Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

7.4K
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions

4.8K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.5K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

6.2K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.6K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • The precise genetic underpinnings of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), a common and treatable thyroid malignancy, remain incompletely elucidated.
  • Current etiological models often focus on specific biomarker genes, but tumor heterogeneity and individual patient factors suggest a more complex picture.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate cancer-induced genomic alterations in papillary thyroid cancer by re-analyzing gene expression profiles.
  • To identify key functional pathways and gene networking changes contributing to the PTC phenotype.

Main Methods:

  • Re-analysis of publicly available gene expression profiles from PTC tumor nodules and adjacent normal tissues.
  • Comparison of tumor data with standard papillary and anaplastic thyroid cancer cell lines.

Main Results:

  • Papillary thyroid cancer significantly alters the expression of numerous genes involved in DNA replication, repair, and transcription.
  • Significant changes in gene networking within functional pathways and homeostatic control of transcript abundance were observed.
  • Transcriptomic differences between nodule cells and cells in culture highlight adaptations for proliferation and invasion.

Conclusions:

  • The etiology of papillary thyroid cancer likely involves intricate molecular mechanisms that remodel genetic information processing pathways.
  • A comprehensive understanding of PTC requires considering the complex interplay of genetic alterations across various cellular functions.
