abstract

objective(s): epigenetic regulation of gene expression can be carried out through chromatin remodeling enzymes such as swi/snf. brg1 also known as smarca4 is a catalytic subunit of swi/snf, which is necessary for mmps expression. matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) are known as important player enzymes during tumor progression and metastasis. aberrant epigenetic modification of chromatin should be precisely clarified to reveal probable unknown pathways in escc progression. probable role of brg1 in escc tumorigenesis and metastasis was studied through the assessment of brg1 mrna expression in kyse30, and further evaluation about the biology of brg1 was performed through the brg1 silencing. materials and methods: level of brg1 mrna expression in kyse30 was compared to normal tissues using the real time polymerase chain reaction (pcr). moreover, kyse30 cells were transfected with brg1-sirna to silence the brg1. results: our results showed for the first time that brg1 mrna expression was increased in kyse30 cell line (escc cell line) compared with normal esophageal tissue of escc patients. rate of transfection in kyse30 was also between 40 to 50%, using the psilencer-brg1shrna (1:1 ratio). conclusion: our data indicated that chromatin remodeling machinery is a novel aspect in tumor biology of escc, and overexpression of brg1 as an important member of swi/snf might be involved in the migration and invasion of escc tumoral cells.

Role of the Human Papillomavirus Infectio in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Background and Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the possible etiologic factors  in development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this study we aimed to study the  role of HPV in ESCC. Patients and Methods:In this study, 140 cases of ESCC were analyzed for the HPV DNA by  polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using GP5+/GP6+ primers for L1 open reading frame (ORF) to  am...

Involvement of TSLC1 in progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Frequent allelic losses of 11q23 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) have been reported previously, but no tumor suppressor genes in this region have been identified in ESCC. TSLC1 was identified on chromosome 11q23.2 as a tumor suppressor gene in non-small cell lung cancer by functional complementation of a lung adenocarcinoma cell line. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ro...

Prevalence of Nucleotide Alterations of EGFR Gene in Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Kerman

Background & Aims: Esophageal Cancer is the sixth fatal cancer in the world. Squamous and adenocarcinoma account for 95% of esophageal cancer. The expression of EGFR has a role in the pathophysiology of epidermal-based malignancies such as esophageal cancer. EGFR is also an important criterion in the evaluation of disease staging and prognosis. The aim of this study was to survey the prevalence...

Analysis of SEPT9 Gene Promoter Methylation Status in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Introduction: The changes in the level of SEPT9 gene promoter methylation can contribute to the formation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of changes in the level of SEPT9 gene promoter methylation in the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: In the present case-control study, we collected 75 paraffin blocks of esophageal cancer tiss...
