When a client is having a chemotherapy for cancer and he or she develops sores in the mouth, and she inquires the nurse why this happened, the nurse's answer would say that it is due to the fact that the cells in the mouth are sensitive to the chemotherapy. The mouths’ epithelial cells, due to their high rate of cell turnover, become more sensitive. This is one of the effects of chemotherapy. In chemotherapy, the healthy cells in the lining of the mouth are also affected. Other side effects that are evident in the patient include soreness and ulceration of the mouth, mouth infections, dry mouth, taste changes, and bleeding gums. Aside from these effects, effects like fatigue, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, blood disorders, sexual and reproductive issues, etc. can also be observed.

In colorectal cancer, some tumor suppressor genes are inactive. This is an important factor resulting in uncontrolled cell divis
tresset_1 [31]

Answer/Explanation:

(1) a mutation in the coding region, resulting in an inactive protein

To check to see if there is a mutation, you could extract the DNA from the cancer cells and then perform PCR to amplify the gene of interest. You could then perform sanger sequencing and compare the sequence to the normal gene to see if a mutation is present. To test the effect of the mutation, you would want to see if an active protein has been formed.

To see if a normal sized protein has been formed, you could perform a western blot, comparing the protein band to the WT protein band. If the protein is absent or much smaller, it is likely not a functional protein.

(2) epigenetic silencing at the promoter of the gene, resulting in reduced transcription.

To check for changes in the epigenetic landscape of the promoter, you could perform chromatin immunoprecipitation by extracting the chromatin from the tumour cells and using antibodies for different chromatin marks to see what has changed between the normal cells and the tumor cells. E.g. H3K9me3, H3K27me3. You would perform a pull down with the antibody of interest and then PCR for your promoter to specifically look at changes at that gene compared to normal cells. To test DNA methylation, you could perform bisulfite sequencing.

To see how transcription is affected, you could extract RNA from the tumor and normal cells, and compare the levels of RNA between the two samples by qRT-PCR
