Oncogenes = Gene associated with abnormal cell growth
Oncogene Product = Expressed protein coded by an oncogene
Mutagens
Radiation, Chemical - tend to be small changes, insertions, deletions, or base changes
Chromosome Rearrangements (in meiosis) - can be large changes, deletions, inversions
Viral Rearrangement - viruses can become lysogenic & excise & carry genes or foreign
promoter DNA to subsequent cellular hosts where these insert into non-homologous sites
& are expressed in a non-regulated or inappropriately regulated fashion, often leading to
oncogenesis via disruption of the normal events of the cell cycle or cell cycle regulatory
points.

Normal Stages of Mitosis shown
by time.
Cells receive cues from their
environment (surrounding cells
and tissues) that help direct it
to undergo division
Each cell must monitor DNA
replication to make sure that
synthesis is correct, fixing any
mistakes along the way.
During DNA replication the two strands are copied in opposite
directions using different methods. Topoisomerase is also involved
and makes cuts in one or both strands that must be ligated to
maintain sequence integrity. Thus, there are opportunities for
sequence mismatches or replication mistakes even during mitosis.
The anti-parallel, helical, frequently coiled and supercoiled nature of
DNA within cells presents topological problems during replication that
can result in mistakes that must be monitored by the cell cycle
machinery.
Rb protein: the first major checkpoint
pRB- retinoblastoma protein
named so because in retinoblastoma cancer both alleles of
the gene are mutated so no protein is produced
pRb prevents the cell from dividing or progressing through
the cell cycle when DNA is damaged.
Control occurs at S (DNA synthesis phase) because
pRb binds and inhibits transcription factors of the E2F family
When pRb is ineffective at this role, mutated cells
can continue to divide and may become cancerous.
pRB regulation depends on phosphorylation
pRb can actively inhibit cell cycle progression when it is
dephosphorylated
Therefore phosphorylation inactivates its function.
At the end of mitosis (M phase) pRB depends on a phosphatase
to dephosphyorylate it, allowing it to bind to E2F
pRb the Master Controller:
The First Checkpoint

Sequential phosporylation of Rb by cyclin/cdk complex inhibits the repressor activity of
pRb. The HPV E7 binds to the hypophosphorylated form of the pRb proteins. This binding
disrupts the complex between pRB & the cellular transcription factor E2F, resulting in the
liberation of E2F, which allows the cell to enter the S phase of the cell cycle.

Hypoxia, cellular exposure to reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial

p53 actions that halt cell division, activate DNA repair mechanisms, &/or
stimulate the cell to undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death). This
protects the organism from clonal expansion of mutated cells.

HPV infection also perturbs the
second, p53, checkpoint preventing
p53 from diverting cells with
damaged DNA toward cell cycle
arrest or cell death. Damaged cells
can then proliferate unchecked.
DNA damage induces p53 activation, leading to either cell
cycle arrest or apoptosis. The HPV E6 binds to E6-AP &
redirects it to p53, which results in the E6-AP-mediated
ubiquitination & rapid proteasomal degradation of p53.
RB/p53 Interactions To Regulate Cell Cycle & Apoptosis
Cell cycle transition from G1-S phase is mediated by Rb interactions with the E2F transcription factor
family, an important regulator of the cell cycle. Growth factors lead to phosphorylation of Rb in late G1
phase by cdk/cyclin. This is followed by release of E2F, allowing transcriptional activation of E2F target
genes; this promotes S-phase entry & cell proliferation. HPV E7 & Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promote
release of E2F from Rb. In contrast HPV E6 & the dominant negative, DN-p53 inhibit p53 activity leading
to cell proliferation.

Summary of Cancer and Cell Cycle:
Carcinogenesis seems to be a multistage process where normal cells
progress to cancer through a gradual accumulation of genetic errors.
This has led to the hypothesis that cancer may be caused by mutations
that cause genetic instability.
Cell cycle controls, checkpoints, maintain the genetic stability of dividing
cells.
There are at least two important known checkpoints, located in G1/S
and G2/M involving tumor suppressors Rb and p53, respectively.
p53 is activated by DNA damage.
During carcinogenesis, these checkpoints fail to prevent abnormal cells
from going through the cell cycle.
Extracellular factors may alter the status of the pRb checkpoint &
thereby change transcriptional activities.

