Viral Oncogenes and Cancer
• Cellular origin of viral oncogenes—
oncogenes carried by transforming
retroviruses are derived from cellular
genes
• oncogenes involved in cancer
development are aberrant versions of
normal cell genes that function in growth
control

Secreted Growth Factors
• C sis analogous to PDGF
PDGF / c-sis signal transduction

Growth factor receptors
•
•
•
•
erbB2 – EGFR /HER
Fms Colony stimulating factor r
Kit - stem cell growth factor receptor
All above are receptor tyrosine kinases
ErbB2
• Erb discovered in
avian erythroblastosis
• Homologous to EGF
receptors
• Truncated form
lacking part of
extracellular domain
• Permanent on-switch
Signalling through HER
• Depends on dimerisation
• Target for many drugs eg herceptin, iressa
• Effective anti-cancer therapies – watch space!

Src- linker protein
Ras family
•

•
•
•
•
H-ras, K-ras, N-ras
Encodes three small G-proteins
Activated by binding GTP
Inactivated by GTP hydrolysis
Mutant forms constitutively active
Active forms lead to cell growth

Homer’s Lessons
• "You tried your best and failed miserably. The
lesson is 'never try'". H Simpson
HIV and Kaposi Sarcoma
• Vascular tumour of spindle cells
• Associated with HIV infection and TH
activation
• Mediated through HHV8
• HHV8 results in increased cytokine
production and growth
• Angiogenic factors induced
HHV 8/ KSHV
• Bristling with subversive mechanisms
• Incorporates both growth factors and immune
regulatory molecules
• Emerges in the immune-suppressed host
