چکیده
submitted for the 2010 meeting of the American Society for Clinical Oncology, which reports differences in breast tumor characteristics between breast cancer patients from multiple ethnicities. Copies of published manuscripts resulting from these efforts appear in the appendix. Mr. Ahern has also completed a number of invited peer reviews of breast cancer manuscripts submitted to leading journals, including Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, British Medical Journal, American Journal of Epidemiology, The Breast, European Journal of Epidemiology, and Journal of Clinical

O-3: Drug Repositioning by Merging Gene Expression Data Analysis and Cheminformatics Target Prediction Approaches
The transcriptional responses of drug treatments combined with a protein target prediction algorithm was utilised to associate compounds to biological genomic space. This enabled us to predict efficacy of compounds in cMap and LINCS against 181 databases of diseases extracted from GEO. 18/30 of top drugs predicted for leukemia (e.g. Leflunomide and Etoposide) and breast cancer (e.g. Tamoxifen a...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of the Effects of Valproic Acid and Tamoxifen on Proliferation, and Apoptosis of Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma WCH 17 CellLin
Background: Histone deacetylation of tumor suppressor genes such as estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) can induce cancer, which is reversible by epi-drugs such as valproic acid (VPA). The previous result indicated that tamoxifen (TAM) induced apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study was designed to assess the apoptotic and antiproliferative effects of VPA and TAM and also the ef...
متن کاملRole of Cytochrome P450 Polymorphisms on Breast Cancer Treatment
Pharmacogenetics is one of the key factors that is responsible for biological signaling variations that can lead to various diseases. Being led by genetic mutations, breast cancer is affected at higher level due to pharmacogenetic variations. Chemotherapeutic drug is mainly bio transformed in the liver by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme. CY450 isoforms and polymorphisms direct inter individual and...
متن کاملAssociation of IL18 gene polymorphisms (positions -656 G/T, -137 G/C and +105A/C) with Kala-Azar
Background & Objective: Host resistance to Leishmania infection is mediated by cellular immune responses leading to macrophage activation and parasite killing. IL-18 known as interferon-γ inducing factor, stimulate IFN-γ production by T-cells. According to the important role of IL-18 in defense against VL and known effect of IL-18 gene polymorphisms on its production, the aim of this study was ...
متن کاملThe Comparison of the Effectiveness of a Modified Conformation Sensitive Gel Electrophoresis with Denaturing High Performance Liquid Chromatography
Background: Several methods have been developed for detection of sequence variation in genes and each has its advantages and disadvantages. A disadvantage of them is that the simpler, cost-effective methods are commonly perceived as being less sensitive in their detection of sequence variation, whereas those with proven sensitivity have a requirement for complex or expensive laboratory equipmen...
