17 Oncogenes mutated forms of normal cellular genes generally involved in promoting cell proliferation. These mutations result in dominant gain of function. Tumor Suppressor genes genes whose normal function in regulating proliferation is to stop it. Mutation results in recessive loss of function.

18 Carcinogenesis: The accumulation of multiple genetic alterations that drives a normal cell to malignancy. Hypothesis: Mutation in one gene associated with each step in progression.

31 Invasion and Metastasis II Extracellular Proteases

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Normally during embryonic morphogenesis Epithelial cells acquire Mesenchymal traits Loss of adherens junctions Change in cellular morphology Expression of proteases Increased motility B. Collective Invasion C. Amoeboid Invasion Partial EMT?

33 Reductionist View of a Tumor

34 Realistic View of a Tumor

35

36 Immune Evasion Some data supports: Selective killing of highly immunogenic tumors, leaving weakly immunogenic ones Tumors disable parts of the immune system by secreting or recruiting cells that secrete immunosuppressive factors (ex. TGF B) Tumor cells down-regulate expression of MHC genes

37 Tumor-Promoting Inflammation Tumor- infiltrating immune cells provide factors which: Stimulate growth Inhibit cell death Promote angiogenesis Degrade extracellular matrices Induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition Damage DNA (reactive oxygen species)

38 Deregulating Cellular Energetics

39 PET SCAN

40 Cancer - evolution at a vastly accelerated rate favoring the growing tumor mass over the organism. Genomic Instability introduces genomic alterations and Natural Selection chooses the fittest tumor to survive.
