Frequent abnormalities of the putative tumor suppressor gene FHIT at 3p14.2 in pancreatic carcinoma cell lines.
The FHIT gene is localized on chromosome 3p14, a region including a tumor cell-specific, commonly deleted region. To determine the role of the FHIT gene in pancreatic carcinogenesis, 14 pancreatic carcinoma cell lines were analyzed by reverse transcription-PCR and exon-specific PCR amplification of genomic DNA. The full-length FHIT transcript was lost in 70% of the pancreatic carcinoma cell lin...
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Immunohistochemical Expression of Endothelin A Receptor between Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Normal Oral Mucosa
Background: Recent research has provided evidences indicating the importance of endothelin axis in carcinogenesis. According to our knowledge, there are little information about endothelin A receptor (ETA) expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). So, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of ETA in OSCC and normal oral mucosa (...
متن کاملTropomyosin-1 acts as a potential tumor suppressor in human oral squamous cell carcinoma
It is widely accepted that oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a major contributor to the incidence and mortality of neck and head cancer. Tropomyosin-1 (TPM1), which is expressed at a low level, has been considered a prominent tumor-suppressing gene in a variety of solid tumors, although the precise mechanism of the TPM1 gene in OSCC progression remains unknown. We found that TPM1 expressio...
متن کاملDetection of Mutations in Exons 5 and 8 of Tumor Suppressor Tp53 Gene in Patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Lung Hospitalized in Afzalipour Hospital, Kerman, Iran
Introduction: Despite improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer in the past two decades, it has remained the most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. Among all genes that are mutated in lung cancer, TP53 located on chromosome 17P13/1 has a significant diagnostic and prognostic value. TP53 mutations have been extensively studied in lung cancer and TP53 mutational spectr...
متن کاملRole of EGFR Gene Polymorphisms in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma patients of Southeast of Iran: A Case-Control Study
Background: The decisive etiology of Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is still ambiguous, but we recognize the contribution of genetic aberration and environmental agent due to OSCC initiation. In the current study, we elucidate the potential impact of EGFR gene polymorphisms in the risk of OSCC in the southeast of Iran. Methods: Forty-eight OSCC patients along with 100 normal volunteers w...