Disruption of the cell cycle can result in replication of cells with:
damaged DNA
increased susceptibility to further DNA damage
ability to avoid apoptosis
ability to avoid immune surveillance
activated telomerase
Proto-oncogene
Gene mutation, gene movement, or change
in regulatory sequences or position

Oncogene: modified gene that is believed to cause cancer
The proto-oncogene can become an oncogene by a relatively small
modification of its original function. There are three basic activation types:
•A mutation within a proto-oncogene can cause a change in the protein structure, causing
•an increase in protein (enzyme) activity
•a loss of regulation (pRB)
•An increase in protein concentration, caused by
•an increase of protein expression (through misregulation)(BCL-2 with miRNA’s)
•an increase of protein stability, prolonging its existence and thus its activity in the cell
•a gene duplication (one type of chromosome abnormality), resulting in an
increased amount of protein in the cell
•A chromosomal translocation (another type of chromosome abnormality), causing
•an increased gene expression in the wrong cell type or at wrong times
•the expression of a constitutively active hybrid protein. This type of aberration in a
dividing stem cell in the bone marrow leads to adult leukemia (BCL-2 with t(14;18))
Apoptotic Pathways: All roads lead to mitochondria
•Extrinsic
•Extracellular signals cause intracellular changes
•Caspase activation (8), eventually leads to mitochondria
•Instrinsic
•Starts with signals within the cell
•Caspase activation (9 and 3), Cytochrome c release
BCL-2, a different kind of oncogene
BCL-2 was originally discovered in Follicular Lymphoma patients
a chromosomal translocation between chromosomes 14 and 18 placed
BCL-2 under constitutive control of Ig heavy chain
results: much BCL-2 protein is made all of the time in these cells
This was the first time where a mutation that caused a protein to be overexpressed
caused cancer (in the past only down-regulation models were known, like pRB)
In Chronic Leukemia BCL-2 is also overexpressed, despite the absence of t(14;18)
microRNAs are responsible for BCL-2 overexpression in these cancers

Del Gaizo Moore, et al. JCI 2007
How does BCL-2 overexpression lead to cancer?
There are pro and anti-apoptotic proteins
those that promote and those that oppose cell death
BCL-2 is an anti-apoptotic protein
DNA damage, environmental stress, or other cellular stresses cause death signaling
molecules to be expressed.
These death signals are able to be bound up by BCL-2.
In a normal cell with regular amounts of BCL-2, the BCL-2 gets “full” of death signals
Easily and there are excess death molecules to trigger apoptosis
BUT, if a cell has extra BCL-2 then it can absorb ALL of the death molecules
thereby preventing cell death
- death signals
- other proteins bound to BCL-2
- cytochrome c
- BCL-2 protein

The Process of Carcinogenesis
Cancer:
inappropriately controlled cell replication
leading to disruption of normal physiology,
metabolism or structure ultimately
disrupting homeostasis irreversibly
Neoplasm:
new cell growth; may be benign (not unlimited or
invasive) or malignant (cancerous leading toward
metastasis)
Hypertrophy – elevated size, for cell or tissue
Hyperplasia – elevated cell number
Path to Cancer:
Completion is rare due to endogenous controls & mechanisms!
Induction/Initiation/primary mutation
– fixation into the genome
-- avoidance of apoptosis
-- avoidance of immune rejection
Promotion
– stimulation of cell expansion of mutated clone
-- continued avoidance of apoptosis
-- continued avoidance of immune surveillance
Conversion/Transformation
-- epigenetic &/or secondary mutations
-- immortalization, activation of telomerase
-- loss of cell contact inhibition
-- angiogenesis of primary tumor
Progression
-- tertiary mutations
-- outgrowth of tumor
Metastases
-- breach of vascular endothelium
-- lodging & binding to capillary beds
-- invasion of secondary sites
Changes in Cancer
These range from the
molecular through cellular
& organ levels to the entire
organism. What begins in a
single cell, possibly even a
single alteration of one
chemical bond, ultimately
manifests as a terminal
physiological imbalance for
the host organism. This
might be termed the
“Butterfly Effect” in cancer.

Ball diagram of Nowell's hypothesis
Green balls represent cells that have developed a genetic abnormality & are expanding
or growing into a clone of cells. One of these cells develops a 2nd genetic abnormality,
blue ball. This then expands into its own clone of cells, subclones of the green
population. A third genetic mistake, dark red ball, leads to clonal expansion of a subsubclone. Eventually, a genetic mistake is made in one of the cells of the subclones or
sub-subclones that allows that cell to spin off a cancerous subclone.

