111	Estudo de polimorfismos dos genes EGF e EGFR em astrocitomas difusamente infiltrativos / Polymorphisms of EGF e EGFR genes in diffusely infiltrative astrocytomas Keila Cardoso Barbosa 11 April 2008 (has links) INTRODUÇÃO: Os astrocitomas difusamente infiltrativos são os tumores mais freqüentes de Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC) com uma taxa de 5-7 novos casos por 100.000 pessoas ano. São tumores altamente invasivos e estão associados com alterações de alguns genes como EGF (fator de crescimento epidérmico) e o EGFR (receptor do fator de crescimento epidérmico), que podem criar um aumento da atividade mitogênica, acarretando aumento de proliferação e maturação celular, apoptose, angiogênese e metástase. O nível de expressão destes genes pode ser influenciado por alterações genéticas, como a presença de polimorfismos. Uma mudança única de base (SNP) pode alterar a expressão gênica e, sendo assim, estar associada ao aumento do risco de desenvolver astrocitomas. Nesse trabalho, foram analisados 2 SNPs na região não traduzida (c.-191C>A e c.-216G>T) e um SNP no exon 16 (c.2073A>T) do gene EGFR, e um outro SNP na região não traduzida no gene EGF (c.61A>G). Os SNPs foram associados a expressão gênica do EGFR e a sobrevida dos pacientes. MÈTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo caso-controle com 193 casos de astrocitomas difusamente infiltrativos e 200 controles por amplificação por PCR seguido de digestão enzimática. Os produtos digeridos das amostras foram analisados por eletroforese em gel de agarose e poliacrilamida e corados com brometo de etídeo. A expressão gênica foi realizada após extração de RNA do tecido tumoral seguida de transcrição reversa e PCR em tempo real. Testes de qui-quadrado, odds ratio (OR), intervalo de confiança 95% (IC95%), t de Student e curvas de Kaplan-Meier foram realizados para análises estatística. RESULTADOS: A análise das freqüências dos genótipos dos polimorfismos mostrou uma diferença na distribuição entre casos e controles para o polimorfismo c.2073A>T. Pacientes com o genótipo TT apresentou um menor risco para astrocitoma quando comparados com o genótipo AA (OR=0,51, IC95%=0,29-0,99). Nenhuma correlação foi encontrada para os outros polimorfismos analisados. Também não foi encontrada correlação entre os genótipos dos polimorfismos e os níveis de expressão de EGFR e a sobrevida dos pacientes. CONCLUSÃO: Nosso trabalho mostrou haver um possível fator de proteção quando o paciente é portador do genótipo TT, o que pode levar a uma diminuição do risco de desenvolver o tumor. Pacientes com genótipo TT do polimorfismo c.2073A>T do gene EGFR apresentam um menor risco para astrocitomas difusamente infiltrativos do que os com o genótipo AA. / INTRODUCTION: Diffusely infiltrative astrocytomas are the most frequent tumors of the Central Nervous System (CNS) with a rate of 5-7 new cases in 100,000 individuals per year. They are highly invasive, and they are associated to alterations in some genes as EGF (epidermal growth factor) and EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), which may increase mitogenic activity, leading to increase of proliferation, cellular maturation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Genetic alterations, as presence of polymorphisms of single nucleotide change (SNP) could influence their expression level, and thus could be associated to increased risk in developing astrocytomas. In the present study, two SNP of non-coding region (c.-191C>A and c.-216G>T) and one SNP in exon 16 (c.2073A>T) of EGFR, and another SNP of non-coding region of EGF (c.61A>G) were analyzed. The SNPs were associated to EGFR expression level and to survival time. METHOD: a case-control study of 193 of diffusely infiltrative astrocytomas and 200 controls was carried out, with PCR amplification and enzymatic digestion, which products were analyzed in agarose gel or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis stained by ethidium bromide. EGFR expression level was studied by real time PCR after RNA extraction followed by reverse transcription of tumor tissues compared to epileptic non-neoplastic brain tissues. Stastistical analysis were performed by chi-square, odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (95% CI), Student-t test and Kaplan Meier. RESULTS: The polymorphic genotype frequency was different between case and controls for the polymorphism c.2073A>T. Patients with TT genotype presented lower risk to develop astrocytoma when compared to genotype AA (OR=0.51, CI95%=0.29- 0.99). No other correlation was observed for the remaining studied polymorphisms. There was neither correlation between the polymorphic genotypes and the EGFR expression levels nor with survival time. CONCLUSION: The present study showed a possible protection factor in developing astrocytomas for the patients harboring the genotype TT of c.2073A>T polymorphism of EFGR, thus the patients presenting TT genotype have lower risk to develop diffusely infiltrative astrocytoma than patients presenting the genotype AA.

