Introduction. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is notable for its high aggressiveness and low efficiency of diagnostic and treatment approaches. Nuclear receptor HNF4α is one of the possible regulators of the development and differentiation of pancreati…
The aim of our review article was to analyze different biological effects associated with functional allelic variants of certain genes upon the incidence and clinical course of uterine leiomyoma (UL) and some other hyperplastic uterine disorders. Based on a nu…
Lung cancer is one of the most common oncologic diseases in the world and the most frequent cause of the death from malignant neoplasms. Last decade’s studies revealed significant number of molecular events leading to the onset and development of non-small cel…
Introduction. Insulin-like growth factor signaling system plays a major role in the development and progression of various malignant tumors including ovarian cancer, and its components are considered as potential diagnostic and prognostic markers and objects o…
Introduction. Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a key enzyme in nucleotide biosynthesis and is the main intracellular target of 5-FU. We investigated the clinical and prognostic importance of TYMS gene 5' (TSR2/TSR3 and G>C) and 3' (del 6) untranslated region polym…
Introduction. Progress in the treatment of cancer and bone tumors including, is associated with a significant breakthrough in molecular biology, immunology, understanding the causes of the emergence of the tumor cell, patterns of the development and course of …
Introduction. P16INK4a protein plays one of the key role in processes of cell proliferation, its inactivation is noted in a number of tumors of various localization. Restoration of the p16INK4a function in neoplastic cells may promote braking of division of tu…
Introduction. Skeletal involvement is a frequent and troublesome complication of breast malignant tumors. The accurate diagnosis of bone metastasis and well-timed prescription of the antiresorptive therapy are essential for reducing both severity and mortality…
Addictive substances, medication, and environmental substances can permanently disrupt fetal brain development, which might ultimately lead to learning difficulties as well as to many types of behavioral disorders in later life. Congenital defects of this kind…
Introduction. Endocrine factors are considered to be important in the etiology of spontaneous abortion. Aim of the study. Histological and immunohistochemical characterization of the expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors in the gravid endometrium d…
Introduction. The COMT gene encodes for a protein involved in deactivation of genotoxic estrogen species, and the protein product encoded by the L (low activity) allele is 3–5-fold less active than its counterpart encoded by the H (high activity) allele. The a…
Introduction. In spite of active research, no highly specific and sensitive marker of skin melanoma has been found so far. The aim of the study. Studying the level of stem cell factor (SCF), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), sCD44std, and heat shock proteins Hsp2…
Introduction. The features of pathogenesis of main tumors of the female reproductive system are determined by the impact of estrogen on target tissues. In this connection there appears the need to study the regulation of estrogen and progesterone receptors in …
Introduction. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetically heterogeneous disease caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere. Mutations in the genes encoding β-myosin heavy chain (MYH7) and myosin binding protein C (MYB…
Introduction. Rett syndrome (RTT) is the most common genetic syndrome underlying mental retardation and autism in girls. Etiology of this disorder is related to mutation in the MECP2 gene. However, there are many cases of this disease without the MECP2 mutatio…
Introduction. Interactions of exposed on the tumor cell surface or circulating in the bloodstream molecules MICA with activating receptor NKG2D play an important role in the regulation of antitumor immune response. Accumulation of soluble MICA compromises NKG2…
Introduction. One of the main types of a hormonal therapy in the treatment of the cancer of the prostate gland is the antagonists of the NR3C4 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 4) receptor. It blocks binding of man’s hormones with receptors site, …
In the literature review there are presented the modern views on the concept of the pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease (CD). There has been analyzed the role of defects in innate immunity in CD associated with mutations in genes NOD2/CARD15, ATG16L1, IRGM which r…
IL15 proves to be a cytokine that important for innate as well as for adaptive immunity. It is one of the key factors of cell-mediated antiviral response. In this review we touch upon its primary, secondary and tertiary structure and functions, characteristics…
Implantation is the key process for becoming pregnant. Failure of implantation in IVF cycles is one of the main problems of modern reproductology. Search for biomarkers and the determination of the best time and maximal endometrial receptivity for the implemen…
