Ensaio do micronúcleo como indicador de genotoxicidade em indivíduos com albinismo e histórico prévio de câncer de pele

Abstract: <div>Introdução: A ausência congênita da melanina, um fator de proteção à exposição solar, confere aos indivíduos com albinismo um risco elevado de desenvolver tumores malignos de pele. O teste do micronúcleo destaca-se entre os ensaios biológicos para o monitoramento de indivíduos sob risco carcinogênico. Em células da mucosa oral, uma frequência elevada de micronúcleos é indicativa de altas taxas de mutação e tem sido relacionada ao desenvolvimento de carcinomas neste tecido. Objetivo: O objetivo deste… Show more

“…Complete albinism in cats is often associated with a mutation in the tyrosinase gene (TYR) (22). Patients with decreased pigmentation (vitiligo or albinism) had a higher frequency of micronucleated cells compared to that of healthy people (23,24). This fact agreed with the genetic instability and carcinogenesis induction observed in an organism without the protection from radiation or the neutralization of free radicals performed by melanin (11,18).…”

“…Thus, the identification of genetic changes that cause disease included chromosome instability and were important tools for the basis of diagnostic criteria that contributed to a better understanding of the etiology of disease and facilitated decisionmaking regarding treatment. The genetic changes appeared in the early stages of disease, even earlier than the clinical manifestations, and they could be very useful biomarkers for determining a prognosis (1,3,27).…”

“…On the other hand, in vitro genotoxicity assays determine whether there were genetic mutations, changes in chromosome structure or in the number of chromosomes or other genetic or DNA toxicities. As examples, comet (Aranha, 2014;Junior, 2012;Karahalil et al, 2014;Zhang, Li, Yang, 2015;Gomes, 2008) or micronuclei (Gomes, 2008;Araldi et al, 2015;Carrard et al, 2007;Darne et al, 2016;Guo et al, 2016;Nersesyan et al, 2006;Rodrigues et al, 2013) assays can be mentioned. If any of these in vitro tests are positive, in vivo tests should be performed or it can be assumed that the biomaterial may be mutagenic.…”
