High expression of FBP17 in invasive breast cancer cells promotes invadopodia formation
(Humana Press Inc., 2018)
Metastatic spread of the cancer is usually the consequence of the activation of signaling pathways that generate cell motility and tissue invasion. Metastasis involves the reorganization of cytoskeleton and cell shape for ...
Frequency of pathogenic germline mutations in cancer susceptibility genes in breast cancer patients
(Humana Press Inc., 2018)
In this study, we evaluated the incidence of pathogenic germline mutations in 30 breast cancer susceptibility genes in breast cancer patients. Our aim was to understand the involvement of the inherited mutations in these ...
Identification of novel translocation between short arm of chromosome 4 and long arm of chromosome 6 in an infertile man using Interphase Chromosome Profiling (ICP)
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)
Conventional cytogenetics has always been a favourite to detect chromosomal aberrations. Carriers of chromosomal translocation are often phenotypically normal but are infertile. Couples are often advised to go for karyotyping, ...
A comprehensive analysis of BRCA2 gene: focus on mechanistic aspects of its functions, spectrum of deleterious mutations, and therapeutic strategies targeting BRCA2-deficient tumors.
(Springer, 2018)
BRCA2is the main susceptibility gene known to be involved in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. It plays an important role in maintaining the genome stability by homologous recombination through DNA double-strand breaks ...
Association of serum homocysteine and hs-CRP with idiopathic generalised epilepsy and duration of antiepileptic drug therapy
(Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018)
Introduction: Several human and experimental studies have revealed that chronic inflammation may play a vital role in neurodegenerative processes including epilepsy. There is accumulating evidence that inflammatory processes ...
Association of CYP2C19*2 and ALDH1A1*1/*2 variants with disease outcome in breast cancer patients: results of a global screening array
(Springer Verlag, 2018)
Purpose: Cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin (adjuvant chemotherapy) are commonly used to treat breast cancer patients. Variation in the genes involved in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of these drugs plays an important ...
Association of elevated levels of C-reactive protein with breast cancer, breast cancer subtypes, and poor outcome
(Mosby Inc., 2018)
Background and Purpose: Inflammation and caner are linked in a bidirectional manner. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an important inflammatory marker. The aim of the study was to test whether the inflammatory marker, CRP at ...
BRCA1 mutation spectrum, functions, and therapeutic strategies: The story so far
(Mosby Inc., 2018)
BRCA1 gene mutations account for about 25-28% of hereditary Breast Cancer as BRCA1 is included in the category of high penetrance genes. Except for few commonmutations, there is a heterogenous spectrum of BRCA1 mutations ...
Fruit waste (peel) as bio-reductant to synthesize silver nanoparticles with antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities
(University of South Bohemia, 2018)
Since last decade, biogenic synthesis of metal or metal-oxide nanoparticles is emerging as an alternative method, which is environment friendly, simple and safe to use. In this article, fruit waste (peel) extract (FWE) of ...
GSTM1 and GSTT1 null polymorphism and antioxidant levels in oral submucous fibrosis, leukoplakia and oral cancer patients among a South Indian Population
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018)
Objective: We investigated the null polymorphism in GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes and the antioxidant levels in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), leukoplakia and oral cancer patients along with healthy controls in a South Indian ...
