AB  - Background: Methotrexate (MTX), a folate analogue, is the most commonly used disease-modifying drug in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, high interindividual differences in drug response are present among RA patients.Research design and methods: In a group of 234 RA patients treated with MTX, we investigated whether rs1650697 polymorphism in DHFR gene may have an impact on MTX efficacy and/or adverse drug effects (ADEs). Relative DAS28 values (rDAS28) were used for the estimation of MTX therapy and all ADEs were recorded. Patients were genotyped for selected polymorphism by real-time PCR method. Results: According to the European League Against Rheumatism criteria after 6 months of MTX therapy, 196 patients (83.8%) were classified as responders (25 (10.7%) were good and 171 (73.1%) were moderate) and 38 patients (16.2%) as nonresponders. ADEs were observed in 55 patients (23.5%). Conclusions: Our results showed that the presence of T allele might be protective against MTX hepatotoxicity measured by transaminase levels (p = 0.05). Furthermore, among patients who also received low-dose corticosteroids, we have found a lower rDAS value in patients with CC genotype (p = 0.039).

AB  - Purpose Gamma-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH), cyclin D1 (CCND1) and thymidylate synthase (TS) genes encode enzymes that are involved in methotrexate (MTX) action. In a group of 184 RA patients treated with MTX, we have investigated whether selected polymorphisms in these genes modulate MTX efficacy and/or have impact on adverse drug effects (ADEs). Methods The efficacy of the MTX therapy has been estimated using the disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28-ESR) based on EULAR criteria and relative DAS28 values (rDAS28). All adverse drug events were recorded. Patients were genotyped for selected polymorphisms of the GGH (-354 G>T and 452 C>T), CCND1 (870 A>G) and TYMS (variable number of tandem repeats, VNTR, and G to C substitution of triple repeat, 3R allele) gene. Association studies have been performed between obtained genotypes and the efficacy and toxicity of MTX. Results According to the EULAR response criteria, 146 RA patients (79.3 %) were classified as responders (good/moderate response) and 38 (20.7 %) as nonresponders (poor response). Higher frequency of the TYMS 3 G/3 G genotype has been found among non-responders as compared to individuals with remaining genotypes (p=0.02). ADEs were recorded in 53 patients. Among those patients eight experienced bone marrow toxicity, all of them carried GGH -354GG genotype (p=0.003). No other significant association were observed. Conclusion The 3 G/3 G genotype of the TYMS gene may indicate predisposition of poor response to MTX and GG genotype of GGH -354 T>G polymorphism may have high predictive value for myelosuppression in RA patients.

AB  - Objectives Identifying genetic predictors of methotrexate (MTX) treatment response in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have great importance for optimising drug doses required for clinical benefit without toxicity. In a group of 125 RA patients treated with MTX we investigated whether selected polymorphisms in genes relevant for MTX action (aminoimidazole-4-carboxiamide ribonucleotide transformylase, ATIC, and dihydrofolate reductase, DHFR) modulate disease activity and/or have impact on therapy side effects. Methods The efficacy of treatment was estimated both by the disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28), based on EULAR criteria, and relative DAS28 (rDAS28) score. Adverse drug events (ADEs) were also recorded. RA patients were genotyped using the PCR-RFLP method, followed by an association study between ATIC -129T>G, DHFR -216T>C and DHFR -317A>G polymorphisms and the efficacy and toxicity of MTX. Results According to the EULAR response criteria, 96 RA patients (76.8%) were classified as responders (good/moderate response) and 29 (23.2%) as non-responders (poor response). rDAS28 values ranged from -0.01 to 0.80 (mean value 0.31 +/- 0.19). Among 125 patients enrolled in this study 39 experienced at least one side effect. The DHFR -317AA genotype was associated with the less favourable response (reduction in rDAS28 score, p=0.05). None of the analysed polymorphisms was associated with MTX toxicity. Conclusion RA patients with DHFR-317AA genotype had less favourable response to MTX Further studies in larger patient populations are necessary to confirm the relationship between the analysed polymorphisms and MTX treatment response.

