Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Associação do perfil de acetilação lenta do gene NAT2 na susceptibilidade ao câncer, na Região Norte do Brasil(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-04-10) FERNANDES, Marianne Rodrigues; SANTOS, Ney Pereira Carneiro dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1290427033107137; BURBANO, Rommel Mario Rodriguéz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4362051219348099Objectives: The N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) gene is a marker for the study of interindividual susceptibility to develop malignant neoplasms, once the enzyme NAT2 takes part in the metabolism of carcinogenic agents and the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of its gene produces enzymes with different activities, leading to either slow or fast acetylation of xenobiotics. The purpose of this study was to investigate a possible association between the NAT2 gene SNPS and susceptibility to the involvement of gastric adenocarcinoma or invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast in patients of northern Brazil. Methods: Five polymorphisms of great importance for defining the metabolism profile of enzyme NAT2 (C282T, T341C, C481T, A803G and G857A) were investigated by direct sequencing of 986 base pairs, amplified in two PCR reactions, totalizing 133 patients with neoplasms (63 with Gastric Cancer-GC and 70 with Breast Cancer-BC) and 89 Control subjects. In order to avoid spurious interpretations resulting from the population substructure, we used a panei with 48 ancestry informative markers (AIM). Results: We found statistical differences for African and European parental contribution when compared between the Cancer and Control groups; a higher African contribution was detected in the study group with Cancer and, in the control group, it was detected a higher European contribution (p<0.001). Dominating polymorph genotypes C282T (TT + CT) showed significant association (p<0.001; OR 3.076; Cl 95% 1.664-5.687) for susceptibility to the different forms of Cancer investigated. A significant association of slow and fast acetylation profile with the susceptibility to develop the investigated neoplasms was noticed (p=0.010; OR 3.054; Cl 95% 1.303-7.159) and (p= 0.041; OR 0.527 Cl 95% 0.280-0.973) clearly showing that individuais with slow acetylator profile showed a risk of developing neoplasms increased to up to three times when compared to Control subjects. Conclusions: Ancestry genomic control was effectively important for this investigation and enabled the control of the ancestry effect on the association of NAT2 gene for susceptibility to cancer. In this study, it was possible to prove the strong influence of xenobiotics slow acetylation profile on the susceptibility to GC and BC.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Expressão diferencial de genes regulados pelo MYC em linhagens de câncer gástrico(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018) PESSOA, Carla Mariana Ferreira; BURBANO, Rommel Mario Rodriguéz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4362051219348099MYC is an oncogene responsible for excessive cell growth in cancer, allowing the transcriptional activation of genes involved in cell cycle regulation, metabolism and apoptosis, and is generally overexpressed in Gastric Cancer (GC). Using siRNA and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), we identified the Genes Differential Expression (DEGs) regulated by MYC in three Brazilian cell lines of GC represented by the diffuse, intestinal and metastatic histological subtypes, and later integrated these data with a computational gene enrichment with the GSEA (Gene Set Enrichment Analysis) tool. We identified a total of 5,471 DEGs with a high correlation (80%). The silencing of MYC by siRNA in diffuse and metastatic CG cell lines resulted in an increase in the number of DEGs with decreased expression, while in intestinal-type lineage they exhibited a greater amount of DEGs with an increased expression profile. From gene enrichment, using our sequenced samples compared to the hallmark gene sets, we found 11 significant sets of genes enriched mainly in the following categories of processes: proliferation, pathway, metabolic signaling and DNA damage. Subsequently, DEGs were enriched in the metabolic pathways of the KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) database, and 12 enriched pathways were found that added a variety of biological functions, and three of them were common to all three cell lines of GC: ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, ribosomes, system and epithelial cell signaling in Helicobacter pylori infection. In this study, GC cell lines shared 14 genes regulated by MYC, but their gene expression profile was different for each histological subtype. Therefore, the results of the in silico analysis of this study revealed expression signatures related to MYC in GC. Thus, we present evidence that these CG cell lines, represented by distinct histological subtypes, have different expression profiles regulated by MYC, but share a common nucleus of genes with altered profiles. This is an important step towards understanding the role of MYC in gastric carcinogenesis, as well as an indication of probable new drug targets in stomach cancer.