In which of the following ways could signal transduction most probably be explored in research to treat cancer?
A) removal of serine/threonine phosphate acceptors from transduction pathways in colon pre-cancerous growths
B) alteration of protein kinases in cell cycle regulation in order to slow cancer growth
C) increase in calcium ion uptake into the cytoplasm in order to modulate the effects of environmental carcinogens
D) expansion of the role of transduction inhibitors in the cells before they give rise to cancer
E) increase in the concentration of phosphodiesterases in order to produce more AMP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alteration of protein kinases in cell cycle regulation could be a promising approach to slowing down cancer growth. Many cancer cells have altered kinase activity, leading to uncontrolled cell division. Inhibiting or modulating the activity of these kinases could be a useful strategy for cancer treatment. The other options in the answer choices either lack specificity or are less directly related to the mechanism of cancer growth.
