APC/b-catenin
PTEN
TGF is potent inhibitor of proliferation. Receptor is serine-threonine kinase complex of I and II. Phosphorylates R-SMAD SMAD 4 binding CDKI transcription. 100% of pancreatic, 83% of colon has mutation in TGF-b pathway. Mutation in type II colon, stomach, endometrial cancers. Located on 16 q. Expression downreagulated by SNAIL. Mediate epithelial cell adhesion. Connected to bCatenin and actin skeleton intracellularly. Mutation leads to sense of loss of contact. Loss leads to easy disaggregation of cells metastatic spread. Loss key in EMT. Somatic mutation (reduced expression) carcinoma of stomach. Germline Familial gastric cancers. Neurofibromin = GTPase Activator Protein (GAP) Inner surface of PM. Inhibition of RAS. One inherited mutant allele NFM1 (benign neurofibromas and optic gliomas after inactivation of 2nd allele). Can later develop malignant peripheral sheath tumors. Produces Merlin. Member of SWH tumor suppressor pathway. Establishes stable cell-cell junction. Homology with RBC cytoskeletal protein Band 4.1. On cytoskeleton cytoskeltal stability. Germline Mutation in 1 allele bilateral schwannomas. Normal function to inhibit signal transduction. Chromosome 5q21. Mutation unregulated proliferation. Thousands of polyps by 20, increasing malignancy chance. 70-80% of familial colon cancers implicated. Part of WNT pathway. APC downregulates b-catenin by ubiquitination. Signal by WNT stops APC. Bcatenin +TCF upregulates cyclin D1 and c-MYC. Phosphatase and Tensin homologue. Membrane associated phosphatase on chromosome 10q23. Mutated in Cowden syndrome (AD disorder with frequent benign tumors of skin appendages). Frequent in epithelial cancers, particularly breast, endometrium, thyroid.

Chromosome 18q21 13q14 Regulation of cell cycle. Protein binds Binds E2F. HPV E7 will bind and release E2F proliferation. Hypophosphorylated binds E2F. Phosphorylation by CyclinD/CDK4 leads to E2F release and p27. Blocker of cell progression from G1S. Child who inherits one mutant allele is heterozygous and normal. Second hit = Loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Retinoblastoma and osteosarcoma. Chromosome 17p13.1 Most common genetic alteration in tumors. 50% of tumors contain mutation. Li Fraumani syndrome = 1 allele lost, 25x increase in risk of cancer. Tumor suppressor gene altered in the majority of cancers; causes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Acts mainly through p21 to cause cell cycle arrest. Causes apoptosis by inducing the transcription of pro-apoptotic genes such as BAX. Levels of p53 are negatively regulated by MDM2 through a feedback loop. p53 is required for the G 1/S checkpoint and is a main component of the G2/M checkpoint. HPV E6 degrades p53. 11p13. Wilms tumor if inactivated. Involved in gonadal and renal differentiation. Regulates mesenchymal to epithelial transition. In adults overexpression can lead to tumorigenesis. Regulation of cell cycle. Blocks CyclinD/CDK4 phosphorylatoin of RB. CDKI. Crucial for induction of senescence. Bladder, head, neck tumors, ALL, cholangiocarcinomas.

Chromosome 13q12-13. Fanconi anemia! BRCA1 plus pancreas, bile ducts, stomach, melanocytes. Involved in homologous recombination repair.
p53
MOLECULES THAT PARTICIPATE IN APOPTOSIS CD95/Fas Extrinsic death receptor pathway. Activation by FasL leads to trimerization of receptor and cytoplasmic death domains, which attract FADD, which attracts procaspase 8 caspase 3 activation (executioner caspase) and DNA cleavage. Reduced levels antiapoptosis. Under regulation of p53. Along with BAK, directly promote mitochondrial permeabilization, leading to cytochrome C escape and APAF1 activation caspase 9 activation. Inhibited by BCL2. Barrier to mitochondrial permeabilization. Anti-apoptotic. Chromosome 18q21. Follicular lymphoma t(14; 18) Roughly 10-20% of DLBCL. Lead to DNA cleavage and cell death. Apoptosis regulators. Caspase 3 is most important executioner. Caspase 8 active in extrinsic pathway with CD95/Fas. Caspase 9 active in intrinsic pathway with Cytochrome C. Chromosome 17p13.1 Most common genetic alteration in tumors. 50% of tumors contain mutation. Li Fraumani syndrome = 1 allele lost, 25x increase in risk of cancer. Tumor suppressor gene altered in the majority of cancers; causes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Acts mainly through p21 to cause cell cycle arrest. Causes apoptosis by inducing the transcription of pro-apoptotic genes such as BAX. Levels of p53 are negatively regulated by MDM2 through a feedback loop. p53 is required for the G 1/S checkpoint and is a main component of the G2/M checkpoint. HPV E6 degrades p53.
