10-3 Regulating the Cell Cycle
Controls on Cell Division
Controls on Cell Division
Experiments show that normal cells will reproduce
until they come into contact with other cells:
•When cells come into contact with other cells,
they stop growing.
•cell growth and division can be turned on and off.

Cell Cycle Regulators
How is the cell cycle regulated?
– Cyclins regulate the timing of the cell
cycle in eukaryotic cells.

Cell Cycle Regulators
Internal Regulators
Allow the cell cycle to proceed only when certain
processes have happened inside the cell.
Example: p53 Gene that regulates the passage
into mitosis

Cell Cycle Regulators
External Regulators
•Proteins that respond to events outside the cell.
•Direct cells to speed up or slow down the cell
cycle.

Uncontrolled Cell Growth
Uncontrolled Cell Growth
Cancer is a disorder in which some of the body's own
cells lose the ability to control growth.
How are cancer cells different from other cells?
– Cancer cells do not respond to the signals that
regulate the growth of most cells.

10-3 Regulating the Cell Cycle
Uncontrolled Cell Growth
Cancer cells:
– divide uncontrollably
– form masses of cells: tumors
– Tumors damage the surrounding tissues.
Cancer cells may break loose from tumors and
spread throughout the body, disrupting normal
activities and causing serious medical problems or
even death.

will not begin mitosis until
a. it becomes too large.
b. the cell’s growth is stimulated.
c. it is in physical contact with other cells.
d. all its chromosomes have been replicated.
