O câncer de mama é o tipo de neoplasia que mostra as maiores taxas de mortalidade entre as mulheres no Brasil, provavelmente pelo fato de que, na maioria dos casos, a doença é diagnosticada em estadios avançados, dificultando o sucesso do tratamento. Dessa forma, essa doença é considerada um problema crítico de saúde pública. O câncer é uma doença que se caracteriza por sucessivas alterações genéticas e epigenéticas que causam um crescimento e multiplicação celular desordenados. A hipermetilação da região promotora de genes específicos pode levar ao silenciamento gênico, um evento importante no processo da carcinogênese. Este estudo analisou o padrão de metilação da isoforma RASSF1A do gene RASSF1 em linhagens celulares derivadas de carcinoma mamário. Esse gene está mapeado na região cromossômica 3p21.3 e, segundo dados da literatura, atua como supressor tumoral. O principal objetivo desse estudo foi investigar a presença de hipermetilação na região promotora desse gene em linhagens celulares de carcinomas mamários. Para a realização dessa análise foi empregada a metodologia de MSP (Methylation-specific Polymerase Chain Reaction) convencional e de qMSP (Methylation-Specific Polymerase Chain Reaction quantitativa em tempo real). Todas as linhagens de carcinomas mamários analisadas no estudo (MCF7, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-453, MDA-MB-134 e SKBR3) apresentaram um padrão hipermetilado na região promotora do gene RASSF1 corroborando com dados da literatura que relacionam a inativação desse gene à hipermetilação do promotor. Estes dados, associados aos obtidos em uma análise paralela realizada em nosso laboratório que demonstrou a re-expressão do gene RASSF1 após o tratamento com o agente desmetilante 5 aza 2’desoxicitidina, confirmam a regulação epigenética desse gene supressor tumoral

Late renal cell carcinoma recurrence in the renal fossa is a rare event. This condition occurs in 1 to 2% of radical nephrectomies. We reported a late recurrence at the renal fossa about four and half years after radical nephrectomy due to a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) without metastasis elsewhere. Diagnosis in an outpatient follow-up was made during an abdominal computed tomography and we observed a retroperitoneal mass in the renal fossa. The excision at the recurrence area was made through a subcostal transversal incision without any difficulty. After 6 months from this second procedure, there was no evidence of recurrence. The surgical aggressive treatment for late retroperitoneal RCC recurrence is a good method in this rare situation. Abdominal computed tomography must be done during long periods of follow-up for patients with radical nephrectomy for RCC to search for late retroperitoneal recurrences.

Breast cancer has received an increasing attention because it is one of the most common cancer type and a leading cause of morbity and mortality among women worldwide. This disease has been considered as a heterogeneous condition, demonstrating a large spectrum of clinical and histopathological variability. In the last two decades, several studies have been conducted to identify new molecular markers of cancer cells, including the alterations of DNA methylation, which is the major epigenetic mechanism associated with the control of gene expression. The hypermethylation of promoter-associated CpG islands contributes to the loss of function of several cancer-related genes, including those encoding to the estrogen receptor (ESR) and progesterone receptor (PGR). This study aimed to determine the methylation patterns of CpG islands of the genes encoding the estrogen receptor α (ESR1 gene, promoters A and B), estrogen receptor β (ESR2 gene) and progesterone receptor (PGR gene, promoter A and B) in 15 cell lines derived from breast cancer. The DNA methylation analysis was based on the “Methylation Specific-Polymerase Chain Reaction” (MSP), which provides a qualitative assessment of the methylation status of a specific CpG island. The results revealed heterogeneous data: the promoter region of ESR1A showed complete methylation in one cell line (BT549) and only two cell lines showed partial methylation (MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-453), while the others lineages presented unmethylated alleles. The promoter region of isoform ESR1B was unmethylated in the cell lines BT549, SKBR3 and T47D; partial methylation were observed in the cell lines MDA-MB- 231, MCF-7 and ZR-75-30, while the others cell lines presented complete methylation. All lineages showed complete or partial methylation of the ESR2 gene. The methylation pattern of the promoter A of the PGR ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Experimental models composed by human and animal cell lines are simplified and informative, allowing them to be widely used for biomedical research. Most laboratories that use in vitro cultivated cells maintain a variation of cell lines stored and cultivated. Therefore, misidentification and cross-contamination events can happen during cell lines handling. This problem can generate a repertoire of dubious results and papers, which may prejudice biomedical research. Recently it was created the International Cell Line Authentication Committee (ICLAC), which aims to spread knowledge about cross-contamination and misidentification of in vitro cell lines. Despite of the efforts spent trying to aware scientific community about the importance of the correct identification of cells, the number of papers based on misidentified cell lines it´s still worrying, compromising the reliability of out coming results and conclusions regarding them. The present study aims to analyze and discuss the main advantages and limitations of eukaryote in vitro cell lines use, characterizing the cell lines authentication problems. Therefore, compilation and critical analyses of literature data was realized, aiming to improve the understanding about this subject. Based on information about 445 cell lines with issues published by ICLAC it´s clear that contamination in human cell lines represented 89,2 % of mentioned problems. HeLa cell line was the responsible for most contamination, especially in 92 normal tissue cell lines, representing 44,6% of the contamination. These results reinforce the importance of periodic maintenance of cell lines cultures by labs and implementation of authentication methods as polymorphic STRs, besides obtaining cell lines from reliable sources and cell banks
