Četnost vybraných genetických polymorfismů cytochromu P450 v české populaci a vliv genotypu CYP2C9 na hypolipidemické působení fluvastatinu / Frequency of selected genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 in the Czech population and the influence of CYP2C9 genotype on the hypolipidemic effect of fluvastatinBuzková, Helena January 2012 (has links)
55 Abstract Frequency of selected genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 in the Czech population and the influence of CYP2C9 genotype on the hypolipidemic effect of fluvastatin Introduction: One of the main factors of genetically determined variability in response of humans to administered drugs are differences in catalytic activity of metabolizing enzymes, which are caused mainly by genetic polymorphisms in cytochrom P450 family enzymes. This thesis consists of two parts and it is presented as a commentary to the original papers. The first aim was to investigate the frequency of functionally important variant alleles of three main isoenzymes of cytochrome P450 gene: CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, throughout the Czech population, predict the prevalence of poor metabolizer phenotypes, and then to compare the results to the data from other populations. Secondly, we analysed the correlation between the CYP2C9 genotype and cholesterol-lowering effect of fluvastatin in human hypercholesterolemic patients. Methods: Genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP. The presence of alleles CYP2D6*1, *6, *5, *4, *3, and gene duplication was analysed in 233 healthy volunteers, CYP2C9*1, *2 and*3 in 254 subjects and CYP2C19*1, *2 and *2 in 218 subjects. Eighty seven patients on fluvastatin therapy, and 48 patients on monotherapy...

Ciblage de la voie Hippo avec les statines pour le traitement des tumeurs mammaires caninesVigneau, Anne-Laurence 08 1900 (has links)
Les tumeurs mammaires canines (CMT) sont les plus fréquents néoplasmes chez les chiennes intactes. Aucun consensus n’existe, actuellement, concernant le protocole thérapeutique des tumeurs invasives ou métastatiques. Des études récentes démontrent l’implication du dérèglement de la voie Hippo dans le développement et la progression des CMTs. Les statines, en inhibant la geranylgeranylation (GGylation) protéique, activent la voie Hippo et suspendent les effets transcriptionnels de YAP et TAZ. Cette étude évalue le ciblage thérapeutique de la voie Hippo avec deux statines (atorvastatine et fluvastatine) sur deux lignées cellulaires de CMT (CMT9 et CMT47). Les deux statines ont démontré une cytotoxicité pour CMT9 et CMT47 avec de IC50 de 0,95 µM et 23,5 µM respectivement. Les statines ont également diminué les niveaux des protéines effectrices de la voie, YAP et TAZ, ainsi que les niveaux d’ARNm de trois gènes cibles de YAP-TAZ/TEAD connus pour leur rôle dans la progression du cancer du sein et la chimiorésistance : CYR61, CTGF et RHAMM. De plus, la migration cellulaire de CMT47 et la croissance indépendante de l’ancrage des deux lignées ont été inhibées en présence de statines mais pas l’invasion de la matrice extracellulaire. Enfin, les analyses FACS ont montré une augmentation de l’apoptose et un arrêt du cycle cellulaire. Nos résultats suggèrent que les statines activent la voie Hippo et ciblent différents mécanismes moléculaires et cellulaires dans les CMT in vitro. Les statines agissent sur la voie Hippo et pourraient représenter une approche innovante pour le traitement des tumeurs mammaires canines invasives ou métastatiques. / Canine mammary tumours (CMTs) are the most common neoplasms in intact bitches, and no effective chemotherapeutic options are available for highly invasive and metastatic tumors. Recent studies show the potential involvement of dysregulated Hippo signaling in CMT development and progression. Protein geranylgeranylation (GGylation) is an important post-translational modification for many signaling molecules, and its blockade with statins has been shown to inhibit YAP/TAZ-mediated transcriptional activity via activation of the Hippo pathway. In this study, we sought to determine if protein GGylation represents a valid pharmacological target in CMTs. Two CMT cell lines (CMT9 and CMT47) were evaluated for their sensitivity to atorvastatin and fluvastatin. Results demonstrated statins to be cytotoxic to both cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 0.95 µM to 23.5 µM. In addition, both statins lowered Hippo pathway effector proteins YAP and TAZ and reduced the mRNA levels of key transcriptional target genes known to be involved in breast cancer progression and chemoresistance (CYR61, CTGF and RHAMM). Moreover, both statins effectively inhibited cell migration in CMT47 and anchorage independent growth in CMT9 and CMT47, but did not modulate matrix invasion. Finally, our FACs results showed that both statins increase apoptosis and promote cell cycle arrests. Taken together, our results indicate that statins activate the Hippo pathway in CMTs and modulate several aspects of CMT’s molecular and cellular behaviours. These findings suggest that targeting the Hippo pathway with statins could be a novel approach for the treatment of invasive, metastatic or inoperable canine mammary gland cancers.
