a. Horizontal Transfer of Genes
1. DNA and Chromosomes
⑴ DNA binds to proteins to form a dye (= chromatin) and contains many genes
① Cationic amino acids, such as histidine, condense negatively charged DNA
② Heterochromatin : Condensation of chromatin
③ Soothing dye : Chromatin loose
⑵ Chromosome : Condensation of chromatin and observable with optical microscope
① Number of chromosomes = Number of chunks acting as one = Number of chunks that are dyed together
② The number of chromosomes is equal to the number of allotopics except tetravalent chromosomes ⑶ Karyotype : Refers to the shape, size and number of chromosomes, species specific
① Use chemicals to stop during cell division for observation
⑷ Sister chromatids : Chromosomes bound to each other at the centromere after the non-replicated chromosome is replicated
① The number of sister chromosomes is the number of DNA
② Mobilization : Possibility of dynein motor protein binding site and mobilization
③ Divalent Chromosome (chromosome tetrad) : If there are four sister chromosomes on one chromosome, four sister chromosomes bound to the centromere
○ Homologous chromosomes do not share isotopes : The number of chromosomes = why the number of chromosomes
○ 1 divalent chromosome = 1 chromosome tetrad = 2 chromosomes = 4 sister chromosomes
④ Monovalent chromosome (chromosome dyad) : If there are two sister chromosomes on a chromosome, two sister chromosomes bound to the centromere
○ Respectively called P arm and Q arm
○ 1 monovalent chromosome = 1 chromosome dyad = 1 chromosome = 2 sister chromosomes
⑤ Zero-valent chromosome : If one chromosome has one sister chromosome, one strand of DNA double helix
○ Chromosome Forms of Germ Cells
○ 1 zero chromosome = 0 chromosomes = 1 sister chromosome
⑸ Homologous and sex chromosomes
① Homologous chromosome (autosome) : Same size, shape, centroid position, relative locus (locus, locus)
② Sex chromosome : Different positions, genetic makeup, partial homology
③ Example : Humans have 22 pairs of autosomal and 1 pair of sex chromosomes
④ Example : Human germ cells have 22 autosomal and 1 sex chromosomes
⑹ Cell division involved protein
① condensin (condensin) : Condensing Dyed Yarns to Chromosomes
② Cohesion : Each chromosome binds to each other, only cohesins exist near the centromere
③ Shugosin : Do not decompose homologous chromosomes in 1meiosis
④ Securin : Inhibition of seperase, prevention of separation of sister chromosome until late cell division
○ It acts on mitosis, meiosis and meiosis
○ APC Inhibits Securin
⑤ seperase (seperase) : Decomposition of cohesins of isotope subgroups, and separation of sister chromosome in late cell division
○ It acts on mitosis, meiosis and meiosis
⑺ Mitotic spindle
① Spinal cord is composed of microtubules
② Spinal cord attachment point (kinetochore) : Structure that protein binds to isotope
③ Kinetochore microtubule : Dynein, spindle splice bound to chromosomes, involved in late chromosomal migration
④ Nonkinetochore microtubule : Pair of kinesins, spindles with opposite spindles, involved in terminal cell extension
○ One kinesin of each polar spine sticks together and pushes each other
⑤ Astral Skewers : Later transfer of centroids to the anode
⑥ Chromosomal Arm Skewers : Spinal cord attached to the arm of chromosome, rotating the chromosome later in order to orient it properly
⑻ Reagent
① Gimsa : Better staining on A-T rich sites with fewer bindings on chromosomes
② Acetic acid alcohol : Fixed to prevent cell division
③ Hydroxy Urea : Unite all cells into G1
④ Acridine orange : DNA double helix broken
