Adduction of human p53 gene by fecal water: an in vitro biomarker of mutagenesis in the human large bowel.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A polymerase arrest assay was designed to determine sites of adduction in the human p53 gene induced by incubation with fecal water. Significant formation of adducts was observed on p53 DNA after a 2-h incubation in fecal water from 10 of 17 samples studied. Large sample-to-sample variation was observed. The major sites of polymerase termination occurred at nucleotides 3' to guanine residues. Adduct sites coincided with colorectal cancer p53 mutation "hotspots," highlighting the potential carcinogenicity of fecal material.

In vitro elaboration Mutagenesis and cloning of the PA gene in Bacillus subtilis
Background: The immune antigen of Bacillus anthracis is a protein that can attach to the surface receptor of all human cells. At the surface of cancer cells, there is a receptor that activates the uPA (Urokinase plasminogen) that do not exist in normal human cells. Objectives: The aim of this study was changing the location of the attachment of the PA gene by a dir...

متن کاملStudy of pH influence on the stability of 175th codon of P53 genes by computational and modeling methods
P53 tumor suppressor gene, also known as “genome guardian” is mutated in more than half of allkind of cancers. In this study we have investigated the controls of environmental pH for P53 genemutation in point of specific sequence which is prone to mutagenesis. The most probable cancerousmutations occur as point mutations in exons 5-8 of P53 gene. The 175th codon of P53 is the thirdmost mutated ...
متن کاملAdipose Stem Cells as a Feeder Layer Reduce Apoptosis and p53 Gene Expression of Human Expanded Hematopoietic Stem Cells Derived from Cord Blood
Introduction: Human hematopoietic stem cells (hHSCs) have been used for transplantation in hematologic failures. Because the number of hHSCs per cord blood unit is limited, the expansion of these cells is important for clinical application. It has been reported that cytokines and feeder layer provide a perspective to in vitro expansion of hHSCs. In this regard, cord blood CD34+ cells ex...

Background: The aberrant and altered patterns of gene expression play an important role in the biology of cancer and tumorigenesis. DNA methylation and histone deacetylation are the most studied epigenetic mechanisms. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) such as valproic acid (VPA) and trichostatin A (TSA) are a group of anticancer compounds for the treatment of solid and hematological canc...
