QUESTION 10 Which of the following is NOT a current cancer treatment? A. chemotherapy B. radiation therapy C. eating peanut butter D. surgery E. immunotherapy QUESTION 11 Diseases in humans that have a clinical presentation of severe and extensive blistering of the skin can result from defects in many (or any) components of desmosomes and hemidesmosomes or even cytoskeletal cross linkers. Which of the following proteins is unlikely to be defective in blistering diseases? A. plectin (linker of intermediate filaments to other IFs, microtubules and F-actin) B. keratin (an intermediate filament) C. myosin II (an F-actin binding protein and motor) D. desmoglein (a cadherin, a cell adhesion molecule)

Protooncogenes are a family of genes which when mutated pre-dispose to a cancer phenotype. Which of the following statements is incorrect? Mutations favour either over-expression or constitutive expression of the proto-oncogene. Germline (inherited) mutations of proto-oncogenes are rarely seen since they would likely be embryonically lethal. Require both alleles to be knocked out (homozygous loss). May arise when the proto-oncogene is translocated to a new chromosomal location where it is under the control of a new promoter (control element). Normally encode proteins involved in cell division (mitogenic cascade). Cilia and flagella in eukaryotes Show a typical 9 + 2 structure in cross section. Share a similar diameter and length. Are formed from intermediate filaments. Use the molecular motor myosin for locomotion. Are not surrounded by an extension of the plasma membrane.

9) Which of the following statements is false? A) EGF is a mitogen for epithelial cells B) HER2/NEU/EGFR is a growth factor receptor. C) Cadherin is a ligand for integrin D) MYC is a transcription factor whose target genes promote proliferation. E) SRC is a tyrosine kinase 10) Which of the following statements regarding signaling in normal cells and cancer cells, if any, is false? A) In normal cells, RTK transphosphorylation is strictly dependent on ligand binding. B) Cancer cells that have established several autocrine signaling loops have a poor prognosis, because these cells have enabled multiple independent mitogenic signal transduction pathways. C) Cancers cells that over-express RTK's can respond to tiny amounts of ligand, and in some instances signaling can even be ligand-independent. D) RTKs have a hydrophilic extracellular ectodomain, a hydrophobic transmembrane domain, and a hydrophilic cytoplasmic domain, which contains the catalytic portion of the protein. E) None of the above are false 11) Genomic DNA is damaged by ionizing radiation, with the most extensive form of damage being DNA double strand breaks. Double stranded breaks that are not accurately repaired frequently result in reciprocal chromosomal translocations. Given what you know about chromosomal rearrangements in cancers, which would you predict would be the most frequent ionizing radiation-induced cancer? A) leukemia B) breast cancer C) skin cancer D) lung cancer E) stomach cancer