⑤ Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) : Convert neutrophils into neutrophils blasts to induce division and differentiation and use for karyotyping
2. Vertical transfer of genes : Cell division
⑴ Type of cell division
① Mitosis : Somatic cell division
○ Embryogenesis, wound healing, tissue and organ production and growth in the fertilized egg
○ Daughter cells genetically identical to parental : Premise of no mutation
○ Proliferation of asexual reproduction
② Meiosis : Germ cell division
○ Cleavage for Diploid Creatures to Create Gametes for Sexual Reproduction
○ Half the number of chromosomes → daughter cells are haploids (n)
○ Methods of Proliferation of Sexual Reproduction
③ Number of chromosomes and sister chromosomes (meiosis)
⑵ Cleavage and tickling
① Interphase : Most cell cycles
○ G stands for gap or growth, S stands for synthesis
○ G1 : Cell growth and organelle proliferation
○ S group : DNA replication, centrifugal replication, histone protein synthesis. 46 chromosomes, 92 sister chromosomes / cell
○ In the case of animal cells, two centrioles form one centrosome, so the final four centroids
○ In the case of plant cells, the final two centroids
○ G2 : Proteins required for cell division (e.g., Tubulin) synthesis
② Mitotic phase
○ Nuclear fission : Chromosomes move to the anode
○ Cytoplasmic cleavage : Two cytoplasm split into two daughter cells
③ Cell fusion experiment
Cell cycle state before fusion | State of the nucleus after fusion | ||
---|---|---|---|
Cell A | Cell B | Nuclear A | Nuclear B |
S group | G1 | DNA replication normal progress | DNA replication starts immediately |
S group | G2 | DNA replication normal progress | Stay in G2 Cleavage after DNA replication of A ends |
M | G1 | Split | Chromosome prematurely condensed |
M | G2 | Split | Chromosome prematurely condensed |
G1 | G2 | Proceed normal to S | Normal flight to M |
○ S-phase cells contain substances that promote the transfer of G1-core nuclei to S-phase.
○ S phase cells contain substances that inhibit the transfer of G2 phase nuclei to M phase.
○ In G2 cells, there is no substance that promotes the transfer of G1 nuclei to S groups.
○ Mitosis-inducing factor in M-phase cells
⑶ mitosis = nuclear fission (once) + cytoplasm
① Green fluorescent protein (GFP) : Jellyfish-derived protein widely used as a report protein that indicates the location and extent of intracellular gene expression.
② Prophase : 46 chromosomes, 92 sister chromosomes / cell
○ Phosphorus disappearance, dye dye condensation, chromosome formation
○ Kohesine binds to the sister dye powders, but the cohesins in the parts other than the isotope melt.
○ Generation of mitotic spindles from centrosomes
③ prometaphase (prometaphase) : 46 chromosomes, 92 sister chromosomes / cell
○ Nuclear film loss : prometaphase is a post-nucleus phase
○ Spinal cord microtubule reaches chromosome
○ The nuclear membrane must be lost before the spindle can reach the microtubules
○ Chromosome transfer
○ Spinach must reach microtubule to move chromosome
④ Metaphase : 46 chromosomes, 92 sister chromosomes / cell
○ The spindle is completely complete
○ All the chromosomes are arranged on the equatorial plate of cells
○ Isotopes of two sister chromosomes point to opposite poles
⑤ Anaphase : 92 chromosomes, 92 sister chromosome / cell
○ Isotopic Separation by Seperase
○ Sister chromatids move to opposite poles in a dinein on a centrifugal spindle
○ Centroid : Due to tubulin characteristics, micro-tubule decomposition occurs in the negative electrode and rapid decomposition of dynein occurs in the positive electrode.
