Objectives: The aim of our study was to analyze the association between some SNPs and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with biological drugs.

Patients and methods: We studied 368 Russian patients with rheumatoid arthritis. All of them were treated in accordance with the standard recommendations. Fifty seven patient received biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (TNFО± C-863A, TNFО± G-308A, TNFО± G-238A, IL1ОІ T-31РЎ, IL4 РЎ-590T, IL6 G-174C, IL10 A-1082G, IL10 РЎ-592Рђ, VEGFA C+936T, VEGFA C-2578A) were determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of PCR-amplified fragments (PCR-RFLP) or RT-PCR.

Results: The IL1β T-31C and VEGFA C+936T SNPs were association with bDMARDs treatment. Homozygotes IL1b -31CC and VEGFА +936 CC were more frequently in bDMARDs group compare with patients without bDMARDs (28.1% vs 17.1%, p=0.044 and 80.4% vs 66.6%, p=0.041). Other polymorphisms didn’t demonstrate any significant differences.

Conclusions: Our data suggest, that IL1ОІ T-31C and VEGFA C+936T SNPs can be used as part of a comprehensive assessment of the prognosis of the treatment effectiveness.

Usually, a detailed analysis of well-known diseases-related genes for the presence of pathogenic variants does not give any meaningful result, despite the good agreement between the patient’s diagnosis and the available data on the mutations manifestation in these genes. This study, we try to disentangle such a cases using gene network aware exome analysis and variants prioritization.

The work analyzed the protein spectrum of blood serum of 45 with bipolar disorder. Protein recruitment in BD was mainly associated with the immune response, regulation of transport processes through the cell membrane and cellular communication, the development of neurons and oligodendrocytes, and cell growth. Cadherin-5 and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 are a marker of endothelial dysfunction. The detection of these proteins suggests the presence of endothelial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of BD. The detection of myelin 1 transcription factor and the literature data on the effect of mutations in the MYT1L gene on the risk of major depressive disorder suggest the MYT1 protein as a potential BD biomarker. The results may help to discover new pathways associated BD.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic progressive systemic inflammatory disease, with a primary lesion of the spine and sacroiliac joints characterized by simultaneously running processes of osteogenesis (syndesmophytes) and osteoresorption (osteoporosis). The aim of this work is to investigate trabecular bone score (TBS) correlation with signs of structural progression of AS in the males before 50. Fourteen AS male patients before 50 without osteoporosis are included in investigation. The relationships between TBS, the Kellgren sacroiliitis stage, and BMD indices in different parts of the skeleton were studied using Spearman correlation analysis. A strong negative correlation was found between TBS and the X-ray stage of Kellgren sacroiliitis (r = -0.69; p <0.05) in men before 50 with AS. BMD does not reflect the degree of structural disturbances and the risks of spinal fractures in men before 50 with AS in the absence of other causes of secondary osteoporosis.

Schizophrenia is known to be associated not only with imbalance in the neurotransmitter systems but also with immune system dysregulation. In this work, we found that pure polyclonal IgG preparations of patients with schizophrenia possess histone hydrolyzing proteolytic activity. The presence of proteolytic activity of IgGs is evidence of impaired humoral immune system in schizophrenia, which can be used as a biomarker for immunophenotyping of patients.

Dietary restriction and ischemic preconditioning are the most efficient approaches ameliorating the severity of different pathological conditions. We investigated the protective potential of long-term calorie restriction and short ischemic preconditioning protocol in the model of acute kidney injury (AKI) in young Wistar and OXYS rats. In young rats, ischemic preconditioning, which consists of 4 cycles of ischemia and reperfusion alleviated kidney injury caused by 40-min ischemia. However, 6-month-old OXYS rats having signs of premature aging lost their ability to protect the ischemic kidney by IPC. However, CR of OXYS rats led to a significant decrease in creatinine and BUN levels after kidney ischemia, indicating significant protection.

