Tumour Genotype and Response to Cytotoxic Gene Therapy

  • Chapter
Manufacturing of Gene Therapeutics

Abstract

The development of cancer is a multifactorial process and the result of alterations that affect different cellular machineries resulting ultimately in deregulated proliferation. The rapid progress in elucidating the participating signalling pathways involved in tumourigenesis made clear that the direct or indirect disturbance of both cell cycle regulation and the cellular death programmes, i.e. apoptosis, are the major players determining the switch from normal to malignant growth. When the damage is done and a tumour has developed, the further disruption of cell growth and apoptosis control is influenced by a wide variety of factors including the factors regulating genetic and chromosomal stability (e.g. DNA repair pathways and cell cycle checkpoints) and the tumour cell microenvironment, e.g. cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions and angiogenesis.
