Hepatocellular carcinoma represents the most common primary malignancy of the liver and the fifth most common solid tumor worldwide. Highly lethal, remais a serious public health problem because of difficulties in early diagnosis and the development of effective therapeutic measures. Recent in the field of molecular biology studies suggest that define the profile of miRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma may considerably influence the identification of risk factors associated with oncogenes and suppressor genes. The objective is to evaluate the expression of miRNA 135b, miRNA 181a-5p and miRNA 181a-3p in samples of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Chronic Hepatitis C and correlate them so likely to seek biomarkers related to the mechanism of carcinogenesis. The research was done in six patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and twenty four cases of Chronic Hepatitis C, Para, northen Brazil. All samples Hepatocellular carcinoma underwent microdissection for subsequent RNA extraction. For the extraction of total RNA and microRNA All=Prep the DNA / RNA FFPE kit (quiagem), quantified by the Qubit® 2.0 Fluorometer (Invitrogen) for final concentration of 5ng/μL standard equipment was used. The cDNA was obtained using TaqMan® MicroRNA Reverse Transcription (Applied Biosystems). Statistical analyzes were performed in softwares SPSS 17.0, using the Mann-Whitney test, with significat differences in the expression levels of the miR181a-3p and miR 181a-5p in hepatocellular carcinoma (average 3.94 and 17.9, respectively) compared with chronic hepatitis C (average 1.18 to 1.8, respectively) with P-value of 0.005 and 0.003. In this study, it was observed that miRNAs 181a-3p and 181a-5p, especially the 181a-5p way were significantly more highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma samples when compared to non-tumor liver tissue with chronic hepatitis C. Therefore, microRNAs have interesting characteristics that favor them as possible in biological screening for early diagnosis of tumors and targeted therapies selected markers.

Análise de componentes principais de variáveis nutricionais e de polimorfismos nos genes MDM2, XRCC1 E MTHFR como fatores de risco para Carcinoma Hepatocelular em pacientes com Hepatite C Crônica

Introduction: Liver diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Hepatitis C is present in approximately 20% of cases of acute hepatitis and 70% of cases of chronic hepatitis. E has been associated with the presence of accumulation of intrahepatic lipids (fatty liver) and it often progresses to development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of liver transplantation. Objective: To evaluate the relationship of nutritional variables and polymorphisms of MDM2 gene, MTHFR and XRCC1 with risk to HCC in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Methods: case - control performed with patients with chronic hepatitis C. Cases were patients with chronic HCV infection, those with positive anti-HCV and HCV-RNA for six months or more since the detection of the infection within the clinical presentation parameters. They considered participants in the control group healthy subjects aged> 20 years, of both sexes. They were invited to participate in the voluntary survey. We used a nutritional assessment questionnaire. The presence of MDM2 polymorphisms (rs3730485) was investigated; XRCC1 (rs3213239) and MTHFR (rs1801133). It used the Fisher's exact test, odds ratio, and analysis of Principal Components. Results: For genotyping, it was found similarity in frequency of polymorphisms of MTHFR genes XRCC1 and MDM2 in both groups. The odds ratios that had significant p values were low fruit intake, physical inactivity and BMI> 25 kg / m². The results of principal component analysis are indicative that there are at least three pathophysiologic processes that operate in the cluster of risk factors for HCC, and are strongly related to body fat, alcohol consumption and low consumption of fruits. Conclusion: The patients evaluated aggregate risk factors for the development of HCC.