112	Analyse et méta-analyse des niveaux d'expression d'GF-R, c-erbB-2, Ki-67 et des micro-vaisseaux aux différents stades de développement des cancers bronchiques Meert, Anne-Pascale 28 March 2007 (has links) Dans un premier temps, nous avons réalisé des revues systématiques de la littérature avec méta-analyses des données de survie. Ceci nous a conduits à sélectionner 4 marqueurs de mauvais pronostic pour la survie des CBNPC: le récepteur au facteur de croissance épidermique (EGF-R), un autre récepteur de cette famille (c-erbB-2) ainsi que deux autres facteurs potentiellement témoins de leur activité, Ki-67 (impliqué dans la prolifération) et le nombre des micro-vaisseaux (témoins de la néoangiogenèse).<p>Dans une deuxième phase, nous avons étudié au laboratoire diverses questions sur des tumeurs bronchiques invasives.<p>Premièrement, nous avons investigué le mécanisme de surexpression d’EGF-R et de c-erbB-2 et évalué si des anomalies génétiques pouvaient prédire cette surexpression, en recourant à des techniques d’immunohistochimie et de FISH. Ceci nous a permis d’observer que, si la majorité des CBNPC réséqués présentent des anomalies génétiques d’EGF-R et/ou de c-erbB-2, une amplification de ces gènes n’est présente que dans une minorité d’entre eux et n’est pas strictement corrélée à l’expression protéique. D’autre part, la survie de ces patients exprimant ou ayant une anomalie génique d’EGF-R et/ou c-erbB-2 est plus courte sans atteindre le seuil de signification statistique.<p>Deuxièmement, nous avons recherché sur des tumeurs opérées d’éventuels liens entre les expressions d’EGF-R, de c-erbB-2 et de Ki-67. Aucune corrélation n’a été mise en évidence entre l’expression de ces 3 facteurs. Par contre, chez ces patients, l’expression de Ki-67 dans la tumeur s’est avérée être un facteur de mauvais pronostic pour la survie.<p>Troisièmement, nous avons voulu savoir si un de ces marqueurs (EGF-R) présentait une valeur pronostique dans un groupe plus restreint de tumeurs plus avancées, les CBNPC de stade III. Pour mener cette recherche sur des biopsies, nous avons d’abord démontré que l’évaluation des marqueurs biologiques (EGF-R, c-erbB-2 et Ki-67) sur biopsie ne différait pas de celle réalisée sur des tumeurs réséquées. Comme les résultats étaient équivalents, nous avons pu étudier EGF-R sur les biopsies de CBNPC au stade III et montrer qu’EGF-R n’était pas un facteur pronostique pour la survie dans ce groupe assez homogène de tumeurs avancées.<p>Dans la dernière phase, nous avons étudié des lésions représentatives des différents stades prénéoplasiques et néoplasiques précoces radiooccultes. Ces lésions ont été prélevées lors d’examens endoscopiques de photodétection. EGF-R, c-erbB-2, Ki-67 et le nombre des micro-vaisseaux ont été étudiés par immunohistochimie dans ces différents stades de lésions prénéoplasiques et néoplasiques précoces. Nous avons observé qu’EGF-R et Ki-67 sont statistiquement plus exprimés dans les dysplasies sévères et les carcinomes in que dans les dysplasies légères suggérant que, au moins pour ces 2 marqueurs, les dysplasies sévères se rapprochent plus des carcinomes in situ que des dysplasies légères. Alors que l’expression d’EGF-R est présente dès le stade de dysplasie sévère, une augmentation du nombre des micro-vaisseaux n’est présente qu’au stade de tumeurs micro-invasives. C-erbB-2 n’est quant à lui pas exprimé dans ces lésions bronchiques prénéoplasiques et néoplasiques précoces. <p>En conclusion, les facteurs biologiques, EGF-R, c-erbB-2 et Ki-67 et le nombre des micro-vaisseaux s’avèrent des facteurs de mauvais pronostic dans le CBNPC. La surexpression d’EGF-R et de c-erbB-2 dans les cancers réséqués résulte très rarement d’une amplification génique et nous n’avons pas trouvé dans ces tumeurs de corrélation entre l’expression des marqueurs moléculaires étudiés. Dans les tumeurs plus avancées de stade III, EGF-R n’est pas un facteur discriminant pour le pronostic. Les anomalies de certains de ces marqueurs (EGF-R et Ki-67) apparaissent précocement, dès les stades prénéoplasiques, avec un seuil se situant entre les lésions bronchiques de bas et de haut grades. La néoangiogénèse, évaluée par le nombre des micro-vaisseaux, s’observe à partir des cancers micro-invasifs tandis que c-erbB-2 n’apparaît qu’au stade invasif. Dans la séquence d’apparition des anomalies génétiques conduisant au cancer invasif, l’atteinte d’EGF-R précède la néoangiogénèse.