Suplementação de Vitamina D Induz Remodelação Cardíaca em Ratos: Associação com a Proteína de Interação com a Tiorredoxina e a Tiorredoxina

Arq. bras. cardiol; 116 (5), 2021
Resumo Fundamento: A vitamina D (VD) tem um importante papel na função cardíaca. No entanto, a vitamina exerce uma curva "dose-resposta" bifásica na fisiopatologia cardiovascular e pode causar efeitos deletérios, mesmo em doses não tóxicas. A VD exerce suas funções celulares ligando-se ao seu r...

ING3 and ING4 immunoexpression and their relation to the development of benign odontogenic lesions

Braz. dent. j; 32 (4), 2021
Abstract The Inhibitor of Growth (ING) gene family is a group of tumor suppressor genes that play important roles in cell cycle control, senescence, DNA repair, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. However, inactivation and downregulation of these proteins have been related in some neoplasms. The present s...

Prognostic implications of immune-related eight-gene signature in pediatric brain tumors

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (7), 2021
Genomic studies have provided insights into molecular subgroups and oncogenic drivers of pediatric brain tumors (PBT) that may lead to novel therapeutic strategies. Participants of the cohort Pediatric Brain Tumor Atlas: CBTTC (CBTTC cohort), were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts. In...

Prognostic significance of the mad1l1 1673 g:a polymorphism in ovarian adenocarcinomas

Rev. invest. clín; 72 (6), 2020
Abstract Background: Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer. Although most patients respond adequately to the first-line therapy, up to 85% experience a recurrence of disease, which carries a poor prognosis. Mitotic arrest deficiency 1 is a protein that helps in the assembly of the mitotic...

REC8 suppresses tumor angiogenesis by inhibition of NF-κB-mediated vascular endothelial growth factor expression in gastric cancer cells

Biol. Res; 53 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Tumor angiogenesis is an essential event for tumor growth and metastasis. It has been showed that REC8, a component of the meiotic cohesion complex, played a vital role in Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in gastric cancer. However, the role of REC8 in gastric cancer angiogenesis remai...

Overexpression of CDC7 in malignant salivary gland tumors correlates with tumor differentiation

Abstract Introduction: Cell division cycle-7 protein is a serine/threonine kinase that has a basic role in cell cycle regulation and is a potential prognostic or therapeutic target in some human cancers. Objectives: This study investigated the expression of cell division cycle-7 protein in benign and m...

The pathways of cell cycle regulation in retinoblastoma

RBAC. (Online); 51 (1), 2019
Retinoblastoma is a childhood ocular tumor often caused by the biallelic inactivation of the RB1 gene affecting children up to 5 years of age. A retinoblastoma protein (pRB), encoded by the tumor suppressor gene RB1, is responsible for the regular progression of the G1 phase to the phase S of the cell cy...

YAP activation promotes the transdifferentiation of cardiac fibroblasts to myofibroblasts in matrix remodeling of dilated cardiomyopathy

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (1), 2019
Yes-associated protein (YAP) is an important regulator of cellular proliferation and transdifferentiation. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying myofibroblast transdifferentiation in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We investigated the role of YAP in the pathological process of cardiac ma...

The apoptotic, angiogenic and cell proliferation genes CD63, S100A6 e GNB2L1 are altered in patients with endometriosis

Abstract Objective The aim of the present study was to analyze the expression of the CD63, S100A6, and GNB2L1genes, which participate in mechanisms related to the complex pathophysiology of endometriosis. Methods A case-control study was conducted with 40 women who were diagnosed with endometriosis, ...

miR-483-5p promotes prostate cancer cell proliferation and invasion by targeting RBM5

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (6), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective: miR-483-5p has been identified as a miRNA oncogene in certain cancers. However, its role in prostate cancer has not been sufficiently investigated. In this study, we investigated the role of miR-483-5p in prostate cancer and examined RBM5 regulation by miR-483-5p. Material and metho...
