Question
Answer
Her-2 amplification/overexpression is seen in 20? of what type of carcinoma   breast  
🗑
Herceptin is an anti-______ humanized monoclonal antibody   Her2  
🗑
what are the two major kinds of viral oncogenes   integration of proto-oncogene (RNA retrovirus) and True endogenous oncogenes (DNA viruses)  
🗑
Are retrovirus proto-oncogenes more common in animals or humans   animals  
🗑
what is an example of a viral oncogene that causes human cancer   HPV  
🗑
How does HPV cause cervical cancer   E6: inactivates p53 and E7: inactivates RB both are tumor suppressor genes  
🗑
what is the "two hit" tumor suppressor gene hypothesis   both alleles of a tumor suppressor gene must be inactivated in order to achieve the "cancer phenotype"  
🗑
what is possibly the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer   p53 (nuclear phosphoprotein with transcriptional regulatory function)  
🗑
How does mutant p53 protein differ from the wild type   wild type does not have a high level of expression and has a short half life while the mutant is inactive and has a longer half life  
🗑
what are the main cancer related functions of p53   Regulation of cell cycle, regulation of apoptosis, and regulation of DNA repair  
🗑
where does p53 regulate the cell cycle   stops at the G1 stage before it moves to S stage  
🗑
Does p53 mutations result directly in cancer   not usually but does allow cancer causing genetic changes to occur or accumulate  
🗑
What is the function of the NER pathway   removes a variety of DNA base damages induced by UV irradiation and Chemicals  
🗑
what is xeroderma pigmentosum   an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by defects in the NER pathway  
🗑
Xeroderma pigmentosum is characterized by defects in what pathway   NER pathway  
🗑
what does NER stand for?   Nucleotide excision repair  
🗑
what effect does UV irradiation have on DNA   UV irradiation causes the formation of chemical cross links between adjacent pyrimidine bases in DNA (C and T)  
🗑
When UV causes the formation of chemical cross links between bases C and T what is more mutagenic? DNA base C or T   C  
🗑
In NER deficient cells non-repaired dimers lead to what type of mutation during DNA synthesis   Missense  
🗑
How far past the skin does UV radiation penetrate?   UV radiation does not penetrate past the skin  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
