[ 1 ] - Augmented expression levels of lncRNAs ecCEBPA and UCA1 in gastric cancer tissues and their clinical significance

Objective(s): As the second cause of cancer death, gastric cancer (GC) is one of the eminent dilemmas all over the world, therefore investigating the molecular mechanisms involved in this cancer is pivotal. Unrestricted proliferation is one of the characteristics of cancerous cells, which is due to deficiency in cell regulatory systems. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical re...

[ 2 ] - Expression profile of ZFX isoform3/variant 5 in gastric cancer tissues and its association with tumor size

Objective(s):Previous studies demonstrate that changes in pre-mRNA splicing play a significant role in human disease development. Furthermore, many cancer-associated genes are regulated by alternative splicing. There are mounting evidences that splice variants which express predominantly in tumors, have clear diagnostic value and may provide potential drug targets. Located on the X chromosome, ...

[ 3 ] - HBB FSC 36-37 (-T) Gene Mutation Detection in Carriers of Thalassemia Minor Using High Resolution Melting Analysis

Beta-thalassemia is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders in the world population resulting from over 200 different mutations of HBB gene. Beta-thalassemias are caused by point mutations or, more rarely, deletions in the HBB gene leading to reduced (beta+) or absent (beta0) synthesis of the beta chains of hemoglobin (Hb). High-resolution melting of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...

[ 4 ] - The Potential Mechanism of ZFX Involvement in Cell Growth

Background:The zinc-finger X linked (ZFX) gene encodes a transcription factor that acts as a regulator of self-renewal of stem cells. Due to the role of ZFX in cell growth, understanding ZFX protein-protein interactions helps to clarify its proper biological functions in signaling pathways. The aim of this study is to define ZFX protein-protein interactions and the role of ZFX in cell growth. ...

[ 5 ] - ZFX Overexpression in Breast Cancer Positively Correlates with Metastasis

Background: As the third most frequent cause of cancer death, breast cancer is a common disease worldwide. Most of the patients are being diagnosed in the stage that conventional treatments are not effective, and invasion and metastases lead to death. Therefore, identification of novel molecular markers to improve early diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of the breast cancer is a necessity. Zin...

[ 6 ] - بررسی مولکولی و آنالیز بیوانفورماتیکی دو جهش شایع ژن فنیل‌آلانین هیدروکسیلاز(PAH) با روش HRM

سابقه و هدف: بیماری فنیلکتونوری شایعترین خطای مادرزادی متابولیسم آمینواسید در جهان است و نرخ بروز آن در ایران در حال افزایش است. هدف از مطالعه حاضر، بررسی کارایی روش HRM به عنوان روشی سریع و مناسب در شناسایی جهشهای شایع ژن فنیلآلانین هیدروکسیلاز منجمله IVS10-11G>A و P281L میباشد، تا با کمک به تشخیص زود هنگام این بیماری بتوان از بروز علائم آن جلوگیری کرد. مواد و روشها: در این مطالعه مورد-ش...

[ 7 ] - سنجش نسبت بیان HOXB13:IL17BR در بیماران مبتلا به سرطان پستان به روش qRT-PCR با استفاده از رنگ سایبرگرین

زمینه و هدف: مطالعات نشان داده اند نسبت بیان HOXB13:IL17BR، شاخص پیشگویی پیامدهای کلینیکی در بیماران مبتلا به سرطان پستان با تومورهای استروژن رسپتور مثبت و عدم درگیری غدد لنفاوی تحت درمان با تاموکسیفن است. تمام این آزمایشات با روش qReal Time RT-PCR با استفاده از پروب TaqMan انجام شدند. هدف پژوهش حاضر سنجش این نسبت با روش qReal Time RT-PCR با استفاده از سایبرگرین بود. روش بررسی: در این مطالعه ی ...

[ 8 ] - Synthetic Biology Based on Genetic Logic Circuit, Using the Expression of Drug Resistance, BCRP Pump in MCF-7 Cancer Cell Line

Biological circuits are developed as biological parts within a cell to carry out logical functions resembling those studied in electronics circuits. These circuits can be performed as a method to vary cellular functions, to develop cellular responses to environmental conditions, or to regulate cellular developments. This research explored the possibility of synthetic biology based on the geneti...