Besides losing the ability to
correctly determine if their
environment is appropriate for
division & the characteristics
necessary for the immune
system to remove them as
damaged cells, cells on the path
to tumor & cancer formation also
gain several capacities: they
evade apoptosis, produce their
own growth factors, become
insensitive to growth
suppressors & cell contact
signals, gain telomerase activity
& overcome the Hayflick limit, &
express angiogenic factors &
molecules needed during
metastasis.

Tumor

Genes as
Initiation
Targets
Mutation or deletion of tumor suppressor (TS) genes may initiate many forms of cancer. For tumors to
develop, both alleles of the TS gene must be inactivated. In familial cancer syndromes, a mutant allele of a
TS gene is inherited and is present in every cell (e.g. p53 in Li Fraumeni). But, tumorigenesis is not
initiated until the second allele is inactivated in a somatic cell. In non-familial cases, inactivation of both
alleles occurs via somatic mutation or deletion. The end result is the same in both cases, the lack of a
functional TS gene leads to tumor development.
Philadelphia Chromosome Formation:
Classic Case of Chromosomal Rearrangement in Carcinogenesis
Rearranged chromosomes: the c-abl
oncogene from the distal tip of
chromosome 9q34 when translocated to
the bcr (break-point cluster region)
locus on chromosome 22q11.2 forms the
t(9;22) translocation found in >95% of
CML, chronic myelogenous leukemia. It
generates a chimeric gene that
expresses a chimeric bcr-abl mRNA &
fusion protein that localizes to the
cytoplasm & remains constitutively
active in phosphorylating STAT-5 &
suppressing apoptosis.

MMPs
Initial tumor,
distal to vasulature,
becomes hypoxic
Early tumors are small, <1 mm3 in diameter. Without angiogenesis tumors cannot grow further even
though active cell division counter-balanced by apoptosis continues to occur. Tumor cells most distal to
blood supply become hypoxic & produce hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) which accumulates in the
cytoplasm & translocates to cell nuclei. This promotes transcription of many target genes, including that
for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Thus, an angiogenic switch is activated that stimulates
formation of the new vascular necessary for tumor growth. Tumor cell/stromal cell/endothelial cell
interactions cause secretion & activation of matrix metallo-proteinases (MMPs) that degrade the
extracellular matrix and permit budding of new blood vessels from existing vessels. Proliferation &
migration of vascular endothelial cells are triggered by angiogenic factors secreted by tumor cells, such
as VEGF & basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Blood vessels established within tumors permit invasion
of tumor cells into the bloodstream where they are carried to additional sites in the body. If they become
attached or lodged, & invade the local blood vessels, they may then establish new tumors or metastases.

In chemosensitive ovarian cancer cells (A), cisplatin increases p53, leading to upregulation of proteins
promoting cell cycle arrest, e.g., p21, & pro-apoptotic proteins such as Bax & Fas. This activates both the
intrinsic (mitochondrial) & extrinsic (death-receptor) apoptotic paths with the overall result being activation of
the execution caspase-3 (& -7, not shown). In these cells, cell survival mediators such as Xiap, Akt, and Flip (in
red) are downregulated or are in their inactive state. Prohibitin may also play a role in inhibiting cell cycle
progression via the Rb-E2F pathway by binding Rb. In a chemoresistant cell (B), increased p53 ubiquitination by
MDM2 results in maintenance of low levels of p53, despite the presence of cisplatin. Also, cisplatin fails to
downregulate Xiap, thereby maintaining an active state of the PI3K/Akt pathway, & binding of TNFR2 by TNFα
leads to upregulation of FLIP through the NFκB pathway, thus inhibiting the pro-apoptotic actions of NFκB
through TNFR1. Overall, because the caspase cascade now fails to be activated by the chemotherapeutic agent,
these cells lose their capacity to undergo apoptosis. They have become chemoresistant.

OVEREXPRESSION OF p68 RNA HELICASE IN COLORECTAL TUMORS
We and others have shown that p68 RNA
helicase is overexpressed in colon cancer. In
particular, hyperplastic polyps which
eventually develop via adenomas into
malignant adenocarcinomas, are devoid of
significant p68 RNA helicase
immunostaining (see Figure).
However, adenomas as well as
adenocarcinomas show p68 RNA helicase
overexpression, suggesting that p68 RNA
helicase may contribute to the malignant
transformation of colon cells.