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have therapeutic potential in many pathological conditions, that is explained mostly by their paracrine action. MSCs secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) packed with proteins, DNA, RNA and lipids. One of the easily accessible and reach sources of MSCs is placenta. In order to reveal possible pathways, by which EVs produced by placenta-derived MSCs (EVs-PMSC) could realize their therapeutic potential we conducted proteomic analysis of EVs-PMSC and subsequent bioinformatic analysis of identified proteins using Reactome pathway database. Identified peptides were mapped to 2093 proteins. Among the 2093 proteins, 972 proteins were identified in at least four LC-MS/MS analyses out of eight. According to Reactome the most significant ‘top three’ 1st level pathways for detected EVs-PMSC proteins were ‘Cellular responses to external stimuli’; ‘Immune system’; ‘Developmental biology’. Some of the most enriched pathways in the group ‘Cellular responses to external stimuli’ were: ‘Response of EIF2AK4 (GCN2) to amino acid deficiency’; ‘Cellular response to hypoxia’; ‘Detoxification of Reactive Oxygen Species’. Some of the most enriched pathways in the group ‘Immune System’ were: ‘Class I MHC mediated antigen processing & presentation’; ‘Neutrophil degranulation’; ‘Interferon Signaling’. The most enriched pathway in the group ‘Developmental biology’ was ‘Axon guidance’. Thus far, concerning most enriched pathways EVs-PMSC proteome is expected to: 1) provide protection against stress (amino acid deficiency, hypoxia, ROS) to the damaged tissues; 2) possess immunomodulation properties; 3) facilitate axon guidance. The result (the top list of enriched pathways) leads to the notion that EVs-PMSC could be effective in terms of neuroprotection.

Гепатоцеллюлярная карцинома является одной из самых агрессивных опухолей человека с высокой распространенностью и смертностью. В то же время существует проблема устойчивости ГЦК к стандартной терапии. Поиск лекарств, блокирующих рост и метастазирование опухоли, является актуальным. Имеются данные о противоопухолевых свойствах карбоната лития. Целью нашего исследования было определить влияние лития на развитие и структуру кровеносных сосудов экспериментальной гепатоцеллюлярной карциномы-29 (G-29). Исследование было выполнено на самцах мышей CBA. Клетки гепатокарциномы-29 использовали для индукции опухолевого процесса. Изучали экспрессию эндотелиального маркера кровеносных сосудов (CD-31) и ультраструктурную организацию опухолевых сосудов эндотелиальных клеток. Было показано, что карбонат лития уменьшает объемную плотность кровеносных сосудов G-29. Ультраструктурный анализ опухолевых сосудов выявил нетипичный характер их строения. Стенки сосудов были выстланы как эндотелиальными, так и опухолевыми клетками.

The identification of causative miRNAs in colorectal cancer is unclear due to a lack of understanding of how specific miRNAs affect biological pathways and consequences of disease development. The miRNA is a class of nano-sized non-coding RNAs that regulate many mRNAs, and mRNA can be related to many miRNAs, which make them suitable for diagnosis purposes. Therefore it is required to identify candidate genes of colorectal cancer and to what extent they can interact with miRNA. To determine the important miRNAs biding sites in genes, involved in the development of colorectal cancer, there were used the MirTarget program. The paper presents the results of studying the characteristics of the interaction of miRNAs with mRNAs of 135 candidate genes involved in the development of colorectal cancer. The binding sites of 446 miRNAs have in 113 mRNA of genes at 5\’UTR, CDS, and 3\’UTR. Found miRNA binding sites with overlapped nucleotide sequences (clusters). The research results are useful for the development of methods for early diagnosis of this disease.

A.В В В  Motivation

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a conserved multi-functional serine/threonine kinase that regulates various physiological processes, including gene expression, cell signaling [1], cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and intracellular communication. A detailed understanding of the GSK-3ОІ function and its expression in several pathological conditions will help the clinic manage different kidney diseases.

B.В В В  Aim.

Given the role of GSK-3ОІ in the podocytes injury [2,3], we evaluate its expression levels in PBMCs samples of patients with NS.

The expression levels of GSK-3ОІ was evaluated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of cases with the most common types of nephrotic syndrome (NS); MGN (membranous glomerulonephritis) and FSGS (focal segmental glomerulosclerosis) using real-time PCR. Sixty cases (30 FSGS and 30 MGN) were included based on the strict criteria. The results compared with healthy controls (n=24). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used for evaluating the potential of GSK-3ОІ in discriminating cases from controls.

There were statistically significant increases in GSK-3ОІ expression level in NS (P=0.002) and FSGS (P<0.001) groups when compared to controls; however, it was not significant in the MGN group (P= 0.137). The GSK-3ОІ level was also significantly higher in the FSGS group in comparison to the MGN group. ROC curve analysis approved a diagnostic power of GSK-3ОІ in discriminating patients from healthy controls (AUC: 0.72, P= 0.002) with high sensitivity and specificity.
