AB  - Purpose: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common renal cancer in adults and includes several subtypes that may be distinguished by their histology, genetic background, clinical course and responses to treatment. Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), a crucial enzyme for telomere maintenance, has been linked to RCC development. The purpose of this study was to search for genetic and epigenetic alterations in hTERT (promoter mutations and methylation and gene amplification), and to establish a possible association between molecular and clinico-pathological characteristics of RCC. Methods: DNA was extracted from 31 formalin fixed, para,, n-embedded tumor samples and 23 blood samples from 54 patients with RCC. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were sequenced and analyzed using the Sequencher software. HTERT amplification was determined by quantitative PCR, while the promoter methylation status was assessed by methylation specific PCR. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Results: No mutations could be detected in the hTERT promoter but only a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (-245 T > C). In 54 analyzed RCC cases, the variant allele C was present in homozygous or heterozygous form in 48% of the patients. The C allele was significantly more frequent in low grade tumors (p=0.046). Gene amplification was detected in 19.4% of the 31 RCCs and hTERT methylation in 54.8% of the 31 samples. An association was established between methylation and histological type of RCC (p=0.047). Conclusions: HTERT seems to be implicated in RCC pathogenesis since the promoter polymorphism exerts a modulation effect on tumor behavior. In addition, hTERT promoter methylation status is related to RCC histology.

AB  - Purpose: Survivin is thought to play an important role in carcinogenesis and is found to be associated with poor clinical outcome in various malignancies. Gene-31 G/C polymorphism has been identified as a risk factor for the development of several types of tumors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between survivin gene promoter-31C/G polymorphism and urothelial carcinoma (UC) risk in Serbian population and to compare the different expressions of survivin in UC of different disease stages, histological grades and tumor location in the upper or lower urinary tract. Methods: DNA from 94 patients with primary UC and from 82 healthy subjects was subjected to PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (PCR-RFLP) to identify individual genotypes. UC samples were subjected to immunohistochemical analysis to assess survivin expression in these lesions. Results: It was observed that the frequency of G/G genotype was greater in patients with UC (58.7%) than in controls (32%). Compared with study subjects carrying the C/G or C/C genotypes, significantly increased UC risk was found for individuals carrying the G/G genotype. Those carrying the G/G genotype had a significantly increased UC risk compared with those with C/G or C/C genotypes. Patients with UC carrying the G/G genotype had a greater prevalence of muscle -invading (stage T2-T4), high-grade (G2) tumor and immunohistochemicaly overexpressed survivin compared with those carrying the C/G or C/C genotypes. Conclusions: G/G genotype of the -31C/G polymorphism might be a risk factor for UC development.

AB  - Purpose: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignant kidney tumor in adults. Dysregulation of the cell cycle can lead to cancer development. In this study, the mitosis-associated cyclin A and p16, a negative controller, were investigated as potential key points in the RCC development. Methods: This retrospective study included 74 patients with RCC. The expression of cyclin A and p16 and their correlation to histopathological parameters (TNM stage, histological subtype, nuclear grade, tumor size), gender, age, and clinical outcome were studied and analyzed. Results: The highest median value for cyclin A (40%; range 0-70)) and for p16 (57.5%; range 35-80) were found in the papillary histological subtype. Survival analysis showed that in the group of patients that had died before September 2015, the median value for cyclin A was 20% (range 0-60), which was significantly higher than 5% (range 0-70), found in the group of patients that survived (p=0.019). Conclusions: In relation to the histological subtype, the papillary type of RCC was associated with a significantly higher expression of cyclin A and p16 compared to other subtypes of RCC. High expression of cyclin A indicated worse prognosis, therefore cyclin A could be considered to be a significant prognostic marker.

