چکیده مقاله:

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common childhood cancer with a peak incidence in children from 2-5 years old, might be associated with poor prognosis and resistance to therapy in specific cytogenetic backgrounds. FoxO3a, a member of the forkhead class &lsquo;O&rsquo; (FoxO) transcription factors, is a main downstream target of PI3K/AKT pathway which regulates different variety of biological processes and is overactivated in several human cancers. We aimed to evaluate the aberration of the FoxO3a gene in mRNA level in childhood ALL and compare them with healthy controls.&nbsp; Methods: Real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect FOXO3a expression in 30 new cases of pediatric ALL and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy children as the control group.&nbsp; Results: the expression level of the FoxO3a gene was significantly lower in ALL patients compared to healthy controls (P<0.0001), while no difference was observed between the two sub-types B- and T-ALL.&nbsp; Conclusion: Our study suggested that decreased FoxO3a expression may play an important role in the development of pediatric ALL. FoxO3a could be considered as a molecular target of therapy in ALL malignancy.

Expression of ROR1 Gene in Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) results from genetic alterations in a single lymphoid progenitor cell. Expression of ROR1 is reported to be increased in ALL and mantle cell lymphoma. In this study the expression of ROR1 was assessed in newly diagnosed patients with ALL.  Methods: This study was carried out on 40 patients with newly diagnosed ALL and healthy individuals as contro...

UBE2Q1, as Down Regulated Gene in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Ubiquitin - proteasome system (UPS), the major protein degradation pathway in the cells, typically degrades short - lived and damaged proteins and regulates growth and stress responses. This pathway is altered in various cancers, including Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). ALL begins with a change in bone marrow cells and is the most common type of leukemia in children under 15 years. UBE2Q1...

Association of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and MDR1 Gene Polymorphism in an Ethnic Iranian Population

Background: The frequency of the multi-drug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene C3435T polymorphism differs in various ethnical populations such as Asian, African, and Caucasians populations. A silent C3435T polymorphism in exon 26 of MDR1 has been reported to be associated with a decreased expression of P-gp in TT genotypes carriers compared with CC genotypes carriers. Materials and Methods: To evaluate ...

Analysis of BAALC gene Expression as prognosis factor in Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Iran

Background:Brain and Acute Leukemia Cytoplasmic (BAALC) is a gene which its expression is confined to progenitor cells; therefore, no expression has been illustrated in mature cells of bone marrow or white blood cells (WBC).&nbsp; In addition, high BAALC expression is associated with poor prognosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) individuals and is considered as an important risk factor in Cyto...

Study of Gene Expression Signatures for the Diagnosis of Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Through Gene Expression Array Analyses

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as the most common malignancy in children is associated with high mortality and significant relapse. Currently, the non-invasive diagnosis of pediatric ALL is a main challenge in the early detection of patients. In the present study, a systems biology approach was used through network-based analysis to identify the key candidate genes related to AL...
