There is a growing body of evidence confirming the validity of the concept of cancer stem cells (CSCs). It is becoming increasingly obvious that CSCs, possessing higher tumorigenicity, metastasis-initiating activity and chemoresistance, are a source of tumor g…
In present study, we investigated the proteasome and calpain activities in patients with endometrial hyperplasia (EH) and endometrial cancer (EC), as well as proteasome subunit composition in EC tissue. EC development was shown to be associated with increased …
The role of aromatase P450 in the pathogenesis of external genital endometriosis (IEG) has been investigated. 45 women with endometriosis have been included in the study, the group of comparison was consisted of 9 healthy women. The examination included a lapa…
In the current study the association of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene G894T and VNTR polymorphisms with the risk of miscarriage in ethnically homogeneous population has been investigated. The frequency of A/B VNTR genotype was revealed to p…
Introduction.Uveal melanoma (UM) is one of the most frequent intraocular tumors. Mutations in new oncogenes GNAQ and GNA11 are found in more than 50% of UM. GNAQ gene and its homologue GNA11 are coding the alpha subunit of heterotrimeric G-protein with GTPase …
Introduction.SLCO1B1 encodes the organic anion–transporting polypeptide which has been shown to regulate the hepatic uptake of statins. SLCO1B1*5 genetic variant is associated with statin-induced myopathy. The aim of the study. Aim of the study is to research …
We have studied BDNF gene Val66Met polymorphism in patients with a high risk of mortality due to stroke or severe head injury. Genotype ValVal rate was higher than that of in the control group in the total sample of subjects (75,5% and 63,6%; χ2=4,63; df=1; p=…
Aim. To study a method of risk assessment neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with the genetic and clinical risk factors. Methods. The study included 255 patients with neovascular AMD (NVAMD) and 119 subjects in control group. Diagnosis and stag…
The results of the study of endothelin-1(Lys198Asn) polymorphism in Transbaikalia region in patients of russian and buryat nationality with peripheral vitreoretinal degeneration are presented. In patients the frequency of Asn-allele is higher than in healthy c…
Regulatory T-cells CD4+CD25+FoxP3+CD127low (Тregs) belong to the family of CD4+ T-cell subpopulation. Tregs display the suppressive activity and play a critical role in regulation and maintenance of autotolerance and immune homeostasis. The generation and diff…
Based on literature and own data the role of genotoxic events in nosogenesis of hereditary, congenital and somatic diseases is considered. Special emphasis is paid to the analysis of significance of premutagenic DNA lesions and as well induced gene mutations i…
The article presents results of a comparison of clinical, genealogical and molecular genetic data of the study of the role of gene polymorphisms of renin - angiotensin system (REN (G83A), AGT (M235T), AGTR1 (A1166C)) in children with hypertension, with taking …
