Metilação de genes supressores de tumor em câncer de mama
Methylation of tumor suppressor genes in breast cancer

Introdução: O câncer de mama aparece como o segundo tipo de neoplasia maligna causando a morte das mulheres no mundo. A heterogeneidade tumoral, e as vias pelas quais as células neoplásicas interagem representam grande relevância no desenvolvimento do câncer de mama. No tumor são encontradas alte...

miR-9-1 gene methylation and DNMT3B (rs2424913) polymorphism may contribute to periodontitis

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Genetic and epigenetic changes have been associated with periodontitis in various genes; however, little is known about genes involved in epigenetic mechanisms and in oxidative stress. Objective: This study aims to investigate the association of polymorphisms C677T in MTHFR (rs1801133) and W...

Epigenetics in non-small cell lung carcinomas

Salud pública Méx; 61 (3), 2019
Abstract: Objective: To perform a systematic review of the main epigenetic aberrations involved in non-small cell lung carcinomas' (NSCLC) diagnosis, progression, and therapeutics. Materials and methods: We performed a systematic review of the scientific literature on lung cancer epigenetics, focusin...

Methylation status of the PPP1R13L promoter region among lung cancer patients and healthy controls. Analytical cross-sectional study

Säo Paulo med. j; 137 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: There is evidence that genetic predisposition and epigenetic alteration (e.g. DNA methylation) play major roles in lung cancer. In our genetic epidemiological studies, rs1970764 in oncogene PPP1R13L was most consistently associated with lung cancer risk. Here, we explored the role ...

Effects of DACT1 methylation status on invasion and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of the methylation status of the DACT1 gene on the invasion and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. METHODS: The levels of methylation and expression of the DACT1 gene in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and CNE2 cells wer...

Alterações na epigenética do sistema ocitocinérgico em resposta ao cuidado materno negligente

Clin. biomed. res; 39 (4), 2019
O cuidado materno negligente, a falta de afeto e a dificuldade de interagir socialmente estão relacionadas com o desequilíbrio neurofisiológico da ocitocina, neurormônio com papel importante de modulação dos comportamentos sociais. Em seres humanos existem ligações conhecidas entre o estresse ...

Biomarcadores circulantes em mulheres com lesões impalpáveis da mama
Circulating biomarkers in women with impalpable breast lesions

O câncer de mama representa a primeira causa de morte por câncer no mundo para mulheres. Neste contexto, a detecção precoce do câncer de mama aumenta consideravelmente as chances de cura. Entretanto a caracterização das lesões iniciais e impalpáveis tem se tornado um desafio. Histologicamente es...

Insights on the epigenetic mechanisms underlying pulmonary arterial hypertension

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (12), 2018
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), characterized by localized increased arterial blood pressure in the lungs, is a slow developing long-term disease that can be fatal. PAH is characterized by inflammation, vascular tone imbalance, pathological pulmonary vascular remodeling, and right-sided heart fail...

Global and gene-specific DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation in human skin exposed and not exposed to sun radiation

An. bras. dermatol; 92 (6), 2017
Abstract: Background: epigenomes can be influenced by environmental factors leading to the development of diseases. Objective: To investigate the influence of sun exposure on global DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation status and at specific sites of the miR-9-1, miR-9-3 and MTHFR genes in skin sampl...

Epigenética del síndrome de ovario poliquístico

Rev. méd. Chile; 145 (7), 2017
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine and metabolic dysfunction, highly prevalent in women in their reproductive years. Hyperandrogenism, oligo-ovulation, polycystic ovarian morphology are the main features of this syndrome. PCOS is a genetic disorder with a multifactorial etiology and has a...
