3 Phenomenology of Cancer: What are the features that cancers present in human populations?
Extent and Clinical Patterns of Cancers Epidemiology of Cancers Classification and Nomenclature What do these features tell us about the basic biology of cancer? What do these features tell us about Diagnosis, Management (therapy), and Prevention of Cancers? Folder title: Intro501: The first part of this course defines the cancer problem is terms of its epidemiology and public health impact. It then classifies the 200 or more clinical human cancers, and relates these to the underlying biology of cancer.

4 What Models of Cancers Do We Actually Use in Cancer Biology and Cancer Medicine?
Neoplastic and Normal Cell Lines in Culture Transformed Normal Cells Freshly-derived Cancer Cells Genetically Engineered Cells Engineered Tissues (3-Dimensional Cell Cultures) Animal Models in Cancer Research and Cancer Medicine (“Pre-Clinical Trials”) Inbred Animal Models Veterinary Animals Animal-Human Engineered Hybrid Models Clinical Cancer in Patients Clinical Trials (Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III)

5 What are Cancer Cells Like? How do Cancer Cells “Talk” to each other?
As Isolated Cells? In Tumor-bearing Animals? In Patients? Characteristics of Cancer Cells in Culture How does a Cancer Cell “Talk” to Itself and Its Neoplastic Neighbors? Why are cancer cells in cell culture Immortal? Tumor Cell Populations and Tumor Tissues in vivo How do Cancer Cells “Talk” to each other? How do Cancer Cells “Talk” to normal cells? What do cancer cells “hear” from the host? Why don’t cancer cells know how old they are and when to die? Growth Patterns of Experimental and Clinical Cancers How Do Cancer Cells Change and Progress in Malignant Potential? What are the Patterns of Invasion & Spread to Distant Sites? Folder title: Intro501: The course then proceeds to discuss the natural history of cancers and relates these features to the underlying basic biology.

6 What are Cancers like in Patients? What do clinicians see?
What are they dealing with? The Story of Kuyler Van Nocker and Neuroblastoma (See Slide 49 for Video Link) William Bunn: Boy Police-Officer and Neuroblastoma (See Slide 24 for Video Link) Kelley Mitchell and Ewing’s Sarcoma (See Slide 50) Taylor Black and Neuroblastoma See UntreedReads.com Daydreams and Diaries By Tim Black (Taylor Black’s Father)

7 What Features are Seen in Cancer Genetics?
What does modern genomics tell us about cancer biology, origins of cancer, cancer diagnosis and treatment? What are the crucial features of cancer cell genomes? What are the hereditary patterns in tumor-bearing hosts? What are the clonal origins of cancers? What do Proteomics (the spectrum of expressed proteins) and Epigenetics* tell us about Cancer origins and progression? *(modification of genes and gene-products) Folder title: Intro501: The phenomenology and natural history of cancer are intimately related to the genetics of cancer cells and of the cancer-bearing host.

8 Differentiation and Cancer: Cancer as an expression of abberrant differentiation
How are genes expressed and controlled in cancer? Can the malignant state be reversed to normal? Why are oncofetal genes often re-expressed in cancers? Folder title: Intro501: Gene expression is also crucial in the appearance and subsequent natural history of cancers.

I will get an icon on my screen to see what was asked. 447Intro: 447Grad1 Please read carefully the details concerning BIO 447 that are presented in the various BIO 447 Setup links in the first group of boxes on the course Home Page. Note especially that I do not give (or grade) exams for students who never come to class. If you prefer not to go to course presentations and discussions, BIO 447 is not for you.

12 To Respond to Turning Point Questions in Class:
Using the NXT Transmitter (Revised January 10, 2015 Put your last name onto your transmitter under “Your ID” for NXT If you borrow a transmitter from us, fill out an index card, take instruction form, leave the device ID unchanged on the borrowed transmitter. We will know who y ou are form the index card that you filled out on the date when you borrowed our transmitter. Do not change the “BIO” designation. We are using Channel 41 in this room. NXT should find Channel 41 when you hit “Find Channel”. You get a smiley face. Respond to the question as directed on the question itself. With NXT you have to hit the square response button in the upper left below the screen in order to get to the blank screen that is presentation mode. Screen will show whether your response has been received. Your device will also show a check when your name has been received. If you have problem with your NXT transmitter we can provide a paper back-up form if absolutely unavoidable. However, you must hand in the back-up form with your response at the same time that the question is being responded to by the rest of the class. You must identify yourself with your SUID photo card when you hand in a back-up form so we know that the form has been filled out by the person who hands it in. We count persons in class and match that number with the TP responses + Backup Forms. If the numbers don’t agree, we hand out paper forms one-at-a-time. The person or persons who have someone else respond for them will be dismissed from the class

13 The Next Two Slides are Turning Point Quiz Question Slides
You may not use any notes or electronic devices other than your NXT transmitter. No computers. No phones. No talking or consulting. Make sure that your desk is clear. These are graded quizzes that make up 40% of the overall course grade. They are designed for both you and me to determine whether you are paying attention and following what is going on. You can send a “Response to Leader” while a TP Slide is open. Give it a try. You can communicate with me.

