Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin inflammatory disease in which Th2-derived cytokines play an essential role. Aim of the study was to assess interleukin 4, 10 and 13 (IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13) serum concentrations in AD patients and to correlate the values with the occurrence of genotypes of selected polymorphisms in genes encoding these cytokines. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy-six AD patients (mean age 11.4 years) and 60 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Blood samples were analyzed for IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13 concentrations with ELISA assay and genotyping for -590C/T IL-4, -1082A/G IL-10 and -1055C/T IL-13 polymorphisms with PCR-RFLP. RESULTS The obtained results revealed statistically higher serum concentration of IL-10 and IL-13 in AD patients when compared to healthy controls (10.30 pg/ml vs. 8.51 pg/ml for IL-10 and 5.67 pg/ml vs. 4.98 pg/ml for IL-13). There were no significant differences between AD patients and controls in regard to IL-4 serum level (5.10 pg/ml vs. 7.1 pg/ml). Analyzing the association between level of the examined cytokines and genotype polymorphisms -590 C/T for the IL-4 gene, -1082 A/G for the IL-10 gene and -1055 C/T for the IL-13 gene, we found a statistically higher IL-10 serum level among carriers of the G allele in the -1082 G/A IL-10 polymorphism both in AD and control groups. We did not find any significant differences between serum level of IL-4 and IL-13 in regard to genotype occurrence in examined polymorphisms: -590 C/T for the IL-4 gene and -1055 C/T for the IL-13 gene. CONCLUSIONS The obtained results confirm the genetic background of IL-10 synthesis in the Polish population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is believed that local factors within the nasal cavities contribute to the formation of nasal polyps. The disruption of local homeostasis mechanisms in a chronic inflammatory process is one of those factors. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression is activated in the course of the immune response to extracellular and intracellular stimuli. Also, an increase of the gene expression can be associated with the development of nasal polyps in patients with chronic sinusitis. THE AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was an evaluation of the role of the -765G/C COX-2 polymorphism in sinusitis pathogenesis in patients with nasal polyps. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group consisted of 100 patients, aged 35-65, with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps and 150 people in the age, sex-, age- and ethnicity-matched control group. The study material included DNA isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes of the patients and the controls. PCR-RFLP method was used in genotyping polymorphic variants of COX-2. RESULTS In comparison to the control group, the group of the patients with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps showed a statistically significant increase in the occurrence frequency of the -765G/C polymorphic variant of COX-2 gene (OR 4.04; 95% CI 2.32-7.03; p > 0.001) and C allele (OR 3.68; 95% CI 2.38-5.68; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The -765G/C genotype of COX-2 can be associated with an increased risk of the occurrence of chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps in the Polish population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Breast cancer and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are key issues for modern medicine. The aim of the current study was to present how cytokines, in the example of IL-6 and its polymorphism, can affect these two conditions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-one women with benign breast tumours, 42 breast cancer patients and 40 HIV-infected females were enrolled in the study. Serum IL-6 levels were determined by ELISA. The IL-6 polymorphism was genotyped by PCR-RFLP. RESULTS Serum IL-6 in patients with benign breast tumours was significantly lower than in females with breast cancer (p = 0.017) and HIV-infected women (p = 0.032). We did not find statistically significant differences in serum IL-6 level between females with breast cancer and HIV-infected women (p = 0.749). Comparing the distribution of genotypes and frequency of the IL-6 (-174) C/G polymorphism between the three study groups - breast cancer patients, patients with benign breast tumours, and HIV-infected patients - we did not find any statistically significant differences. CONCLUSIONS IL-6 can play an important role in pathogenesis of breast cancer and HIV infection and its level is higher than in the control group irrespective of distribution of genotypes and frequency of the IL-6 (-174) C/G polymorphism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) can play a pivotal role in the remodelling of extracellular matrix associated with the development of atherosclerosis. Therefore, the aim of the study was to compare the distribution of genotypes and frequency of alleles of two polymorphisms of the MMP-1 gene promoter, an A/G substitution and a 1G/2G insertion, in correlation with antigen levels of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) in type 2 diabetic patients with or without CHD as well as individuals with normal glucose level without CHD. METHODS Genotypes of 115 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and a subpopulation of 66 patients with coexisting CHD as well as 120 non-diabetic control subjects were determined by PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). RESULTS We demonstrated that antigen levels of MMP-1 in the serum of diabetic patients were significantly higher than those of individuals with normal glucose metabolism (p <0.05). Elevated levels of MMP-1 positively correlated with CHD occurrence in T2DM patients (p <0.01). The distribution of genotypes revealed higher frequency of the 2G/2G polymorphism variant in diabetic patients with CHD [OR 5.76, 95% CI (1.24; 26.87)], thus suggesting its strong association with high level of MMP-1. In T2DM patients with coexisting CHD, a higher frequency of the 2G allele of 1G/2G [OR 1.74, CI 95% (1.01; 2.99)] and the G allele of A/G polymorphism [OR 2.15, 95% CI (1.22; 3.80)] was also found. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that type 2 diabetes mellitus is linked with elevated blood level of MMP-1, and polymorphisms of the promoter region of its gene might be associated with CHD.

