What type of cell death is most often induced in cancer cells by radiation and chemotherapy drugs? Why is this? (ie- which factor is often missing in cancer cells?)
Homework Answers
Chemotherapy is used to kill the cancerous cells and reduce the tumors. It is used to destroy the cell division control center. Chemotherapy mainly targets the fast dividing cells and we know that the cancerous cells divide rapidly. So it leads to apoptosis of cancer cells.
The reasons behind uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells are-
-Lack of contact inhibition in which a cell stops to divide when come in contact with adjacent cells.
-Due to presence of telomerase enzyme.
- lack of tumor protein p53 which is required at checkpoint.
Thanks.

A. Cancer cells often have acquired mutations that disrupt their ability to undergo programmed cell death. Name three (3) mutations (loss of function or gain of function) in the RTK-PI3 kinase-AKT pathway that would lead to the survival pathway being “always on”. And of course, for each, explain your reasoning.

Customary treatment for metastatic cancer, chemotherapy and radiation, execute growth cells by inciting apoptosis. Be that as it may, disease cells get to be safe in view of numerous systems in particular, multidrug resistance pumps, temperamental genomes, changes, and so on. Propose elective medications that might be more fruitful against tumors and that don't include the apoptotic pathway (caspase-autonomous pathways). please include the page where you got it from.

Cancer cells often lack normal DNA damage response and cell-cycle control mechanisms. Why does this make them more susceptible to DNA-damaging chemotherapies? O Cancer cells will arrest in the cycle and will not grow further O Cancer cells with activating mutations in Ras will amplify the damage through the Ras signaling pathway Cancer cells might ignore the normal mechanisms that halt the cell cycle in response to damage, and subsequent division with damage leads to death, O Cancer cells have...

Question 5: Signal Transduction A. Cancer cells often have acquired mutations that disrupt their ability to undergo programmed cell death. Name three (3) mutations (loss of function or gain of function) in the RTK-PI3 kinase-AKT pathway that would lead to the survival pathway being “always on”. And of course, for each, explain your reasoning. B. There is a phosphatase called PTEN that dephosphorylates phosphorylated inositol phospholipid (PIP3). Would a loss of function in PTEN cause cells to undergo programmed cell...

Cancer is Uncontrolled Mitosis. Cells that no longer respond properly to cell cycle controls often undergo unrestrained cell division forming abnormal tissues called tumors. If these tumor cells stay within the abnormal tissue, then they are deemed benign and may not harm the individual. However, if the tumor cells invade neighboring tissues and spread to other areas of the body where they can form new tumors, then this type of tumor is called malignant and can adversely affect the affected...
