Background & Aim: Chlorine has been known as a mucus membranes and respiratory tract irritant. This gas can increase free radicals which cause cell damage. The aim of the present study was to measure DNA content and cell cycle in white blood cells after chronic chlorine poisoning. Materials & Methods: A clinical experimental study was carried out on 80 male mice(40 mice as sample and 40 as ...
متن کاملRole of Molecular Biomarkers in Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is amongst the most widespread cancers and is a most common cause of cancer associated mortality universally. Since previous decades, it has been cleared that CRC develops owing to the buildup of a series of genetic and epigenetic changes in the normal colonic epithelium. Regardless of the current development in surgery and therapies, overall survival of end stage CRC pa...
متن کاملEffects of Major Epigenetic Factors on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
The pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is influenced by both genetic factors and epigenetic modifications; the latter is a result of exposure to various environmental factors. Epigenetic modifications affect gene expression and alter cellular functions without modifying the genomic sequences. CpG-DNA methylation, histone modifications, and miRNAs are the main epigenetic factors ...
متن کاملPreanalytical blood sample workup for cell‐free DNA analysis using Droplet Digital PCR for future molecular cancer diagnostics
In current molecular cancer diagnostics, using blood samples of cancer patients for the detection of genetic alterations in plasma (cell-free) circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is an emerging practice. Since ctDNA levels in blood are low, highly sensitive Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) can be used for detecting rare mutational targets. In order to perform ddPCR on blood samples, a standardized procedu...
