Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular genetic analysis of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans was used to identify and study mechanisms of action of negative regulators of tyrosine kinase/RAS mediated signal transduction that are candidate tumor suppressors. A homolog of the proto oncogene cbl, SLI- 1, inhibits Ras activation by the epidermal growth factor receptor homolog LET-23. Three functional domains of SLI-1 have been identified. The ARK-i protein kinase was discovered and shown to inhibit signaling by LET-23. New screens for additional negative regulators have identified at several genes that will be molecularly cloned.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El càncer colorectal és una malaltia causada per canvis genètics i epigenètics. La inactivació de gens supressors de tumors i l'activació d'oncogens són fites clau en la progressió tumoral. Els pacients amb càncer en estadi III o IV són sotmesos a cirurgia seguida de quimioteràpia. No obstant això, només el 30% dels pacients mostren una resposta objectiva fins i tot als millors agents quimioterapèutics disponibles. En aquest estudi es van utilitzar assajos d'alt rendiment de tot el genoma per caracteritzar millor els aspectes importants de la progressió oncogènica, com la desregulació de la proliferació i l'expressió aberrant causada per mecanismes epigenètics. La ràpida proliferació tumoral s'associa al pitjor pronòstic del pacient, aquí hem caracteritzat la signatura transcripcional de les cèl.lules de càncer colorectal amb ràpida proliferació de cèl.lules en un intent d'identificar els gens importants per sostenir el creixement tumoral i que podrien ser utilitzats com a dianes terapèutiques. Per comprendre millor els mecanismes subjacents a la profunda reprogramació transcripcional observada en les cèl.lules canceroses, es va investigar l'associació entre els nivells de metilació de l'ADN en els promotors i els nivells d'expressió d'aquests gens en línies cel.lulars de càncer colorectal. Els resultats d'aquest estudi poden contribuir a la identificació de noves dianes quimioterapèutics per a pacients amb càncer colorectal, i la caracterització de nous gens / vies amb activitat supressora de tumors, que són silenciats epigeneticament.
Download or read book Identification of Novel Tumor Suppressor Genes for Breast Cancer written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chromosomal deletions are very common events in breast cancer. However, no TSGs have been identified from most of recurrent deletions and few identified TSGs do not account for the risk of majority of breast cancer. In additional to the classical TSGs, there are haplo-insufficient TSGs which defy the identification through mutation analysis and may be quite common. By using a new system to generate random chromosomal deletions, we identified a ~3Mbp deletion in mouse chromosome 3, which was associated with tumorigenesis. The expression of Fat4 in the deleted region was inactivated due to promoter methylation in the second allele of Fat4, and the re-expression of Fat4 suppressed the tumorigenecity, suggesting Fat4 as a strong candidate for breast tumor suppressor genes. We also found that Fat4 expression was lost in a high proportion of human breast cancers, some of which were attributed to Fat4 promoter methylation.
Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Download or read book Epigenetics Methods written by Trygve Tollefsbol and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the field of epigenetics has grown significantly, driving new understanding of human developmental processes and disease expression, as well as advances in diagnostics and therapeutics. As the field of epigenetics continues to grow, methods and technologies have multiplied, resulting in a wide range of approaches and tools researchers might employ. Epigenetics Methods offers comprehensive instruction in methods, protocols, and experimental approaches applied in field of epigenetics. Here, across thirty-five chapters, specialists offer step-by-step overviews of methods used to study various epigenetic mechanisms, as employed in basic and translational research. Leading the reader from fundamental to more advanced methods, the book begins with thorough instruction in DNA methylation techniques and gene or locus-specific methylation analyses, followed by histone modification methods, chromatin evaluation, enzyme analyses of histone methylation, and studies of non-coding RNAs as epigenetic modulators. Recently developed techniques and technologies discussed include single-cell epigenomics, epigenetic editing, computational epigenetics, systems biology epigenetic methods, and forensic epigenetic approaches. Epigenetics methods currently in-development, and their implication for future research, are also considered in-depth. In addition, as with the wider life sciences, reproducibility across experiments, labs, and subdisciplines is a growing issue for epigenetics researchers. This volume provides consensus-driven methods instruction and overviews. Tollefsbol and contributing authors survey the range of existing methods; identify best practices, common themes, and challenges; and bring unity of approach to a diverse and ever-evolving field. Includes contributions by leading international investigators involved in epigenetic research and clinical and therapeutic application Integrates technology and translation with fundamental chapters on epigenetics methods, as well as chapters on more novel and advanced epigenetics methods Written at verbal and technical levels that can be understood by scientists and students alike Includes chapters on state-of-the-art techniques such as single-cell epigenomics, use of CRISPR/Cas9 for epigenetic editing, and epigenetics methods applied to forensics

Download or read book Innovative Medicine written by Kazuwa Nakao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to innovative medicine, comprising the proceedings of the Uehara Memorial Foundation Symposium 2014. It remains extremely rare for the findings of basic research to be developed into clinical applications, and it takes a long time for the process to be achieved. The task of advancing the development of basic research into clinical reality lies with translational science, yet the field seems to struggle to find a way to move forward. To create innovative medical technology, many steps need to be taken: development and analysis of optimal animal models of human diseases, elucidation of genomic and epidemiological data, and establishment of “proof of concept”. There is also considerable demand for progress in drug research, new surgical procedures, and new clinical devices and equipment. While the original research target may be rare diseases, it is also important to apply those findings more broadly to common diseases. The book covers a wide range of topics and is organized into three complementary parts. The first part is basic research for innovative medicine, the second is translational research for innovative medicine, and the third is new technology for innovative medicine. This book helps to understand innovative medicine and to make progress in its realization.
