Phytohemagglutinin-Induced Mitotic Index in Blood Lymphocytes: A Potential Biomarker for Breast Cancer Risk
BACKGROUND Cell proliferation is associated with the pathogenesis of cancer because it provides opportunities for accumulating genetic mutations. However, biomarkers of cell proliferation in response to environmental stimuli have not been adequately explored for breast cancer risk. METHODS In a case-control study of 200 breast cancer patients and 360 healthy controls, we investigated the asso...
متن کاملTumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes: A Promising Biomarker in Breast Cancer.
There is clear evidence that the immune system plays an essential role in tumor defense. By determining tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), the individual immunological response becomes more apparent and measurable. In breast cancer, high levels of TILs are associated with a more favorable clinical course. In this review, we describe how TILs are determined with emphasis on daily routine dia...
متن کاملRadiosensitizing effects of melatonin on radiation induced chromosomal aberration in G2-lymphocytes of breast cancer patients
Background: Radiotherapy is regarded as a standard treatment modality in breast cancer (BC). Radiation causes cellular damage both in cancer and normal cells by inducing DNA-damage and chromosomal aberrations (CA). Different agents were used for ameliorating effects of radiation, mainly antioxidants such as melatonin. Melatonin shows oncostatic properties on human BC. The aim of this study was ...
متن کاملmicroRNA Expression in Prospectively Collected Blood as a Potential Biomarker of Breast Cancer Risk in the BCFR.
BACKGROUND/AIM Current breast cancer risk assessment models have moderate discriminatory ability. We evaluated whether microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) could be a useful biomarker of risk in high-risk women. MATERIALS AND METHODS Next-generation sequencing evaluated miR expression in PBMCs of 20 women who were unaffected at the time of recruitm...
متن کاملPotasssium transport in human blood lymphocytes treated with phytohemagglutinin.
We have confirmed that phytohemagglutinin (PHA) rapidly enhances the uptake of potassium (K+) by human blood lymphocytes. PHA, however, did not produce an increase in lymphocyte K+ concentration. The apparent steady-state of cell K+ concentration despite the marked increase in uptake of 42K+ could be explained by either an increase in K+-K+ exchange or an increase in concentrative (active) K+ a...
