Background: Breast cancer is the commonest cancer in Egyptian females. Nrf2 is involved in oxidative stress while P73 functions in response to DNA damage. This study aimed to assess the role of Nrf2 promoter and P73 G4C14 to A4T14 SNPs in breast cancer in Egypt. Patients: Eighty-five female patients with breast tumours (41 malignant, 44 benign) were included. Nrf2 (rs6721961) and p73 (G4A) SNPs were determined by PCR- CTPP assay. Results: Genotype frequencies of the Nrf2 promoter SNP were 34.2% and 37.9% for AA in benign and malignant groups respectively, and 43.9% and 40.5% for CC and, 21.9 % and 21.6% for CA. Genotype frequencies for the P73 G4A SNP were 52.9% and 44.7% for GA in benign and malignant groups respectively, and 47.1% and 55.3% for GG. Discussion: Nrf2 genotypes in pre - and post-menopausal patients, showed significantly different distributions in the 2 patient groups, the AA genotype being significantly more common in pre-menopausal patients. The P73 G4A SNP showed no relation to age of disease onset. Conclusion: The Nrf2 (rs6721961) AA genotype might be related to early breast cancer onset. In contrast the P73 G4A polymorphism showed no relation to either disease risk or age at presentation.- انتشار مقاله: 02-07-1395

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major health concern in many countries including Egypt. The alteration in DNA methylation that was observed in HCC patients suggests a possible role of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) in the disease pathogenesis in addition to potential role as a disease biomarker. Aim: To study the change in DNMTs expression in chronic HCV infected patients as potential non- invasive biomarker for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: 26 patients with HCC, 45 patients with liver cirrhosis, 20 chronic HCV patients and 20 apparently healthy individuals as a control group were enrolled in this study. Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed for all study participants. Results: A significant difference in DNMTs expression was observed among the studied groups. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis revealed that with a cutoff value of 3.16 for DNMT 3A expression, sensitivity and specificity were 80.8 and 95.6% respectively and area under curve (AUC) was 0.958, p < 0.001 for discriminating hepatocellular carcinoma among post hepatitis C cirrhotic patients. Besides DNMT 3B relative expression cutoff value of 3.10 showed 84.6% sensitivity and 77.8% specificity and AUC was 0.888, p < 0.001. On the other hand, cutoff value 0.65 for DNMT1 relative expression showed 92.3% sensitivity and 44.4% specificity and AUC was 0.72, p= 0.002. DNMT1, DNMT 3A and DNMT 3B have significant positive correlation with the level of AFP (p-value = 0.003, 0.004 and 0.008 respectively). The relative expression of DNMT3B was significantly correlated to focal lesion size (p-value = 0.015). High DNMTs expression was significantly associated with the presence of multiple focal lesions but not with the Child Pugh grade (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The mRNA levels of DNMTs could be a potential biomarker for early detection of HCC development.
