Targeting lysosomal degradation induces p53-dependent cell death and prevents cancer in mouse models of lymphomagenesis.
Despite great interest in cancer chemoprevention, effective agents are few. Here we show that chloroquine, a drug that activates the stress-responsive Atm-p53 tumor-suppressor pathway, preferentially enhances the death of Myc oncogene-overexpressing primary mouse B cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and impairs Myc-induced lymphomagenesis in a transgenic mouse model of human Burkitt l...
متن کاملCytogenetic analysis of 1284 cases of Down syndrome
Among 17786 karyotyres performed in our center,during 18 years (1357-1375),1300(7.3%) cases of chromosome 21 aberration,including 1284(98.77%) of Down syndrome have been detected.1191 of cases (92.76%) born free trisomy 21:61 cases (4.75%) revealed translocation and 32 cases (2.4%) showed mosaic pattern.among the pateints,59 had robertsonian translocation,2 had translocation between chromosome ...
متن کاملApplication of Molecular DNA Markers (STRs) in Molecular Diagnosis of Down Syndrome in Iran
Down syndrome is one of the most common causes of mental retardation observed in approximately 1/700 live birth. The use of two or more STR markers related to chromosome 21 facilitates the diagnosis of Down syndrome within about six hours from the collection of the samples. This is the first study has been performed in Iranian population to assess the diagnostic value of using small tandem repe...
متن کاملSporadic Burkitt Lymphoma: A Case Report
Introduction: Burkitt lymphoma is an aggressive subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma with a doubling time of 25 hours. It is characterized by a MYC gene coding alteration which results from a translocation of chromosome 8 on the MYC gene locus and immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus (IGH) on chromosome 14. Even though HIV infection is associated to an increased risk of Burkitt lymphoma, th...
متن کاملMolecular-cytogenetic aberrations in B-cell adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) - frequency and correlation with immunophenotype.
B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) accounts for 20-30% of acute leukemias in adults. Combined application of data from immunophenotyping, karyotyping and molecular analyses allows a better understanding of this heterogeneous disease. We studied 30 adult patients with newly diagnosed B-ALL by conventional cytogenetics, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunophenotyping analy...