<p> / Doctorat en sciences médicales / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished Médecine pathologie humaine Bronchi -- Cancer Bronchi -- Cancer -- Etiology Bronchi -- Precancerous conditions Neovascularization Bronches -- Cancer Bronches -- Cancer -- Etiologie Bronches -- Etats précancéreux Néovascularisation carcinogenèse bronchique Ki-67 angiogenèse c-erbB-2 EGF-R lésions prénéoplasiques cancer bronchique
113	Modulation de l'activité du récepteur aux acides biliaires FXRa par les récepteurs de la famille EGFR/ErbB Sow, Baly 12 1900 (has links) Les acides biliaires sont des composants naturels du tractus gastro-intestinal. La hausse du taux d’acides biliaires dans l’intestin est associée à une carcinogenèse de l’appareil digestif. L’homéostasie des acides biliaires est maintenue par le contrôle de l’expression des gènes impliqués dans le métabolisme tels que SHP, FGF19 et CYP-7A1 par le récepteur nucléaire FXRα. FXRα agit comme facteur de transcription en réponse à l’interaction directe des acides biliaires. Par contre, plusieurs évidences tendent à démontrer le rôle central de FXRα dans la carcinogenèse hépatique. Les récepteurs de la famille EGFR/ErbB sont des récepteurs tyrosine kinase également activés par les acides biliaires, dont la surexpression est associée au développement de plusieurs cancers. Ainsi, le projet vise à déterminer l’impact de la signalisation des récepteurs EGFR/ErbB sur la réponse transcriptionnelle de FXRα. Nous avons identifié un mécanisme d’inhibition de l’activité transcriptionnelle de FXRα et de l’expression de ses gènes cibles par l’activation des récepteurs EGFR/ErbB par leur ligands HRG et EGF et par l’expression du mutant constitutivement actif ErbB2-V659E dans les cellules hépatiques. Nous avons montré que ce processus dépend de la signalisation par la voie MAPK. On observe également que l’activation de FXRα diminue la prolifération des cellules cancéreuses du foie alors que celle du récepteur ErbB2 augmente cette prolifération. Ainsi, cette étude nous a permis d’établir un nouveau mécanisme de l’impact délétère de la suractivation des récepteurs EGFR/ErbB sur la prolifération des cellules cancéreuses du foie qui implique une inhibition du potentiel transcriptionnel du récepteur aux acides biliaires FXRα. / Bile acids are natural components of the gastrointestinal tract. An increase of bile acid levels in the intestine is associated with the carcinogenesis of the digestive system. Bile acid homeostasis is maintained by the nuclear receptor FXRα which regulates the expression of specific genes involved in metabolism such as SHP, FGF19 and CYP-7A1. In this way, FXRα acts as a transcription factor following bile acids binding, allowing its transcriptional activation. On the other hand, several studies established the central role of FXRα activation in liver carcinogenesis. EGFR/ErbB receptors are a family of tyrosine kinase receptors that can be regulated by bile acids. Overexpression of EGFR/ErbB receptors is associated with several cancers. Thus, the project aims to examine the impact of EGFR/ErbB receptors signaling on FXR transcriptional potential. We identify that EGFR/ErbB activation by their ligands HRG and EGF and by the expression of the constitutively active mutant ErbB2-V659E inhibits FXR transcriptional activity and expression of its target genes in liver cells. We demonstrate that this process is dependent on the MAPK signaling pathway. We also show that FXR activation decreases proliferation of liver cancer cells while activation of ErbB2 increases this cellular response. Thus, this study identifies a new mechanism of the deleterious impact of EGFR/ErbB receptors overactivation on liver cancer cells proliferation, involving the inhibition of the transcriptional potential of the bile acid receptor FXRα. acides biliaires métabolisme récepteurs nucléaires récepteurs tyrosine kinase FXR hépatocarcinogenèse EGFR/ErbB transcription bile acid metabolism nuclear receptors tyrosine kinase receptors hepatocarcinogenesis

