Decrease transcription of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors and decrease the likelihood of apoptosis. o c. Increase transcription of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors and increase the likelihood of apoptosis. o d. Decrease transcription of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors and increase the likelihood of apoptosis.

a. A typical cellular response of a mammary epithelial cell to EGF signal is proliferation. the Kd for the interaction between EGF and its receptor is 1x10^-10 M. Lets imagine that at least 25% of the receptors on a normal cell must be engaged by EGD in order to trigger the cellular proliferation response. What minimum concentration of EGF is required to reduce cell proliferation? (Show calculation). b. Mammary epithelial cancer cells have amplified levels of EGF receptors on their surface. If such a cell has 1000 EGF receptors, as compared to 200 receptors on a normal cell, what minimum concentration of EGF is required to induce cell proliferation in the cancer cell? [Show calculation]. Note that the same number of receptors (not percentage of receptors) must be activated to promote proliferation in normal cells and cancer cell. c. The ambient (unstimulated) concentration of EGF in mammary epithelial tissue is 1x10^-11 M. Will this level of EGF stimulate proliferation in normal…
Overexpression of the Myc protein is a common feature of many types of cancer cells, contributing to their excessive cell growth and proliferation. By contrast, when Myc is overexpressed in most normal cells, the result is not excessive proliferation, but cell-cycle arrest or apoptosis.Which one of the following statements provides the most likely explanation for why overexpression of Myc can have such different outcomes in normal cells and in cancer cells? A. Normal cells contain checks and balances that prevent Myc-induced proliferation. B. In normal cells, Myc protein acts as a mediator in cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. C. The target protein for Myc-induced proliferation is missing from most normal cells. D. In normal cells, when Myc is overexpressed, the excess Myc protein precipitates.
In addition, when ARF is artificially expressed in normal cells, a rapid increase in p53 levels is observed. Studies have demonstrated that ARF, when expressed, is associated with Mdm2. When associated, the two proteins display a particular pattern of localization restricted to the nucleolus. Suggest a mechanism by which ARF leads to p53 build-up.
