Abstract:

Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the main causes of cancer death and the third most common malignant cancer worldwide. FGF14 is a member of the large family of fibroblast growth factors. These factors control a wide range of biological functions, including cell proliferation, survival, migration and differentiation that disturbing their expression can lead to cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the expression of FGF14 in colorectal cancer tissue samples and adjacent healthy tissues. Materials and methods: In this case-control study, 35 patients with colorectal cancer and adjacent tumor tissue were classified based on their clinical and pathological characteristics. The expression was studied by real time PCR reaction method. Results: The relative expression levels of FGF14 in tumoral tissues were shown to be significantly increased compared with their adjacent normal tissues. There was significant correlation between the relative expression level of FGF14 in tumoral tissues and clinicopathological features, such as cancer staging, tumor size, and metastasis. Conclusion: Increased expression of FGF14 in colorectal cancer tissue compared to the adjacent normal tissues is associated with the cancer progression and development relevant clinicopathological features. Therefore, it may play an important role in the pathophysiology of colorectal cancer.

Evaluation of MLL2 (KMT2B) Gene Expression in Colorectal Cancer Tissue Compared with Adjacent Tumor Free Tissue

Background and Aims: An impairment of expression in MLL2 gene involved in histone methylation induces alteration in the methylation patterns at enhancers and causes several cancers including colon cancer. In this study, MLL2 expression was evaluated in North West of Iran. Materials and Methods: To evaluate the MLL2 expression in patients with colon cancer, 25 tumor samples and 25 samples of tu...

The IGSF1, Wnt5a, FGF14, and ITPR1 Gene Expression and Prognosis Hallmark of Prostate Cancer

Background: Prostate cancer is considered as the second leading cause of cancer related death in men worldwide and the third frequent cancer among Iranian men. Despite the use of PSA as the only biomarker for early diagnosis of prostate cancer, its application in clinical settings is under debate. Therefore, the introduction of new molecular markers for early detection of prostate cancer is nee...

Altered expression of Lnc-OC1 and SIRT1 genes in colorectal cancer tissue

Backgrounds: SIRT1 plays an important role in many physiological processes, including metabolism, neuronal protection, senecence and inflammatory, by staging histones and multiple transcription factors. However, the complex mechanisms of SIRT1 signaling in tumors are not yet fully understood, as it acts as both an oncogen and a tumor suppressor. On the other hand, it has been shown that the Lnc...

Effect of Cold Atmospheric Plasma on Gene Expression and Methylation of Genes Involved in Colorectal Cancer

Background and purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is ranked as the second most common cancer in men and the third most common cancer in women worldwide. Routine treatments have many side effects and little efficiency. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) on epigenetic changes of some genes involved in CRC progression. Materials and methods: Prolif...