116	Proteinska ekspresija i genska amplifikacija receptora humanog epidermalnog faktora rasta 2 ( HER2) kod adenokarcinoma pluća / Protein expression and gene amplification of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) with lung adenocarcinoma Miladinović Mirjana 11 January 2019 (has links) <p>Receptor humanog epidermalnog faktora rasta 2 (HER2) pripada porodici receptora protein-tirozin kinaze čija je aktivacija povezana sa proliferacijom malignih ćelija, inhibicijom apoptoze, tumorskom angiogenezom i sposobnosti invazije i metastaziranja. Povećana proteinska ekspresija HER2 receptora može nastati kao posledica amplifikacije gena i/ili transkripcijskih promena. Ekspresija HER2 receptora u humanim tumorima povezuje se sa agresivnijim pona&scaron;anjem i lo&scaron;ijom prognozom. Učestalost povećane proteinske ekspresije HER2 receptora u nesitnoćelijskim karcinomima pluća (NSCLC) je najvi&scaron;e zastupljena u adenokarcinomu u odnosu na druge histolo&scaron;ke tipove. Identifikacija HER2 pozitivnih NSCLC omogućava određivanje grupe pacijenata koji bi bili kandidati za specifičnu terapiju. Problem predstavlja izbor metode detekcije HER2 receptora i nepostojanje utvrđenog protokola za očitavanje rezultata kao &scaron;to postoji kod karcinoma dojke i želuca. Osnovni ciljevi ove doktorske disertacije su bili: da se odredi učestalost povećane proteinske ekspresije HER2 receptora u adenokarcinomu pluća; da se uporede rezultati povećane proteinske ekspresije HER2 receptora dobijene kori&scaron;ćenjem HER2 antitela &bdquo;Hercep Test Dako“ i &bdquo;Ventana anti-HER2/neu (4B5)“ antitela; da se uporedi prisustvo amplifikacije HER2 gena pomoću in situ hibridizacije (ISH) (Dual IHC HER2 kit;Ventana Medical Systems) retestiranjem uzoraka kod kojih je povećana proteinska ekspresija HER2 receptora ocenjena sa 2+ i 3+ dobijena &bdquo;Hercep Test Dako“ sa prisustnom amplifikacijom HER2 gena na uzorcima koji su pomoću &bdquo;Ventana anti-HER2/neu (4B5)“ ocenjeni sa 2+ i 3+; da se uporedi učestalost povećane proteinske ekspresije HER2 receptora i prisustva HER2 genske amplifikacije kod različitih histolo&scaron;kih podtipova adenokarcinoma pluća; da se utvrdi da li je povećana proteinska ekspresija HER2 receptora u adenokarcinomu pluća i/ili prisustvo genske amplifikacije povezano sa demografskim (starost i pol pacijenta) parametrima, pu&scaron;ačkim statusom, pojavom metastaza u regionalnim limfnim čvorovima i udaljenim organima, infiltracijom pleure i okolnih struktura, odnosno stadijumom bolesti. Povećana proteinska ekspresija HER2 receptora u adenokarcinomu pluća iznosi 7,4% za Hercep Test Dako i 2,7% za Ventana anti-HER2/neu (4B5) antitelo. Kod pozitivne ekspresije slažu se u 2%, dok se kod negativne ekspresije slažu u 91,9% slučajeva, &scaron;to je ukupno 93,9%. Učestalost amplifikacije HER2 gena kod adenokarcinoma pluća je 17,6%, od toga je kod 2,7% slučajeva prisutna high grade amplifikacija. Postoji statistički značajna povezanost između povećane proteinske ekspresije HER2 receptora dobijene upotrebom HercepTest Dako i Ventana anti-HER2/neu (4B5) antitela i amplifikacije HER2 gena. Amplifikacija HER2 gena prisutna je kod 90,9% pacijenata sa povećanom proteinskom ekspresijom HER2 receptora koja se dobije upotrebom HercepTest Dako i kod 75% upotrebom Ventana anti-HER2/neu (4B5) antitela. Povećana proteinska ekspresija HER2 receptora dobijena pomoću HercepTest Dako i Ventana anti-HER2/neu (4B5) antitela je najče&scaron;ća kod solidnog predominantnog tipa adenokarcinoma u patolo&scaron;kom T2a deskriptoru i IB stadijumu i acinarnog predominantnog tipa adenokarcinoma u patolo&scaron;kom T1b deskriptoru i IA stadijumu. Amplifikacija HER2 gena je najče&scaron;ća kod solidnog a zatim kod acinarnog i papilarnog predominantnog tipa adenokarcinoma. Povećana proteinska ekspresija HER2 receptora dobijena pomoću HercepTest Dako i Ventana anti-HER2/neu (4B5) antitela i amplifikacija HER2 gena se najče&scaron;će javljaju kod mu&scaron;karaca, pu&scaron;ača, u starosnoj dobi od 61-70 godina, tumora veličine 31-50 mm, N0 i M0 statusu bolesti, bez prisustva tumorske infiltracije pleure i okolnih struktura.</p> / <p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

