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. Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease that represents a major global health problem. It is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the world, with the incidence of breast cancer increasing year by year in most countries. The existence of …
Introduction. Short peptides are considered a promising class of geroprotective agents capable of modifying key molecular mechanisms of aging, from epigenetic regulation of gene expression to maintenance of neuroendocrine and antioxidant homeostasis. Laborator…
Sarcopenia is a progressive and generalized pathology of skeletal muscles of multi-factor nature. The present review focuses on the analysis of molecular genetic markers that may contribute both to sarcopenia risk formation and the variability of diagnosticall…
Introduction. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by a complex interaction of genetic, immune, and environmental factors. Recently, the study of epigenetic changes has brought new insights into the etiology of atopic dermatitis. Aim of t…
Epigenetics studies inherited mechanisms capable of modulating gene expression without altering the DNA nucleotide sequence. Until very recently, epigenetics included inherited mechanisms, such as DNA methylation and histone modification. As of today, a large …
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`…
Currently, tuberculosis is the second leading cause of death from an infectious agent in the world and an important social and medical-biological problem. The first-line drug isoniazid is one of the most effective antituberculosisdrug, however it has a wide sp…
Introduction authors made an attempt to demonstrate the role of DNA-methylation in pathogenesis of uterine fibroids. The epigenetic aspects based on personal investigations and literary data have been reviewed. The research underlined a perspective of investig…
Introduction. Hypermethylation of CpG islands in tumor-suppressor genes are supposed to be a key mechanism of the development of the myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) The aim of the study. To determine the association between methylation status of SOX7, p15INK4b,…
The formation of properties promoting malignant transformation begins before the appearance of tumor cells at the level of inflammatory and precancerous processes. The basis for these properties is genomic instability of tumor cells. Genetic instability manife…
The most important event in the molecular biology of the last years is the discovery of the regulation of intracellular processes by micro RNAs – a product of complicated processing of precursor RNAs synthesized on nuclear genes, that are playing the key role …
Introduction. DNA methylation is a key epigenetic modification providing the regulation of human genome activity in ontogenesis. DNA methylation patterns were described in the chromosomes from adult lymphocytes. DNA methylation patterns of the chromosomes from…
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 …
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 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 …
