  • The resulting cumulative risks by age 70 years are as follows: breast cancer risk of 55% (95% CI, 50% to 59%) for BRCA1 and 47% (95% CI, 42% to 51%) for BRCA2 mutation carriers;and ovarian cancer risk of 39% (95% CI,34% to 45%) for BRCA1 and 17% (95% CI,13% to 21%) for BRCA2 mutation carriers

    good meta-analysis and discussion of the heterogenous penetrance of BRCA1 and BRCA2.  This study found lower penetrance compared to previous studies i.e. 55% breast cancer risk and 39% ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1

    good review of how the different variables influcence the penetrance of BRCA1 and BRCA2.  Not all BRCA1/2 patients will express the same and environment plays a role.

    BRCA are actually SNPs. Great up to date review on the risks of BRCA1 and BRCA1 and the SNPs involved.

    New study casts doubt on survival benefit from bilateral mastectomy in women with BRCA1 or BRCA 2 breast cancer.   Of concern also, only 14% of women had genetic testing done with most occurring at the time of diagnosis.  It is very likely that these women had significant family history that could have been identified if genetic testing was performed earlier.

    radiation from mammograms shown to increase cancer risk in those with BRCA mutations. IN this cohort, the risk was found in those under 30 years of age. In this study, they suggested MRI as a safer alternative. But, what about thermograms?

COVID COVID19 COVID-19 spike proteins spikeopathy cancer SARS-CoV-2

  • toxicity of the spike protein—both from the virus and also when produced by gene codes in the novel COVID-19 mRNA and adenovectorDNA vaccines
  • ‘spikeopathy’;
  • A central issue has been growing evidence of pathogenic effects of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein—whether as part of the virus or produced by genetic codes in the mRNA and adenovectorDNA vaccines
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • It is apparent that the original Wuhan strain and early variants of SARS-CoV-2 in 2020 were more pathogenic than later variants. This is consistent with typical viral adaptive evolution to more infectious but less pathogenic strains, a natural phenomenon
  • SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is pathogenic, whether from the virus or created from genetic code in mRNA and adenovectorDNA vaccines.
  • Evidence suggests reverse transcription of mRNA into a DNA copy is possible
  • further suggests the possibility of intergenerational transmission if germline cells incorporate the DNA copy into the host genome

      Intergenerational and transgenerational!
  • (‘spikeopathy’) via several mechanisms that lead to inflammation, thrombogenesis, and endotheliitis-related tissue damage
  • Interaction of the vaccine-encoded spike protein with ACE-2, P53 and BRCA1 suggests a wide range of possible biological interference with oncological potential
  • Repeated COVID-19 vaccine booster doses appear to induce tolerance and may contribute to recurrent COVID-19 infection and ‘long COVID’.
  • spike protein is not only toxic through binding of ACE-2 receptors
  • interaction with cancer suppressor genes BRCA and P53
  • mitochondrial damage

Ivermectin cancer ovarian cancer oncogene oncogenes

shared by Nathan Goodyear on 20 Mar 18 - No Cached
  • we functionally validated a potent EOC oncogene, KPNB1, and showed its clinical relevance to human EOC
  • a well-established antiparasitic drug, ivermectin, has antitumor effects on EOC through its inhibition of KPNB1
  • EOC has high intertumor and intratumor heterogeneity at the molecular and epigenetic levels
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • the mortality rate of EOC has not been significantly changed for several decades
  • Sequencing revealed that almost all tumors (96%) had mutations in TP53, which serves as a major driver of this cancer
  • Low-prevalence but statistically significant mutations in nine other genes including NF1, BRCA1, BRCA2, RB1, and CDK12 were also identified, but the majority of genes were mutated at low frequency, making it difficult to distinguish between driver and passenger mutations
  • KPNB1 inhibition via any of three KPNB1 siRNAs or importazole treatment induced apoptosis in human EOC cell lines (Fig. 3 A–F and Fig. S4), and was accompanied by an increase in the expression levels of the proapoptotic proteins BAX and cleaved caspase-3
  • Stable overexpression of KPNB1 in SKOV3 and OVCAR3 (Fig. S6) significantly accelerated cell proliferation/survival (Fig. 5 A–C), confirming that KPNB1 functions as an oncogene in EOC
  • KPNB1 overexpression significantly decreased caspase-3/7 activity (Fig. 5D), in addition to the expression levels of cleaved caspase-3 and BAX proteins (Fig. 5E). KPNB1 overexpression also decreased p21 and p27 protein levels (Fig. 5E), as opposed to their increase by KPNB1 inhibition
  • KPNB1 functions as an antiapoptotic and proproliferative oncogene in EOC.
  • Patients with higher expression levels of KPNB1 showed earlier recurrence and worse prognosis than those with lower expression levels of KPNB1
  • KPNB1 acts as an oncogene in human EOC and represents a promising therapeutic target.
  • ivermectin treatment suppressed cell proliferation/viability in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 7A), indicating that it exerts an antitumor effect on EOC
  • ivermectin also induced apoptosis
  • ivermectin increased the expression levels of BAX, and cleaved PARP, as well as p21 and p27
  • KPNB1 inhibition is responsible for the antitumor effect of ivermectin
  • we found that ivermectin synergistically reduced cell proliferation/viability in combination with paclitaxel in human EOC cells
  • Single treatment of ivermectin or paclitaxel reduced tumor growth in nude mice, but, notably, combination treatment of ivermectin and paclitaxel almost completely suppressed tumor growth
  • ERBB2, is amplified and overexpressed in many cancers, including breast (31), ovary (31), colon (32), bladder (33), non-small-cell lung (34), and gastric cancer (35), and is a poor prognostic factor in certain cancer types
  • KPNB1 was the second-highest-ranked gene identified in our screen
  • Increased KPNB1 protein levels have been reported in several cancers, including cervical cancer (42), hepatocellular carcinoma (43), and glioma (44), suggesting KPNB1’s oncogenic potential in these tumor types
  • our findings suggest that KPNB1 might serve as a master regulator of cell cycle by regulating several cell cycle-related proteins, including p21, p27, and APC/C family members
  • higher and/or more-frequent doses of ivermectin than currently approved for humans are well tolerated in humans
  • none of the mice in this study treated with the effective dosage of ivermectin for in vivo anticancer therapy showed severe adverse event
  • we found that the combination of ivermectin and paclitaxel produces a stronger antitumor effect on EOC cell lines than either drug alone
  • Nathan Goodyear on 20 Mar 18
     
    Ivermectin found to be pro-apoptotic for the epithelial ovarian cancer oncogene, KPNB1 in in Vivo study.  This effective anti-parasitic drug inhibits the KPNB1 oncogene.