43 Increased T Cell Adhesion
Growth Factors and Receptors: Signal Transduction Across Membranes Ras Pathway Increased T Cell Adhesion R T K Growth Factors R T K Antigen PMA Integrins GAP T C R SHC GRB2 GTP CD-GEGII β1 Ras β1 β1 SOS Ras P β2 β2 GEF P P GDP Lck PLC-ε PI3K p120- GAP RalGDS P Raf Rac Rap1A p190-B Ral GTP P MEKs PAKs PLD RalBP1 Rho PLD Pathway Review: Ras is a membrane-associated guanine nucleotide-binding protein that is normally activated in response to the binding of extracellular signals, such as growth factors, RTKs (Receptor Tyrosine Kinases), TCR (T-Cell Receptors) and PMA (Phorbol-12 Myristate-13 Acetate). Ras signaling affects many cellular functions, which includes cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, fate specification, and differentiation. Ras acts as a binary signal switch cycling between ON and OFF states, which are characterized in terms of a small molecule, a guanine nucleotide, bound to the protein. In the resting cell, Ras is tightly bound to GDP (Guanosine Diphosphate), which is exchanged for GTP (Guanosine Triphosphate) upon binding of extracellular stimuli to cell membrane receptors. In the GTP-bound form, Ras interacts specifically with so-called effector proteins, thereby initiating cascades of protein-protein interactions that may finally lead to cell proliferation. To return to the inactive OFF state, Ras cleaves off the terminal phosphate moiety, the Gamma-Phosphate, of GTP in an enzymatic process, the intrinsic GTPase reaction. The remaining GDP-bound Ras is no longer able to interact with effectors, it is switched OFF. Ras is thought to activate a number of signaling pathways, including the Raf/MEK/ERK (Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinases) pathway, the MEKK/SEK/JNK (Jun N-terminal Kinases) pathway, a PI3K (Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase)/Akt/NF-KappaB (Nuclear Factor-Kappa B) pathway, a p120-GAP/p190-B/Rac/NF-KappaB pathway, and a Raf/MEKK1/IKK (I-KappaB Kinase)/I-KappaB/NF-KappaB pathway. Most growth factors that signal through RTKs or heterotrimeric GPCR (G-Protein Coupled Receptors) stimulate Ras by recruiting the GEF (Guanine-Nucleotide Exchange Factor) SOS (Son of Sevenless) to the membrane. SOS exists in a complex with the adapter protein GRB2 (Growth Factor Receptor-Bound Protein-2). Upon receptor activation, the GRB2/SOS complex is translocated to the membrane by binding of GRB2 to tyrosyl-phosphorylated residues in RTKs or additional adapter proteins. GTP-bound Ras recruits and activates Raf. Raf initiates a cascade of protein phosphorylation by first phosphorylating MEKs. Phosphorylated MEK in turn phosphorylates ERKs. Phosphorylated ERK moves from the cytoplasm into the nucleus where it subsequently phosphorylates a number of transcription factors, including the specific transcription factor called Elk1. Phosphorylated transcription factors turn on transcription (gene expression) of specific sets of target genes. The activity of Ras is limited by the hydrolysis of GTP back to GDP by GAP (GTPase Activating Proteins) (Ref.1). A second effector is PI3K, which synthesizes several lipid second messengers that activate small G proteins such as Rac and CDC42 (Cell Division Cycle-42). Rac also has multiple effectors, one of which is the serine threonine kinase PAKs (p21 Activated Kinases). The PI3K-mediated survival signal is also triggered by the activation of Akt/PKB (Protein Kinase-B). The third and most recently established effector is the Ral guanine nucleotide exchange factor, RalGDS (Ral-Guanine Nucleotide Dissociation Stimulator). RalGDS is a GEF (Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor) for the small GTPase Ral. Currently, five Ral GEFs have been identified; RalGDS, Rgl, Rlf, Rgr and RalGEF2 that are direct targets for Ras (Ref.2). They provide a mechanism for Ral activation by extracellular signals via a variety of receptors, including GPCR and RTKs. Reactive free radicals and cellular redox stress have been proposed to directly activate Ras. NO (Nitric Oxide) promotes the direct post translational modification of Ras by single S-nitrosylation at Cys118. These results in stimulation of guanine nucleotide exchange, possibly by destabilization associates with other effectors, leading to transduction of Ras mediated signals through multiple pathways. In addition to Raf, PI3K and RalGDS other Ras effectors have been proposed, including p120GAP, PKC-zeta, Rin1, AF6, and NF1 GAP (Ref.3). TCR engagement also leads to the activation of Ras via a signaling pathway involving the activation of p56 (Lck) and PKC (Protein Kinase-C). Biochemical and genetic studies have now confirmed the functional relevance of Ras effectors. The Raf protein kinase family controls the activation of the MAPK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases) pathway and plays a major role in controlling proliferation and differentiation. The PI3K mediates some of the Ras-dependent actin cytoskeleton remodeling and protection against apoptosis. The third bonafide Ras effector is RalGDS, regulates multiple processes including receptor endocytosis, cytoskeletal changes, and DNA synthesis. The Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway features several oncogenes and is deregulated in approximately 30% of all human cancers. It has also emerged as a prime target for antitumor therapy (Ref.4).
