1. Biology of tumor growth The natural history of malignant tumors can be divided into four phase: A. Transformation B. Growth of transformation cells C. Local invasion D. Distant metastases

15 Tumor Angiogenesis

16 Tumor Angiogenesis
17
Angiogenesis is required for tumors to grow beyond a few millimeters in diameter ► In 1971, Judah Folkman, signal molecules for new blood vessel formation ► Tumor angiogenesis The processes of cancer cells stimulate the development of a blood supply

(3) Tumor progression and heterogeneity Despite most malignant tumors are monoclonal in origin, by the time they become clinically evident, their constituent cells are extremely heterogeneous resulting from multiple mutations that accumulate independently in different cells.

4. Cancer Cells and Microeviroment Cancer cells cannot growth by itself It is need support by microenviroment (stromal). Lack of supporting cancer cells will die.

Tumor Cells -Epithelial-Mesenchymal-Hematopoietic Microenvironment-Fibroblasts/Myofibroblasts -Endothelial Cells -Myoepithelial Cells -Leukocytes -Extracellular Matrix -Usually Bulk of Tumor
24
Bi-directional Interactions between Cancer cells and enviroment Microenvironment can contribute positive or negative signals to tumor cells: signals may be mediated by bioactive products or cell-cell contact Tumor cells modify the microenvironment to produce bioactive products such as growth factors, chemokines, matrix-degrading enzymes that enhance the proliferation, survival, invasion, and metastasis of tumor cells.

27
5. Tumor spread The spread is a cheracteristic of malignant tumors (1) Local invasion (2) Metastasis
28
The steps and mechanism of invasion : i. Cancerous cells attaching basement membrane. ii. Local proteolysis iii. Locomotion Cancers cells invade, penetrate local tissue fissure progressively. 1. Local Invasion
29
The three steps of invasion Liotta, LA. Tumor invasion and metastasis-role of the extracellular matrix. Cancer Res 46: (1986) 1 Matrix attachment 2 Matrix degradation Locomotion 3
30
How do cells move through tissues? Acquire invasive ability Ability to degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) Acquire motile ability Lose cell-cell junctions (EMT-like switch) Acquire motile capability Directed migration to hospitable sites Chemotaxis Communication between tumor and host cells
31
31 Cell motility activation By signal molecules From cancer cells or surrounding cells Proteases production To remove cancer cell movement barriers Plasminogen activator (plasminogen → plasmin) (fig. 3-9) How do cells move through tissues? Cont..

32 Invasion and Metastasis
33
Matrix degradation by proteinases Metalloproteinases (MMPs) Serine proteinases (plasmin, uPA) Cysteine proteinase (Cathepsin B,L) Aspartyl proteinases (Cathepsin D) Threonine proteinases (not extracellular)
34
(2) Metastasis Definition: metastasis connotes the development of secondary implants discontinuous with the primary tumor, possibly in remote tissue.

39
Organ-specific factors play a role in determining where cancer cells will metastasize ► Seed and soil hypothesis ► Only a few sites provide an optimal environment for the growth for a particular type of cancer cell ► The ability of cancer cells to grow in different locations is affected by interactions between cancer cells and molecules present in the specific organs
40
① Lymphatic metastasis a. This is the most common pathway for initial dissemination of carcinoma. b. Tumor cells gain access to an afferent lymphatic channel and carried to the regional lymph nodes. In lymph nodes, initially tumor cell are confined to the subcapsular sinus; with the time, the architecture of the nodes may be entirely destroyed and replaced by tumor.
41
c. Through the efferent lymphatic channels tumor may still be carried to distanced lymph rode, and enter the bloodstream by the way of the thoracic duct finally. d. Destruction of the capsule or infiltration to neighboring lymph nodes eventually causes these nodes to become firm, enlarged and matted together.

46
② Hematogenous metastasis a. This pathway is typical of sarcoma but is also used by carcinoma b. Process: tumor cells → small blood vessels → tumor emboli → distant parts → adheres to the endothelium of the vessel → invasive the wall of the vessel → proliferate in the adjacent tissue → establish a new metastatic tumor.
47
c. follow the direction of blood flow. Tumors entering the superior or inferior vena cava will be carried to the lungs tumors entering the portal system will metastasize to the liver. d. Some cancers have preferential sites for metastases lung cancer offal metastasize to the brain, bones, and adrenal glands. Prostate cancer frequently metastasize to the bones. e. Morphologic features of metastasis tumors multiple, circle, scatter
48
③ Implantation metastasis a. Tumor cells seed the surface of body cavities b. Most often involved is the peritoneal cavity c. But also may affect pleural, pericardial, subarachnoid, and joint space.
49
Mechanisms of invasion and metastasis ① Invasion of the extracellular metastasis a. Loosening up of tumor cells from each other: E-adhering expression is reduced b. Attachment to matrix components: cancer cells have many more receptors of lamina and fibronectin. c. Degradation of extra cellular matrix: Tumor cells can secrete proteolytic enzymes or induce host cells to elaborate proteases.
50
② Vascular dissemination and homing of tumor cells a. Tumor cells may also express adhesion molecules whose ligands are expressed preferentially on the endothelial cells of target organ. b. Some target organs may liberate chmoattractonts that tend to recruit tumor cells to the site. e. g. insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ, Ⅱ. c. In some cases, the target tissue may be not an permissive environment. i. g. inhibitors of proteases could prevent the establishment of mend of a tumor cottony.
51
③ Molecular genetics of metastases At present, no single “ metastasis gene ” has been found, just son conciliates a. High expression of nm23 gene often accompanied with low metastatic potential. b. KAI-I gene, located on 11pn-2, expressed in normal prostate but not in metastasis prostate cancer. c. KISS gene, also located on human chromosome Ⅱ, analogous manner in human malignant melanoma.

Factors Hindering Metastatic Spread 1. Metastasis-Suppressor Genes: e.g. - TIMP: Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases - CAD1 gene: for E-cadherin 2. Host Responses Activated Macrophages Natural Killer Cells Cytotoxic Lymphocytes 3. Hydrodynamic Effects in Host circulation 4. Failure to Recognize and Arrest at Secondary Site StopMets
56
56 Specific genes promote or suppress the ability of cancer cells to metastasize ► Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) inhibitors can inhibit cancer cells metastasis ► Metastasis promoting genes MMPs ► cancer cells Enhancement of metastasis promoting genes Diminishing of metastasis suppressor genes
57
Routes of tumor spread Hematogenous (bloodstream) sarcomas, carcinomas, leukemias Lymphatic (lymph nodes) carcinomas Direct extension (surface implantation, ascites) ovarian, other carcinomas
