Slide 4-

Proteins within the cell control the cell cycle Signals affecting critical checkpoints determine whether the cell will divide (cyclins, kinases) G1 checkpoint M checkpoint G2 checkpoint Control system Figure 8.9A
Slide 5-

In laboratory cultures, normal cells divide only when attached to a surface = anchorage dependent Anchorage, cell density, and chemical growth factors affect cell division
Slide 6-

Cells continue dividing until they touch one another = density-dependent inhibition Cells anchor to dish surface and divide. Figure 8.8A When cells have formed a complete single layer, they stop dividing (density-dependent inhibition). If some cells are scraped away, the remaining cells divide to fill the dish with a single layer and then stop (density-dependent inhibition).
Slide 7-

Growth factors are proteins secreted by cells that stimulate other cells to divide After forming a single layer, cells have stopped dividing. Figure 8.8B Providing an additional supply of growth factors stimulates further cell division.

Traits of cancer cells, continued 5. Angiogenesis - formation of blood vessels 6. Metastasis - ability to move to other tissues benign: do not move from tumor site malignant: invasive cells, can travel in blood and lymph system
Slide 15-

Malignant tumors can invade other tissues and may kill the organism Tumor Figure 8.10 Glandular tissue 1 2 3 A tumor grows from a single cancer cell. Cancer cells invade neighboring tissue. Lymph vessels Cancer cells spread through lymph and blood vessels to other parts of the body. Metastasis

How do normal cells become cancerous? Selection within tumor for “most cancerous” cells
Slide 17-

What is the source of oncogenes? Mutation of a normal gene = change in DNA sequence UV light, Xrays, natural or synthetic chemicals Virus (ex. HPV and cervical cancer)

Cancer Cancer is one of the most common diseases in the developed world: 1 in 4 deaths are due to cancer 1 in 17 deaths are due to lung cancer Lung cancer is the most common cancer in men Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women There are over 100 different forms of cancer
Slide 22-

Cancer The division of normal cells is precisely controlled. New cells are only formed for growth or to replace dead ones. Cancerous cells divide repeatedly out of control even though they are not needed, they crowd out other normal cells and function abnormally. They can also destroy the correct functioning of major organs.
Slide 23-

What causes cancer? Cancer arises from the mutation of a normal gene. Mutated genes that cause cancer are called oncogenes. It is thought that several mutations need to occur to give rise to cancer Cells that are old or not functioning properly normally self destruct and are replaced by new cells. However, cancerous cells do not self destruct and continue to divide rapidly producing millions of new cancerous cells.
Slide 24-

A factor which brings about a mutation is called a mutagen. A mutagen is mutagenic. Any agent that causes cancer is called a carcinogen and is described as carcinogenic. So some mutagens are carcinogenic.
Slide 25-

Carcinogens Ionising radiation – X Rays, UV light Chemicals – tar from cigarettes Virus infection – papilloma virus can be responsible for cervical cancer. Hereditary predisposition – Some families are more susceptible to getting certain cancers. Remember you can’t inherit cancer its just that you maybe more susceptible to getting it.
Slide 26-

Benign or malignant? Benign tumours do not spread from their site of origin, but can crowd out (squash) surrounding cells eg brain tumour, warts. Malignant tumours can spread from the original site and cause secondary tumours. This is called metastasis. They interfere with neighbouring cells and can block blood vessels, the gut, glands, lungs etc. Why are secondary tumours so bad? Both types of tumour can tire the body out as they both need a huge amount of nutrients to sustain the rapid growth and division of the cells.
Slide 27-

The Development of Cancer Within every nucleus of every one of the human body's 30 trillion cells exists DNA, the substance that contains the information needed to make and control every cell within the body. Here is a close-up view of a tiny fragment of DNA.
Slide 28-

1. DNA of a normal cell This piece of DNA is an exact copy of the DNA from which it came. When the parent cell divided to create two cells, the cell's DNA also divided, creating two identical copies of the original DNA.
Slide 29-

2. Mutation of DNA Here is the same section of DNA but from another cell. If you can imagine that DNA is a twisted ladder, then each rung of the ladder is a pair of joined molecules, or a base pair. With this section of DNA, one of the base pairs is different from the original. This DNA has suffered a mutation, either through mis-copying (when its parent cell divided), or through the damaging effects of exposure to radiation or a chemical carcinogen.
Slide 30-

