Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignant neoplasm with the highest incidence in pediatric population. Although 5-year overall survival greater than 85%, emerging countries such as Mexico, mortality rate high. In B-ALL most common type of childhood cancer; different characteristics suggest presence disease; however, prognosis dependent on clinical and laboratory features, no adverse prognostic molecular marker for has yet been identified. The present research aimed to identify value...

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical epithelium has been identified as the main etiological factor developing of Cervical Cancer (CC), which recently become a public health problem Mexico. This finding allowed for development vaccines that help prevent this infection. In present study, we aimed to determine prevalence and HPV type-distribution Mexican women with CC, high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), low-grade (LSIL), Normal cytology (N) estimate impact vaccines.The PubMed...

In this study of chemoprevention in the rat modified resistant hepatocyte model, preneoplastic cells were diminished by >60% with quercetin pretreatment compared those rats treated N-Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) to induce liver cancer. This decrease occurred associated an abolished DEN-induced lipid peroxidation as well activation caspase 9 and increased 3, determined expression cleaved 3 9, but not 8 fragmentation Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inducing apoptosis presumed genetically...

Abstract Background Studies of alternative mRNA splicing (AS) in health and disease have yet to yield the complete picture protein diversity its role physiology pathology. Some forms cancer appear be associated certain splice variants, but their development outcome is unclear. Methods We examined AS profiles by means whole genome exon expression microarrays (Affymetrix GeneChip 1.0) ovarian tumors cancer-derived cell lines, compared healthy tissue. Alternatively spliced genes expressed...

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most commonly diagnosed childhood malignancy worldwide; more than 50% of these cases are in Mexico. Although five-year survival rate >80%, 30% patients experience relapse with poor prognosis. Cancer-associated gene expression profiles have been identified several malignancies, and some transcripts used to predict disease The human transcriptome incompletely elucidated; moreover, 80% can be processed via alternative splicing (AS), which increases...

BACKGROUND The irradiation of red blood cells (RBCs) causes damage the RBC membrane with increased potassium (K) leak during storage compared nonirradiated units similar age. A previous in vitro study showed a mean reduction K 94 ± 5% adsorption filter (PAF). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS prospective, single‐center, nonblinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT) was designed to evaluate safety and efficacy transfusing irradiated PAF. Patients 18 years age or older who received due...

The relationship between Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection and conjunctiva cancer is controversial. HPV detection will provide more information about the role of this infectious agent in biology cancer. In present study, DNA extracted purified from 36 Conjunctival Squamous Cell Carcinomas (CSCC) was evaluated by PCR for sequences. results were correlated with clinical histopathological variables.The showed that 8 CSCC samples (22%); HPV16 sole type detected. Significant association found...

Droplet digital PCR is the most robust method for absolute nucleic acid quantification. However, RNA a very versatile molecule and its abundance tissue-dependent. quantification dependent on reference control to estimate abundance. Additionally, in cancer, many cellular processes are deregulated which consequently affects gene expression profiles. In this work, we performed microarray data mining of different childhood cancers healthy controls. We selected four genes that showed no...

Aims: Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG) is an uncommon autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the rare association of early-onset osteoporosis and severe ocular abnormalities such as persistent fetal vasculature microphthalmia. Biallelic mutations in low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-5 gene (LRP5) have been associated with OPPG. We present clinical genetic data from three Mexican OPPG patients, a pair sibs, sporadic case. Materials Methods: Three patients...

Ovarian cancer is possibly the sixth most common malignancy worldwide, in Mexico representing fourth leading cause of gynecological death more than 70% being diagnosed at an advanced stage and survival very poor. tumors are classified according to histological characteristics, epithelial ovarian as (~80%). We here used high-density microarrays a systems biology approach identify tissue-associated deregulated genes. Non-malignant showed gene expression profile associated with immune mediated...

Leukemia is the most common childhood malignancy in Mexico, representing more than 50% of all cancers. Although treatment leads to a survival up 90% developing countries, our country, it less 65%. Additionally, ~30% patients relapse with poor prognosis. Alternative splicing plays an important role transcriptome diversity and cellular biology. This mechanism promotes increase assortment proteins potentially distinct functions from single gene. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)...
