacity todivide, thereby leading to an increase in the total number of dividing cells.

Tumors (Neoplasms)
Underlying tissue
This gradual increase in the number of dividing cells creates a growing mass of tissue called a “tumor” or “neoplasm.”

Types of cancer / precancerous subtypes:
According to growth type:
Neoplasia - growth of cells to form a new structure eg: a tumor
Hyperplasia - excessive no. of cells.
Dysplasia - loss of normal arrangement of tissue (precancerous)
Carcinoma-in-situ - uncontrolled growth of cells that remains at the same place (non-invasive).
Invasive carcinoma - can invade surrounding tissue and also undergo metastasis.

Characteristic adaptive features of cancer cells :
1. Loss of contact inhibition
Normal cells stop growing when their plasma membranescome into contact with one another - normal cells stop moving when they contact each other this is called contact inhibition, cancer cells lose the property of contact inhibition. Transformed cells do not stop dividingafter forming a monolayer division continues until severallayers of cells are formed.
![Page 22: Biology of cancer lectures 1 to 5 revision Karobi Moitra](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042715/558cf994d8b42a0a6f8b465b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
a
R
2. Unrestrained control of growth
Cancer cells lack the normal control systems to shutoff unwanted growth.
3. Metastasis
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from a primarysite of origin to other tissues where they grow as secondary tumors.
![Page 23: Biology of cancer lectures 1 to 5 revision Karobi Moitra](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042715/558cf994d8b42a0a6f8b465b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
a
R
Some biochemical properties of cancer cells :
1. Increased glycolysis (Warburg effect)Otto Warburg observed that virtually every type of cancercells that form solid tumors excrete much larger quantities oflactic acid than its normal counterpart. This is known as the‘Warburg effect’.Unlike normal cells, which break down sugar using oxidativepathways (or the Krebs cycle), tumor cells used non-oxidative pathways (glycolysis) to generate energy fromsugar.

3. Loss of anchorage dependence
Cancer cells in culture can grow suspended in media while most normal cells need to attach to a substratum to grow (anchored).

Some atoms give off radiation, which is energy that travels through space. Prolonged or repeatedexposure to certain types of radiation can cause cancer. Cancer caused by the sun’s ultravioletradiation is most common in people who spend long hours in strong sunlight. Ultraviolet radiationfrom sunlight is a low-strength type of radiation. Effective ways to protect against ultraviolet radiationand to prevent skin cancer are to avoid going into strong, direct sunlight and to wear protectiveclothing. Sunscreen lotions reduce the risk of some forms of skin cancers.

X-ray Dose(atomic radiation)
Increased rates of cancer also have been detected in people exposed to high-strength forms of radiation such asX-rays or radiation emitted from unstable atoms called radioisotopes. Because these two types of radiation arestronger than ultraviolet radiation, they can penetrate through clothing and skin into the body. Therefore, high-strength radiation can cause cancers of internal body tissues. Examples include cancer caused by nuclear falloutfrom atomic explosions and cancers caused by excessive exposure to radioactive chemicals.

Heredity and Cancer

All Breast Cancer Patients
Other factor(s)
Cancer is not considered an inherited illness because most cases of cancer, perhaps 80 to 90 percent, occur in peoplewith no family history of the disease. However, a person’s chances of developing cancer can be influenced by theinheritance of certain kinds of genetic alterations. These alterations tend to increase an individual’s susceptibility todeveloping cancer in the future. For example, about 5 percent of breast cancers are thought to be due to inheritance ofparticular form(s) of a “breast cancer susceptibility gene.”

Proto-Oncogenes and Normal Cell Growth
Oncogenes are related to normal genes called proto-oncogenes that encode components of the cell’s normalgrowth-control pathway. Some of these components are growth factors, receptors, signaling enzymes, andtranscription factors. Growth factors bind to receptors on the cell surface, which activate signaling enzymesinside the cell that, in turn, activate special proteins called transcription factors inside the cell’s nucleus. Theactivated transcription factors “turn on” the genes required for cell growth and proliferation.

A karyotype is the number and appearanceof chromosomes in the nucleus of a
eukaryote cell
A chromosome translocation is a chromosomeabnormality caused by rearrangement of partsbetween nonhomologous chromosomes. A genefusion may be created when the translocationjoins two otherwise separated genes, theoccurrence of which is common in cancer.

Tumor suppressor genes are a family of normal genes that instruct cells to produce proteins that restrain cell growth and division. Since tumorsuppressor genes code for proteins that slow down cell growth and division, the loss of such proteins allows a cell to grow and divide in anuncontrolled fashion. Tumor suppressor genes are like the brake pedal of an automobile. The loss of a tumor suppressor gene function is likehaving a brake pedal that does not function properly, thereby allowing the cell to grow and divide continually.

Normal cell Cell suicide(Apoptosis)
p53 protein
Excessive DNA damage
One particular tumor suppressor gene codes for a protein called “p53” that can trigger cell suicide (apoptosis). In cellsthat have undergone DNA damage, the p53 protein acts like a brake pedal to halt cell growth and division. If the damagecannot be repaired, the p53 protein eventually initiates cell suicide, thereby preventing the genetically damaged cellfrom growing out of control.

1. Self-Sufficiency in growth signals
Normal cells require mitogenic (cell div) growth signals to move from a quiescent (resting) state into an active proliferation state. Cancer cells can generate their owngrowth signals.
![Page 109: Biology of cancer lectures 1 to 5 revision Karobi Moitra](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042715/558cf994d8b42a0a6f8b465b/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Autocrine signaling : Secretion of a substance or growthfactor that acts on a cell that produced it (i.e. IL2 signaling in monocytes )
Paracrine signaling: secretion of a substance or growth factor that acts on a nearby cell (i.e. neurotransmitter signaling)
Autocrine
![Page 110: Biology of cancer lectures 1 to 5 revision Karobi Moitra](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042715/558cf994d8b42a0a6f8b465b/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
How do cancer cells generate their own growth signals ?
Autocrine signaling: a cancer cell can manufacture it’sown autocrine growth factors.
Active transforming growth factor beta blocks proliferation in normal cell, while downregulation of TGF-betain a cancer cell can induce proliferation by upregulation of cyclins and autocrine growth factors(hypothetical example Grimm and Rosen 2006).
![Page 111: Biology of cancer lectures 1 to 5 revision Karobi Moitra](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042715/558cf994d8b42a0a6f8b465b/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Cancer cells can also switch the types of Extracellular matrix receptors (ECM) they express favoring the
ones that transmit growth signals
ECM : extracellular part of tissue that provides structuralsupport to the cells and performs various other functions
![Page 112: Biology of cancer lectures 1 to 5 revision Karobi Moitra](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042715/558cf994d8b42a0a6f8b465b/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Activation of the Ras-raf pathway through integrins(integrins can mediate signals from the ECM to thecell)
Growth signals
MEK - mitogen activatedprotein kinase kinase
ERK -Extracellular signal regulated kinase

2. Insensitivity to Antigrowth signals
If cancer cells are to survive they must block anti-growthsignals. Antigrowth signals can block proliferation by a. Forcing a cell out of the cell cycle into G0.b. Inducing a cell to enter post-mitotic differentiated state.
![Page 114: Biology of cancer lectures 1 to 5 revision Karobi Moitra](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042715/558cf994d8b42a0a6f8b465b/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
