چکیده
background: variations in cytotoxic t lymphocyte antigen-4 (ctla-4) affect the expression and function of this protein. objective: we aimed to investigate the association of +49 a/g (rs231775), +1822 c/t (rs231779) and +6230 a/g (ct60, rs3087243) genetic variations, as well as the merged haplotypes in ctla-4 gene with susceptibility to, or progression of head and neck cancer. methods: eighty patients with confirmed head and neck (hn) cancer (age 54.9 ± 16.1 years) and 85 healthy age/sexmatched controls (age 56.3 ± 12.4 years) were enrolled in the study. genotypes were investigated by the pcr-rflp method. arlequin software package was used to check for hardy-weinberg equilibration, and to estimate the haplotypes. results: at position +6230 a/g (ct60), aa genotype, as well as a allele was significantly decreased in patients with hn cancers than controls (18.8% vs. 40.7%, p=0.004; odds ratio=0.34, and 46.3% vs. 61.7, p=0.007; odds ratio=0.53%, respectively). nearly the same results were obtained when we compared the subgroup of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the hn (scc-hn) with control subjects. the frequencies of genotypes and alleles at other positions were not significantly different between patients and controls, however acg, gta and gca haplotypes emerged from three investigated loci occurred with significantly more frequencies in patients (p

Background: Variations in Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen-4 (CTLA-4) affect the expression and function of this protein. Objective: We aimed to investigate the association of +49 A/G (rs231775), +1822 C/T (rs231779) and +6230 A/G (CT60, rs3087243) genetic variations, as well as the merged haplotypes in CTLA-4 gene with susceptibility to, or progression of head and neck cancer.

متن کاملLack of Association between ctla-4 A49G Polymorphism and Vitiligo
Background: Vitiligo is an acquired skin disorder that selectively destroys melanocytes in epidermis with an unknown etiology. Objective: To investigate the exon 1 A49G polymorphism of cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (ctla-4) gene in vitiligo patients. Methods: The A49G polymorphism was detected by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method in 101...
متن کاملCTLA-4 Gene Haplotypes and the Risk of Chronic Hepatitis C Infection; a Case Control Study
Background: The prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is increasing worldwide. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) may play a role in the intensity of the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between genetic variants of the CTLA-4 and HCV infection. Methods: Restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction (RFLP-PCR) was ...

متن کاملProduction and Evaluation of Specific Single-Chain Antibodies against CTLA-4 for Cancer-Targeted Therapy
Background: Cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) molecules are expressed on T-cells and inhibit their function by inhibiting activation of subsequent T-cell molecular pathways. Blocking of CTLA-4 inhibits the growth of malignant tumor cells. Anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies activate the immune system against cancer. Due to several advantages of single-chain antibodi...
متن کاملAssociation of the CTLA-4 1722TC polymorphism and systemic lupus erythematosus: a systematic review and meta analysis
Background :Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is an important negative regulator of T-cell responses. The -1722TC polymorphism of the CTLA-4 gene may be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) risk, but related results from previous studies have been inconsistent. We carried out a meta-analysis to assess this association more precisely. Methods : A systematic s...
