| 1 | DNA and histone methylation in gastric carcinogenesis显示文摘Epigenetic alterations contribute significantly to the development and progression of gastric cancer,one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide.Epigenetics refers to the number of modifications of the chromatin structure that affect gene expression without altering the primary sequence of DNA,and these changes lead to transcriptional activation or silencing of the gene.Over the years,the study of epigenetic processes has increased,and novel therapeutic approaches that target DNA methylation and histone modifications have emerged.A greater understanding of epigenetics and the therapeutic potential of manipulating these processes is necessary for gastric cancer treatment.Here,we review recent research on the effects of aberrant DNA and histone methylation on the onset and progression of gastric tumors and the development of compounds that target enzymes that regulate the epigenome. | Danielle Queiroz Calcagno Carolina Oliveira Gigek Elizabeth Suchi Chen Rommel Rodriguez Burbano Marília de Arruda Cardoso Smith | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,8: | 14 |
| 2 | Interrelationship between chromosome 8 aneuploidy,C-MYC amplification and increased expression in individuals from northern Brazil with gastric adenocarcinoma显示文摘AIM: To investigate chromosome 8 numerical aberra- tions, C-MYC oncogene alterations and its expression in gastric cancer and to correlate these findings with histo- pathological characteristics of gastric tumors. METHODS: Specimens were collected surgically from seven patients with gastric adenocarcinomas. Immu- nostaining for C-MYC and dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for C-MYC gene and chromosome 8 centromere were performed. RESULTS: All the cases showed chromosome 8 aneu- ploidy and C-MYC amplification, in both the diffuse and intestinal histopathological types of Lauren. No significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed between the level ofchromosome 8 ploidy and the site, stage or histological type of the adenocarcinomas. C-MYC high amplification, like homogeneously stained regions (HSRs) and double minutes (DMs), was observed only in the intestinal-type. Structural rearrangement of C-MYC, like translocation, was observed only in the diffuse type. Regarding C-MYC gene, a significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed between the two histological types. The C-MYC protein was expressed in all the studied cases. In the intestinal- type the C-MYC immunoreactivity was localized only in the nucleus and in the diffuse type in the nucleus and cytoplasm. CONCLUSION: Distinct patterns of alterations between intestinal and diffuse types of gastric tumors support the hypothesis that these types follow different genetic path- ways. | Danielle Queiroz Calcagno Mariana Ferreira Leal Aline Damaceno Seabra Andre Salim Khayat Elizabeth Suchi Chen Samia Demachki Paulo Pimentel Assumpcao Mario Henrique Girao Faria Silvia Helena Barem Rabenhorst Márcia Valéria Pitombeira Ferreira Marília de Arruda Cardoso Smith Rommel Rodríguez Burbano | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,38: | 9 |
| 3 | Reference genes for quantitative RT-PCR data in gastric tissues and cell lines显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the suitability of reference genes in gastric tissue samples and cell lines.METHODS:The suitability of genes ACTB,B2M,GAPDH,RPL29,and 18S rRNA was assessed in21 matched pairs of neoplastic and adjacent nonneoplastic gastric tissues from patients with gastric adenocarcinoma,27 normal gastric tissues from patients without cancer,and 4 cell lines using reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).The ranking of the best single and combination of reference genes was determined by NormFinder,geNorm,BestKeeper,and DataAssist.In addition,GenEx software was used to determine the optimal number of reference genes.To validate the results,the mRNA expression of a target gene,DNMT1,was quantified using the different reference gene combinations suggested by the various software packages for normalization.RESULTS:ACTB was the best reference gene for all gastric tissues,cell lines and all gastric tissues plus cell lines.GAPDH+B2M or ACTB+B2M was the best combination of reference genes for all the gastric tissues.On the other hand,ACTB+B2M was the best combination for all the cell lines tested and was also the best combination for analyses involving all the gastric tissues plus cell lines.According to the GenEx software,2 or 3 genes were the optimal number of references genes for all the gastric tissues.The relative quantification of DNMT1 showed similar patterns when normalized by each combination of reference genes.The level of expression of DNMT1 in neoplastic,adjacent non-neoplastic and normal gastric tissues did not differ when these samples were normalized using GAPDH+B2M(P=0.32),ACTB+B2M(P=0.61),or GAPDH+B2M+ACTB(P=0.44).CONCLUSION:GAPDH+B2M or ACTB+B2M is the best combination of reference gene for all the gastric tissues,and ACTB+B2M is the best combination for the cell lines tested. | Fernanda Wisnieski Danielle Queiroz Calcagno Mariana Ferreira Leal Leonardo Caires dos Santos Carolina de Oliveira Gigek Elizabeth Suchi Chen Thaís Brilhante Pontes Paulo Pimentel Assumpo Mnica Barauna de Assumpo Smia Demachki Rommel Rodríguez Burbano Marília de Arruda Cardoso Smith | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,41: | 0 |
| 4 | Identification of IL11RA and MELK amplification in gastric cancer by comprehensive genomic profiling of gastric cancer cell lines显示文摘AIM To identify common copy number alterations on gastric cancer cell lines.METHODS Four gastric cancer cell lines(ACP02, ACP03, AGP01 and PG100) underwent chromosomal comparative genome hybridization and array comparative genome hybridization. We also confirmed the results by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis using the bacterial artificial chromosome clone and quantitative real time PCR analysis.RESULTS The amplification of 9p13.3 was detected in all cell lines by both methodologies. An increase in the copy number of 9p13.3 was also confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis. Moreover, the interleukin 11 receptor alpha(IL11RA) and maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase(MELK) genes, which are present in the 9p13.3 amplicon, revealed gains of the MELK gene in all the cell lines studied. Additionally, a gain in the copy number of IL11 RA and MELK was observed in 19.1%(13/68) and 55.9%(38/68) of primary gastric adenocarcinoma samples, respectively. CONCLUSION The characterization of a small gain region at 9p13.3 in gastric cancer cell lines and primary gastric adenocarcinoma samples has revealed MELK as a candidate target gene that is possibly related to the development of gastric cancer. | Danielle Queiroz Calcagno Sylvia Santomi Takeno Carolina Oliveira Gigek Mariana Ferreira Leal Fernanda Wisnieski Elizabeth Suchi Chen Taíssa Maíra Thomaz Araújo Eleonidas Moura Lima Maria Isabel Melaragno Samia Demachki Paulo Pimentel Assumpcao Rommel Rodriguez Burbano Marília Cardoso Smith | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,43: | 0 |
