Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

  • Prostate cancer is a leading malignancy in men, with incidence rising globally due to increased life expectancy and improved diagnostics.
  • While exact causes are unknown, prostate cancer likely arises from genetic and environmental factors impacting cellular processes.
  • Understanding prostate cancer progression and metastasis requires analyzing large-scale gene expression data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify core biological processes affected in prostate cancer using bioinformatics.
  • To analyze gene expression datasets for insights into prostate carcinogenesis.
  • To contribute to understanding prostate cancer development and metastasis.

Main Methods:

  • Standardized quality control and statistical analysis of prostate cancer datasets from ArrayExpress.
  • Pathway analysis using PathVisio to identify affected biological processes.
  • Bioinformatic evaluation of existing microarray data.

Main Results:

  • Identified three core biological processes significantly altered in prostate cancer.
  • Key processes include cholesterol biosynthesis, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and increased metabolic activity.
  • Demonstrated the utility of bioinformatics in analyzing gene expression data for cancer research.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized bioinformatics and pathway analysis offer a cost-effective method for understanding prostate cancer.
  • Results provide essential information on molecular pathways and cellular processes in cancer development.
