O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase and ATP-Binding Cassette Membrane Transporter G2 Promotor Methylation: Can Predict the Response to Chemotherapy in Advanced Breast Cancer?
Background: ATP-binding cassette membrane transporter G2 (ABCG2) gene is one of transporter family and well characterized for their association with chemoresistance. Promoter methylation is a mechanism for regulation of gene expression. O6-Methyl guanine DNA methyl transferase (MGMT) gene plays a fundamental role in DNA repair. MGMT has the ability to remove alkyl adducts from DNA at the O6 pos...
متن کاملLack of an Association between a Functional Polymorphism in the MDM2 Promoter and Breast Cancer in Women in Northeast Iran
Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide. Tumor protein 53 (TP53) and its regulator the mouse double murine 2 (MDM2) have important roles in tumorigenesis by playing key roles in cell division and response to DNA damage. MDM2 SNP309 T>G (rs2279744) polymorphism in the promoter region of MDM2 gene can cause dysfunction and inactivation of TP53 which promo...
متن کاملThe Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 Functional 5A/6A Promoter Polymorphism in Tumor Cell Progression and Metastasis of Breast Cancer
In the human genome, chromosome 11 contains a cluster of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region of MMP genes are important for MMP expression. A common adenine deletion polymorphism (5A) at position -1171 of the MMP-3 gene promoter (5´-AAAAAACCAT-3´ change to 5´-AAAAACCAT-3´) facilitates transcriptional factor binding and MMP-3 promoter acti...
متن کاملRare variants of the gene encoding the potassium chloride co-transporter 3 are associated with bipolar disorder.
Recessive mutations of the potassium chloride co-transporter 3 gene ( SLC12A6 , KCC3 ) cause severe peripheral neuropathy frequently associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum and psychoses (ACCPN). SLC12A6 is localized on chromosome 15q14, a region where linkage to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder has previously been shown. Mutation analysis of SLC12A6 was carried out by direct sequenci...
متن کاملUrinary concentrating defect in hypothyroid rats: role of sodium, potassium, 2-chloride co-transporter, and aquaporins.
Hypothyroidism is associated with impaired urinary concentrating ability in humans and animals. The purpose of this study was to examine protein expression of renal sodium chloride and urea transporters and aquaporins in hypothyroid rats (HT) with diminished urinary concentration as compared with euthyroid controls (CTL) and hypothyroid rats replaced with L-thyroxine (HT+T). Hypothyroidism was ...
