Paveli} K: THE ROLE OF GENES AND INFECTION IN MALIGNANT TUMOURS

چکیده

Primljeno studeni 1999 Prema aktualnim spoznajama u nastanku raka klju~nu ulogu imaju dvije skupine gena, koji ina~e ~ine samo mali dio cjelokupnoga geneti~kog ustrojstva. To su onkogeni i tumor-supresorski geni. Ti geni upravljaju stani~nim ciklusom. Mutacijom protoonkogeni postaju onkogeni uzrokuju}i intenzivnu i nezaustavljivu proliferaciju stanica. Za razliku od onkogena, zlo}udni potencijal tumor-supresorskih gena posljedica je njihove inaktivacije. Posljedica je prestanak funkcioniranja nu‘nih ko~nica u stanici koje spre~avaju diobu. Rak nastaje kad se u stanici nagomila stanoviti broj mutacija djelovanjem razli~itih ~imbenika, obi~no tijekom mnogo godina. ^ini se da su geni nasljednog raka odgovorni za manje od 5% svih zlo}udnih tumora. Sve je vi{e informacija o uzro~no-posljedi~noj povezanosti mikroba i raka. Pritom su naj~e{}i etiolo{ki ~imbenici virusi koji u svojem genomu sadr‘avaju gene ~iji proteinski produkti mogu imortalizirati stanicu doma}ina i poticati njezinu proliferaciju. Virusima se pripisuje nastanak ~ak 20% zlo}udnih tumora. Pravodobna vakcinacija ili razvoj lijekova koji }e inhibirati virusne onkoproteine na~in je da se smanji u~estalost tumora viralnog podrijetla.

Human activated macrophages and hypoxia: a comprehensive review of the literature

Macrophages accumulate in poorly vascularised and hypoxic sites including solid tumours, wounds and sites of infection and inflammation where they can be exposed to low levels of oxygen for long periods. Up to date, different studies have shown that a number of transcription factors are activated by hypoxia which in turn activate a broad array of mitogenic, pro-invasive, pro-angiogenic, and pro...

Detection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in Malignant Breast Tissues in Breast Cancer Patients

Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy in women throughout the world. Similar to other cancers, a strong relationship between breast cancer and environmental factors such as infectious agents has been reported. Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite which may play a role in cancer induction. The present study aimed to investigate a possible association between a history of T. gondii ...

Study of Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern and Frequency of Extended Spectrum β-lactamases Genes TEM and SHV in Urinary Tract Isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in Tabriz

Background & objectives: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common types of hu­man infections and Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia are the main causes of urinary tract infection among the gram negative bacteria. The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) among these bacteria and hence resistant strains to β-lactam antibiotics have increased in recent decades...
