1. Identification of novel mutations of Insulin Receptor Substrate 1 (IRS1) in tumor samples of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): Implications for aberrant insulin signaling in development of cancer
Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death, and NSCLC constitutes nearly 85%–90% of all cases. The IRS proteins function as adaptors and transmit signals from multiple receptors. Upon binding of insulin to the insulin receptor (IR), IRS1 is phosphorylated at several YXXM motifs creating docking sites for the binding of PI3Kp85, which

2. Assessment of genetic mutation frequency induced by oxidative stress in Trypanosoma cruzi
Abstract Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiological agent of Chagas disease, a public health challenge due to its morbidity and mortality rates, which affects around 6-7 million people worldwide. Symptoms, response to chemotherapy, and the course of Chagas disease are greatly influenced by T. cruzi‘s intra-specific variability. Thus, DNA mutations in this parasi

3. Radiotherapy modulates expression of EGFR, ERCC1 and p53 in cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is a public health problem and the molecular mechanisms underlying radioresistance are still poorly understood. Here, we evaluated the modulation of key molecules involved in cell proliferation, cell cycle and DNA repair in cervical cancer cell lines (CASKI and C33A) and in malignant tissues biopsied from 10 patients before and after radiothe

4. An activating mutation in the CRHR1 gene is rarely associated with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism in poodles
OBJECTIVES: Pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism is the most common cause of naturally occurring hypercortisolism in dogs. CRHR1 expression in human and dog corticotrophinomas suggested that this gene affects pituitary tumorigenesis. The present study aimed to investigate mutations in the CRHR1 coding region in poodles with pituitary-dependent hyperadre

5. Permanent neonatal diabetes by a new mutation in KCNJ11: unsuccessful switch to sulfonylurea
Permanent neonatal diabetes (PNDM) can result from activating heterozygous mutations in KCNJ11 gene, encoding the Kir6.2 subunit of the pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP). Sulfonylureas promote KATP closure and stimulate insulin secretion, being an alternative therapy in PNDM, instead of insulin. Male, 20 years old, diagnosed with diabetes at

6. Prima-1 induces apoptosis in bladder cancer cell lines by activating p53
OBJECTIVES: Bladder cancer represents 3% of all carcinomas in the Brazilian population and ranks second in incidence among urological tumors, after prostate cancer. The loss of p53 function is the main genetic alteration related to the development of high-grade muscle-invasive disease. Prima-1 is a small molecule that restores tumor suppressor function to mu

7. Growth hormone response to growth hormone-releasing peptide-2 in growth hormone-deficient Little mice
OBJECTIVE: To investigate a possible direct, growth hormone-releasing, hormone-independent action of a growth hormone secretagogue, GHRP-2, in pituitary somatotroph cells in the presence of inactive growth hormonereleasing hormone receptors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The responses of serum growth hormone to acutely injected growth hormone-releasing P-2 in lit/l

8. Efeitos de raios-X de baixa energia em células mamárias / Effects of low energy x-rays in mammary cells
Radiation doses of low-energy can induce double-stranded breaks in DNA as well resulting in altered profiles of gene expression related to these injuries. The damage is not repaired or poorly repaired leading to increased susceptibility to oncogenic transformation since most important biological effects caused by ionizing radiation are mutation and carcinoge

9. Influência dos polimofismos de nucleotídeo único (SNPs) da APOBEC3G na dinâmica populacional da infecção pelo HIV-1 / Influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms of APOBEC3G in the population dynamic in the HIV-1 infection
APOBEC3G (A3G) has been described as a cellular factor that inhibits replication of HIV-1. During reverse transcription, A3G promotes deamination of cytidine to uracil in the minus strand viral DNA, inducing hypermutation of guanines to adenines in plus strand DNA. The HIV-1 counters this effect by the activity of the viral protein Vif, which counteracts A3G

10. Molecular and cellular pathogenesis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common human life-threatening monogenic disorders. The disease is characterized by bilateral, progressive renal cystogenesis and cyst and kidney enlargement, often leading to end-stage renal disease, and may include extrarenal manifestations. ADPKD is caused by mutation in one of two gen

11. Hydrogen peroxide induces a specific DNA base change profile in the presence of the iron chelator 2,2’ dipyridyl in Escherichia coli
Pretreatment of Escherichia coli cultures with the iron chelator 2,2’-dipyridyl (1 mM) protects against the lethal effects of low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (<15 mM). However, at H2O2 concentrations equal to or greater than 15 mM, dipyridyl pretreatment increases lethality and mutagenesis, which is attributed to the formation of different types of

12. Study of modulators genes associated to mutations in mitochondrial genes in individuals with non-syndromic deafness / Estudos de genes moduladores associados a mutações em genes mitocondriais em individuos com surdez não-sindromica
Hearing loss is the most prevalent sensorial deficit in the general population. Congenital deafness occurs in about 1 in 1000 live births, of which approximately 50% has hereditary cause in development countries. Non-syndromic deafness can be caused by mutations in both nuclear and mitochondrial genes. Mutations in mtDNA have been associated with aminoglycos
