Glioblastoma in a 20-year-old female patient after Chikungunya infection

Authors: L.O. Mour�?£o, L. Delmonico, A.S. Moreira, K.R. Bulsara, T. Da Luz, R.T. Silvestre, A.C.B. Koifman, L.C. Guida, G.N. Soares, M.G.C. Carvalho, M.H. Ornellas and G. Alves

We describe the case of a 20-year-old female patient who died 4 months after the diagnosis of a glioblastoma (GBM). The tumor emerged nearly a month after a Chikungunya (CHIKV) infection and displayed positivity to Citomegalovirus (CMV) DNA. The immunohistochemical studies revealed GFAP positivity in rare cells, IDH-1 positive, vimentin positive, ATRX pos.. Read More»

Aberrant DNA methylation of MGMT and hMLH1 genes in prediction of gastric cancer

Authors: J. Jin, L. Xie, C.H. Xie and Y.F. Zhou

We aimed to explore the association between aberrant DNA methylation of the O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and human mutL homolog 1 (hMLH1) genes with gastric cancer. A total of 283 gastric cancer patients who were confirmed by pathological diagnosis were included in our study. Aberrant DNA methylation of MGMT.. Read More»

Impact of MTHFR polymorphisms on methylation of MGMT in glioma patients from Northeast China with different folate levels

Authors: N. Liu1, J. Jiang1, Y.J. Song2, S.G. Zhao3, Z.G. Tong4, H.S. Song1, H. Wu1, J.Y. Zhu1, Y.H. Gu1, Y. Sun1, W. Hua1 and J.P. Qi1

Hypomethylation of the O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter in glioma cells has been associated with temozolomide resistance. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), which is produced during folate metabolism, is the main source of methyl groups during DNA methylation... Read More»

Production of human factor VIII-FL in 293T cells using the bicistronic MGMT(P140K)-retroviral vector

Authors: A.M. Fontes, F.U.F. Melo, L.J. Greene, V.M. Fa�?§a, Y. Lin, S.L. Gerson and D.T. Covas

Hemophilia A is the most common X-linked bleeding disorder; it is caused by deficiency of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). Replacement therapy with rFVIII produced from human cell line is a major goal for treating hemophilia patients. We prepared a full-length recombinant FVIII (FVIII-FL), using the pMFG-P140K retroviral vecto.. Read More»
