Agents Affect The Proto-Oncogenes

There are several agents are present in the world that can lead to the Tumorigenesis process. Some occur due to the intake of some chemicals. On the other hand, some occur automatically. This means, in the human body change in the genetic structure can lead to the Tumorigenesis process. This means the change in the genes more specifically on Proto-Oncogenes leads to cancer. So, the agents can be divided into two categories.

  • Foreign Agent or Chemical Agent: These are the agent that is not present in the human body. These agents come from the outside of the body. Sometimes, the human body intakes these chemicals due to a limited time of pleasure. Or sometimes, they infected the body without the need for the body. Sometimes, people intake Alcohol, tobacco, etc. These lead to changes in their genetic structure. Excessive intake of these chemicals will change the genetic structure. And the Proto-Oncogenes become Oncogenes. Sometimes UV Rays or Virus makes changes in the genetic structure. This also causes cancer.
  • Internal Agent or Non-Chemical Agent: These are the factors or the agents that come with time. This means the human body, doesn’t intake them for their pleasure. Age is one of the agents or factors. Due to age, some changes arise in the body. Mainly these changes can be observed in the woman’s body. So, in any special location, the genetic structure might get changed. This change leads to cancer. Sometimes, during the reproduction process when the sperm & egg cells merge. Then due to some genetic structural problem, Oncogenes might get arise in the body of the baby. So, these are agents or factors where there is no control of a human.

Cancer Genes

The human body is a hub of a complex mechanism. Every organ in the body is associated with cell interactions. Like every machine gets affected by some problems, the human body is not different from that. There are several diseases are present in the world. These are diseases that can affect the process of normal body functions. Human civilization has seen many pandemic disease waves. From Spanish flu to the newest Corona pandemic. These diseases infect the human body & destroy their work. But one most significant disease is still not yet resolved nor has any vaccine. This disease is known as Tumorigenesis.

What Is Tumorigenesis?

Tumorigenesis is the process of developing a tumor in the human body. The tumor is an abnormal body cell that is immortal. These cells can grow continuously. Normal cells have a proper limit to growth. But these types of cells don’t have a limit to growth. So, they can able to grow continuously & as they don’t die, they will grow in an unstoppable manner. In this way, these cells develop a cell clot. This cell clot is known as the Tumor. And this overall process is known as Tumorigenesis....

What are Proto-Oncogenes & Oncogenes?

Genes are associated with the Tumorigenesis process. Genes help to develop the proteins that are used to regulate the growth or death of any cells. Now, if these genes are affected then, there will be a problem in protein function. But it should be understood that every cell in our body has genes. From the cells in the Liver to the cells of the Nervous system (Neurons) all of them have the same genes present in them. This means the cells in the Liver has the gene that regulates the neurotransmission process. And the Neurons have the genes to grow like Liver cells. But these genes are disabled in these areas....

Importance of Genes in Tumorigenesis Process

Genes are the most important element in a creature’s body. Not only humans or animals, but genes act as their special feature in the plant body also. So, their influence can’t be defined with some words. Helping them in the inheritance process to the evolution process, genes are the key factor. It can help us in the protein synthesis process. Also, it can lead to a harmful Tumorigenesis process. Changes in genetic structure will lead to Tumorigenesis or cancer. So, genes are the root of this disease. From the Oncogenes the Tumorigenesis process arises. But there is no way to identify the particular gene that becomes the Oncogenes. Also, Oncogenes can affect other genes in the body. So, their importance is great....

Types of Genes Involved in Tumorigenesis

The human body works on two basic things. One is survival & another is death. The ultimate result of every survival body is to be dead. But in the Tumorigenesis process, there is no death system is present. So, the cancerous cell is like to live all the time. For the survival process of any cell, there are two specific genes are present. On the other hand, to regulate the death of the cell, there are also two specific cells present. These four genes play their role in the Tumorigenesis process....

Genes Involved in  Death of Cell

Apoptotic Genes: These are the genes that are responsible for the death of the cells. When there is no longer a need for an existing cell, these genes start working. These genes produce a protein that destroys the existence of the cell. Hence, this gene is used to remove old incapable cells. The cancerous cells also have these genes. But they are used for their benefit. Anti-Apoptotic Genes: These are the genes that act opposite to the Apoptotic genes. This means these genes can provide a status to the cell as immortal. This means when there is a need to live longer the cell dies to some parameter in the body, and then this gene gets activated. When the cell is dividing this gene is in active form. So that the cell will not die unusually. In the Tumorigenesis process, this gene has a much influence....

Genes Involvement in Tumorigenesis

After getting the details of the working principle of Proliferating Genes, it is time to know some of the prominent examples of the genes that have their major role in the Tumorigenesis process. These are the genes that belong to the above categories. But depending upon their location, the name of these genes is different from each other. As they belong to another group of genes. But their work is the same. And they all can be categorized into different gene groups....
