Alterações genômicas em tumores de glândulas salivares /

Coelho, Miriam Marangon. January 2009 (has links)
Orientador: Silvia Regina Rogatto / Banca: Edigard Graner / Banca: Claudia Aparecida Rainho / Resumo: Os tumores de glândulas salivares (TGS) são lesões raras que apresentam heterogeneidade morfológica e sobreposição histológica entre os vários subtipos de tumores. Neste estudo foi utilizada a técnica de hibridação genômica comparativa de alta resolução (HR-CGH) em 64 amostras de TGS, incluindo: 27 adenomas pleomórficos (AP); 11 tumores de Warthin (TW); seis carcinomas ex-adenomas pleomórficos (CXAP); seis carcinomas adenóides císticos (CAC); quatro carcinomas mucoepidermóides (CME); três carcinomas ductais salivares (CDS); três adenocarcinomas (ACAR); dois oncocitomas (ON) e dois carcinomas epiteliaismioepiteliais (CEM). Destas, 47 amostras eram provenientes de tecidos fixados em formalina e em blocos de parafina (FFEP) e 17 de tecidos a fresco. Após a microdissecção, o DNA genômico foi amplificado e marcado por técnica baseada na PCR (SCOMP) e por nick translation, respectivamente. Os cromossomos foram cariotipados usando a imagem DAPI invertido e a intensidade do sinal de hibridação foi determinada ao longo de cada cromossomo. Uma biblioteca com amostras de DNA normais foi construída para selecionar os limites superiores e inferiores para perdas e ganhos cromossômicos. Em todos os casos, as perdas genômicas foram observadas mais freqüentemente do que os ganhos. Na análise comparativa das regiões mínimas comuns detectadas pela HR-CGH envolvendo todos os tipos tumorais, foram observadas alterações genômicas comuns aos diversos tipos, como também exclusivas para os diferentes tipos histológicos. As regiões genômicas consistentemente alteradas nos dois subgrupos tumorais com maior número amostral (adenomas pleomórficos e tumores de Warthin) foram investigadas em bancos de dados para a seleção de genes candidatos que pudessem estar relacionados com a etiologia destes tumores. Os genes NEDD9 (6p24-p25), PPARG (3p25) e c-MYC (8q24.21) foram...

In the present study, high resolutioncomparative genomic hybridization (HR-CGH) method was performed in 64 SGT samples, including 27 pleomorphic adenomas (PA), 11 Warthin's tumors (WT), six carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA), six cystic adenocarcinomas (CAC), four mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MEC), three salivary ductal carcinomas (SDC), three adenocarcinomas (ACAR), two oncocitomas (ON), and two epithelium-myoepithelium carcinomas (EMC). Among these samples, 47 were formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded tissues and 17 were fresh tissues. After laser capture microdissection (LCM), the DNA samples were amplified and labeled by PCR-based methods (SCOMP) and nick translation reaction, respectively. Chromosomes were karyotyped based on their inverted DAPI image and the relative hybridization signal intensity was determined along each chromosome. A library with differentially labeled normal samples was built to select the superior and inferior limits for chromosomal gains and losses. Genomic losses were more frequently observed than gains. The comparison among all tumor samples showed common chromosomal imbalances and also exclusive genomic alterations related to the different histological tumor types. Non-random genomic regions involved in pleomorphic adenomas and Warthin's tumors were investigated in databases in order to select candidate genes that could be related to the etiology of these tumors. The NEDD9 (6p24-p25), PPARG (3p25) and c-MYC (8q24.21) genes were selected and the gene transcript levels were evaluated by quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) in PA samples. In accordance to the HR-CGH results, it was observed high transcript levels of NEDD9 in 17 out of 37 PA; low levels of PPARG was detected in 11 out of 36 samples; and high levels...
