Molecular Mechanisms Regulating the DNA Repair Protein APE1: A Focus on Its Flexible N-Terminal Tail Domain
(MDPI, 2021-06-11)
APE1 (DNA (apurinic/apyrimidinic site) endonuclease 1) is a key enzyme of one of the major DNA repair routes, the BER (base excision repair) pathway. APE1 fulfils additional functions, acting as a redox regulator of ...
Variability in cerebrospinal fluid microRNAs through life
(Springer, 2020-07-16)
The development of human brain starts in the first weeks of embryo differentiation. However, there are many relevant neurodevelopmental processes that take place after birth and during lifespan. Such a fine and changing ...
Noncoding RNA-related polymorphisms in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia susceptibility
(Springer, 2014-03-11)
Background: Evidence for an inherited genetic risk for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia has been provided in several studies. Most of them focused on coding regions. However, those regions represent only 1.5% of the ...
The Role of the Dysregulation of Long Non-Coding and Circular RNA Expression in Medulloblastoma: A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2023-09-22)
Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor in childhood. Although recent multi-omic studies have led to advances in MB classification, there is still room for improvement with regard to treatment response ...
Polymorphisms in the methotrexate transport pathway: a new tool for MTX plasma level prediction in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2013-02)
Objectives
Methotrexate (MTX) is an important component of therapy for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Treatment with MTX often causes toxicity, which can necessitate dose reduction or treatment cessation. ...
Polymorphisms of the SLCO1B1 gene predict methotrexate-related toxicity in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Wiley, 2011-10)
Background: Methotrexate (MTX) is an important component of the therapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Treatment with high-dose MTX often causes toxicity, recommending a dose reduction and/or cessation of ...
Errors in the interpretation of copy number variations due to the use of public databases as a reference
(Elsevier, 2014-03-14)
The identification of new cryptic deletions and duplications can be used to improve prognostic classification in cancer. To obtain accurate results, it is necessary to discriminate between somatic alterations in the tumor ...
Polymorphisms in miRNA processing genes and their role in osteosarcoma risk
(Wiley, 2015-02-07)
Background
The possible associations between genetic variants and osteosarcoma risk have been analyzed without conclusive results. Those studies were focused mainly on genes of biologically plausible pathways. However, ...
m6A Methylated Long Noncoding RNA LOC339803 Regulates Intestinal Inflammatory Response
(Wiley, 2024-04)
Cytokine mediated sustained inflammation increases the risk to develop different complex chronic inflammatory diseases, but the implicated mechanisms remain unclear. Increasing evidence shows that long noncoding RNAs ...
Toxicogenomics of the Freshwater Oligochaete, Tubifex tubifex (Annelida, Clitellata), in Acute Water-Only Exposure to Arsenic
(MDPI, 2024-03-16)
A toxicogenomic approach was used for toxicity evaluation of arsenic in the aquatic environment, and differential gene expression was investigated from 24 h and 96 h water-only acute toxicity tests with the aquatic ...
