Biomarcadores de suscetibilidade à endometriose

Abstract: IntroduçãoA endometriose é doença poligênica/ multifatorial, caracterizada pelo crescimento de tecido endometrial fora da cavidade uterina e, que freqüentemente resulta em vários problemas ginecológicos incluindo dispareunia, dismenorréia, dor pélvica e infertilidade 1 . Embora aproximadamente 15% das mulheres em idade reprodutiva desenvolvam a doença 2 , sua etiologia ainda permanece obscura. A teoria da menstruação retró-grada tem sido amplamente utilizada para explicar sua origem. Ela propõe que células end… Show more

“…Studies revealed a significant decline in human semen quality and quantity over the past decades, and the increasing occurrence of disorders of the male reproductive tract is yet unknown. Environmental factors have been suggested to be implicated in the conditions of poor sperm function and infertility (Nakata et al, 2004;Rubes et al, 2007).…”

“…They include naturally occurring compounds, drugs, environmental agents, and carcinogens. Adverse effects of xenobiotics are exerted via covalent interactions between intermediate metabolites and genetic components or proteins and their related metabolites (Nakata et al, 2004;Rubes et al, 2007).…”

“…Results from this study revealed an association between endometriosis and the m1 allele; two patients with endometriosis were demonstrated to have the homozygous mutant genotype. Nakata et al (2004) analyzed 25 patients with endometriosis and 25 without the disease (control group). The allele frequencies obtained from the two groups indicated no association between the polymorphic CYP1A1m1 allele and endometriosis.…”

“…One of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CYP1A1 gene most widely studied is the MspI restriction site (CYP1A1m1) in the 3'-non-coding region, a T→C transition that promotes an increase in the expression of the gene (Nakata et al, 2004). The high activity of this gene can be deleterious and contribute to the susceptibility to some diseases, including endometriosis (Nakata et al, 2004), cancers associated with tobacco (Cha et al, 2007), cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus (Wang et al, 2002), and leukemia (Vineis and Perera, 2007).…”
