Throughout the course, we learned about the process of carcinogenesis which describes the steps in which cancer and tumors develop. There are several different factors that induce carcinogenesis, which are carcinogens. For this assignment, we were assigned and article in which we had to read and interpret to direct the ways in which the process of carcinogenesis is induced or affected. The assigned article explained how high frequencies of Nitric Oxide production within human adenomas lead to the development of tumors. Nitric oxide is a gas that the body naturally produces and is categorized by three different types, NOS1, NOS2 and NOS3. The form NOS2 is critical to caner development because of its ability to cause mutations within cells. The studies explained in the article showed that mutations occurred more frequently in adenomas when there were higher concentrations of Nitric oxide. There are several experimental test completed on human adenoma tissue that showed large concentrations of NOS2 within blood vessels which allowed there to be a substantial blood supply feeding the tumors allowing them to grow and become malignant, thus inducing carcinogenesis.
