Introduction. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) – a family of extracellular zinc-containing proteases. There are currently 25 known MMP. Increased activity of MMP observed in some physiological processes – during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and du…
Introduction. Сhronic sialadenitis is an inflammatory salivary gland disease with unclear etiology and not fully understood pathogenesis. A special attention of researchers is paid to the study of various molecular markers secreted in the course of chronic inf…
Introduction.Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is the second most common malignancy of the genitourinary tract. Cystoscopy and urine cytology are the traditional most used techniques for diagnosis and surveillance of superficial bladder cancer. Urinec…
Introduction. Breast cancer pathogenesis is associated with alterations in processes of regulating of IGF effects and also in IGF-signaling pathway activation. The direct correlation between high IGF blood serum levels and the rescue of malignancies in prostat…
Introduction. Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) signaling system plays a key role in development and progression of various malignant tumors, and its components may be considered as prospective diagnostic and prognostic markers and potential objects of target…
The content of VEGF and some components of plasminogen activation system (uPA, PAI-1 and tPA) was determined by enzyme immunoassay methods in the tumors from 121 endometrial cancer patients and in 18 samples of endometrial hyperplasia. Concentrations of uPA an…
The prognosis of one of the most commonly occurring malignancies worldwide – colorectal cancer (CRC) – depends on the development of disease recurrence and distant metastases, most frequently detected in the liver. The aim of our research was to study the asso…
Salinomycin is referred to the group of the polyether antibiotics with ionophore activity. Currently salinomycin is considered as a potential anticancer drug. The aim of this work was to investigate the cytotoxic activity of salinomycin against MDR1+ (Mel-8) a…
RANK/RANKL/OPG system – is a key element in bone homeostasis. In this review we depict the basic principles of functioning of this system and known genetical anomalies affecting its components. Also we describe a number of pathological states associated with d…
The influence of the DNA minor groove binding ligands on epigenetic silencing in eukaryotic human cells has been demonstrated for the first time. Using HeLa cell population that harbors silent GFP-reporter gene under control of the CMV promoter we demonstrated…
The modern strategies of chemotherapy of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) based on the combination of cytotoxic and targeted angents resulted in significant increase of patient’s life duration. To study the action of anti-EGFR agents (panitumumab), which blo…
A literature review is devoted to the analysis of clinical significance of key factors of neoangiogenesis in ovarian cancer patients, their connection with the main clinical and morphological characteristics of the disease, prognosis, features an anti-angiogen…
Early diagnosis of ovarian cancer (OC) remains to be the actual problem in modern oncology due to the high mortality rate, asymptomatic course of the disease in the early stages and its aggressiveness. The aim was to study the genetic polymorphism of pathogene…
Immunohistochemical and molecular biological characterization of Ewing’s sarcoma family tumors is proposed. Immunophenotypical heterogeneity is shown to be noted, besides genome defects found in tumours.
The paper presents the results of our own investigation of abnormal methylation of tumor suppressor genes RASSF1A, P16, CDH1, LAMC3, DAPK in tumors and non-tumor tissues obtained from 64 patients with superficial bladder cancer. The purpose of the research is …
Ethiology and pathogenesis of bone tumors presenting a rare group of oncological diseases, are not fully understood. We have studied 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms rs7921 (GH1), rs7956547(IGF1), rs3761243(GNRH2), rs11737764(FGF2), rs6599400(FGFR3), rs169091…
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is one of the aggressive forms of cancer, which often presents at advanced stages, being associated with poor prognosis and low survival rates. Therefore, the delivery new biomarkers for early cancer detection and predicti…
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent complication associated with increased mortality in cancer patients. The basic role in pathogenesis of thrombotic complication in cancer patients is played by changes in the hemostatic system caused by the tumor itsel…
Serum κ- and λ- free light chains and their ratio were measured in 126 patients (23-80 years old) with monoclonal gammopathies and 60 normal individuals (25-82 years old). The free light chains (FLCs) assay was performed using the FreeliteTM test-system (The B…
Associations between matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2, 7, 9, tissue MMP inhibitor TIMP-1 and plasminogen activation system components (uPA, tPA and PAI-1) plasma and/or tumor levels in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients were evaluated in order to reveal their po…
