1Oncogenesis is the mechanism by which a tumor arises, involving DNA [blank_start]mutation[blank_end]. If the DNA is not repaired, the cell will
continue to [blank_start]divide[blank_end] and 'fix' the mutation in place. Successive mutations can build up until the cell division is no longer regulated.- Amutation
- Bdivide
2Oncogenesis:
• 1 mutation is not enough, need [blank_start]multiple[blank_end] mutations
• Number of mutations varies – impacts on [blank_start]immunogenicity & prognosis[blank_end]
• These should generally be picked up at the [blank_start]check[blank_end] points, and the DNA repaired, unless the checkpoint itself is mutated (‘[blank_start]driver[blank_end]’ mutation)…- Amultiple
- Bimmunogenicity & prognosis
- Ccheck
- Ddriver
3Which of these is not an origin of mutations?
- ADNA replication
- BInherited
- CEnvironmental insult
- DInfectious agents
- EGMOs
4DNA replication
• normal DNA replication introduces 1 mutation /10^7 nucleotides
• most mutations still [blank_start]won’t[blank_end] cause cancer, however there are some [blank_start]key[blank_end] gene families in which a mutation can lead to oncogenesis:
- tumor suppressor genes([blank_start]inactive[blank_end] in cancer): [blank_start]growth[blank_end] factors & growth regulators, repair & [blank_start]apoptosis[blank_end] genes, contact inhibition genes
- activator genes (oncogenes & proto-oncogenes, [blank_start]active[blank_end] in cancer): angiogenic genes – eg [blank_start]vascular endothelial[blank_end] growth factor (VEGF), genes which allow metastasis and escape from [blank_start]immune[blank_end] surveillance- Awon’t
- Bkey
- Cinactive
- Dapoptosis
- Egrowth
- Factive
- Gvascular endothelial
- Himmune
5Inherited mutations
• some forms of cancer have a higher occurrence in some families
• they have inherited either:
- defective [blank_start]tumor suppressor[blank_end] genes
- activated [blank_start]oncogenes[blank_end]
BRCA is a tumor [blank_start]suppressor[blank_end] gene involved in repairing DNA [blank_start]damage[blank_end]. BRCA1/2 mutation results is a 56–84% lifetime risk of developing [blank_start]breast[blank_end] cancer and an 36–63% risk for [blank_start]ovarian[blank_end] cancer.- Atumor suppressor
- Boncogenes
- Csuppressor
- Ddamage
- Ebreast
- Fovarian
6Environmental Insult:
• Chemical = carcinogens. Either [blank_start]directly[blank_end] damage DNA or their [blank_start]metabolites[blank_end] damage DNA. Types of damage are strand [blank_start]breakage[blank_end], gene [blank_start]truncation[blank_end], nucleotide deletions & substitutions. Most common chemically induced cancer - lung cancer ([blank_start]30[blank_end]% of all cancer deaths).
• Physical = radiation – variable toxicity.
Non-ionizing:
• UV, microwaves.
• UV causes [blank_start]melanoma[blank_end]
Ionizing:
• X-rays, g-rays, atomic bombs, nuclear reactors
• [blank_start]Spontaneous[blank_end] tumor development (thyroid, breast, bone marrow)- Adirectly
- Bmetabolites
- Cbreakage
- Dtruncation
- E30
- Fmelanoma
- GSpontaneous
7Human Papillomavirus Viruses (HPV) is an infectious agent that can cause cancer. HPV is isolated from > 90% of [blank_start]cervical[blank_end] tumors. HPV also causes [blank_start]anogenital and oropharnygeal[blank_end] carcinoma. High risk’ cancer-causing types:
- HPV-[blank_start]16[blank_end] (55% of tumors)
- HPV-18 (15%)
- HPV-45 (10%)- Acervical
- Banogenital and oropharnygeal
- C16
8The immune system has pro-tumor effects - chronic inflammation has been associated with oncogenesis, and anti-tumor effects - immune system can kill cancer cells.

9 CD8 T cells must be activated by a professional [blank_start]antigen presenting cell[blank_end] (APC) to kill cancerous cells. The problem is we need to get activation of the APC, but there is no infection. Hopefully there is enough [blank_start]necrosis[blank_end] and/or cell [blank_start]stress[blank_end] to activate the APC.
The [blank_start]cytotoxic[blank_end] immune response should kill tumours but tumors are [blank_start]self[blank_end] tissues. CD8 T cells are not allowed to destroy cells expressing self [blank_start]antigens[blank_end]. The solution is an immune response directed against: [blank_start]mutated[blank_end] antigens (new proteins in genetically unstable cells), viral proteins, or [blank_start]inappropriately expressed[blank_end] antigens.- Aantigen presenting cell
- Bnecrosis
- Cstress
- Dcytotoxic
- Eself
- Fantigens
- Gmutated
- Hinappropriately expressed
10Which of these is NOT an immune evasion strategy used by tumours?
- Anot make any tumor antigens
- Bshut down antigen presentation
- Cshut down MHC class I expression
- Dshut down expression of co-stimulator or adhesion molecules
- Enot make immune cells
11Tumor is immunosuppressive.
• Tumour expresses [blank_start]T cell apoptosis[blank_end] molecules eg Fas L
• Tumour secretes anti-inflammatory or suppressive molecules eg TGFb, [blank_start]IL-10, PGE-2[blank_end]- AT cell apoptosis
- BIL-10, PGE-2
