Análise de polimorfismos em tumores gliais humanos
Keywords in Portuguese
Astrocitomas
Glioblastomas
Polimorfismo
Abstract in Portuguese
Os tumores do sistema nervoso central representam aproximadamente 2% de todos os tipos de cânceres. Embora a incidência dos tumores do SNC seja pequena, comparada com outras neoplasias, estes tumores estão entre as mais graves malignidades humanas, pois afetam o órgão responsável pela coordenação e integração de todas as atividades orgânicas. Os gliomas são os tumores mais comuns do SNC. Apesar do progresso marcante na caracterização da patogênese molecular dos gliomas, esses tumores permanecem incuráveis e, na maioria dos casos, refratários aos tratamentos, devido à sua heterogeneidade molecular. O aparecimento desses tumores ocorrem a partir do acúmulo de alterações genéticas nas células. Para entender o mecanismo molecular de formação e progressão tumoral é indispensável identificar os genes que acumulam essas alterações. Um polimorfismo de base única (SNP Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) é geralmente definido como uma substituição estável de apenas uma base na molécula de DNA com frequência maior que 1%, em pelo menos uma população Os SNPs são reconhecidos como importantes ferramentas na genética humana e médica e têm sido amplamente utilizados nos estudos de associação genética de várias doenças complexas, como por exemplo: distúrbios cardiovasculares, psiquiátricos e autoimunes, obesidade, osteoporose, diabetes e câncer Sendo assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar polimorfismos entre populações caso e controle na intenção de identificar associações destes genótipos na suscetibilidade aos tumores. A técnica utilizada para a análise de polimorfismos foi de PCR-RFLP onde observamos diferenças nas distribuições genotípicas entre pacientes e controles nos SNPs EGF+61, GSTP-1Ile 105 Val, XRCC1 Arg 194 Trp, Pro 206 Pro, Arg 280 His, Arg 399 Gln, Gln 632 Gln, XRCC2 Arg 188 His, XRCC3 Thr 241 Met e XRCC4 G1394T, onde as variantes EGF G61, Trp194, Val105, Pro206, His280, Gln632, His188, Met241 e XRCC4 T1394 foram observados com maior freqüência entre os portadores de gliomas. Dessa forma, estas variantes podem ser fatores de susceptibilidade para o desenvolvimento dos tumores.

Abstract in English
The Central nervous system tumors represent about 2% of all cancers. Although the incidence of CNS tumors is small compared with other cancers, these tumors are among the most serious human malignancies, because they affect the body responsible for coordination and integration of all organic activities. Gliomas are the most common tumors of the CNS. Despite remarkable progress in characterizing the molecular pathogenesis of gliomas, these tumors remain incurable and, in most cases, refractory to treatment, due to its molecular heterogeneity. The appearance of these tumors occurs from the accumulation of genetic changes in cells. To understand the molecular mechanism of tumor formation and progression is essential to identify genes that accumulate these changes. A single base polymorphism (SNP Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) is generally defined as a stable replacement of only one base in the DNA molecule often greater than 1% in at least one population SNPs are recognized as important tools in human genetics and medical and have been widely used in genetic association studies of various complex diseases, such as: cardiovascular, psychiatric and autoimmune diseases, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes and cancer. Thereby, the objective of this study was to analyze the polymorphisms between cases and control the intention to identify associations of these genotypes in susceptibility to tumors. The technique used for the analysis of polymorphisms were PCR-RFLP where we observe differences in genotype between patients and controls in the EGF +61, GSTP-1 Ile105Val, XRCC1 Arg 194 Trp, Pro 206 Pro, Arg 280 His, Arg 399 Gln, Gln 632 Gln, XRCC2 Arg 188 His, XRCC3 Thr 241 Met and XRCC4 G1394T, where the variants EGF G61, Trp194, val105, Pro206, His280, Gln632, His188, Met241 and XRCC4 T1394 were observed more frequently among patients with gliomas. Thus, these variants can be important factors of susceptibility to the tumor development.
