Molecular investigation of the stromal cell-derived factor-1 chemokine in lymphoid leukemia and lymphoma patients from Brazil.

چکیده
The stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) gene contains a common polymorphism, termed SDF1-3'A, in an evolutionarily conserved segment of the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR). We compared SDF-1 genotypes in patients diagnosed with lymphoid leukemias and lymphomas. Since the SDF1-3'A variant deletes the MspI restriction site, PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was used for identification of genotypes. We identified the heterozygous genotype (3'A/wt) in 38.8% (24/62) of lymphoma patients and in 26.2% (11/42) of lymphoid leukemias. The percentage of 3'A carriers was significantly higher in lymphomas (43.5%) than in lymphoid leukemias (26.2%; P < 0.05). Our study indicates that lymphoma patients from Brazil are more likely to carry the 3'A gene than patients with lymphoid leukemias, suggesting that this polymorphism may be a differential determinant of lymphomas and lymphoid leukemia.

Introduction: Metastasis is the main cause of cancer death; however, the underlying mechanisms of metastasis are largely unknown. The chemokine of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) and the process of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), both have been declared as important factors to promote cancer metastasis; however, Conspicuously, the relation between them has not been recognized well...

Expression of ROR1 Gene in Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) results from genetic alterations in a single lymphoid progenitor cell. Expression of ROR1 is reported to be increased in ALL and mantle cell lymphoma. In this study the expression of ROR1 was assessed in newly diagnosed patients with ALL. Methods: This study was carried out on 40 patients with newly diagnosed ALL and healthy individuals as contro...

Background and Objective: Mobilization of Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) for transplantation and the importance of -adrenergic signals in induction of this process have been well investigated. However, little is known about the role of -adrenergic signals in mobilization of HSCs and factors influenced by these signals. The Chemokine Stromal Derived Factor -1 (SDF-1) which is expressed by hum...

Objective(s): Non- Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are two main hematological malignances which have been driven from lymphoid tissue. Genetic polymorphisms in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) -308 and lymphotoxin-α (LT-α) +252 may affect their transcription and expression which leads to their high plasma level. The frequency of the TNF-α (-308) and LT-...
