Introduction. The investigation of molecular and cellular mechanisms of atherosclerosis and the development of restenosis and the possibility of the regulation of these processes by short peptides opens new perspectives for the delivery of vasoprotective prepa…
The neuropeptide galanin (Gal) is widely distributed as well in central and peripheral nervous system, as in other organs and tissues of humans and animals. Its pleotropic effect is due to an activation or inhibition of galanin specific receptors – GalR1, GalR…
Introduction. Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system. As the most frequent genetic alteration BRAF V600E mutation in PTC leads to changes in the activity of intracellular signaling pathways. As a result, expression…
Introduction. Alternative splicing of telomerase catalytic subunit hTERT (human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase) regulates the telomerase activity. The increased expression of non-active spliced hTERT results in inhibition of telomerase. However, very little …
Introduction. Carrier protein OATP1B1, encoded by the SLCO1B1gene, is involved in the transport of simvastatin into liver cells. SLCO1B1 gene polymorphisms influence on the functionality of the transporter, which could reflect on the efficacy and safety of tre…
Introduction. Multihormonality is an ability of pituitary cells to produce more than one hormone. A great number of adenomas are multihormonal in the actual practice. We hypothesize cells of a normal pituitary gland to secret several hormones simultaneously. O…
Introduction. The physiological state of the skin vasculature is largely determined by the influence of environmental factors, including the alteration of the oxygen partial pressure. Obviously, the epidermis, as the surface layer of the skin, should play a ke…
Introduction. The minor population of Sertoli cells (SCs) from the transitional zone (TZ) of adult mouse testis called as TZ SCs is capable of active proliferation in culture and, at the same time, expresses all key SC markers. It could be an optimal source of…
Introduction. At the preoperative stage, the leading diagnostic method for nodular thyroid lesions today is a fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). However the use of FNAB can provide the relatively high portion of poor-information samples (up to 30%) due to t…
The data concerning the changes of expression and posttranslational modification of the human protein under the influence of the external and internal irradiation in vivo and in vitro are presented in this review. The investigation of protein expression and po…
Introduction. The gain of elderly persons in the population of industrial countries provides a high actuality to investigations of pathogenesis of calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS). The aim of the study. To specify the quality and quantity pattern of colla…
ntroduction. Agr2protein belongs to the family of disulfide isomerases of the endoplasmic reticulum and contains active cysteine domains involved in the formation of disulfide bonds with mucins. It is expressed in goblet cells of the intestinal epithelium and …
Introduction. A lot of factors of innate and specific immunity are involved in development of the autoimmune diseases – multiple sclerosis (MS) that cause the damages of myelin envelopes of nerve fibres with irreversible neurological consequences. To decrease …
Calbindin 28 kDa, calretinin and parvalbumin are referred to calcium-binding proteins which are both widely distributed in the nervous system and selectively expressed in certain population of neurons. These proteins are expressed not only in the central nervo…
In acute focal ischemia of the heart and brain similar processes are developing despite the obvious differences in the structure, function, and blood supply of these organs. It was shown that under ischemic conditions synthesis stress induced proteins includin…
Introduction. Recent reports have demonstrated patients with malignant neoplasias have different molecular genetic aberrations. But there are few data available concerning patients with multiple primary tumors (MPT). Aim. To study molecular genetic alterations…
Introduction. The contribution of caspase-dependent apoptosis in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is not fully understood. One possible mechanism of hepatoprotective action of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is the suppression of apopto…
Introduction. Radiotherapy becomes a standard of combination treatment of the rectal cancer. That is why the development of its pathogenetical bases is very impotent. The aim of the study. The purpose of the study was to analyze molecular and morphological eff…
Introduction. Among malignant tumors bladder cancer (BC) ranks fifth in the prevalence rate. In the average each year 20% of BC patients die, but in the case of the making diagnosis at the early stages of the disease, survival rate of patients is increasing.Cy…
Introduction. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major risk factor for chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Molecular mechanisms of fibrogenesis are associated with the activation or inhibition of signaling pathways, which are controlling…