○ As the length of the polar spindle continues to grow, the cells elongate
⑥ Telophase : 92 chromosomes, 92 sister chromosome / cell
○ Cell elongation continues
○ Nucleation is formed around the chromosome at each pole → nucleation
○ Phosphorus Remodeling, Spinal Cord Loss
○ Chromosomes are released and become dye yarns
⑦ Cytokinesis : Cellular fission occurs independently of fission
⑧ End of cell division : 46 chromosomes, 46 sister chromosome / cell
○ Cytoplasm split in half
○ Plant : Fibrous cell plate formation between two daughter cells, vesicles move along phragmoplast
○ Phragmoplast : Consists of microtubules, microfibers, and vesicles
○ Animal : Condensation of microfilament rings between the two daughter cells → cleavage furrow, outside → cytoplasm separation
⑷ meiosis = 1st meiosis + 2nd meiosis (mitosis of haploid)
① Prophase Ⅰ : 46 chromosomes, 92 sister chromosomes / cell
○ 1st. Chromosomes condense and become denser, nuclear membranes disappear

○ In some organisms the nuclear membrane is reshaped, but not in humans
○ Each nucleus becomes a haploid (n)
⑤ Termination of Cell I : 23 chromosomes, 46 sister chromosome / cell
⑥ Prophase II : 23 chromosomes, 46 sister chromosome / cell
○ Second meiosis begins without an interval (chromosome replication, etc.).
○ Chromosomes condense and become dense
○ If a nuclear film is formed, it disappears again
⑦ Medium phase II : 23 chromosomes, 46 sister chromosome / cell
○ Chromosome dyad is arranged on the equator.
⑧ Anaphase II : 46 chromosomes, 46 sister chromosome / cell
○ Sister Chromosome Separated.
○ A pair of homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles.
⑨ Late phase II : 46 chromosomes, 46 sister chromosome / cell
○ After the chromosome moves to each pole, a nuclear membrane is formed around the chromosome
⑩ Termination of Cell II : 23 chromosomes, 23 sister chromosome / cell
⑪ Crossing over
○ Cross : Partial gene exchange between homologous chromosomes results in the formation of new forms of chromosomes
○ Crossing
○ Crossover rate : Classical genetics assumes that the distance between genes is proportional to the probability of their intersection..
○ About 30 crossovers occur in one meiosis.
⑫ Random sort : Alignment and isolation of each pair of homologous chromosomes during the first meiosis is independent, resulting in a variety of germ cells
⑬ Diversity of Genetic Information in Individuals (Human)
○ Chromosome Diversity of Germ Cells Resulting from First Meimeiosis : 223 + cross
○ Chromosome Diversity in Fertilized Eggs : (223 + cross) × (223 + cross)
3. Cell cycle regulation
⑴ Regulatory Proteins Control Cleavage
① Cyclin : The amount continues to change throughout the cell cycle, and at the end of each phase all associated cyclins are degraded
○ Degraded by Proteasome
② Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) : The amount is constant during the cell cycle, and the activity varies depending on the amount of cyclin
③ M-phase promoting factor (MPF)
○ Collectively known as CDK1 and cyclin B, are present in the cytoplasm of dividing mammalian cells
○ Role : Chromosome condensation, spindle elongation, nuclear membrane collapse
○ Spinal cord binding to isotope → APF activity → MPF inhibition
④ CDC : Substances that play an MPF role in yeast
⑤ Late phase promoter (APC, anaphase promoting complex)
○ APC (anaphase promoting complex) activity at the end of cell division → securin inhibition → seperase promotion
○ MPF Suppresses When APC Is Enabled
○ Important for tumor suppression. 5-⑷-③)
⑵ checkpoint (checkpoint)
① Cell cycle progression must pass checkpoint
② Checkpoint : 5 items in total
③ G1 checkpoint : Point to proceed to S stage
○ Factor : Necessity of cell division, growth factor, cell size, sufficient nutrients, damaged DNA

○ Stay in G0 state, which does not divide unless it passes this point
○ Example : Nerves, muscles
④ G1-S boundary
○ Mechanism : CDK2, cyclin E

○ 2nd-2nd. GTP → Raf
○ 2nd-3rd. Raf → MEK
○ 2nd-4th. MEK → MAP kinase
○ 2nd-5th. MAP kinase moves inside the nucleus
③ 3rd. Cyclin D, Cyclin E Synthesis
○ 3rd-1st. MAP kinase → myc
○ 3rd-2nd. myc → cyclin D, cyclin E gene transcription