Abstract
THE AIM Women with high circulating estrogens concentration have increase risk of breast, endometrium and ovarian cancer, thus it is important to identify factors, including environmental and genetic variability that may be alter estrogen concentration. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the present work the distribution of genotypes and frequencies of alleles of the T/C polymorphism of CYP19 and G/A polymorphism of COMT gene in subjects with endometrial cancer were investigated. Paraffin embedded tumour tissues was obtained from 151 postmenopausal women with endometrial cancer. The polymorphism's were determined by PCR-RFLP methods. RESULTS The distribution of the genotypes of the T/C and G/A polymorphism in both control and patients did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) from those predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg distribution. Additionally, there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in genotype distributions and allele frequencies between subgroups assigned to histological stage. CONCLUSION The results suggest that the CYP19 and COMT polymorphism may not be linked with appearance and development of endometrial cancer but further research, conducted on larger population, are needed to clarify this point.

Abstract
Hamartomas are the third most common cause of solitary pulmonary nodule and the most common benign tumors of lung. Recent study indicated that hamartoma may be associated with a chronic inflammatory diseases. Histochemical analysis of the expression profile of growth-relevant was shown the upregulation of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in hamartomas and surrounding lung parenchyma. We investigated polymorphism G/C at position -173 promoter gene of MIF, pro-inflammatory cytokine in pulmonary hamartoma. This polymorphism of the MIF gene are association with increased production of MIF and have been found to confer increased risk of susceptibility to chronic inflammatory diseases. DNA samples were obtained from hamartoma tissue fixed with formalin, embedded in paraffin, from 52 patients and from blood samples of 123 sex and age matched healthy person served as control. The G/C polymorphism of MIF gene was determined by PCR-based AluI restriction fragment length polimorphism. The frequencies of the C allele did not differ significantly between pulmonary hamartoma patients and healthy controls (18% vs 15%, OR 1.26 CI95% 0.68-2.40). The obtained results suggest no association between G/C polymorphism at promoter gene of MIF and the incidence of pulmonary hamartoma, but our study has a preliminary character and should be extended on larger population.

Abstract
The DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system guards against genomic instability, therefore the mutations in the human MMR genes cause the majority of the hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) and a small percentage of the sporadic colon cancer. hMSH2 is one of MMR genes involved in the correction of mispairing during replication and its mutations are associated with both--microsatellite instability and the hereditary and sporadic colon tumourgenesis. The aim of this study was to analyse the T/G mutation (codon 458) in exon 8 of hMSH2 gene in the sporadic colon cancer cells. We also examined the relationship between the T/G mutation of hMSH2 gene, and the selected prognostic factors such as Dukes' stage, histological grade and lymph node metastasis. We analysed samples of tumour from 75 patients with sporadic colorectal cancers. The mutation in the hMSH2 gene ware determined by the RFLP-PCR. We found T/G mutation in exon 8 of hMSH2 gene in 5 patients (6,7%). There was no statistically significant difference between this mutation and selected clinical parameters. The results of our studies revealed that mutations of hMSH2 gene may lead to development of colorectal cancer. No dependence between the mutation of hMSH2 gene and clinical parameters, suggests that the mutation of hMSH2 gene may have a critical significance for the first steps of carcinogenesis in colon epithelial.

