Human peripheral blood contains RNA in cells and extracellular membrane vesicles, microvesicles exosomes, as well cell-free ribonucleoproteins. Circulating mRNAs noncoding RNAs, being internalized, possess the ability to modulate vital processes recipient cells. In this study, with SOLiD sequencing technology, we performed identification, classification, quantification of RNAs from fractions: cells, plasma, plasma vesicles pelleted at 16,000<mml:math...

Glioblastoma is one of the most malignant and aggressive tumors central nervous system. Despite standard therapy consisting maximal surgical resection chemo- radiotherapy, median survival patients with this diagnosis about 15 months. Oncolytic virus promising areas for treatment neoplasms. In review, we have focused on emphasizing recent achievements in virotherapy, both as a monotherapy combination other therapeutic schemes to improve rate quality life among glioblastoma.

Vaccinia virus (VACV) oncolytic therapy has been successful in a number of tumor models. In this study our goal was to generate double recombinant vaccinia (VV-GMCSF-Lact) with enhanced antitumor activity that expresses exogenous proteins: the protein lactaptin and human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Lactaptin previously demonstrated act as suppressor mouse hepatoma well MDA-MB-231 adenocarcinoma cells grafted into SCID mice. VV-GMCSF-Lact engineered from Lister...

Short nuclear regulatory RNAs play a key role in the main stages of maturation precursors major RNA species. Small (snRNAs) form core spliceosome and are responsible for splicing pre-mRNA molecules. nucleolar (snoRNAs) direct post-transcriptional modification pre-rRNAs. A promising strategy development non-coding (ncRNAs) mimicking molecules is introduction modified nucleotides, which normally present natural ncRNAs, into structure synthetic RNAs. We have created set snoRNAs snRNA analogs...

Lactaptin, the proteolytic fragment of human milk kappa-casein, induces death various cultured cancer cells. The mechanisms leading to cell after lactaptin treatment have not been well characterized. In this study in vivo and vitro effects a recombinant analogue (RL2) were examined. Following with strong caspase -3, -7 activation was detected. As consequence we observed appearance sub-G1 population cells subdiploid DNA content. Dynamic changes mRNA protein levels apoptosis-related genes...

Genetic modifications of the oncolytic vaccinia virus (VV) improve selective tumor cell infection and death, as well activation antitumor immunity. We have engineered a double recombinant VV, coding human GM-CSF, apoptosis-inducing protein apoptin (VV-GMCSF-Apo) for comparing with earlier constructed VV-GMCSF-Lact, another protein, lactaptin, which activated different death pathways than apoptin. showed that both these VVs more considerably set critical apoptosis markers in infected cells VV...

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapeutic approach to the treatment of malignant tumors, especially glioblastoma, most frequent and incurable brain tumor. For successful BNCT, boron-containing therapeutic agent should provide selective effective accumulation 10B isotope inside target cells, which are then destroyed after irradiation. Nucleic acid aptamers look like very prospective candidates for carrying tumor cells. This study represents first example using 2′-F-RNA...

For many years, the gold standard in study of malignant tumors has been vitro culture tumor cells, vivo xenografts or genetically modified animal models. Meanwhile, three-dimensional cell models (3D cultures) have added to arsenal modern biomedical research. 3D cultures reproduce tissue-specific features tissue topology. This makes them relevant terms differentiation, metabolism and development drug resistance. Such are already being used by research groups for both basic translational...