AB  - Free radical-mediated injury releases proinflammatory cytokines and activates innate immunity. It has been suggested that the early innate response and the ischemic tissue damage play roles in the development of adaptive responses, which may lead to acute kidney rejection. Various durations of hypothermic kidney storage before transplantation add to ischemic tissue damage. The final stage of ischemic injury occurs during reperfusion that develops hours or days after the initial insult. Repair and regeneration processes occur together with cellular apoptosis, autophagy and necrosis and a favorable outcome is expected if regeneration prevails. Along the entire transplantation time course, there is a great demand for novel immune and nonimmune injury biomarkers. The use of these markers can be of great help in the monitoring of kidney injury in potential kidney donors, where acute kidney damage can be overlooked, in predicting acute transplant dysfunction during the early post-transplant periods, or in predicting chronic changes in long term followup. Numerous investigations have demonstrated that biomarkers that have the highest predictive value in acute kidney injury include NGAL, Cystatin C, KIM-1, IL-18, and L-FABP. Most investigations show that the ideal biomarker to fulfill all the needs in renal transplant has not been identified yet. Although, in many animal models, new biomarkers are emerging for predicting acute and chronic allograft damage, in human allograft analysis they are still not routinely accepted and renal biopsy still remains the gold standard.

AB  - Survivin, an apoptotic inhibitor, is overexpressed in various types of cancer. Mechanisms of survivin upregulation are still poorly understood, but single nucleotide polymorphisms in the survivin gene promoter have been shown to modulate survivin expression and consequently the risk for some types of cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether survivin promoter -31 G/C and -241 C/T polymorphisms could represent susceptibility factors for Wilms tumor (WT) development in Serbian population. Genotype and allele frequencies for the 2 polymorphisms in survivin promoter have been analyzed by polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism in 59 WT patients and 82 controls. The frequencies of alleles and genotypes were significantly different between patients and controls for the -31 G/C polymorphism. Individuals with CC and CG genotypes had significantly decreased risk of WT compared with GG individuals (odds ratio 0.26, 95% confidence interval, 0.07-0.96; odds ratio 0.30, 95% confidence interval, 0.15-0.60). There was also a statistically significant difference in genotype frequencies between intermediate and high-risk prognostic groups (P = 0.015). The -241 C/T polymorphism did not show association with WT susceptibility. Our findings suggest that the G allele at -31 survivin gene promoter position is associated with a significantly higher cancer risk in Serbian children, with a gene dosage effect.

Individuals with CC and CG genotypes had significantly decreased risk of WT compared with GG individuals (odds ratio 0.26, 95% confidence interval, 0.07-0.96; odds ratio 0.30, 95% confidence interval, 0.15-0.60). There was also a statistically significant difference in genotype frequencies between intermediate and high-risk prognostic groups (P = 0.015). The -241 C/T polymorphism did not show association with WT susceptibility. Our findings suggest that the G allele at -31 survivin gene promoter position is associated with a significantly higher cancer risk in Serbian children, with a gene dosage effect.",

AB  - Purpose: To determine survivin expression patterns in Wilms tumor (WT) and compare it with the expression in normal renal tissue. Also, to analyse cytoplasmic and nuclear survivin expression in relation to histological type, prognostic group and tumor stage. Methods: Immunohistochemical expression of survivin was analysed in 59 cases of primary WT and in 10 normal kidney specimens, taken from the same patients, but distant from the tumor. Results: 51 out of 59 cases of WT (86.44%) showed decreased cytoplasmic survivin expression and 4 out of 59 cases of WT (6.78%) showed nuclear overexpression of survivin. There was statistically significant difference in the frequency of decreased cytoplasmic expression of survivin in individual components of WT (p=0.005). Decreased cytoplasmic expression of survivin in epithelial, blastemal and stromal component was found significantly more often in low stage WT compared to high stage WT (Fisher exact test, p=0.0002, p=0.002, p=0.002, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of survivin nuclear overexpression between different stages of WT (Fisher exact test, p=0.564), histological types (Fisher exact test, p=0.915), or between different prognostic groups (Fisher exact test, p=1). Conclusion: Decreased survivin cytoplasmic expression or nuclear overexpression may be related to favorable prognosis of WT.
