Introduction. Colorectal cancer (CRC) often metastasizes even if the tumor is small in size that is the main cause of death. Complex process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is required for dissemination of tumor cells. EMT leads to the transformatio…
Aim. Lynch Syndrome, which is caused by a defect in one of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes, is the most common among all hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes. Patients with Lynch syndrome in different populations are inherent in both genetic and clinical fea…
Breast cancer (BC) occupies the first place in morbidity and mortality rate in females in developed counties. From the point of view of biology BC proves to be the heterogenic disease, caused by genetic variability. It determines the phenotype of tumor and sen…
Introduction. Epigenetic changes caused by methylation in promoter CpG-islands are a fine and dynamic mechanism of gene expression regulation in tumors. Increased and decreased expression and alterations in the methylation status of the gene are considered to …
Introduction. The prevalence of human cutaneous melanoma (CM) in the world is constantly rising. Diagnostics and treatment of CM at the early stages allows to increase the 5-year patient survival up to 90%. This problem can be solved with personalized therapy …
Introduction. PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is an important intracellular regulatory mechanism controlling cues of growth factors stimuli, apoptosis, proliferation, and cell motility. Deregulation of activity/expression of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway proteins dete…
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…
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…
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. 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. 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, …
Introduction. A novel 3S-paradigm of alternative experimental anti-cancer drug testing procedure was developed in parallel with a modern conception of personalized and predictive medicine to reveal both positive and negative effect in each experiment and topre…
Targeted delivery of anticancer drugs is a new direction aimed to delivery preparations capable of enhancing selectivity of action of drugs owing to the use of vector molecules. Targeted drug delivery system is the construction that includes three components: …
Introduction. The paper presents basic information about the modern role of the IMF in various biochemical processes. Emphasis is placed on the role of MMPs in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. These published data suggest ambiguity of scientific views on the…
