3. Mammalian Cell Cycle
What is the Mammalian cell cycle?
Mammalian ------- Cell--------Cycle
A series of events that take place in a cell leading to
its division and duplication (replication) that
produces two daughter cells.
5. Definition
Cells are the smallest living subunits of a multicellular
organism
Refer to as “Building Block of Life”
They are composed of protoplasm which contains
75% water, electrolytes, proteins, lipids and
carbohydrates
6. Composition of Cell
The cell has three (3) major parts
Cell Membrane
Semi-permeable structure
Barrier between cell and its environment
Nucleus
Houses DNA which contains chromosomes
Control Cell activities
7. Composition of Cell
Cytoplasm
Surround the nucleus
Support, protect and house organelles
Ribosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi Apparatus/Complex
Mitochondria
Lysosomes
Microtubules
Filaments
10. Fun Facts About cell
Your body contains around 32.7 trillion cells
The ovum is the largest cell in the body, and can be
seen without a microscope
Nerve cell in our arms and legs are at least 2 feet (60
cm) long.
Liver cells and osteoclasts often have more than one
nucleus while a mature red blood cell has NONE
Cells come only from the replication of existing cells.
12. Definition
The series of events that take place in a cell leading
to its division and duplication (replication) that
produces two daughter cells.
The mammalian cell cycle has two major portions;
Interphase
Mitotic Phase
13.
14. Interphase
Cell carries on its regular activities
It also gets ready to divide if stimulated to complete
the cell cycle
Interphase encompass three phases;
G1 Phase
S Phase
G2 Phase
15. Interphase
G1 Phase
The cell doubles its organelles
And synthesizes the necessary proteins for
DNA replication
What part of the
cell is this ?
16. Interphase
S Phase
So-called because DNA is Synthesized in this
phase
Each chromosome is composed of one DNA
double helix, which is equal to a chromatid.
S phase result in each chromosome having
two identical DNA double helix molecules.
17. Interphase
S Phase (Overview of DNA Synthesis)
The DNA double helix splits down the middle and
becomes two single strands (serving as templates)
DNA polymerase adds an A base wherever there is a
T, a C where there is a G, and so on until all of the
bases once again have partners.
Each DNA molecule formed consists of one old
strand and one newly assembled strand and
constitutes a chromatid of a chromosome.
19. Interphase
G2 Phase
The cell synthesizes proteins that will assist
cell division
At the end of G2 phase a major check-point
exist that controls the entry of the cell into
M-phase
20. Mitotic Phase
Also called the Cell division phase
Mitotic phase includes;
Mitosis (division of the nucleus)
Cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm)
21. Mitotic Phase
Mitosis
Divided into distinct steps that were originally
identified and characterized through light microscopic
observations of dividing cell.
These are termed;
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
22. Mitotic Phase
Mitosis
Prophase
The duplicated chromosomes condense while the
nuclear membrane breaks away
The centrioles move toward opposite poles of the cell
and organize the spindle fibers, which extend across
the equator of the cell
24. Mitotic Phase
Mitosis
Metaphase
Pairs of chromatids line up
along the equator of the cell, with
the sister chromatids attached to
opposite poles of the spindle.
The centromere of each pair is
attached to a spindle fiber
25. Mitotic Phase
Mitosis
Anaphase
At this phase, the sister
chromatids separate to form the
two sets of daughter chromosomes.
The spindle fibers contract and
slowly pulled each sister chromatid
towards the spindle pole it faces
26. Mitotic Phase
Mitosis
Telophase
The two daughter chromosomes arrive at the spindle
poles and decondense
A new nuclear envelope forms around each set of
chromosomes which forms the two new nuclei
29. Mammalian Cell Cycle
Most of the cells in our body are NOT replicating
at any given point of time
Instead, most cells in our body remain in the
G1/G2 phase for their entire lifetime
Specialized cell (muscle and nerve cells) rarely, if
ever, go through the cell cycle
Stem cells, are always immature and go through
the cell cycle repeatedly
List two of these cells
30. Mammalian Cell Cycle
The cell cycle is controlled by internal and
external signals
Name 3 Stimulus that can trigger this cycle
This process must be highly regulated so as to
ensure that the resulting cells are viable
31. Mammalian Cell Cycle
Control of progression through the cell cycle is
exerted at checkpoints.
The two most critical checkpoint are those that
occur near the end of G1 prior to S-phase and
those near the end of G2 prior to mitosis.
Any cell that did not successfully complete
mitosis undergo apoptosis at the restriction
checkpoint.
33. Definition
A branch of science concerned with the
action of ionizing radiation on biological
tissues and living organisms.
Ionizing radiation is any type of particle or
electromagnetic radiation that carries enough
energy to ionize or remove electrons from an
atom.
34. History
Research on the biological effects of ionizing
radiation started almost immediately after the
discovery by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895.
By 1910 several hundred cases of severe x-ray burns
(radiodermatitis), many leading to death, had been
reported.
Charles T. Dally, Thomas case
35. Radio sensitivity
The probability of a cell, tissue, or organ suffering an
effect per unit dose of radiation.
Radio sensitivity is highest in cells which are highly
mitotic or undifferentiated.
Name some cells that are radiosensitive?
Name some cells that are not radiosensitive?
36. Cell Irradiation
When exposed to ionizing radiation, large molecules
such as nucleic acid and proteins in the cells will be
ionized or excited
This may cause changes in the molecular structures
which then affect the function and metabolism of
the cells
38. Cell Irradiation
Direct action in cell damage by radiation
In direct action the radiation interacts directly with
the critical target in the cell
Which may be ionize or excited, leading to the chain
of events that produce the biological damage
39. Cell Irradiation
Indirect action in cell damage by radiation
Radiation indirectly interact with other molecules
and atoms (mainly water) within the cell to produce
free radicals
Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that break
chemical bonds and produce chemical changes that
lead to biological damage
41. Radiobiology Significance
Ionizing radiation is potentially lethal in living
organism, but can have health benefits in
radiation therapy, medical diagnosis etc.
Understanding the effects of radiation on cells
provide useful information for the
development of radiation protection
