まとめ

GNAS c. 602G> A変異は,大腸がん (CRC) の患者の35%で発見されました. この変異は,腫瘍の大きさと転移,および性別に関連しており,CRCの進行におけるその役割を示唆しています.

科学分野:

腫瘍学
分子生物学
遺伝学

背景:

結腸直腸がん (CRC) は,世界中で癌による死亡の主な原因です.
特にコドン201のGNAS変異は,cAMPシグナル伝達を通じてがんの進行と転移に関与しています.
CRCにおけるGNAS変異の頻度とその病理学的関連性を理解することは極めて重要です.

研究の目的:

結腸直腸がん (CRC) のGNAS c.602G>A (p.Arg201His) 変異の頻度を決定する.
この特定のGNAS変異を有するCRC腫瘍の臨床病理学的特徴を分析する.

主な方法:

40のCRC組織サンプルからDNA抽出
高解像度メルトリング (HRM) 分析による変異スクリーニング
変異の確認のためのサンガー配列

主要な成果:

ヘテロジゴスGNASc.602G> A変異は40人中14人 (35%) のCRC患者で確認された.
腫瘍の大きさとリンパ関節の関与 (p<0. 05) の間に有意な関連性が見られた.
腫瘍の大きさは血管転移と患者の性別との関連性も示した.

結論:

GNAS c.602G>A変異は,著しい割合のCRC症例に存在する.
この変異は,より攻撃的な病気を示す臨床病理学的要因と相関しています.
GNAS変異は,CRCの進行と治療指針の潜在的なバイオマーカーとして機能する.

The Ras Gene

6.4K

The Ras-gene-encoded proteins are regulators of signaling pathways controlling cell proliferation, differentiation, or cell survival. The Ras-gene family in humans constitutes three primary members—the HRas, NRas, and KRas. These genes code for four functionally distinct yet closely related proteins—the HRas, NRas, KRas4A, and KRas4B. The involvement of mutant Ras genes in human cancer was first discovered in 1982 and is among the most common causes of human tumorigenesis.
Ras is a...

Small GTPases - Ras and Rho

4.2K

Ras and Rho are small monomeric GTPases that act downstream of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and regulate various cellular processes. These GTPases switch between active and inactive states by binding to guanine nucleotides.
Three regulatory proteins control their activity:

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

14.1K

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

15.8K

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes

9.1K

Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
