HERG K+channels, besides contributing to regulate cardiac and neuronal excitability, are preferentially expressed in tumour cell lines of different histogenesis, where their role the development maintenance neoplastic phenotype is under study. We show here that both herg gene protein with high frequency primary human endometrial cancers, as compared normal hyperplastic endometrium. RT-PCR immunohistochemistry, using specific anti-HERG antibodies developed our laboratory, were applied tissue...

Abstract Breast and ovarian cancers increased in the last decades. Except rare cases with a genetic predisposition high penetrance, these pathologies are viewed as polygenic disease. In this concept, association studies look for variations such polymorphisms low penetrance genes, i.e . genes interaction environmental factors. DNA repair systems that protect genome from deleterious endogenous exogenous damages have been shown to significantly reduced. particular, enzymes of nucleotide...

Although the rate of breast cancer differs between women in Asian and Western countries, molecular genetics/genomics basis this epidemiological observation remains elusive. Moreover, intake phytoestrogens is associated with a lower incidence cancer. Genistein daidzein are primary soy isoflavones chemical structure similar to estrogens. Conceivably, actions on gene expression signatures might mediate their postulated effects pathogenesis. The present study evaluated transcriptional...
