- Mitochondrial DNA: mechanisms for genome integrity maintenance and impact on disease, AP.TEM
Abstract
Mitochondria are essential organelles in eukaryotic cells as they are involved in central pathways including energy metabolism and intracellular signaling. Besides being the main cellular site for ATP generation, they are involved in redox signaling, intracellular calcium homeostasis and cell fate after stress. Moreover, they contain their own independent genome. In humans, the mitochon...
- Analysis of mitochondrial DNA in penile cancer, AP.R
Abstract
Penile neoplasms represent less than 1% of tumors in men in the developed countries. In the developing countries, however, penile cancer corresponds to approximately 10 to 20% of all malignant lesions. Penile tumors, although rare, are associated with a high disease and/or treatment related morbidity.Multicenter studies have been carried out at an attempt to identify relevant prognostic...
- Analysis of mitochondrial genome heterogeneity in clear cell renal carcinoma, BP.PD
Abstract
Analysis of mitochondrial genome heterogeneity in clear cell renal carcinoma.Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignant renal tumor diagnosed in adults. Several genetic defects have been observed in renal tumors, such findings may be involved in the genesis and progression of these neoplasm. mitochondria genetic alterations and metabolic defects are factors th...
- Evaluation of the use of urinary miRNAs as a tool for diagnosis, prognosis and detection of recurrence in patients with renal cell carcinoma, BE.PQ
Abstract
Introduction: Micro RNA's (MIR's) are small ubiquitous non-coding strands of RNA that are thought to be important regulators of cellular gene expression and are found throughout the human biome, including circulating in the blood stream and excreted in the urine. We have previously identified selected MIR's circulating in human serum that are associated with disease recurrence and respo...