⑷ G1 checkpoint mechanism : S-phase metastasis inhibition, p53 is mainly involved
Reference. Because G1 is the beginning of every cell cycle, there are many inhibitory mechanisms
① 1st. UV → p53 removes mdm protein and becomes p21
② 2nd-1st. p21 inhibits S-phase transfer by inhibiting CDK4-cyclin D and CDK2-cyclin E (e.g., E2F Suppression)
③ 2nd-2nd. If cell damage is severe, p21 activates Bax → releases cytochrome C into the cytoplasm → Caspase → cell death
○ Cytochrome C : Involved in mitochondria electron transport system to be evolutionarily conserved, located in the interlumen space, attached to the inner membrane
⑸ S checkpoint mechanism
① 1st. Increased concentrations of E2F, CDK4-cycline D and CDK2-cycline E, transcription factors
② 2nd. Rb and E2F binding to cyclin-CDK complex inactivation
○ Rb Protein : E2F Suppression
③ 3rd. Cyclin-CDK uses 2ATP → Rb phosphorylation
④ 4th. Rb is phosphorylated to debond with E2F
⑤ 5th. E2F moves to the nucleus → promotes cyclin A production
⑥ 6th. CDK2-cycline A binding → acts as a transcription factor to complete S phase and cyclin B gene transcription
⑹ G2 checkpoint mechanism (yeast)
① 1st. Combination of CDK1 with Cyclin B (M Cyclin) to form an inactive cyclin-CDK complex
② 2nd. Cyclin-CDK complex is phosphorylated by WEE1 and inhibited
③ 3rd. Phosphorylated by CDK activating kinase (CAK) to activate but not active by WEE1

③ Malignant tumor : Involvement of surrounding tissues during cancer (cancer)
④ Transition : When cancer cells come out and create new tumors elsewhere (cancer)
⑤ Normal cell → Potential tumor cell (divided even without signal) → Benign tumor → Malignant tumor → Metastasis
⑵ Cancer cell characteristics
① Normal cells
○ Divide by signal, survive until needed

5. The occurrence of cancer
⑴ About 80 to 90% of all cancers are caused by lifestyle and environmental factors
⑵ Occurrence of mutation
① Spontaneous mutation
○ Tautomerization : Formation of bonds with other bases by isomer formation
○ Deamino Process
○ Structure by Nucleotide Type
○ Amino base : Base with only amino group (-NH2), A, C
○ Keto base : Bases with ketone groups (C = O), T, G, U, I
○ Deamination of Cytosine (C) : Deamination of C base, change to uracil (U), change to thymine (T), finally G≡C becomes A = T
○ Deamination of Adenine (A) : Deamination of base A, change to hypoxanthine, and change to inosinic acid result in A = T finally becoming G≡C
○ Depurinization : Purine and carbon backbones are relatively weak
○ Repeat sequence (example : CAG repeats and Huntington’s disease)
○ Mistakes in the Cloning Process : The mutation rate during DNA replication of Escherichia coli and eukaryotes is similar to 1/1010 nucleotide
○ Statements that mutations are more or less frequent when comparing two populations A and B
② Induction mutation
○ DNA Modifiers
○ Nitrous acid : Induction of Deamination
○ Aflatoxin : Fungal Toxin → G-base Modified → Liver Cancer
○ Alkylating agent : Substances that donate CH3 or CH3CH2 to amino groups or keto groups of nucleotides. Ethyl methyl sulfonate (EMS) is typical
○ 2-AP (2-amino purine) : Base pair formation with thymine or cytosine
○ 5-BU (5-bromouracil) : Base pairing with thymine analogue, adenine or guanine
○ Hydroxylamine : Hydroxyl group added to cytosine, cytosine added with hydroxyl group binds to adenine
○ N-ethyl N-nitrosourea (ENU) : Random point mutation
○ Insert material
○ Acridine orange, EtBr : Flat ring molecule, insert mutation between base pairs
○ Benzopyrene : Insertion between base pair of DNA main groove → lung cancer
○ MCA (methylcholanthrene) : Chemical mutagen
○ UV irradiation : Formation of pyrimidine dimers → Deletion of mutations during replication → Skin cancer development
○ Radiation : Free radicals produced by radiation attack base or sugar-phosphate backbones
③ Transposon, retrotranspozone
⑶ DNA correction and repair
⑷ Point mutation : Gene mutation
① Base substitution mutations : Mutations due to base replacement of genes
○ Silent mutation : Even if the base is replaced by the redundancy of the genetic code, there is no difference in phenotype with the same amino acid code..
