abstract

background: interleukin (il)-23 and il-27 are two il-12-related cytokines which their function may dramatically influence the inflammatory response to tumor development. il-12 and il-27 seem to have antagonistic roles with il-23 in tumor site. in this study, il-23 and il-27 mrna expressions were analyzed in peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer and healthy volunteers using quantitative real-time pcr. methods: peripheral blood samples were collected from 50 women with breast cancer and 50 healthy ones. the total rna was extracted from peripheral blood after lysis with ammonium chloride and trizol reagent and the cdna was synthesized. the expression of il-23 and il-27 gene transcripts was determined with real-time polymerase chain reaction (qrt-pcr) using syber green pcr master mix. results: it is found that il-23 and il-27 transcripts had significantly higher expression in peripheral blood of patients compared with the healthy controls. the ratio of il-23 transcript expression to il-27 was 3.4 fold lower in the studied patients compared with the normal individuals. conclusion: it is concluded that the over expression of il-23 and il-27 gene transcript in peripheral blood of breast cancer patients may be an immune response against tumor development and the inflammatory response plays a critical role in tumor development via up regulating the corresponding cytokines. however, the il-23/il-27 ratio may play an important role in cytokine-based immunotherapy against cancer. further research should be carried out to assess these cytokines in a larger sample size.

Concomitant Increase of OX40 and FOXP3 Transcripts in Peripheral Blood of Patients with Breast Cancer

Background: Regulatory T cells (T-regs) have an important role in cancer by suppression of protective antitumor immune responses. Regulatory T cells express the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor (FOXP3) and OX40 molecules which have important regulatory roles in the immune system. Objective: To evaluate FOXP3 and OX40 transcripts in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of women with ...

Investigation of NK Cell Population in Peripheral Blood and Tumor Lesions of Patients with Breast Cancer

Background: Alteration in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) is usually investigated to provide an evidence of the host immune responses to tumor antigens. The tumor infiltrating NK cells interact most closely with the tumor cells and more accurately reflect tumor host interactions. Objective: To analyze peripheral blood and tumor associated Natural Killer (NK) cells in patients with breast ca...

the study of aaag repeat polymorphism in promoter of errg gene and its association with the risk of breast cancer in isfahan region

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