family having tyrosine kinase activity, which is directly linked to malignant cells proliferation, apoptosis inhibition, tumor angiogenesis and ability for invasion and metastasis. Increased protein expression of HER2 receptors can be the consequence of gene amplification and/or transcription changes. Expression of HER2 receptors in human tumors is associated with more aggressive behavior and worse prognosis. Incidence of increased protein expression of HER2 receptors in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLS) is mainly represented in adenocarcinoma, in comparison with other histological types. Identification of HER2 positive NSCLC enables determination of a group of patients who would be candidates for specific therapy. The problem occurs in choosing the method of detection of HER2 receptors and non-existence of determined protocol for reading the results, as the one ones which exist for breast and gastric carcinoma. The main objectives of this PhD dissertation were: to determine the incidence of increased protein expression of HER2 receptors in lung adenocarcinoma; to compare the results of the increased protein expression of HER2 receptors obtained by using HER2 antibodies "HercepTest Dako" and "Ventana anti-HER2/neu (4B5)" antibodies; to compare the presence of HER2 gene amplification by in situ hybridization (ISH) (Dual IHC HER2 kit: Ventana Medical Systems) by retesting the samples in which the increased protein expression of HER2 receptors was graded with 2+ and 3+, obtained by "HercepTest Dako" with present gene HER2 amplification on samples obtained by "Ventana anti-HER2/neu (4B5) and graded with 2+ and 3+; to compare the incidence of increased protein expression of HER2 receptors and presence of HER2 gene amplification in different histological subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma; to determine if the increased protein expression of HER2 receptors in lung adenocarcinoma and/or presence of gene amplification is related to demographic (age and sex of the patient) parameters, smoking status, appearance of metastases in regional lymphatic nodes, distant organs, infiltration of pleura and surrounding structures, and stage of the disease. Increased protein expression of HER2 in lung adenocarcinoma is 7.4% for HercepTest Dako and 2.7% for Ventana anti-HER2/neu (4B5) antibody. In positive expression they are correlated in 2%, while in negative expression they are correlated in 91.9% cases, which is overall 93.9%. The incidence of HER2 gene amplification in lung adenocarcinoma is 17.6%, from that in 2.7% of the cases high grade amplification is present. There is a statistically significant correlation between increased protein expression of HER2 receptors obtained by use of HercepTest Dako and Ventana anti-HER2 /neu (4B5) antibody and amplification of HER2 genes. Amplification of HER2 genes is present in 90.9% of patients with increased protein expression of HER2 receptors, which is obtained by using HercepTest Dako and in 75% patients by using Ventana anti-HER2/neu (4B5) antibody. Increased protein expression of HER2 receptors obtained by HercepTest Dako and Ventana anti-Her2/neu (4B5) antibody is most common in solid predominant type of adenocarcinoma in pathological T2a descriptor and IB stadium and acinar predominant type of adenocarcinoma in pathological T1b descriptor and IA stadium. Amplification of HER2 genes is most common in solid, and then in acinar and papillary predominant type of adenocarcinoma. Increased protein expression of HER2 receptors obtained by HercepTest Dako and Ventana anti-HER2/neu (4B5) antibody and amplification of HER2 genes most commonly occurs in men, smokers, at the age of 61-70 years, tumor size 31-50 mm, NO and MO disease status, without presence of tumor infiltration of pleura and surrounding structures. </span></p>