○ Missense mutation (mistake mutation) : Change to another amino acid code due to alternative base
○ Nonsense Mutations (Stop Mutations) : Loss of meaning (shortened length) due to password being changed to a stop codon
○ Neutral mutation : Change to amino acids of similar nature
○ Termination codons can be translated into significant amino acids for longer lengths
② Classification of Base Substitution Mutants
○ Transition mutations : Mutations in which purine becomes another purine, pyrimidine becomes another pyrimidine
○ Transversion mutations : Mutations in which purine is pyrimidine and pyrimidine is purine
○ Base mutations are relatively less likely to change amino acids and are more likely to return to the same site mutation.
③ Frame mutation : Mutations that shift the translation frame by base deletion or insertion of genes
④ Return mutation : Mutant individuals produce normal progeny by adding the same mutagen; almost all substitution mutations are possible
⑸ Chromosomal mutations
① Deletion
○ Deletion loop : Use for Gene Mapping
○ Near-field genes show good simultaneous deletion
② Duplication
○ Compensation loop
③ Inversion
○ Unilateral inversion (paracentric inversion) : Normal inversion 50%, non-homologous 25%, double-homologous 25%
○ Co-intrinsic inversion (pericentric inversion) : Normal 100%
④ Translocation
○ Mutual translocation : Genetic information exchange between two chromosomes, forming cross-shaped translocation
○ Holiday model
○ Example : 8 → 14
○ Emergency call : One chromosome transfers genetic information one way to another
○ Example 1. Robertsonian translocation : Causes Familial Down Syndrome
○ 1st. Linking Jang 14 and Jang 21 : (14, 14), (21, 21) → (14, 14-21), (21, ×)
Reference. In 14-21 the isotope comes from 14, so it behaves like 14
○ 2nd. 14 Arms and 21 Arms
○ 3rd. Germ cells : (14, 21) (14, ×) (14-21, 21) (14-21, ×)
○ 4th. Reproductive outcome with normal germ cells (14, 21)
○ (14, 14), (21, 21) : Normal, 25%
○ (14, 14), (21, ×) : Miscarriage, 25%
○ (14, 14-21), (21, 21) : Familial Down Syndrome, Unlike Normal Down Syndrome
○ (14, 14-21), (21, x) : Bleed, 25%
○ Example 2. Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) : Mutual translocation
○ abl gene : Encoding Tyrosine Kinase
○ bcr gene : High activity due to promoter
○ Philadelphia chromosome : Recombinant chromosome with abl and bcr genes
⑹ Chromosome nondisjunction
① Chromosome nondisjunction (nondisjunction) : Causes autosomal and sex chromosomal aneuploidy
○ Division I nondisjunction : (n + 1, n + 1, n-1, n-1), no normal germ cells, no duplication of identical genes in germ cells
○ Division II nondisjunction : (n + 1, n-1, n, n), 50% normal germ cells, identical gene duplication in n + 1 germ cells
② Autosomal Dimerity : One or two chromosomes more or less
○ Chromosome : Loss of a pair of homologous chromosomes, prenatal implantation
○ Monosomy : Loss of 1 chromosome, lethal embryo
○ Trisomy : Embryo or Fetal Death
○ Patau syndrome (trisomy 13)
○ Edward syndrome (trisomy 18)
○ Down syndrome (trisomy 21, Down syndrome) : 1/750 births, characteristic facial structure, mental disorders, short kidneys, cardiac defects, short lifespan, vulnerability to respiratory illness, higher in maternal age
○ Haplo Ⅳ : Chromosome deletion 4 in Drosophila
③ Sex Chromosome Dimer : More or less one or two chromosomes, no significant effect, normal lifespan
○ Reason : Because the Y chromosome is less informative, only one X chromosome is active (the rest of the constituents are formed).
