چکیده

DNA hybridization arrays permit global gene expression profiling to be done in a single experiment. The evolution and challenges of DNA hybridization arrays are reflected in the variety of experimental platforms, probe composition, hybridization/signal detection methods, and bioinformatic interpretation. In tumor biology, DNA hybridization arrays are being used for gene/gene pathway discovery, diagnosis, and therapeutic design. Similar applications are advancing our understanding of oral cancer cell biology.

Evaluation of Immunohistochemistry-Equivocal (2+) HER2 Gene Status in Invasive Breast Cancer by Silver DNA in Situ Hybridization (SISH) and its Association with Clinicopathological Variables

Background and Objective:Determination of HER2 gene is crucial in breast carcinoma management and prognosis, as HER2 alterations are linked to a shorter disease-free period, overall survival and resistance to tamoxifen anti-estrogen therapy and other chemotherapy regimens, regardless of the nodal or hormone receptor status. This study aimed to...

An Enterovirus-Like RNA Construct for Colon Cancer Suicide Gene Therapy

Background: In gene therapy, the use of RNA molecules as therapeutic agents has shown advantages over plasmid DNA, including higher levels of safety. However, transient nature of RNA has been a major obstacle in application of RNA in gene therapy. Methods: Here, we used the internal ribosomal entry site of encephalomyocarditis virus and the 3’ non-translated region of Poliovirus to design an en...

Construction a DNA Vaccine Containing Human Papillomavirus Type 16 Early Genes as a Potential Vaccine for Cervical Cancer Prevention and Therapy

  Background and Objectives: Some of the human papillomaviruses (HPVs) can infect genital tracts and are sometimes associated with anogenital tract cancers. HPVs induced cervical cancers through the expression of E6 and E7 genes by inactivating the tumor suppressor proteins. In this study, E6 and E7 genes were chosen in order to construct an expression vector which is able to express ...

Tumor classification based on DNA copy number aberrations determined using SNP arrays.

High-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array is a recently introduced technology that genotypes more than 10,000 human SNPs on a single array. It has been shown that SNP arrays can be used to determine not only SNP genotype calls, but also DNA copy number (DCN) aberrations, which are common in solid tumors. In the past, effective cancer classification has been demonstrated using micr...

Fluorescent in Situ Hybridization and Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction to Evaluate HER-2/neu Status in Breast Cancer

Background:Breast cancer remains the most common and second lethal cancer in females. HER-2/neu is one of the most important amplified oncogene in breast cancer. The amplification of HER-2 is correlated with decreased survival, metastasis, and early recurrence.  The amplification of HER-2/neu gene and synthesis of th...
