رابطه مقادیر فولات، ویتامین ب12 و هموسیستئین تام پلاسما با هیپرمتیلاسیون ژن رتینوئیک اسید رسپتور- بتا2 وابسته به سن در مبتلایان به سرطان پستان
Background & Objectives: The repression of retinoic acid receptor-β2 (RARβ2) expression is a concerning aspect of breast cancer, which is often induced by hypermethylation at promoter of the gene. We aimed to explore the correlation of plasma folate, vitamin B12 and total homocysteine (tHcy) levels with hypermethylation status of RARβ2 gene among Iranian breast cancer patients. Methods: The...
متن کاملReversal of hypermethylation and reactivation of the RARβ2 gene by natural compounds in cervical cancer cell lines.
Reactivation of tumour suppressor genes that have been silenced by promoter methylation is a very attractive molecular target for cancer therapy. The treatment of a squamous cervical cancer cell line, SiHa, with 20 μM curcumin and genistein resulted in demethylation of promoter of the RARβ2 gene and led to the reactivation of the gene. The degree of methylation as observed by MSP decreased as t...
متن کاملRARβ2 is required for vertebrate somitogenesis.
During vertebrate somitogenesis, retinoic acid is known to establish the position of the determination wavefront, controlling where new somites are permitted to form along the anteroposterior body axis. Less is understood about how RAR regulates somite patterning, rostral-caudal boundary setting, specialization of myotome subdivisions or the specific RAR subtype that is required for somite patt...
متن کاملQuantitative RARbeta2 hypermethylation: a promising prostate cancer marker.
Retinoic acid receptor beta2 (RARbeta2) is a tumor suppressor gene frequently hypermethylated in several human neoplasms. To further characterize this epigenetic alteration in prostate cancer progression, we examined tumor tissue from 118 patients with prostate carcinoma (PCa), 38 paired high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasias (HGPIN), and non-neoplastic prostate tissue from 30 patients...
متن کاملDetecting cervical cancer by quantitative promoter hypermethylation assay on cervical scrapings: a feasibility study.
Current morphology-based cervical cancer screening is associated with significant false-positive and false-negative results. Tumor suppressor gene hypermethylation is frequently present in cervical cancer. It is unknown whether a cervical scraping reflects the methylation status of the underlying epithelium, and it is therefore unclear whether quantitative hypermethylation specific PCR (QMSP) o...
