Abstract:

Background and purpose: Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in terms of incidence and the second most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of CTGF and MLH1 gene in colorectal cancer tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues in patients in Golestan province. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 20 colorectal cancer tissue samples and 20 adjacent healthy tissue samples were collected from Sayad Shirazi Hospital Research Center, Gorgan. After RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis and primer design, the expresion of CTGF and MLH1 genes were measured by Real Time PCR. Statistical analysis of data was done in Graphpad Prism software. Results: According to findings, increase was seen in the CTGF gene expression level in tumor tissue to the adjacent healthy tissue (P<0.05), while the ratio of the MLH1 gene expression in the tumor tissue to the adjacent healthy tissue decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion: This study showed that increased expression levels of CTGF gene and decreased expression levels of MLH1 gene play roles in colorectal cancer.

Expression Changes of the FOXE1 and lncRNA PTCSC2 Expression in Tumor Tissues Compared with Normal Tissues in Patients with Colorectal Cancer

Introduction: In recent studies, methylation of FOXE1 in colorectal cancer has been reported as a diagnostic biomarker. In this study for the first time, the expression of FOXE1 and PTCSC2 in colorectal cancer was investigated and their expression patterns in two healthy and tumor tissues of patients were compared. Methods: In this study, 40 tumor tissues with colorectal cancer and 40 adjacent...

Evaluation of miR-330-3p and BMI1 Expression in Colorectal Cancer Patients, Healthy Adjacent Tissues, and Polypoid Adenomatous Lesions

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as essential gene expression regulators associated with human diseases such as colorectal cancer (CRC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression of miR-330-3p and its target gene BMI1 in tissue samples of patients with CRC, polyp, and healthy adjacent tissue samples and their association with clinicopathological and demographic factors such as age...

MLH1 Gene Expression and Pathologic Factors in Iranian Patients with Colorectal Cancer

Background and Objectives: MutL homolog (MLH1) is a key component of heterodimeric complex MutLα, which recognizes and repairs base-base mismatches or insertion/deletion loops that arise from nucleotide misincorporation. In the absence of MLH1 protein, the number of unrepaired mismatches will increase and cause tumors in organs. The present study aimed at quantitative analysis of MLH1 gene expr...

Evaluation of MLL2 (KMT2B) Gene Expression in Colorectal Cancer Tissue Compared with Adjacent Tumor Free Tissue

Background and Aims: An impairment of expression in MLL2 gene involved in histone methylation induces alteration in the methylation patterns at enhancers and causes several cancers including colon cancer. In this study, MLL2 expression was evaluated in North West of Iran. Materials and Methods: To evaluate the MLL2 expression in patients with colon cancer, 25 tumor samples and 25 samples of tu...

Investigating the CTGF mRNA Expression Level in Patients with Colorectal Cancer

Background: The Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) gene encoding an extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated protein and as a member of the CCN family of proteins plays a major role in fibrosis, inflammation and connective tissue remodeling in a variety of diseases including cancer. The CCN proteins are multifunctional and are involved in cell proliferation, adhesion and cell development durin...

Mutation Analysis of TP53 Tumor Suppressor Gene in Colorectal Cancer in Patients from Iran (Kerman Province)

Objective(s) P53 is an important tumor suppressor, which is mutated in later stages of many cancers and leads to resistance to chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to reveal mutations of TP53 in colorectal cancer in Kerman province. Materials and Methods A total of Forty-three colon cancer specimens as paraffin block or fresh tissues, which passed stage IIIA, were selected. Three exons 5,...