AB  - Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are rare in children and only a few studies have analyzed their molecular mechanisms. The NPM1 gene encodes for nucleophosmin (NPM) which regulates hematopoiesis. Mutations in exon 12 of the NPM1 cause the nucleophosmin cytoplasmic dislocation and disrupt its functions. We have analyzed mutations of the NPM1 gene in archival bone marrow samples from 17 children with MDS and detected, in one patient, transition C to T in codon 293. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first analysis of NPM1 mutations in childhood MDS and the very first missense mutation of the NPM1 gene reported so far.

AB  - The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of cancer genes contributing to oral squamous cell (OSCC) development and progression and correlate genetic changes to clinical parameters. Human papilloma virus (HPV) 16 detection is also included in the study. 60 samples of OSCC were analysed for erbB2 and c-myc amplification by dPCR, H-ras and p53 point mutations by PCR/SSCP. HPV was detected via amplification of its El and E6 genes. c-erbB2 was altered in 45%, c-myc in 35%, H-ras in 22% and p53 in 60% of samples. HPV was detected in 10% of cases. The frequency of p53 gene mutations showed a statistically significant association with tumour stage. Patients with c-erbB2 and H-ras alterations had lower survival than patients without these alterations. The number of detected genetic changes was remarkable but statistical association with tumour natural history was poor, indicating high clonal heterogeneity and multiple pathways of carcinogenesis.

AB  - Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) regulates the metabolism of folate and methionine, essential components of DNA synthesis and methylation. Polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene have been associated with susceptibility to some types of cancer. We investigated a possible association of MTHFR polymorphisms (677C > T and 1298A > C) and increased risk for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 78 affected children. The frequencies of both MTHFR 677 genotypes and alleles were significantly different between patients and controls. A significant association between CT/TT individuals and reduced risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia was found. The odds ratios were 0.53 (95% confidence interval, 032-0.89) and 0.30 (95% confidence interval, 0.12-0.81). Polymorphism 1298 did not show statistical difference between patients and controls.

AB  - Introduction. p53 gene is the most common tumor suppressor gene involved in pathogenesis oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Protein product of p53 gene contributes to cell cycle control and apoptosis. p53 gene mutations may lead to uncontrolled cell growth. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of mutation in DNA-binding domain of p53 gene. Materials and Methods. In the 60 specimens, the presence of point mutation in exons 5, 6, 7 and 8 was detected using PCR-SSCP method. To confirm the presence of p53 mutation found by SSCP method, five samples were analyzed by sequencing of exon 5. Results. Point mutation affecting exons 5, 6, 7 and 8 were found in 60% of analyzed samples. A higher incidence of mutation was detected in exon 7 and 8 (60%), than in exon 5 and 6. Sequencing of exon 5, confirmed the presence of mutations revealed by SSCP method. Study of associations showed an increase of p53 mutations in poor differentiated and carcinoma of higher clinical stages. Conclusion. p53 gene is one of major factor in control of cell cycle and has important role in pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

AB  - Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the presence of the anti-apoptotic protein bcl-2 in oral squamous cell carcinoma and determine its potential role in the development and progression of this type of tumor. Materials and methods: The expression of bcl-2 was determined in 28 paraffin blocks of oral squamous cell carcinoma using the immunohistochemical method. The percentage of the immuno-reactive cells in positively stained tumor regions was determined using the microscopic analysis and Ozaria software. Results: Positive immunohistochemical test was observed in 19 out of 28 samples (68%) as follows: in 11 samples there was a low (+), in four a moderate (++) and in the last four a high percentage (+++) of stained cells. In the group of patients at the low stage of the disease (T2), 50% of tumor samples showed bcl-2 protein expression whereas in the higher stages (T3 and T4) of positively stained samples, this percentage was 67%. There was a trend of an increasing number of cells with positive bcl-2 staining in the tumors of higher clinical stages but not the level of bcl-2 protein expression. Conclusion: Both parameters, the presence of bcl-2 staining and the percentage of cells with bcl-2 immunoexpression, may act as additional prognostic parameters that indicate an increased proliferative tumor potential.

U grupi pacijenata niskog stadijuma (T2) 50 % uzoraka tumora je pokazivalo ekspresiju bcl-2 proteina dok je u višim stadijumima (T3 i T4) pozitivnih uzoraka bilo 67%. Postojao je trend porasta broja ćelija sa pozitivnom bcl-2 obojenošću kod tumora u višim kliničkim stadijumima, ali ne i povećan nivo ekspresije bcl-2 proteina. Zaključak: Oba parametra, prisustvo bcl-2 obojenosti i procenat ćelija sa bcl-2 imunoekspresijom, mogu predstavljati dopunske prognostičke parametre koji ukazuju na povećan proliferativni potencijal tumora.