3. Genetically altered cell Body cells replicate through mitosis, they respond to their surrounding cells and replicate only to replace other cells. Sometimes a genetic mutation will cause a cell and its descendants to reproduce even though replacement cells are not needed. The DNA of the cell highlighted above has a mutation that causes the cell to replicate even though this tissue doesn't need replacement cells at this time or at this place.
Slide 31-

4. Spread and second mutation The genetically altered cells have, over time, reproduced unchecked, crowding out the surrounding normal cells. The growth may contain one million cells and be the size of a pinhead. At this point the cells continue to look the same as the surrounding healthy cells. After about a million divisions, there's a good chance that one of the new cells will have mutated further. This cell, now carrying two mutant genes, could have an altered appearance and be even more prone to reproduce unchecked.
Slide 32-

5. Third mutation Not all mutations that lead to cancerous cells result in the cells reproducing at a faster, more uncontrolled rate. For example, a mutation may simply cause a cell to keep from self-destructing. All normal cells have surveillance mechanisms that look for damage or for problems with their own control systems. If such problems are found, the cell destroys itself. Over time and after many cell divisions, a third mutation may arise. If the mutation gives the cell some further advantage, that cell will grow more vigorously than its predecessors and thus speed up the growth of the tumour.
Slide 33-

6. Fourth mutation The new type of cells grow rapidly, allowing for more opportunities for mutations. The next mutation paves the way for the development of an even more aggressive cancer. At this point the tumour is still contained.
Slide 34-

7. Breaking through the membrane The newer, wilder cells created by another mutation are able to push their way through the epithelial tissue's basement membrane, which is a meshwork of protein that normally creates a barrier. The invasive cells in this tumour are no longer contained. At this point the cancer is still too small to be detected.
Slide 35-

8. Angiogenesis Often during the development of earlier stages of the tumour, or perhaps by the time the tumour has broken through the basement membrane (as pictured above), angiogenesis takes place. Angiogenesis is the recruitment of blood vessels from the network of neighbouring vessels. Without blood and the nutrients it carries, a tumour would be unable to continue growing. With the new blood supply, however, the growth of the tumour accelerates; it soon contains thousand million cells and, now the size of a small grape, is large enough to be detected as a lump
Slide 36-

9.Invasion and dispersal The tumour has now invaded the tissue beyond the basement membrane. Individual cells from the tumour enter into the network of newly formed blood vessels, using these vessels as highways by which they can move to other parts of the body. A tumour as small as a gram can send out a million tumour cells into blood vessels a day.
Slide 37-

10. Tumour cells travel - metastasis What makes most tumours so lethal is their ability to metastasize -- that is, establish new tumour sites at other locations throughout the body. Secondary tumours. Metastasis is now underway, as tumour cells from the original cancer growth travel throughout the body. Most of these cells will die soon after entering the blood or lymph circulation.
Slide 38-

11. Metastasis To form a secondary tumour, a tumour cell needs to leave the vessel system and invade tissue. The cell must attach itself to a vessel's wall. Once this is done, it can work its way through the vessel and enter the tissue. Although perhaps less than one in 10,000 tumour cells will survive long enough to establish a new tumour site, a few survivors can escape and initiate new colonies of the cancer.

Facts on Cancer 2006, approximately 564,830 Americans died of cancer 1.4 million new cases diagnosed 1/3 of cancers are related to poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and obesity – preventable causes
Slide 41-

What Is Cancer? Cancer – a large group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells Neoplasm – new growth of tissue that serves no physiological function Tumor – clumping of neoplasmic cells Malignant - cancerous Benign - noncancerous Biopsy – microscopic examination of cell development
Slide 42-

What Is Cancer? – cont. Metastasis – malignant tumors that are not enclosed in a protective capsule have the ability to spread to other organs Mutant cells – disruption of RNA and DNA within normal cells may produce cells that differ in form, quality and function from the normal cell
Slide 43-

Disparities In Cancer Rates African Americans have the highest death rates from cancer The gap in cancer mortality rates is greater now than in 1975 African Americans with certain cancers are more likely to go unstaged and less likely to receive treatment Men from poorer census counties have a 22% higher death rate from prostate cancer than their affluent county comparison groups
