Identification of potential urinary protein biomarkers in colorectal cancer: a pilot study using a proteomic approach

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most diagnosed malignancies worldwide, and it is also the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Despite recent progress in screening programs, noninvasive accurate biomarkers are still needed in the CRC field. In this study, we evaluated and compared the urin...

In situ isolation of nuclei or nuclear proteins from adherent cells: a simple, effective method with less cytoplasmic contamination

Biol. Res; 56 (), 2023
BACKGROUND: Isolation of nuclei or nuclear proteins is a prerequisite for western blot, nuclear proteome profiling, and other evaluations of nuclear proteins. Here, we developed a simple method for in situ isolation of nuclei or nuclear proteins by in situ removing the extranuclear part of adherent cells...

Análise proteômica de células BEAS-2B expostas a benzo[α]pireno e nicotinamida ribosídeo

Responsável por milhões de óbitos anuais e um grande custo para a saúde pública, o câncer é a segunda maior causa de mortes no mundo. Dentre seus diversos tipos, o câncer de pulmão, além da alta incidência, é um dos mais letais. A exposição a substâncias tóxicas provenientes da combustão...

Proteomic analysis of human keratinocytes under UVA-induced stress

The solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation that reaches the Earth is composed of 95% of UVA (320 to 400 nm) and 5% of UVB (280 to 320 nm) radiation. UVB is carcinogenic, generating potentially mutagenic DNA lesions. The solar UVA radiation also causes DNA damage, but this fact does not fully account for its bi...

Identificação de moduladores da sinalização celular no câncer de cólon e metástases hepáticas como ferramenta para descoberta de alvos terapêuticos

O câncer de cólon é uma das principais causas de morte por câncer em todo mundo e aproximadamente 50% dos pacientes desenvolvem metástases hepáticas durante o curso da doença. Ainda que a ressecção cirúrgica proporcione sobrevida de 5 anos ao redor de 40%, a maior parte dos pacientes apresenta ...

A map of neutrophil granules by proteomics

Neutrophils are polymorphonuclear leukocytes that play a key role in the organism defense. These cells enroll in a range of actions to ensure pathogen elimination and orchestrate both innate and adaptative immune responses. The main physiological structures of neutrophils are their storage organelles tha...

Proteomics: a tool to investigate of composition and function of HDL in hyperlipidemia

The inverse relationship between HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and cardiovascular disease is well established. However, it is consensus that the cholesterol content present in HDL does not capture its complexity, and other metrics need to be explored. HDL is a heterogeneous, protein-enrich...

Estudo exploratório da Síndrome Hipoplasia Cartilagem-Cabelo no Brasil: uma abordagem genômica, proteômica e de análise estrutural de RNA
Exploratory study of Hypoplastic Cartilage-Hair Syndrome in Brazil: a genomic, proteomic and RNA structural analysis approach

A Hipoplasia Cartilagem-Cabelo (do inglês, Cartilage Hair Hypoplasia; CHH) é uma doença autossômica recessiva descrita por McKusick et al., em 1964 em crianças da comunidade Amish. Clinicamente, os pacientes apresentam displasia óssea metafisária em diferentes graus de gravidade. Além disso, tamb...

Planificación sanitaria a partir de los datos ómicos: ¿es posible esta idea para Chile?

Rev. méd. Chile; 149 (11), 2021
With or without a COVID19 pandemic, cancer is and will continue to be one of the greatest health challenges on the planet. In Chile, during 2016, this disease was the second cause of death in the country and during 2019, it was the first cause in seven Chilean regions, surpassing cardiovascular diseases....
