Gene mutation
Change in DNA base sequence
Permanent
Only inherited if occur in gametes
2 types Spontaneous
Errors in normal processes, rare Ex. DNA segment moving from one location to
another Induced
Exposure dependent (ex. Chemicals, radiation)

Basic Terminology Mutagens
Environmental agents known to create mutations within DNA (ex. UV radiation)
Carcinogens Mutagens that cause cancer “cancer-causing” Ex. Smoking, chemicals used in industries, DDT
**Cancer—accumulation of mutations over time**

What is so bad about radiation?
FREE RADICALS ! ! ! React with DNA—
MUTATION! Ex. X-Rays

Gel Electrophoresis
Laboratory process for DNA fragment separation.
DNA separates based on the size of each DNA fragment
Restriction enzyme sites (where enzymes will cut DNA) unique to each person SO expose DNA to restriction enzymes

Latest Technology
Getting rid of our reliance on gel electrophoresis….any problems with old method?
Fluorescent labeling of DNA fragments
Creates a graph or “DNA fingerprint” showing repeat numbers based on how much fluorescence is present.

Cancer: the basics
Uncontrolled cell growth
Accumulation of mutations within genes
Gradual development

Cancer: the basics (cont.)
Proto-oncogenes Proteins formed from these genes maintain cell
cycle and stop apoptosis Mutations within these genes form oncogenes
(maintain cell cycle, always simulated, do not listen to signals or conditions to stop)
Examples: ras gene, BRCA 1 oncogene (breast/ovarian cancer)

Cancer: the basics (cont.)
Tumor suppressor genes
-proteins formed from these genes prevent cell cycle and signal apoptosis
Prevent uncontrolled cell cycles and cell division with damaged DNA
Mutations within these genes cause the cell cycle to continue without control
Ex. Common ones seen in human cancer—RB, p53 genes for corresponding proteins

What can cause mutations leading to
cancer? Genetics/Heredity
-certain individuals are more susceptible than others
Viruses
Environmental factors Chemicals Smoke UV/radiation exposure—skin cancer

Cancer Terminology Cancer in situ– tumor at primary site
Tumor: When cancerous cells divide, they form a mass of
cancer cells within an otherwise normal tissue
Benign tumor: Cancerous cells remain in one spot Growth does not continue Noncancerous
Malignant tumor: Cancer cells become invasive enough to impair
the functions of one or more organs Cancer cells have the ability to spread
![Page 20: Gene mutationGene mutation Change in DNA base sequence Permanent Only inherited if occur in gametes 2 types Spontaneous Errors in normal processes,](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051418/5697bfd31a28abf838cac2c5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Cancer Cell Terminology (cont.)
Metastasis: The spread of cancer cells beyond their original site-Cancer cells can break away from tumor to invade other
locations throughout the body
Angiogenesis: The process where cancer cells develop their own blood
supply to obtain continued nutrients so they can keep growing.
New blood vessels and the cancer cells use these to “fuel” their growth
Treatments can fight this process

How do we know a cell is cancerous?—Cancer Cell
Traits
1) No differentiation
-no function, abnormal appearance, unspecialized
2) Abnormal Nuclei
-larger nucleus
-abnormal chromosome numbers, more
3) No apoptosis
-do not respond to signals from cell about abnormality or DNA damages
-evade detection from the body’s immune system
-do not die
![Page 23: Gene mutationGene mutation Change in DNA base sequence Permanent Only inherited if occur in gametes 2 types Spontaneous Errors in normal processes,](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051418/5697bfd31a28abf838cac2c5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How do we know a cell is cancerous?—Cancer Cell
Traits
4) No contact inhibition/ anchor
-cancer cells do not “listen” to neighbors
-continue to grow despite being crowded by neighbors—tumor results
5) Go through metastasis
-break away from tumor and invade other cells throughout the body
6) Go through angiogenesis
-create blood supply to provide nutrients for continued growth

Normal v. Cancer Cells Have density-
dependent inhibition
Will only divide when attached to a substrate (anchored)
Must have sufficient growth factors or nutrients for division
Lack density-dependent inhibition
Will divide in solution or when not anchored
Unaffected by presence of external growth factors or nutrients
