Introduction. Cancer drug resistance is driven among others, by non-genetic mechanisms. These processes may involve transcription factors dysregulation, modifications in gene expression, as well as epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modific…
Introduction. Cancer cell drug resistance in melanoma is associated with evasion of apoptosis-induced stimuli. Assessing the level of expression of the BCL2 and SIRT1 genes in distant organs and the tumor node makes it possible to assess the resistance of mela…
Introduction. Among the heterogeneous population of tumor cells, there are so-called dormant and senescent cells located in the G0 phase of the cell cycle. The transition to the G0 phase is a stress response mediated, for example, by treatment with chemotherap…
Introduction. A transition of proliferating cancer cells to a G0 phase of a cell cycle considered to be implicated in cancer cell drug resistance. The aim of the study. A separation of G0-positive melanoma B16 cells fraction that correspond to resting followed…
Pre-metastatic niche formation precedes tumor dissemination although the mechanisms of it remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate the expression of molecules characterizing the microenvironment remodeling in target organs lungs and live…
Introduction. Early diagnostics of such oncological disease as cutaneous malignant melanoma is strictly important for the decrease of mortality. It is known that microRNA expression in melanoma cells and in bening melanocytic nevi is different, that can be use…
Introduction. Uveal melanoma is a malignant neoplasm of neuroectodermal origin, prone to early metastasis. The tumor microenvironment, including «inflammatory cells» and connective tissue cells, affects its progression, angiogenesis and metastasis. Purpose. To…
Cutaneous melanoma is a highly heterogeneous malignancy, which characterized by low effectiveness of chemotherapeutic antitumor agents. 50% of melanomas have a somatic mutation in BRAF oncogene, leading to uncontrolled activation of mitogen-activated protein k…
Introduction. The telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (TERT) promoter region is frequently mutated in different types of cancer. Several studies have shown patients who carry the mutation –245T>C (rs2853669) to have a worse prognosis. The aim of the study is…
Introduction. Uveal melanoma (UM) is a tumor of neuroectodermal origin developing from melanocytes of the uveal tract. The very common pathological characteristic of UM is its metastatic activity in liver, leading to the poor efficiency of the treatment. That`…
Introduction. Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults. This type of cancer is characterized by the high metastatic activity in the liver, which is the crucial factor for 95% of patients’ bad outcome in any case of the treatme…
Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare, aggressive intraocular malignant tumor, leading to metastatic disease in more than 50% of patients. Cytogenetic and molecular studies have identified some genetic prognostic factors considered to be reliable to forecast the survi…
The frequency of reported cases of melanoma and related mortality rates continue to increase worldwide. The study of the basic mechanisms of both the initiation and development of this highly aggressive tumour proves to be important for the identification of t…
Introduction. Kisspeptin, was originally identified as a protein suppressing metastasis, since it has the ability to inhibit the migration of melanoma cells. It was established that KISS1 / KISS1R has a significant impact on the process of puberty and regulate…
Review is devoted to systems for drug delivery of biologically active substances in the tissues and organs of the target cells, which is relevant to medicine. There are described properties of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which many authors propose to use…
Introduction. Hormonal aspect in the pathogenesis of melanoma development is still poorly studied. Tumor transplantation to experimental animals allows to study the effect of malignant process on different systems and organs, detect the saturation of tumor and…
Introduction. The study of growth factors in tissues of various kinds of nevi alongside with the skin melanoma can provide valuable information about the pathogenesis of the latter, determine the factors of early diagnostics of melanoma, as well as outline the…
Introduction. Skin melanoma is referred to hormone-dependent tumors, the mechanism of influence of endocrine factors on pathogenesis of the tumor, however, has not been determined so far The aim of the study. The studying of the level of steroid hormones, prol…
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. 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…
