چکیده مقاله:

In the recent years deregulation for microRNAs expression pattern have emerged as a possible molecular factor for carcinogenesis. It has been reported that the expression of miR-9 was down-regulated in human gastric adenocarcinoma. To figure out the molecular mechanism of this down regulation, the methylation status in promoters of miR-9 family loci were compared in the human gastric adenocarcinoma samples with their normal margins. Using a methylation specific PCR technique the methylation status of miR-9 family loci were compared between 30 pairs of primary human gastric adenocarcinoma samples with their normal margins. The methylation of miR 9-1 status showed no specific difference in promoter methylation pattern in tumor and normal specimens, while in the miR-9-2 locus were unmethylated in both types of tissues. The promoter of miR-9-3 locus seems to be specifically methylated in tumor and their normal margin tissues. Our data revealed methylation of these CpG islands were not meaningfully different between normal and tumor gastric adenocarcinoma specimens and the methylation status of promoter may not be able to account for alteration of miR-9 expression in this type of gastric cancer.

Performance of methylation and expression fluctuations of sonic hedgehog genes in gastric adenocarcinoma

Gastric cancer (GC) is considered as one of the most serious cancers, and in Iran, due to environmental factors in different regions, it has a high frequency. Apart from environmental factors, genetic and epigenetic ones also play a key role in the development of carcinogenesis of GC. In this regard, the study of functioning of the molecular mechanisms involved in the carcinogenesis and also tu...

Predicting methylation status of CpG islands in the human brain

MOTIVATION Over 50% of human genes contain CpG islands in their 5'-regions. Methylation patterns of CpG islands are involved in tissue-specific gene expression and regulation. Mis-epigenetic silencing associated with aberrant CpG island methylation is one mechanism leading to the loss of tumor suppressor functions in cancer cells. Large-scale experimental detection of DNA methylation is still b...
