title: [Profiles of expression of genes coding kininogen and kinin receptors as a marker of tissue pathology in cervical cancer coexisting with HPV infection].
abstract: Kinins are peptides involved in inflammatory processes, vascular permeability, proliferation and mitogenesis of tumor cells. The majority of kinins actions are mediated through an interaction with cell surface bradykinin receptors BR1 and BR2. Kinins precursor is kininogen (kng). The changes in proteins are initiated by changes in the expression of genes coding these proteins, thus can be a valuable diagnostic markers of malignant processes including cervical carcinoma. The paper presents an analysis of kininogen-kinins receptor genes expression in women treated surgically because of a carcinoma of uterine cervix. Among the studied women in 5 cases previously brachyHDR therapy was applied. In all studied cases HPV 18 infection and in 2 cases a co-infection HPV 16/18 by use of Consensus Primers MY09, MY 11 and type specific primers for HPV 16, 18 was ascertained. In RNA extracts the number of the mRNA copies for kiningen, BR1 and BR2 was assessed using QRT-PCR Taq Man. The higher expression of BR1 than BR2 was marked in the tissue with cancer cells. In the patients after brachytherapy higher expression of BR2 than BR1 mRNA was found. The higher BR1 expression was also shown in iliac lymph nodes in patients with active neoplastic process, opposite to the patients after brachytherapy in whom higher BR2 expression was ascertained. The lack of expression of kng mRNA was found only in 3 specimens. The high expression of kinin receptors especially BR1 in infiltrating carcinoma margin can be a marker of pathology intensity: proliferative potential of neoplasms cells or chronic inflammatory state in the presence of invasive carcinoma.
