چکیده

introduction: malignant salivary gland tumors are rare entities. despite advances in surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, the rate of the mortality and five-year survival has not been improved markedly over the last few decades. the activation of egfr- ras-raf signaling pathway contributes to the initiation and progression of many human cancers, promising a key pathway for therapeutic molecules. thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate braf mutations in salivary gland carcinomas. methods: we designed pcr- rflp (polymerase chain reaction -restriction fragment length polymorphism) and screened 50 salivary gland carcinomas (sgcs) including mucoepidermoid carcinoma (mec), adenoid cystic carcinoma (adcc) and polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma (plga) for the braf v600e mutation. results: pcr-rflp analyses demonstrated no mutation in braf exon 15 for sgc samples at position v600, which is the most commonly mutated site for braf in human cancer. conclusions: according to our results sgcs didn’t acquire braf mutations that result in a constitutive activation of the signaling cascade downstream of egfr, hence sgcs can be a good candidate for anti egfr therapies.

No Incidence of BRAF Mutations in Salivary Gland Carcinomas—Implications for Anti-EGFR Therapies

BRAF is the main effector of KRAS in the RAS-RAF-MAPK axis, a signaling pathway downstream of EGFR. The activation of this cascade is an important pathway in cancer development and is considered a key pathway for therapeutic molecules. Recent studies in metastatic colorectal cancer found that an oncogenic activation of BRAF by a point mutation in exon 15 (V600E) could bypass the EGFR-initiated ...

Salivary Gland Carcinomas

Many malignant tumours other than squamous cell carcinoma may present in the oral cavity. Melanomas of the oral cavity are usually pigmented, aggressive tumours associated with a poor prognosis. Neoplasms of the minor salivary glands have a greater tendency to be malignant than those of the major glands, and some exhibit a predilection for occurring in the mouth. Many types of connective tissue...

Expression of TPX2 in salivary gland carcinomas.

TPX2 is a microtubule-associated protein and is required for microtubule formation at kinetochores in mammalian cells. The purpose of this study was to clarify the expression of TPX2 mRNA and correlation between TPX2 and clinicopathological factors in salivary gland carcinomas. The expression of TPX2 mRNA was investigated in 20 human salivary gland carcinomas (8 mucoepidermoid carcinomas, 7 ade...

BRAF Mutations in Iranian Papillary Thyroid Carcinomas

Papillary thyroid cancer or papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer that is account for 80-90% of all thyroid cancer cases (Kimura et al., 2003; Xing et al., 2005; Yoon et al., 2013). This thyroid cancer is occasionally occurs in women aged 30-40 years old and it is also prevalent in children and patients whose exposed to radiation in head and neck area. These types ...
