Frage 1 von 14

1

What is the difference between cell growth and cell proliferation?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Cell growth = increase in cell numbers; Cell proliferation = increase in ONE cell's mass/size.

  • No meaningful distinction.
    (/ distinction without substantial difference)
    (/ fuck all)

Cdks (Cyclin-Dependent KinaseS) are regulated by:

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Cyclins

  • Phosphorylation

Mitogens are:

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Things that stimulate cell division (e.g. hormones, cytokines).

  • Stimulate migration.

Erklärung

Frage 10 von 14

1

Disordered signaling in cancer.
Many cancer-critical genes (oncogenes or tumour-suppressor genes) regulate cell growth and proliferation.
e.g. a mutation may lead to independence from mitogen-dependence.

Acquiring the ability to synthesise mitogens (resulting in autocrine stimulation) is one way this can happen. Some examples of this are:

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • PDGF, TGFα - glioblastomas & osteosarcoma

  • EGF-R/erbB (epidermal growth factor receptor); HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor)

Erklärung

1

Disordered signaling in cancer.
Many cancer-critical genes (oncogenes or tumour-suppressor genes) regulate cell growth and proliferation.
e.g. a mutation may lead to independence from mitogen-dependence.

Constitutive expression of their receptors (resulting in increased sensitivity?) is one way this can happen. Some examples of this are:

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • PDGF, TGFα - glioblastomas & osteosarcoma

  • EGF-R/erbB (epidermal growth factor receptor); HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor)

Erklärung

Frage 12 von 14

1

HER2 (Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor) mutations are present in:

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Overexpressed in breast cancer.

  • Overexpressed in stomach, brain, and breast cancer.

  • Abnormally present in glioblastomas and osteosarcoma.

Erklärung

Frage 13 von 14

1

EGF-R / erbB (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) and cancer...

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Up-regulated in stomach, brain, and breast cancer.

  • Up-regulated in breast cancer.

  • Abnormally present in gliobastomas & osteosarcoma.
