p53 aberrations are early events in the pathogenesis of betel- and tobacco-related oral malignancies. Accumulation of p53 protein in oral lesions may elicit a humoral immune response against p53 protein in these patients. p53 antibodies (Abs) were analyzed in 183 sera obtained from patients with premalignant or malignant oral lesions and normal individuals by enzyme-linked immunoassay using rec...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the deadliest cranial tumors occurring in adults. Various biomarkers have been tested for their significance diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment GBM. Some well-studied markers GBM are Isocitrate dehydrogenase1 (IDH1), Murine double minute2 (MDM2), Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) p53. The aim this study was to investigate protein expression these patients Pak...

cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) has a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of the lung cancer. it is known that cox-2 negatively regulates the activity of a number of tumor suppressors, including p53. consequently, inhibition of cox-2 signaling is anticipated to be a promising approach to stabilize p53 functionality. in this regard, we investigated the effect of cox-2 signaling blockade on p53 and cox-2 e...

The insertion of irrigated perimeters and the intensive use pesticides made Baixo Jaguaribe region one most critical areas agribusiness in Ceará. However, excessive has been associated with increased cases premature births, congenital malformations mainly neoplasms, especially penile cancer. Objective: To characterize silico triazine group used Jaguaribe-Apodi Irrigated Perimeter to investigate...

       Many studies have proved that the dietary micronutrient has an inhibitory effect against experimentally induced rat hepatocarcinogenesis. The present work is an attempt to understand combined effect of selenium (Se) and vitamin D3 (vit D3) on some potential protein expression markers of carcinogenesis, such as metallothionein (MT), P53 and antioxidant levels during ...

BACKGROUND The transcriptional activation function of the p53 tumour suppressor protein is induced by DNA damage and results in growth arrest and/or apoptotic responses. A key component of this response is the dramatic rise in p53 protein concentration resulting from an increase in the protein's stability. Very recently, it has been suggested that interaction with the Mdm2 protein may target p5...

Objective(s): The significant contribution of nanoparticles to cancer treatment has attracted therapeutic attention. The present study aimed to evaluate the synergistic effects of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as multimodal drug delivery on human breast cancer MCF-7 cells.Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro study, the impact of 5-FU and ZnO NPs in the sin...

Over 50% cancer bears TP53 mutation, the highly stabilized mutant p53 protein drives tumorigenesis and progression. Mutation of not only cause loss-of-function dominant-negative effects (DNE), but also results in abnormal stability by regulation ubiquitin-proteasome system molecular chaperones that promote through gain-of-function effects. The accumulation is mainly regulated chaperones, includ...
