Abstract
The epidemiologically important food-borne trematode Opisthorchis felineus infests the liver biliary tract of fish-eating mammals and causes disorders, including bile duct neoplasia. Many parasitic species release extracellular vesicles (EVs) that mediate host-parasite interaction. Currently, there is no information on O. felineus EVs. Using gel electrophoresis followed by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry, we aimed to characterize the proteome of EVs released by the adult O. felineus liver fluke. Differential abundance of proteins between whole adult worms and EVs was assessed by semiquantitative iBAQ (intensity-based absolute quantification). Imaging, flow cytometry, inhibitor assays, and colocalization assays were performed to monitor the uptake of the EVs by H69 human cholangiocytes. The proteomic analysis reliably identified 168 proteins (at least two peptides matched a protein). Among major proteins of EVs were ferritin, tetraspanin CD63, helminth defense molecule 1, globin 3, saposin B type domain-containing protein, 60S ribosomal protein, glutathione S-transferase GST28, tubulin, and thioredoxin peroxidase. Moreover, as compared to the whole adult worm, EVs proved to be enriched with tetraspanin CD63, saposin B, helminth defense molecule 1, and Golgi-associated plant pathogenesis-related protein 1 (GAPR1). We showed that EVs are internalized by human H69 cholangiocytes via clathrin-dependent endocytosis, whereas phagocytosis and caveolin-dependent endocytosis do not play a substantial role in this process. Our study describes for the first time proteomes and differential abundance of proteins in whole adult O. felineus worms and EVs released by this food-borne trematode. Studies elucidating the regulatory role of individual components of EVs of liver flukes should be continued to determine which components of EV cargo play the most important part in the pathogenesis of fluke infection and in a closely linked pathology: bile duct neoplasia. SIGNIFICANCE: The food-borne trematode Opisthorchis felineus is a pathogen that causes hepatobiliary disorders in humans and animals. Our study describes for the first time the release of EVs by the liver fluke O. felineus, their microscopic and proteomic characterization, and internalization pathways by human cholangiocytes. Differential abundance of proteins between whole adult worms and EVs was assessed. EVs are enriched with canonical EV markers as well as parasite specific proteins, i.e. tetraspanin CD63, saposin B, helminth defense molecule 1, and others. Our findings will form the basis of the search for potential immunomodulatory candidates with therapeutic potential in the context of inflammatory diseases, as well as novel vaccine candidates.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive type of brain tumors resistant to a number of antitumor drugs. The problem of therapy and drug treatment course is complicated by extremely high heterogeneity in the benign cell populations, the random arrangement of tumor cells, and polymorphism of their nuclei. The pathogenesis of gliomas needs to be studied using modern cellular technologies, genome- and transcriptome-wide technologies of high-throughput sequencing, analysis of gene expression on microarrays, and methods of modern bioinformatics to find new therapy targets. Functional annotation of genes related to the disease could be retrieved based on genetic databases and cross-validated by integrating complementary experimental data. Gene network reconstruction for a set of genes (proteins) proved to be effective approach to study mechanisms underlying disease progression. We used online bioinformatics tools for annotation of gene list for glioma, reconstruction of gene network and comparative analysis of gene ontology categories. The available tools and the databases for glioblastoma gene analysis are discussed together with the recent progress in this field.

Abstract
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is based on the ability of the boron-10 (10B) isotope to capture epithermal neutrons, as a result of which the isotope becomes unstable and decays into kinetically active elements that destroy cells where the nuclear reaction has occurred. The boron-carrying compounds—L-para-boronophenylalanine (BPA) and sodium mercaptoundecahydro-closo-dodecaborate (BSH)—have low toxicity and, today, are the only representatives of such compounds approved for clinical trials. For the effectiveness and safety of BNCT, a low boron content in normal tissues and substantially higher content in tumor tissue are required. This study evaluated the boron concentration in intracranial grafts of human glioma U87MG cells and normal tissues of the brain and other organs of mice at 1, 2.5 and 5 h after administration of the boron-carrying compounds. A detailed statistical analysis of the boron biodistribution dynamics was performed to find a ‘window of opportunity’ for BNCT. The data demonstrate variations in boron accumulation in different tissues depending on the compound used, as well as significant inter-animal variation. The protocol of administration of BPA and BSH compounds used did not allow achieving the parameters necessary for the successful course of BNCT in a glioma orthotopic xenograft mouse model.

