[ 1 ] - PTEN Gene Expression and Its Association with rs10490920 SNP in Breast Cancer

Introduction: The PTEN gene, also known as MMAC1 or TEP1, is a tumor suppressor gene. One of the important polymorphisms of this gene is the rs10490920 SNP. The purpose of this study was to determine the PTEN gene expression and its relation to changes in rs10490920 polymorphism in breast cancer. Methods: In this study, 40 breast cancer patients and 10 healthy controls were considered. The expr...

[ 2 ] - The effect of extract of Dunaliella salina L. on the expression of Bax in glioblastoma cancer cell Line

Background & Aims: Plant extracts can change the expression of genes in cancer cells. Till now, no study has been performed on the effect of algae extract. The aim of this research was to study the changes in Bax apoptotic gene expression in glioblastoma cell line and to determine the rate of cell death in cancer cells treated with Dunalilla salina extract. U87 cell line contains glioblas...
