TUMOR CELL
GENERAL FEATURE OF A TUMOR CELL The hallmarks of cancer comprise six biological capabilities acquired during the multistep development of human tumors (Hanahan és Weinberg 2000)
CELL KINETICS
Doubling time of the tumor volume (Td) Time of the Cell cycle (Tc): Tc= Ts / Li Ts: S phase Li: labeling index (proportoin of cells in S phase) Growth fraction(GF): GF=P / (P+Q’) P: number of the mitotic cells Q: number of the cells in interphase Rate of the cell loss ( ): = 1-Tpd / Td Tpd= *Ts/Li Tpd: Potential tumor volume doubling time Td: tumor volume doubling time Lymphoma 48 h Lung cancer 108 h Usually h Lymphoma 4 weeks Colon adenoma 90 weeks Usually days
Volume of the tumor tissue ~10 divisions =*1000 cell number increase (2 10 =1024) ~20 divisions= 10 6 cells = 1 mg= 1 mm 3 ~30 divisions= 10 9 cells = 1 g= 1 cm 3 ~40 divisions= cells = 1 kg 1 tumor cell ~30-33,25 division =1-10 cm 3 Time of the clinical symptomes / diagnosis ~27 division = 0.1cm 3 Earliest time of diagnosis (Visualisation) ~40 division = cell Fatal Human total cell number: 3.72 ×
BIOLOGY OF THE TUMORPROGRESSION
Exogen and endogen factors Genom instability Activation of the oncogenes Inactivation of tumorsuppressors Local and systemic factors inhibitionacceleration Growth rate Ectopic survival capacity Invasivity De- d ifferentation Tumorigenesis Epithelial cell Hiperplastic adenoma Displatic Carcinoma in situ Invasive carcinoma Metastasis
Important steps of tumor progression Transformation of the microenvironment: stromal cells, ECM components, proteolytic degradation Induction of the angiogenesis (w/o max tumor size is 2mm) Escaping from immune-mediated rejection Formation of metastasis
MICROENVIRONMENT – STROMAL CELLS Cell types: fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial cells, lymphocytes, macrophages Function: host defence ! MALT - B cell helps to maintain lymphomas ! Growth factors are released by the stromal cells (VEGF - angiogenesis)
Macrophage Cancer cell migration is controlled by paracrine loop THE INVASIVE MICROENVIRONMENT Macrophage Blood vessel
ANGIOGENESIS Hypoxia formation of new vessels, proliferation of the endothelial cells Types: vessels arteriovenous shunts „dead end” /lack of smooth muscle, weak vessel wall, irregular shape(insuficient endothelial cell and basement membrane layers)/ sinuses /wall is formed by tumor cells/ Venous circulation VEGF induces angiogenesis increases permeability Lack of lymphatic vessels OEDEMA, decresed blood flow Inhibition of the VEGF pathway is a potential therapeutical tool
Strategies that tumors use to escape from immune-mediated rejection are: To decrease the antigen expression To inhibit the immune-reactive cells: degrade the chemoattractans decrease their cell adhesion inhibite their phagocytotic activity

CELL ADHESION Significant change in cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions Molecules: selectins integrins immunoglobulin superfamily cadherins catenins
SELECTINS Cell-cel junctions Types: E- endothelial cells P- trombocytes L- leukocytes Extracellular C-lectin domain Ca 2+ dependent anchorage It binds Sialyl-Le x carbohydrates „ROLLING” ! Tumor cells express increased amount of sialil-Le x or -Le a
INTEGRINS Transmembrane receptors Form cell-ECM interaction 8 , 14 subunites ~20 heterodimer Ca 2+, Mg 2+ dependent anchorage „RGD” sequence is the specific substrate Signalling: outside-in – signalling inside-out – adhesion Increased expression of integrins promotes angiogenesis and helps to bind MMPs at the cell surface EXTRAVASATION, ATTACHMENT D G R

Molecular partners of the integrins Cytoskeletal components: actinin, talin,F- actin, filamin Adaptors: rack 1, ICAP-1 Calcium binding proteins: CIB, calreticulin Protein kinases: pp125FAK, p59 ILK Membrane proteins: CD9, CD16,CD47… caveolin, urokinase-plazminogen-activator receptor Ligands in ECM: collagen, laminin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, osteopontin, elastin
IMMUNGLOBULIN SUPERFAMILY has 5 Ig-like domains at the extracellular region forms cell-cell junction interacts with integrins VCAM - 4 1, PECAM - v 3 takes essential part in extravasation ! ! Over expression of ICAM-1, MUC18 increased inavsion ! ! Down-regulation of VCAM-1 increased metastatic potential (faster detachment)
CADHERIN Is a transmembrane glycoprotein Forms homophyl cell-cell junctions Ca 2+ dependent anchorage Classical types: E- epithelial P- placenta N- neural, Intracellular part interacts with catenins to connect aktin filaments ! E-cadherin tumorsuppressor ! Increased expression of N-cadherin invasion ! N-cadherin cooperates with the FGF receptor lead to the up- modulation of MMP-9 „Cadherin Switch”
CATENIN Is an intracellular molecule Fixes cadherins to F-actin ! -catenin binds to the APC gene product ! colon and liver cancer increased cytoplasmic and nuclear localised beta-catenin correlates with invasion and poor prognosis. in melanoma increased cytoplasmic and nuclear beta- catenin is currently emerging as a marker for good prognosis