Abstract
The Trp64Arg amino-acid variant of the beta3 adrenoreceptor gene may be associated with a genetic predisposition to human obesity and related disorders, including type 2 diabetes mellitus. This relationship has been reported in various ethnic groups, however it was not extensively studied in Polish population. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the association of Trp64Arg polymorphism of the beta3 adrenergic receptor gene with overweight and type 2 diabetes mellitus in polish subjects. The Trp64Arg polymorphism was determined by PCR-based MspI restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The study population consisted of 358 subjects, among whom 200 were diagnosed as overweight (BMI > 27 kg/m (2)). Among overweight subjects 111 presented with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 89 with normal glucose metabolism. All study participants were unrelated Caucasians and inhabited the city of Lodz, Poland. The frequency of the Arg allele did not differ significantly between overweight and normal weight patients (13 % vs. 11 %, OR 1.17, CI 0.74 - 1.85). The same applied to overweight diabetic patients vs. overweight patients without diabetes mellitus (13 % vs. 13 %, OR 0.97, CI 0.54 - 1.76). The obtained results suggest no association between Trp64Arg polymorphism of the beta3-AR gene and the incidence of overweight and type 2 diabetes mellitus in Polish population.

Abstract
BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene encodes an 1863-amino acid gene product that is implicated in many cellular pathways including transcription, cell-cycle checkpoint control, apoptosis and DNA repair. A role of apoptosis and BRCA1 germ-line mutation in breast cancer appearance was investigated in this study by both apoptosis frequency analysis and mutation screening of BRCA1 among breast cancer cases. Blood was obtained from 40 women with node-negative and node-positive ductal breast carcinomas with uniform tumor size. The blood samples from age matched healthy women (n=42) served as control. BRCA1 gene mutations were determined by PCR-RFLP methods. The apoptotic peripheral blood cells were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. The apoptotic cells were identified in 30% (12/40) of the patients. There were no significant differences in apoptosis frequencies between patients and controls (P > 0.05). Three mutations of BRCA1 gene were identified in apoptosis positive samples from breast cancer women; one Ex20insC and two ExII17delA. Our study implies that apoptosis may be involved not only in sporadic breast carcinoma without BRCA1 mutations, but also in BRCA1-associated breast carcinoma.

Abstract
The breast cancer suppressor proteins BRCA1 and BRCA2 interact with RAD51, a protein essential for maintaining genomic stability by playing a central role in homology-dependent recombinational repair of the DNA double-strand breaks. Therefore, genetic variability in the RAD51 gene may contribute to the appearance and/or progression of breast cancer. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the 5'- untranslated region of RAD51 (a G to C substitution at position 135, the G/C polymorphism) is reported to modulate breast cancer risk. We investigated the distribution of genotypes and frequency of alleles of the G/C polymorphism in breast cancer. Tumor tissues were obtained from postmenopausal women with node-negative and node-positive breast carcinoma with uniform tumor size. Blood samples from age matched healthy women served as control. The G/C polymorphism was determined by PCR-based MvaI restriction fragment length polymorphism. The distribution of the genotypes of the G/C polymorphism did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) from those predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg distribution. There were no differences in the genotype distribution and allele frequencies between node-positive and node-negative patients. There were no significant differences between distributions of the genotypes in subgroups assigned to histological grades according to Scarf-Bloom-Richardson criteria and the distribution predicted by Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P > 0.05). Our study implies that the G/C polymorphism of the RAD51 gene may not be directly involved in the development and/or progression of breast cancer and so it may not be useful as an independent marker in this disease.

Abstract
We analysed the distribution of genotypes of two polymorphisms in the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) gene: C-->T substitution in exon 6 and T-->C substitution in intron 7 in 52 subjects with colorectal cancer. Genotypes were determined in tumour tissue and distant mucosa samples by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. The antigen levels of uPA in cancer tissue were higher than in distant mucosa as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The level of uPA antigens in cancer samples with the C/C genotype of C-->T polymorphism in exon 6 was higher than in samples with C/T and T/T genotypes. No differences in the level of uPA antigens between the alleles of the intron 7 T-->C polymorphism were found. As uPA can be involved in cancer invasion and metastasis, C/C genotype in exon 6 of uPA gene can be further considered as being related to colorectal cancer progression.
