objectives and background: mutation directed inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene p53 have been found incountries with high frequency for hepatocellular carcinomas (hccs). our goal in the present study was screening of the p53 gene in tumor tissues from hcc affected individuals in southwest iran for putative mutations in exons 7 and 8 that are known as hot spot regions. materials & met...

background: colorectal cancer (crc) is a common and lethal malignancy worldwide. the incident rate of crc is different in various geographica regions. crc is a multifactorial disease; the factors involved included dietary and genetic factors. p53 gene is the most important tumor suppressor gene which involved in many cancers. the mutation rate in exons 7 and 8 of p53 gene in crc was reported to...

objective(s) p53 is an important tumor suppressor, which is mutated in later stages of many cancers and leads to resistance to chemotherapy. the aim of this study was to reveal mutations of tp53 in colorectal cancer in kerman province. materials and methods a total of forty-three colon cancer specimens as paraffin block or fresh tissues, which passed stage iiia, were selected. three exons 5, 7 ...

Background &Aims: Laryngeal cancer is the second common cancer of respiratory tract, following the lung cancer. Carcinogenesis is a complex multistage process; molecular genetics has provided the evidence that activation of proto-oncogene and loss or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes (TSG) are involved in a large number of malignancies. One of the earliest significant tumor suppressor gene...

Background: Mutation of p53 is a frequent event, and mutant exhibits low levels acetylation phosphorylation. This study aimed to investigate the effect histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR), on phosphorylation carcinoma cells its therapeutic effects in xenograft model. Methods: To determine 4HR p53, western blot analysis was performed using YD-9 YD-15 cells. siRNA used e...

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...

introduction : pancreatic cancer has not been well studied, especially in developing countries. materials and methods : we studied the variations in genetic mutations in pancreatic adenocarcinoma between moroccan and egyptian populations. the molecular pathology of 30 tumors from a large hospital in casablanca, morocco were examined and compared with the findings of 44 tumors from the gharbiah ...
