iii Dedication To God, who has blessed me with a wonderful family and amazing opportunities. To my family who has shown me unconditional love and support. You have been my stability, my rock, and my biggest fans. You have been there every step of the way and have picked me back up when I felt like giving up. You have shown me that together, we are unbreakable. To my parents who have been my strongest supporters, both emotionally and financially. You have guided me, supported me, and respected me as I created a path for myself. You have instilled in me a hard work ethic and the importance of a good education. You have taught me never to settle and have shaped me into the strong, independent woman I am today. Your encouragement, love, and strength are my inspiration. To my mom, the strongest woman I know. You carry the weight of our family on your shoulders and your strength has always been the bond that keeps our family together. Without your dedication to us, we wouldn't be where we are. To my dad, who has shown me that sometimes all you need is to work hard and have faith that it will be recognized. You have taught me to never give up and to fight for what I deserve and most importantly what I believe in. You have taught me that no matter the circumstances, perseverance and determination will lead you to greatness. To my brothers, who are my role models. You give me strength and advice when I'm in need. Your love and support have made me want to be the best that I can be. To my friends, who have been constant sources of motivation and inspiration. iv Acknowledgements First and foremost, I'd like to thank my mentor and advisor, Dr. Vidya Gopalakrishnan. I will be forever grateful for her guidance, teachings, and patience in helping me become the scientist I am today. Her advice, insightful criticism, and patient encouragement aided in the writing of this thesis. She pushed me to challenge myself beyond any limit I ever thought was possible. for their guidance, suggestions and support, both emotionally and scientifically. for his help in guiding our project and Dr. Milena Nicoloso, a member of Dr. Calin's Lab for her hard work and dedication to this project. I would like to thank all members in my lab …

بررسی بیان ژنهای P16 INK4A و P14ARF در فازهای مختلف لوسمی میلوئیدی مزمن
Background & Aim : Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a disorder of pluripotential hematopoietic stem cell that is as a myeloproliferative disease and occurs in about 15 percent of all leukemia. Two cell cycle regulatory proteins that function as tumor suppressor are P16INK4A and P14ARF. The origin of these two proteins is a human INK4A-ARF gene locus that located on chromosome 9p21. P16INK4A co...
متن کاملEstimating clinical outcome of HPV induced cervical lesions by combination of capsid protein L1 and p16INK4a protein detection.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether is possible to predict clinical outcome of cervical lesion by immunoassaying performed on cervical smears. During the two year study period the cervical smears of 81 patients were collected. All patients were tested for human papillomavirus (HPV) infections using Amplycor HPV test. Sixty-six of them were tested as positive for high risk types (hr...
متن کاملhYSK1 promotes cancer cell proliferation and migration through negative regulation of p16INK4a under hypoxic conditions
The alteration of expression of p16INK4a, a well-known cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor involved in cell cycle control, in tumors is unclear, especially under hypoxic conditions. To evaluate p16INK4a regulation, we performed a protein microarray analysis. Among 1,800 proteins in the array, we identified hYSK1 as a novel protein that interacts with the tumor suppressor p16INK4a. hYSK1, a member...
متن کاملp16INK4a as a second effector of the telomere damage pathway.
Telomere damage resulting from telomere shortening can potentially suppress tumorigenesis by permanently arresting or eliminating incipient cancer cells. Dysfunctional telomeres activate the canonical DNA damage response pathway, resulting in a p53-mediated G(1)/S arrest and senescence or apoptosis. Experimental induction of telomere damage through inhibition of the telomeric protein TRF2 recap...
متن کاملp16INK4a and its regulator miR-24 link senescence and chondrocyte terminal differentiation-associated matrix remodeling in osteoarthritis
INTRODUCTION Recent evidence suggests that tissue accumulation of senescent p16INK4a-positive cells during the life span would be deleterious for tissue functions and could be the consequence of inherent age-associated disorders. Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the accumulation of chondrocytes expressing p16INK4a and markers of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), inclu...

Background and aim: Lung cancer is one of the most leading causes of cancer death in males and females and the second leading cause of cancer death. Epigenetic alterations, including DNA hypermethylation, histone deacetylation, and miRNAs lead to the silencing of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) resulting in tumorigenesis. This change has been reported in various cancers. The activity of DNA meth...