Abstract
Arylamines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are hazardous anthropogenic pollutants in the environment. The toxicity of PAHs, which include benzo(α)pyrene (BP), is mediated by the activation of Р450 cytochromes of the 1А subfamily (CYP1A1 and CYP1A2). Previously, we have demonstrated that tocopherol, quercetin, and menadione inhibit the expression and activity of CYP1A in the liver of male Wistar rats after administration of a high BP dose to the rats for 3 days. Here, we confirmed the effects of tocopherol, quercetin, and menadione on the expression and activity of CYP1A and on rat liver morphology during prolonged administration (90 days) of a low BP dose. We revealed that subchronic oral administration of a low BP dose has no influence on CYP1A expression as compared to controls but can cause pathomorphological changes in rat liver tissue. These changes are abrogated by tocopherol, attenuated by quercetin, and enhanced by menadione.

Abstract
Here we present the analysis of alternative splicing events on an example of glioblastoma cell culture samples using a set of computer tools in combination with database integration. The gene expression profiles of glioblastoma were obtained from cell culture samples of primary glioblastoma which were isolated and processed for RNA extraction. Transcriptome profiling of normal brain samples and glioblastoma were done by Illumina sequencing. The significant differentially expressed exon-level probes and their corresponding genes were identified using a combination of the splicing index method. Previous studies indicated that tumor-specific alternative splicing is important in the regulation of gene expression and corresponding protein functions during cancer development. Multiple alternative splicing transcripts have been identified as progression markers, including generalized splicing abnormalities and tumor- and stage-specific events. We used a set of computer tools which were recently applied to analysis of gene expression in laboratory animals to study differential splicing events. We found 69 transcripts that are differentially alternatively spliced. Three cancer-associated genes were considered in detail, in particular: APP (amyloid beta precursor protein), CASC4 (cancer susceptibility candidate 4) and TP53. Such alternative splicing opens new perspectives for cancer research.

Abstract
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) that is of the highest attractiveness due to its selective action directly on malignant tumor cells is a promising approach to treating cancers. Clinical interest in BNCT focuses in neuro-oncology on therapy for gliomas, glioblastoma in particular, and BNCT may be used in brain metastatic involvement. This needs an epithermal neutron source that complies with the requirements for BNCT, as well as a 10B-containing agent that will selectively accumulate in tumor tissue. The introduction of BNCT into clinical practice to treat patients with glial tumors will be able to enhance therapeutic efficiency.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Currently one of the most promising approaches in development of cancer virotherapy is based on the ability of oncolytic viruses to selective infection and lysis of tumor cells. AIM The goal of the study was to identify and evaluate perspective oncolytic viruses capable of selectively destroying human glioma cells. PATIENTS AND METHODS Original GB2m, GA14m and GB22m glioma cell cultures derived from patients were used for evaluating in vitro oncolytic activity of some typical orthopoxviruses, adenoviruses and parvoviruses. RESULTS The oncolytic activity in the human glioma cell models was confirmed for LIVP and WR strains of vaccinia virus, Adel2 and Ad2del strains with deletions within E1B/55K gene and derived from human adenoviruses type 2 and 5, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We consider these oncolytic viruses as promising agents for the treatment of human malignant glioma.

Abstract
Despite the advances of modern medicine, malignant glioblastoma cure remains an elusive goal. Both the invasive nature and location in vital areas of the brain make this type of tumors difficult for surgical treatment, while the current adjuvant therapy is not as successful as expected. Frequent recurrence and invasiveness of malignant gliomas is due to resistance of glioma stem cells to conventional radiation and chemotherapy. Technological advances in constructing recombinant viruses have allowed creating strains with high oncolytic activity toward glial tumors. Many of these strains have passed Phase I of clinical trials and demonstrated high safety. Despite the obvious potential of the approach, efficiency of the existing strains is still far from being sufficient for effectively curing the disease and require further improvement. The review summarizes results obtained with the most successful variants of oncolytic viruses that come down to the clinical trials and discusses the prospects for new approaches in virotherapy of malignant gliomas.

