1. Why does cell proceed towards
carcinogenesis when there are
mechanisms to remove cells unfit for
survival?

characterised by progression of changes at the
- Genetic
- Epigenetic level
- Ultimately lead to uncontrolled cell division

10. ApoptosisApoptosis
• Apoptosis is a active energy dependent process that involves
cleavage of DNA by endonucleases and proteins by proteases
called CASPASES.
Lowe et al., 2000
12. Necrosis
• Local death of tissue within living tissue after degradative
action of enzymes on the irreversible injured cell
13. • Potentially reversible process in which a cell that is stressed EATS
itself.
Elmore., 2007
• Characterized by the formation of cytoplasmic AUTOPHAGIC
VESICLES
• Targeted disruption of genes such as ATG5 that are involved in
autophagy can inhibit cell death.
• Autophagy has dual roles in cancer:
- a tumor suppressor by preventing the accumulation of damaged
proteins and organelles
- as a mechanism of cell survival that can promote the growth of
tumors
Tait et al., 2014

a)Beclin 1 mutation
b) PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway dysregulation

19. Checkpoints in cell cycle
the cell cycle is controlled by two classes of cell cycle
proteins,
cyclins and cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs),
which physically associate to form a protein
kinase that drives the cell cycle forward

most tumor cells lack the
DNA damage-induced p53-
dependent G1 checkpoint,
increasing the likelihood
that mutations will be
propagated in these cells.

21. • Situated at the short arm of 17 chromosome
• Mutated in most of the cancer cases
• Repair of damaged DNA before S-phase in the cycle by
arresting cell cycle in G1 phase untill the damage is repaired
• Apoptic cell death if there is extensive DNA damage
• p53 can lost its function:
a) Non sense mutation or mis sense mutation
b) Binding of normal p53 to viral oncoproteins

27. • Caretaker genes
- Maintain the integrity of the genome by repairing DNA
damage
• Gatekeeper genes
- Inhibit the proliferation or promote the death of cells with
damaged DNA

30. • APC regulates the rates of proliferation and apoptosis
• APC is important for cytoskeletal integrity, cellular adhesion,
and Wnt signaling.
• APC plays a role in the G1/S transition of the cell cycle by
modulating expression levels of c-myc and cyclin D1
• full length APC is also important in maintaining intestinal cell
migration up the crypt and inducing apoptosis

34. Conclusion
Oncogenic mutation distrupt apoptosis ,leading to tumor
initiation,progression and metastasis
Agents that induce apoptosis,autophagy can be used as
anticancer drugs
p53 mutation causes Li- Fraumenic syndrome
Bcl-2 alteration causes hodgkin disease,breast cancer
Bax deletion causes brain tumors
