Resumo
O câncer gástrico é a segunda causa de morte por câncer no mundo e o quinto tipo com maior prevalência no Brasil, sendo previstos 21.800 casos novos em 2008. Esta neoplasia apresenta etiologia bastante complexa, envolvendo fatores genéticos e ambientais. Os fatores etiológicos de maiores destaques incluem a infecção pela bactéria Helicobacter pylori, a ingestão de determinados alimentos, como defumados, enlatados e com elevada quantidade de sal, além do estilo de vida dos indivíduos, associado ao consumo de cigarro e álcool. Uma lesão pré-cancerosa importante no desenvolvimento da neoplasia gástrica é a metaplasia intestinal, podendo aumentar o seu risco em até 10 vezes. Atualmente é reconhecida a participação de alterações epigenéticas como metilação aberrante do DNA, que atua de forma igualmente relevante e complementar no processo de desenvolvimento e progressão do câncer. Vários genes com papel importante no controle do ciclo celular, reparo do DNA, apoptose, angiogênese e adesão celular podem apresentar expressão alterada devido metilação aberrante de sua região promotora, assim a investigação do padrão de metilação de genes envolvidos com o processo neoplásico pode ser uma estratégia interessante para a indicação de marcadores moleculares que possam auxiliar no diagnóstico precoce do câncer. Desta forma, no presente trabalho foi investigado o padrão de metilação dos genes WT1 e RARß em metaplasia intestinal (35 amostras) e suas respectivas mucosas gástricas normais, em comparação com o câncer gástrico (8 amostras) também com suas respectivas mucosas normais, através da técnica MS-PCR (Methylation Specific PCR). Devido à participação da infecção pela H. pylori na carcinogênese gástrica, foi investigada molecularmente a presença dessa bactéria nas amostras...
Worldwide, the gastric cancer is the second cause of death by cancer. In Brazil, it is the fifth type with more abundant, foreseen 21.800 new cases in 2008. This neoplasia presents very complex etiology involving genetic and environmental factors. The main etiologic factors include: infection by H. pylori, intake of specific foods such as curing food, canned food, and high consumption of salt wealthy food, besides people life style associated to alcohol and cigarette consumptions. An important previous-cankered lesion in development of gastric neoplasia is the intestinal metaplasia, what can increase your risk in ten times. At this moment, it is recognized the participation of epigenetic alterations like ADN aberrant methylation, which actuate in a same way considerable and complementary in development process and cancer evolution. Many genes with important role in control of cellular cycle, ADN repair, apoptosis, angiogenesis and cellular adhesion can present changed expression due aberrant metthylation of your promoter region. In this manner, the investigation of metithyation pattern of genes involved with the neoplasic process can be an interesting strategy for the indication of molecular markers that can help in cancer precocious diagnosis. Thus, in this present study were investigated the metthylation pattern of RARß and WT1genes (35 samples) and their respective normal mucous gastrics by technic MSPCR (Methylation Specific PCR). Due to participation of infection by H. pylori in gastric carcinogenesis, it was too molecular investigated the presence of this bacterium in the studied samples and the possible association with the metthylation pattern presented by both genes. The results showed high pattern of methylation in both valued lesions, that is, 97% and 100%, respectively of methylated samples in metaplasia group ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)