AB  - The objective of this study was to assess indirectly the existence of X imprinting and its potential role in a number of clinical characteristics of Turner syndrome patients. Highly polymorphic X linked microsatellite markers were used to determine the origin of the single X chromosome in 13 patients with Turner syndrome. Ten (77%) patients retained the maternal X chromosome (X-m), while only three patients (23%) retained the paternal X chromosome (X-p). Fisher exact statistical test was used for the association of X chromosome origin with the clinical phenotype. No significant difference was found between the two groups of patients regarding the following phenotype characteristics: lymphoedema. at birth, short neck, low posterior hairline, eye anomalies (ptosis, epicanthal folds, hypertelorism, strabismus), multiple pigmented naevi, cardiac and renal anomalies. Absence association between the X chromosome origin and Turner phenotype was confirmed by a meta-analysis combining five studies, including this one. It was only neck webbing that showed a trend of association with X-m.

AB  - In the broadest sense of the word gene therapy is any exogenous influence on gene activity. However this term is frequently used for treatment of disease by introduction of genetic material (genes, parts of genes, antisense olygonucleotides etc) in the patient's tissue. At this moment the possibilities of gene therapies are restricted on treatment of somatic cells only. One of the important criteria for choice of disease that will be treated is absence of other useful therapy, so majority of protocols are for malignant diseases, than for serious monogenic disorders (cystic fibrosis Duchenne muscular dystrophy), AIDS etc. Depending on effects we want, basic strategies for gene therapy are gene augmentation on inhibition of expression, targeted killing of specific cells or gene replacement. For transfer of genetic material viral or non-viral vectors could be used, as well as biolystic techniques with gene guns or direct injection of genetic material in tissue. Application of gene therapy still has several technical problems, but severe side effects are also possible, such as infections by viral vectors or activation of malignant transformation by unpredictable place of insertion of genetic material. Regardless of all difficulties we expect that gene therapy will become part of standard medical practice in the near feature. Manipulations with genetic material have also wild implementation in the experimental work in biomedicine. In our investigation in the area of experimental cardiovascular pharmacology, we will use adenoviral vectors unable for replication carrying oxytocin and vasopressin receptors genes.
AB  - Genska terapija u širem smislu je svaki egzogeni - spoljašnji uticaj na aktivnost određenih gena. Uža i najčešće primenjivana definicija genske terapije podrazumeva tretman bolesti unošenjem genetičkog materijala (geni delovi gena, antisens oligonukleotidi itd) u ciljno tkivo pacijenta. U ovom trenutku genske terapije su ograničene isključivo na telesne tj. somatske ćelije. U izboru bolesti koja će se tretirati genskom terapijom važan kriterijum je da ne postoji drugi efikasan način lečenja, pa se najveći broj protokola odnosi na maligna oboljenja, a potom na teške monogenske bolesti (cistična fibroza, Dišenova mišićna distrofija), SID-u itd. U zavisnosti od željenog efekta postoji nekoliko osnovnih strategija genske terapije pojačanje dejstva gena ili pak inhibicija njegove ekspresije, ciljano ubijanje specifičnih ćelija ili zamena gena. Za prenos genetičkog materijala se koriste virusi ali i neviralni vektori (npr. lipozomi), biolističke tehnike sa primenom "genskog pištolja" ili čak direktno injektiranje genetičkog materijala u tkivo. Pored još uvek brojnih tehničkih ograničenja genska terapija nosi sa sobom probleme vezane za neželjene efekte, kao što su teške infekcije kod korišćenja virusnih vektora, ili pokretanje maligne transformacije usled slučajnog mesta ugradnje unetog genetičkog materijala. Bez obzira na sve poteškoće, očekuje se da će u skoroj budućnosti primena lečenja genima postati deo uobičajene medicinske prakse. Manipulacije genetičkim materijalom i se široko primenjuju i u eksperimentalnom radu u biomedicini. U našem istraživanju iz oblasti kardiovaskularne farmakologije za ispitivanje nonkcije oksitocina i vazopresina konstruisaćemo replikaciono nesposobne adenovirusne vektore koji će nositi gene za receptore za vazopresin i oksitocin.
