The Cell Cycle
Day 3

Cancer: Out of Control Cell Division
• The defining feature of a cancerous cell is that is divides much more often than is healthy- creating a stack of cells called a tumor
• How does it do that? It has to bypass all the checkpoints that tell it to stop dividing

The Basics of Cell Division
• G1: Cell Growth, makes duplicate organelles, increase in size
• S phase: Duplicates all the chromosomes- photocopying of information
• G2: More growth, time needed to gain strength for mitosis
• Mitosis- Cell divides up the chromosomes so each of the new daughter cells has all the information
• Cytokinesis- The cell breaks into two cells

Key Regulation Points
• G1 check point before S phase (DNA replication) can start, pass if:– Nutrients sufficient– Growth factors present- there is a need for more
cells– Cell is big enough– DNA is undamaged

Key Regulation Points
• G2 check point before Mitosis– Chromosome replication completed– No DNA damage– Active signals to start mitosis (chemicals in the
cytoplasm)
• Metaphase check point before cell splits– All chromosomes are aligned to be equally passed
down to the new cells

Thinking like Cancer
• Which regulation point(s) would prevent cancerous growth?
• What are a few ways cancerous cells could bypass those points?

How do checkpoints work?
Hypothesis: The cell cycle is directed by specific signaling
molecules present in the cytoplasm
![Page 9: The Cell Cycle Day 3. Cancer: Out of Control Cell Division The defining feature of a cancerous cell is that is divides much more often than is healthy-](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e545503460f94b4b8dc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How would you design an experiment to test this hypothesis?• Materials:– Cells in culture– Any measurement device
• Think about:• What data are relevant?• How long will your experiment take?

What do we know so far?
• Still working out all the chemical and physical signals.
• Over 50 growth factors have been identified• Different cell types respond differently to
different growth factors

Contact inhibition
• Normal cells form only a monolayer in culture• Why?
![Page 16: The Cell Cycle Day 3. Cancer: Out of Control Cell Division The defining feature of a cancerous cell is that is divides much more often than is healthy-](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e545503460f94b4b8dc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Anchorage dependence
• Normal cells must have a surface on which to grow or a tissue attachment to continue replicating.
• Why?

Telomeres- fingerprints of cancer
• Cancer often has specific characteristics related to too much division
• Each time the cell divides it replicates its chromosomes- increasing the chance for mutation and shortening the telomere (the end of the chromosome)
![Page 19: The Cell Cycle Day 3. Cancer: Out of Control Cell Division The defining feature of a cancerous cell is that is divides much more often than is healthy-](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e545503460f94b4b8dc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Discovery of telomerase
• Telomerase re-lengthens the chromosome to enable division to continue
• Cancer cells have to increase telomerase activity so that they do not die
• This is a key regulation step of a cell’s lifespan
