is a protooncogene that encodes for the KIT oncoprotein, which is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase growth factor receptor that holds a critical role in a variety of normal physiological and pathological processes including angiogenesis.
has been shown to be involved in tumorigenesis, contributing to the development of gastrointestinal carcinoma and leukemia. A link between KIT overexpression and breast cancer development has previously been reported. In the current study, we explored
gene expression and exonic copy number variants (CNV) and the relationship with angiogenesis (CD34) and the clinicopathological features of breast cancer.

MLPA technique was used to determine the CNV in 64 breast cancer tumor samples from patients diagnosed with primary sporadic breast cancer. Results were confirmed by quantitative PCR. Expression of KIT and CD34 was determined using immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Our results show that 28.1% of the tumor samples from patients with primary sporadic breast cancer had CNV in the
gene. Among the breast tumor samples, 54.7% showed positive
expression. The expression of the CD34 angiogenesis marker was reported in 43.8% of the tumor samples as low, 42.2% as moderate and 14.1% as high. A significant correlation between increased CNV of
exons, a high level of angiogenesis (CD34) and increased tumor grade was observed (p< 0.05).

A significant correlation between the
CNV and the angiogenesis marker was found. Examining
expression and CNV has the potential to function as a biomarker for tyrosine kinase inhibitor drugs in breast cancer.

Epigenetic changes in CpG islands of the promoter regions of homeostasis-related genes, including nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (
), have been shown to hold a significant role in the development of colorectal cancer. Therefore, we aimed to examine the DNA demethylation pattern of the
promoter region in cancerous lesions from patients with colorectal cancer and the association of methylation status with clinicopathological features in the Iranian population.

In this cross-sectional study, 114 colorectal tissue samples were collected. These samples included 34 tumour tissue samples, 60 precancerous polyps, and 20 normal tissue samples. selleck kinase inhibitor The promoter methylation status of the
gene was examined using methylation-specific PCR. Additionally, the relationship between the methylation status and the clinicopathological features was investigated.

The frequency of
demethylation in the tumour samples was significantly higher compared to the polyp tissues (p= 0.003) and normal tissue (p= 0.009), indicating that cancerous colorectal tissues exhibit increased demethylation of the
promoter. After examining the demethylation status of tissue samples, the clinicopathological features were compared to the demethylation results. No significant association was found between
promoter demethylation and the clinicopathological features of patient samples.

Our findings suggest that the epigenetic modifications leading to
demethylation found in colorectal tumour samples may contribute to cancer progression from precancerous polyps to cancerous lesions.

The tumor suppressing protein p53 and its downstream effector p21 play important roles in cell cycle regulation. Deficiency or deactivation of these proteins as a result of gene alterations has been indicated in several cancers. Such genetic variations could be considered as susceptibility indicators in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Therefore, we investigated the associations between ALL risk and
codon 72,
codon 31, and
SNP309 polymorphisms in an Iranian population.

Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to determine the
T309G (rs2279744),
codon Arg72Pro (rs1042522), and
Ser31Arg (rs1801270) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This study was performed in 115 ALL patients and 115 healthy controls in Khuzestan province in southwest Iran.

In the control group and ALL patients,
Ser/Arg, and
TG and GG genotypes were associated with significant 1.81-fold (95% confidence interval CI= 1.008-3.267; P < 0.05), 11.07-fold (95% CI= 5.10-24.05; P < 0.0001), and 19.41-fold (95% CI= 8.56-43.99; P < 0.0001) increased risks for ALL, respectively. The
72 Arg allele was significantly more prevalent in ALL patients (56.96%) than in control subjects (47.39%), and was significantly associated with ALL (OR= 1.47; 95% CI = 1.017-2.121, P < 0.05).

The
T309G and the
Ser31Arg SNPs indicate a significantly increased risk for developing ALL in Khuzestan province.

Obesity, often associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, is a metabolic disease that can result in dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia. Many reports describe the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic properties of the
L. seed extract in STZ-induced diabetic rat models, however, its anti-diabetic effects in other diabetic models are less characterized in the literature. This study set out to determine the possible effects of the
L. seed extract on adipogenesis and glucose homeostasis.

3T3-L1 cells were cultured in adipocyte differentiation media with or without varying doses of
L. extract (0.312-1 mg/ml). Assays were performed on days 5, 8, and 12 after induced differentiation.

Our results demonstrate that the triglyceride content in treated groups was significantly lower compared to controls. Further, treating 3T3-L1 cells with
seed extract reduced adipogenesis through the downregulation of PPAR-γ and CEBP-α, and adipocyte-specific genes involved in fatty acid metabolism including ap2, ACACA, and FAS.
