ANALYSIS OF APOPTOSIS FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH PREINVASIVE AND INVASIVE CERVICAL CANCER by P. I. Kovchur, E. V. Bachidze, O. V. Kurmyshkina, T. O. Volkova

“…This article assesses the disturbance degree of apoptotic program in patients with preinvasive and invasive cervical cancer by investigating the expression level of genes of caspases-3, -6, -8 и -9 in mononuclear cells of periphery blood and in tumor tissue on the two regulating levels – on mRNA level (transcriptional) and proteolytic activity (post transcriptional). 75 patients with stage III of cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN) III  (middle age of 32,9 ± 7,4),45 patients with stage IA (31,3 ± 6,0), 21 – with stage II (43,6 ± 13,2), 15 – with stage III–IV (46,9 ± 11,1) have been examined. The control group has been formed from 30 almost healthy donors without any cervical pathology and papilloma human virus (control 1) and 30 patients with a preinvasive and microinvasive cervical cancer (control 2). …”