○ XXX (3X syndrome) : 1/1000 births, high frequency of mental disorders, phenotype normal, quasi-normal
○ XYY (2Y syndrome) : 1/2000 births, tendency to be tall, phenotype is normal, mild mental disorders, shoplifting
○ XXY (Klinefelter syndrome) : 1/2000 birth, male, tall, sexual immature, dwarf testicles, infertility, mental disorders
○ XO (Turner Syndrome) : 1/5000 birth, 99% natural abortion, dwarf, sexual incomplete maturity
④ Drainage : Mutations in which the number of chromosomes increases in multiples of n
○ autopolyploidy (autopolyploidy) : 2n (plant) individuals become 4n individuals and then breed 2n species to create 3n objects
○ Colchicine : Spindle polymerization inhibitors bind to tubulin dimers and stop cell division in the middle phase
○ Often, autopolyploidy is made using colchicine for breeding purposes.
○ Taxol : Spinach depolymerization inhibitor used as anticancer agent
○ Heteroploidy (heteroploidy, diploidy, allopolyploidy) : (Plant) individuals by breeding between nearby species
○ Mechanism of evolution
○ 1st. Create AB object between AA and BB objects
○ 2nd. If the AB entity is an odd chromosome, there is no fertility, so the fertility can be restored, ie AABB production
○ 3rd. Create AABB objects that can breed between AABB and AABB objects
○ Example 1. Seedless Watermelon (3n)
○ Example 2. Triploid (3n) is 1% to 3% of total pregnancy → most of them cannot give birth and cannot survive
⑺ Cell Cycle Regulatory Genes and Cancer
① Proto-oncogenes (proto-oncogenes)
○ Genes that regulate the cell cycle often encode growth factors
○ Example 1. Growth factor or its receptor protein gene (HER2 of ovarian cancer / breast cancer)
○ Example 2. Ras (rat sarooma)
○ Activated by tyrosine kinase
○ Involved in signal transduction pathway by acting as GPCR
○ GTpase activating protein loss → Ras overactivity
○ Example 3. c-myc
○ Recombination → expression ↑ → lymphoma development on the chromosome that the c-myc gene encodes the antibody gene
○ Example 4. abl-bcr (note. 5-⑵-①)
○ Example 5. c-erbB, c-mx, c-kit, RARa, Eb, cyclin, CDK 2, 4
○ Tumor genes correspond to accelerators
○ Dominant expression : Mutation on one homologous chromosome results in mutation symptoms
② Oncogene : DNA changes due to mutations in the oncogenes
○ Mutations in tumor genes promote excessive cell division even without growth factors
○ 1st. DNA base mutants are highly active due to structural or functional changes of the coding protein
○ 2nd. Overexpression by amplification or rearrangement of genes
○ Example 1. Ras gene
○ Mutations in genes can lead to the development of cancer cells
○ Growth Factor Independent Cleavage
③ Tumor suppressor gene
○ Protein genes that stop cell division or repair damaged DNA at cell cycle checkpoints
○ Recessive expression : Mutation symptoms must be mutated to all homologous chromosomes
○ Example 1. BRCA2 gene
○ Located on chromosome 13, coding for a protein involved in repairing DNA damage
○ Related to Breast Cancer
○ Example 2. p53 gene : Act throughout the cell cycle,
○ p21 transcription increase
○ Associated with the expression of specific miRNAs that inhibit cell division
○ Activation of gene expression directly involved in DNA repair
○ Inhibition of Cyclin-CDK Complex on DNA Damage
○ Can induce apoptosis
○ Example 3. pRb1 : Acts on G1, inhibits E2F
○ Example 4. bcl2 : Bax Suppression
○ Example 5. APC (Note. 3-⑴)
○ Example 6. RB Protein : Substances that prevent the cell cycle from progressing
④ Multiple collision model
○ Benign tumor when the primary tumor gene is mutated to normal cells (≠ cancer)
○ Malignant tumor when tumor suppressor gene is mutated in both maternal and paternal tumors (= cancer)
○ At least 5-6 independent mutations are required in a cell : 10 ~ 20 years
⑤ Cancer outbreaks require multiple mutations
○ Benign tumors must accumulate many mutations in order to progress to cancer (∴ frequent in epithelial tissues with frequent cell division)
○ Angiogenesis : Tumors give you blood.
