"Tumor Suppressor Bad Things" Song - to the tune of "Bad Things"
Created by Rebekah Lee, David Park, Bruce Liu, Hang Yin, Ashish Gurung, Greg Gaillardetz in Spring 2017
Am I out of my head?
Am I out of my mind?
If you only knew the bad things I like
Don't think that I can explain it
Suppressor genes say, it's complicated
Don't matter what Rb says
Don't matter what P-five-three do
I only wanna do bad things to you
So good, that APC can't stop it
What can I say, it's complicated
You activate Bax
When DNA ain’t good
Promote cell death
Healthy cells in the hood
P to the five three
You’re what I need
You make sure
My cell cycle ain’t ever be freed
Cdk inhibitor p21
You make me stay in G1
Inhibit transcription of Akt
Apoptosis the enemy
You keep me in check with those hips
The shape of your activated tips
While your body's giving me life
Until you’re degraded and dismissed
Then cancer came
I want p53 forever
only if you don’t function
Mutant in my genome, I can inhibit p21 whenever like,
I want you forever
Only if you don’t function
Mutant in my genome, I can proliferate wherever now
Am I out of my head?
Am I out of my mind?
If you only knew the bad things I like
Don't think that I can explain it
Suppressor genes say, it's complicated
Don't matter what Rb says
Don't matter what P-five-three do
I only wanna do bad things to you
So good, that APC can't stop it
What can I say, it's complicated
Adenomatous
Polyposis coli
It inactivates
beta-catenin
And wnt pathway
And proliferation
And’s tumor suppressor
Loss of function makes tumor cells
Knock me down to epithelial cells
I got what you dream about
Uncontrolled cell dividing and growth
Rapid mutation accumulate out
And you then mutate the oncogene Ras
While another suppressor got killed
While p53’s giving it up
And you metastasis and invade
Then you said
I want P53 forever
Only if you don’t function
Mutant in my genome, I can inhibit like
I want you forever
Only if you don’t function
Mutant in my genome, I must proliferate whenever
Am I out of my head?
Am I out of my mind?
If you only knew the pathway I like
Don't think that I can explain it
What can I say, it's complicated
Don't matter what you say
Don't matter what you do
I only wanna proliferate forever
So good, that you can't explain it
What can I say, it's complicated
When you’re inhibited, you can’t work Rb
You try everything, to save me
When something knocks you out
The cell grows free
Keeps proliferating
So constantly
You work forever
When you and phosphates aren’t together
Inactivating transcription regulators, can’t copy DNA wherever, yea,
You work forever
When you and phosphates aren’t together
Inactivating transcription regulators, can’t copy DNA whenever
Am I out of my head?
Am I out of my mind?
If you only knew the bad things I like
Don't think that I can explain it
Suppressor genes say, it's complicated
Don't matter what Rb says
Don't matter what P-five-three do
I only wanna do bad things to you
So good, that APC can't stop it
What can I say, it's complicated
