A progressão para as lesões invasoras está associada à imunidade do hospedeiro, dentre as quais, a interferência no processo de apoptose celular. Entre os vários genes associados à morte celular, o gene FAS parece ser um elemento importante. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar se há uma associação do polimorfismo da região promotora -670 do gene FAS com a NIC 3 e o carcinoma invasivo do colo do útero. Métodos: A avaliação da presença do polimorfismo do gene FAS foi realizada através da Técnica de PCR e RFLP em amostras de sangue para o grupo controle (225 amostras) e de tecido cervical para o grupo de casos, com NIC 3 (75 casos) e carcinoma invasor (214 casos). A análise estatística foi realizada através do cálculo do Teste Exato de Fisher, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney e Qui-Quadrado, sendo considerado o valor de significância de 5% ou p<0,05. Resultados: O genótipo heterozigoto (AG) do gene FAS -670 foi significativamente mais frequente no grupo de mulheres com NIC 3, com um risco estimado de 3 vezes (OR=3,0; 95% IC: 1,29-7,16), quando ajustado a idade. Não houve diferença, porém, tanto no grupo controle quanto nas mulheres com carcinoma cervical. Nenhum genótipo esteve associado a um maior risco de NIC 3 ou câncer quando comparamos idade e etnia. Nas mulheres com câncer, os genótipos foram semelhantes nos diferentes tipos histológicos (epidermóide e adenocarcinoma) e grau de diferenciação tumoral. Avaliando a distribuição alélica (A e G), não observamos diferença na frequência dos alelos nos grupos estudados. Conclusão: O polimorfismo da região promotora do gene FAS -670 esteve associado a um risco maior de lesão intraepitelial de alto grau (NIC 3), mas não para o câncer invasor do colo do útero, quando comparados ao grupo controle. / Objective: The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the etiologic agent of cervical cancer, but alone it is incapable of inducing oncogenesis. Rather, progression to invasive lesions is associated with host immunity and interference in the process of cellular apoptosis. Among the several genes involved in cell death, the FAS gene appears to be an important factor. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is an association between polymorphisms of the FAS -670 gene promoter region and preinvasive and invasive lesions of the cervix. Methods: The FAS gene was evaluated for the presence of polymorphisms using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques in 225 blood samples for the control group, as well as cervical tissue from patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN 3; 75 cases) or invasive carcinoma (214 cases). Results: The heterozygous genotype (AG) of the FAS -670 gene promoter region was significantly more frequent in women with CIN 3, with an estimated risk of three times (OR=3.0; 95% CI: 1.29 to 7.16). No difference, however, was observed in the control group and women with cervical cancer. In women with cancer, the genotypes were similar in the different histological types and degree of tumor differentiation. Assessing allelic distribution (A or G), we observed no difference in frequency of allele in studied groups. Conclusion: Polymorphism of the promoter region of the FAS -670 gene was associated with increased risk of CIN 3, but not for invasive cancer of the cervix when compared to the control group. / TEDE / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

"Expressão das proteínas Fas e Bcl-2 em células mononucleares de crianças e adolescentes com lúpus eritematoso sistêmico" / Expression of Fas and Bcl-2 proteins on mononuclear cells from children and adolescents with systemic lupus erythematosus

Bernadete de Lourdes Liphaus 08 December 2005 (has links)
Para verificar a expressão das proteínas Fas e Bcl-2 em linfócitos e suas correlações com a atividade da doença foram avaliados 38 pacientes com lúpus eritematoso sistêmico de início na infância e 25 controles sem doença autoimune. Observou-se que as porcentagens de linfócitos T CD3+ e CD8+ e linfócitos B que expressavam a proteína Fas e a intensidade média de fluorescência da proteína Bcl-2 nos linfócitos T CD3+, CD4+ e CD8+ dos pacientes com lúpus foram significativamente maiores quando comparadas aos controles. Os pacientes com doença ativa apresentavam porcentagens de linfócitos B que expressavam a proteína Fas significativamente maiores que os pacientes com doença inativa e os controles e houve correlação direta entre estas porcentagens e o SLEDAI (p=0.02, r=0.38) / In order to verify the expression of Fas and Bcl-2 proteins on lymphocytes and their relationship with disease activity 38 patients with juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus and 25 healthy controls were studied. The measurements showed that percentages of lymphocytes T CD3+ and CD8+ and B lymphocytes positively stained for Fas antigen and mean fluorescence intensity of Bcl-2 on CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from lupus patients were significantly increased compared to healthy controls. Lupus patients with active disease presented percentages of lymphocytes B positive for Fas antigen significantly higher compared to patients with inactive disease and healthy controls and there was a statistically significant direct correlation between these percentages and SLEDAI score (p=0.02, r=0.38).