○ Loss of contact and anchorage dependence : Cells are layered, cancer cells can move to other locations
○ Loss of density-dependent inhibition
○ Immortalization : Telomerase activation does not limit cell division.
○ Mutations are inherited, most mutations are produced during the lifetime of the person
⑻ Immortalization Mechanisms of Cancer Cells
① Telomerace presence
② Protects telomere DNA at the end of chromosome and continues to divide more than 50 times normal cells
⑼ Colorectal cancer, colorectal cancer : One of the most cancers
① APC Tumor Suppressor Gene Defects : Polyp formation (polyp) due to excessive epithelial cell proliferation (polar, loss of contact inhibition)
○ Colorectal cancer is often found by mutations in a gene called the family adenoma polyp (APC)
○ APC Gene Mutations Are Recessive
② Ras Tumor Gene : Cell proliferation without signal, production of small benign tumors (class II adenoma, adenoma)
○ Growth factor-independent division of cancer is mostly due to Ras
③ Tumor Suppressor Gene DCC (deleted in colon cancer)
④ Tumor suppressor gene p53 deletion : Failure of G1/S identification points related to DNA damage, rapid accumulation of mutations, generation of malignancies
⑤ Deletion of the Antitransduction Gene : Metastasis, infiltration into other organs
⑥ Order is not important and cancer is generated if conditions are met
6. Cancer discovery and treatment
⑴ Discovery method
① Cancer antigen 125 (CA125)
○ Amino acid sequence of 22,000aa, also known as mucin 16 or MUC 16
○ Cellular glycoprotein of epithelial cancer with tumor antigen (CA125) recognized by monoclonal antibody, OC-125 (ovarian cancer antibody)
○ Normal value of CA 125 in serum : Less than 35U / ml
○ Therapeutic Effect of Ovarian Cancer, the Only Tumor Marker in Early Detection of Relapse
○ Prognostic Determination and Correlation with Size, Stage, and Survival of Ovarian Cancer.
○ CA125 may also increase in ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, and gastrointestinal cancer, so the screening value is low
② Biopsy : Surgically harvesting cells or tissues
○ Injection biopsy : With a needle
○ Laparoscopic : Illuminator, camera, small knife surgical tool
③ X-ray diagnostics
○ Common tumor : 108 cells
○ Palpation tumor (10 mm) : 109 cells
○ Death tumor (10 cm) : 1012 cells
⑵ How to treat
① Local tumors can be removed by surgery.
② Chemotherapy : Chemicals that kill dividing cells (cancer drugs)
○ Cocktail Therapy : Use of various cell division inhibitory chemicals
○ Resistant cells : 1/100 million. 1000 resistant cells in palpable tumors
○ Side effects of killing normally dividing cells (all cells, bone marrow, stomach wall) : Hair loss, vomiting, diarrhea
③ Radiation therapy : Use high energy radiation
○ Death of cancer cells by damaging DNA (BRCA2, p53)
○ Usually used for nearby cancer
○ Typically 10-20 radiation treatments after surgical removal of the tumor
○ Normal cells → normal cell division (by p53, DNA repair) or apoptosis
