Lag - 3 , a Novel Lymphocyte Activation Gene
A number of cell surface structures are thought to belong to the Ig superfamily (IgSF) t because they contain at least one domain with a characteristic folding pattern, called the Ig fold (reviewed in reference 1) . Several of these molecules have critical functions in immune responses . In addition to ensuring specific antigen recognition (Ig, TCR), they may function as monomorphic ligands cri...
متن کاملRole of Brg1 in progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Objective(s): Epigenetic regulation of gene expression can be carried out through chromatin remodeling enzymes such as SWI/SNF. Brg1 also known as SMARCA4 is a catalytic subunit of SWI/SNF, which is necessary for MMPs expression. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known as important player enzymes during tumor progression and metastasis. Aberrant epigenetic modification of chromatin should be...
متن کاملPrevalence of Nucleotide Alterations of EGFR Gene in Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Kerman
Background & Aims: Esophageal Cancer is the sixth fatal cancer in the world. Squamous and adenocarcinoma account for 95% of esophageal cancer. The expression of EGFR has a role in the pathophysiology of epidermal-based malignancies such as esophageal cancer. EGFR is also an important criterion in the evaluation of disease staging and prognosis. The aim of this study was to survey the prevalence...
متن کاملLymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) expression and IFN-gamma production are variably coregulated in different human T lymphocyte subpopulations.
We evaluated the relationship between cytokine profile and the expression of the lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) in both T cell clones and polyclonal T cell lines; LAG-3 is a CD4-like protein whose expression is reportedly restricted to Th1/0 cells and dependent upon IFN-gamma. We found that, while LAG-3 was expressed only by CD4+ T cell clones producing IFN-gamma, most CD8+ clones produci...
متن کاملAnalysis of SEPT9 Gene Promoter Methylation Status in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Introduction: The changes in the level of SEPT9 gene promoter methylation can contribute to the formation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of changes in the level of SEPT9 gene promoter methylation in the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: In the present case-control study, we collected 75 paraffin blocks of esophageal cancer tiss...
