چکیده
Activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) is a critical step during carcinogenesis. Inactivation of TSGs occurs through deletion of one allele and mutation in the other allele or decreased mRNA expression. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis is a sensitive method to detect deletions of specific chromosome regions, which are considered to harbor putative TSGs. By this method we previously demonstrated the frequent deletions of several chromosomal loci and identified candidate TSGs such as ING1, ING3, ING4, Caspase-6 and BRG1 in head and neck cancer. On the other hand, recent researches showed that alterations of chromosomal loci and genes could be used as a predictive marker for the prognosis of the patients, for the behaviour of the tumor and its response to treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We recently detected high allelic loss of 19p13 region and identified BRG1 gene as a candidate TSG in 39 oral cancer samples. In the current study, we analyzed the clinicopathological data of the patients and compared with the deletion at BRG1 locus. Our results demonstrated that deletion at BRG1 locus could predict the recurrence, secondary primary cancer, or previous cancer history in oral cancer. Retention of LOH at 19p13 region suggested a high recurrence and secondary primary or previous cancer history. We also detected a higher LOH ratio in cases with smoking and alcohol consumption. The current study suggests that LOH at BRG1 locus could be used as a predictive marker in oral cancer.

Mutation analysis of the BRG1 gene in prostate cancer clinical samples.
Previous studies in hereditary and sporadic prostate cancer have indicated the existence of a tumor suppressor gene in chromosomal region 19p13. The BRG1 gene in this region is one of the possible candidates, based on both the frequency of inactivating mutations in human cancer cell lines, including the prostate cancer cell line DU145, and its functional properties. To our knowledge, no studies...
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...

A role for the SWI/SNF complex in tumorigenesis based on its requirement for retinoblastoma induced growth arrest and p53-mediated transcription and the appearance of tumors in SWI/SNF-deficient mice. In addition, Western blot data have shown that the SWI/SNF ATPase subunits cell, BRG1 and BRM (BRG1/BRM), are lost in approximately 30% of human non-small lung cancer cell lines. To determine whet...

Although many association studies of polymorphisms in candidate genes with the clinical outcomes of breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant tamoxifen therapy have been reported, genetic factors determining individual response to tamoxifen are not fully understood. To identify genetic polymorphisms associated with clinical outcomes of patients with tamoxifen treatment, we conducted a genome-wi...
