Generation of Subcutaneous and Intrahepatic Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Xenografts in Immunodeficient Mice
Published on: September 25, 2013
Resumen
La mayoría de los cánceres humanos pueden surgir de transposiciones genéticas, no de mutágenos tradicionales. Se necesita más investigación para comprender los factores externos que influyen en la frecuencia de transposición en el desarrollo del cáncer.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Oncología Oncología.
- Genética La genética.
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
Sus antecedentes:
- Los mutágenos convencionales están implicados tradicionalmente en la etiología del cáncer.
- La evidencia emergente sugiere que las transposiciones genéticas juegan un papel importante en los cánceres humanos.
- Los mecanismos moleculares de la transposición se comprenden cada vez mejor.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar el papel de las transposiciones genéticas en el desarrollo del cáncer humano.
- Explorar los factores externos que influyen en la frecuencia de las transposiciones genéticas.
- Cambiar el paradigma de la causalidad del cáncer de los mutágenos a las transposiciones.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de la literatura existente sobre genética y transposición del cáncer.
- Análisis de datos de biología molecular relacionados con la transposición genética.
- Identificación de las brechas de conocimiento con respecto a factores externos.
Principales resultados:
- La evidencia limitada indica que las transposiciones genéticas son una causa más probable de la mayoría de los cánceres humanos que los mutágenos convencionales.
- La biología molecular de la transposición es un área activa de investigación.
- Los factores externos que afectan a la frecuencia de transposición siguen sin estudiarse en gran medida.
Conclusiones:
- Las transposiciones genéticas representan un factor significativo y poco estudiado en la carcinogénesis humana.
- La investigación futura debe centrarse en la identificación de las influencias ambientales y otras influencias externas en las tasas de transposición.
- Comprender estos factores podría conducir a nuevas estrategias de prevención y tratamiento del cáncer.

02:12What is Cancer?
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of patients who died from...

02:21Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell
Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...
02:59Cancer Prevention
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.
