Interleukin-10 Promoter Polymorphisms and Breast Cancer Risk in Iranian Women
Background: IL-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine which is involved in tumorigenesis. Over production of IL-10 and elevated number of IL-10 generating mononuclear cells in breast tumor tissue has already been shown. Objective: To determine the association of IL-10 promoter polymorphisms with increased risk of breast cancer and its association with breast cancer prognostic factors. Methods: Per...
متن کاملAssociation between Polymorphisms of X-ray Repair Cross Complementing 5 and 6 Promoter Genes and the Risk of Metastatic Breast Cancer
Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Better individualized treatment needs novel prognostic predictors. X-ray repair cross complementing XRCC5 and XRCC6 are coding genes of the Ku protein complex (key components of the non-homologous end-joining [NHEJ] pathway), which could serve as prognostic factors in breast cancer. Hence, in t...
متن کاملFunctional Polymorphisms in the TERT Promoter Are Associated with Risk of Serous Epithelial Ovarian and Breast Cancers
Genetic variation at the TERT-CLPTM1L locus at 5p15.33 is associated with susceptibility to several cancers, including epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We have carried out fine-mapping of this region in EOC which implicates an association with a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the TERT promoter. We demonstrate that the minor alleles at rs2736109, and at an additional TERT promoter S...
متن کاملThe Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 Functional 5A/6A Promoter Polymorphism in Tumor Cell Progression and Metastasis of Breast Cancer
In the human genome, chromosome 11 contains a cluster of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region of MMP genes are important for MMP expression. A common adenine deletion polymorphism (5A) at position -1171 of the MMP-3 gene promoter (5´-AAAAAACCAT-3´ change to 5´-AAAAACCAT-3´) facilitates transcriptional factor binding and MMP-3 promoter acti...
متن کاملLack of an Association between a Functional Polymorphism in the MDM2 Promoter and Breast Cancer in Women in Northeast Iran
Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide. Tumor protein 53 (TP53) and its regulator the mouse double murine 2 (MDM2) have important roles in tumorigenesis by playing key roles in cell division and response to DNA damage. MDM2 SNP309 T>G (rs2279744) polymorphism in the promoter region of MDM2 gene can cause dysfunction and inactivation of TP53 which promo...
