Can chromosomal instability initiate tumorigenesis?
Cancers result from the accumulation of inherited and somatic mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. These genes encode proteins that function in growth regulatory and differentiation pathways. Mutations in those genes increase the net reproductive rate of cells. Chromosomal instability (CIN) is a feature of most human cancers. Mutations in CIN genes increase the rate at which whole...
متن کاملPyrimidine pool imbalance induced by BLM helicase deficiency contributes to genetic instability in Bloom syndrome.
Defects in DNA replication are associated with genetic instability and cancer development, as illustrated in Bloom syndrome. Features of this syndrome include a slowdown in replication speed, defective fork reactivation and high rates of sister chromatid exchange, with a general predisposition to cancer. Bloom syndrome is caused by mutations in the BLM gene encoding a RecQ helicase. Here we rep...
متن کاملPolyamine catabolism contributes to enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis-induced colon tumorigenesis.
It is estimated that the etiology of 20-30% of epithelial cancers is directly associated with inflammation, although the direct molecular events linking inflammation and carcinogenesis are poorly defined. In the context of gastrointestinal disease, the bacterium enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) is a significant source of chronic inflammation and has been implicated as a risk factor f...
متن کاملActivation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase Contributes to Pancreatic Tumorigenesis by Inducing Tumor-Related Gene Mutations.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) develops via an accumulation of various gene mutations. The mechanism underlying the mutations in PDAC development, however, is not fully understood. Recent insight into the close association between the mutation pattern of various cancers and specific mutagens led us to investigate the possible involvement of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), ...
متن کاملDealing with Gene-Dosage Imbalance during S Phase.
DNA replication perturbs the dosage balance between genes that replicate early during S phase and those that replicate late. If propagated to influence protein content, this dosage imbalance could influence cellular functions. In bacteria, mechanisms have evolved to use this imbalance to tune certain processes with the rate of cell growth. By contrast, eukaryotes buffer this dosage imbalance to...
