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