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Investigação de polimorfismos nos genes XRCC1, MTHFR e EGFR como possíveis marcadores de suscetibilidade ao câncer, na população de Belém-PA(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-04-08) VIEIRA, Priscilla Cristina Moura; BURBANO, Rommel Mario Rodriguéz; SANTOS, Ney Pereira Carneiro dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4362051219348099; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1290427033107137Cancer is defined as a multifactorial disease resulting from complex interactions between extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Among the main intrinsic factors are the genetic and/or epigenetic alterations in genes involved with the carcinogenesis process. The identification and characterization of these genes may provide a better understanding of the molecular basis of cancer. Considering the importance of alterations in XRCC1, MRHFR and EGFR genes in various pro-carcinogenic pathways, it is extremely important to investigate the effects of functional polymorphisms in these genes and their molecular consequences in cancer susceptibility.The objective of this study was to identify possible associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) Arg194Trp (XRCC1) e Ala222Val (MTHFR) e Arg521Lys (EGFR) with the development of gastric and breast cancers in the population of Belém-PA, in a case-control study. Furthermore, the control of genomic ancestry was held to avoid spurious results arising from population substructuring in the groups investigated. Molecular analysis of SNPs was carried out by TaqMan. Statistical analyses were performed using the program SPSS v.20 and to estimate the interethnic admixture we used the program STRUCTURE v.2.2. Regarding polymorphisms Arg194Trp, Ala222Val we did not observe any significant association with susceptibility to breast and gastric tumors (P > 0.05).For the polymorphism Arg521Lys, in a first moment (univariate analysis), a significant effect for susceptibility to cancers investigated was found (P = 0.037). However, after genomic control for African and European ancestries, this result has proved to be spurious (P = 0.064). Regarding ancestries, our results showed a strong association of African ancestry with susceptibility to gastric and breast cancers (P = 0.010, OR = 76,723; 95% CI = 2.805 - 2098.230) whereas for European contribution a protective effect was found (P = 0.024, OR = 0071, 95% CI = 0.007-0.703). In conclusion, our study presented the evidence that the African and European genomic ancestries are important factors related to susceptibility to gastric and breast cancers. Regarding Arg521Ly polymorphism, further studies are necessary to confirm whether the association is indeed spurious.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Perfil mutacional do gene APC em pacientes com polipose adenomatosa familial no estado do Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-01-22) CAVALLERO, Sandro Roberto de Araújo; BURBANO, Rommel Mario Rodriguéz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4362051219348099Colorectal cancer is a serious public health problem in the northern region of the country, being the third most common cancer among men and the second among women. About 10% of these tumors are hereditary and familial adenomatous polyposis are among the main causes of these. Mutax APC gene is responsible for the development of tumors in these patients and is present from a very early stage in carcinogenesis, in addition, there is a relationship between the type of mutation and clinical presentation of the disease. To date there is no publication with the profile of the APC gene mutation in the northern region of the country. This work aims to identify the profile of mutations in the APC gene families in the state of Pará. A total of 15 patients were analyzed from five families, all attended in the Unacon HUJBB. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and performed a direct sequencing in one member of each family, thus obtaining a molecular screening and other family members were genotyped by ARMS technique. Statistical analysis was performed by the software that came with the product itself . In this study, mutations were found in all 15 patients studied (from 5 families), 40 % of which were frameshift, 35 % were silencing and 20 % nonsense . Since 60 % of all mutations occurred in the MCR region. Among the three most frequent mutations in the literature , this study found two : codon 1309 (in 40 % of subjects) and in codon 1061 (10 % of subjects) . These numbers were very different from those found in the literature, reinforcing the role of miscegenation in the frequency of mutations. Only c.3956delC mutation was found in all families , which can behave as a strong biomarker of this syndrome . The clinical evaluation of patients confirmed the genotype / phenotype correlation , being a determining factor for clinical guidance and genetic counseling . The plataform for analysis of mutations by ARMS technique will be very useful , since it was able to detect mutations in all 15 subjects studied at a lower cost than direct PCR sequencing.