Abstract
D-glucuronyl C5-epimerase (GLCE) is a potential tumor-suppressor gene involved in heparan sulfate biosynthesis. GLCE expression is significantly decreased in breast tumors; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study examined the possible epigenetic mechanisms for GLCE inactivation in breast cancer. Very little methylation of the GLCE promoter region was detected in breast tumors in vivo and in breast cancer cells (MCF7 and T47D) in vitro and GLCE expression in breast cancer cells was not altered by 5-deoxyazacytidine (5-aza-dC) treatment, suggesting that promoter methylation is not involved in regulating GLCE expression. Chromatin activation by Trichostatin A (TSA) or 5-aza-dC/TSA treatment increased GLCE expression by two to 3-fold due to an increased interaction between the GLCE promoter and the TCF4/β-catenin transactivation complex, or H3K9ac and H3K4Me3 histone modifications. However, ectopic expression of TCF4/β-catenin was not sufficient to activate GLCE expression in MCF7 cells, suggesting that chromatin structure plays a key role in GLCE regulation. Although TSA treatment significantly repressed canonical WNT signaling in MCF7 cells, it did not influence endogenous TCF4/β-catenin mRNA levels and activated TCF4/β-catenin-driven transcription from the GLCE promoter, indicating GLCE as a novel target for TCF4/β-catenin complex in breast cancer cells. A correlation was observed between GLCE, TCF4 and β-catenin expression in breast cancer cells and primary tumors, suggesting an important role for TCF4/β-catenin in regulating GLCE expression both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, the results indicate that GLCE expression in breast cancer is regulated by a combination of chromatin structure and TCF4/β-catenin complex activity.

Abstract
We studied in vitro effect of epithermal neutrons in various doses on viability of glioblastoma U87 tumor cells. Increasing the dose from 1.9 to 4.1 Sv promoted cell death. Cytofluorimetric analysis revealed no activation of apoptosis in the irradiated cells, which attested to necrotic death of the tumor cells exposed to epithermal neutron radiation.

Abstract
The function of the gene gilgamesh (89B9-12) encoding a casein kinase in Drosophila spermatogenesis was studied. The chimeric Gilgamesh-GFP protein in spermatocytes is cortically located. In the polar and apolar spermatocytes, it concentrates at the terminal ends of the fusome, the organelle that passes through the system of ring canals of the spermatocyte cyst. At the stage of spermatid elongation, the protein associates with the nucleus. A spot of the highest Gilgamesh-GFP concentration in the nucleus co-localizes with gamma-tubulin in the basal body. At later stages, Gilgamesh is localized to the individualization complex (IC), leaving the nuclei somewhat before the IC investment cones, as detected by actin binding. The sterile mutation due to the gilgamesh gene leads to the phenotype of scattered nuclei and altered structure of actin cones in the individualizing spermatid cyst. Ultrastructural evidence confirmed defective spermatid individualization due to the mutation. The phylogenetic origin of the protein, and the connection between vesicular trafficking and spermatid individualization, are discussed.

Abstract
The cellular function of the gilgamesh mutation (89B9-12) of casein kinase gene in Drosophila spermatogenesis was studied. It was demonstrated that the sterility resulting from this mutation is connected with the abnormalities in spermatid individualization. A phylogenetic study of the protein sequences of casein kinases 1 from various organisms was conducted. The Gilgamesh protein was shown to be phylogenetically closer to the cytoplasmic casein kinase family, represented by the YCK3, YCK2, and YCK1 proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and animal gamma-casein kinases. It is known that these yeast casein kinases are involved in vesicular trafficking, which, in turn, is related in its genetic control to the cell membrane remodeling during spermatid individualization. Thus, the data of phylogenetic analysis fit well the results obtained by studying the mutation phenotype.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, mitotic events are controlled by evolutionarily conserved cyclin-dependent kinases (cdk): these kinases phosphorylate cell proteins, which causes structural reorganization of the entire cell. Our recent studies of Drosophila syncytial embryos have demonstrated that cdk1 activity is a key factor that controls nuclear pore complex assembly/disassembly and affects the structure of cytoplasmic pores in the annulate. In this paper, we report a comparative analysis of these cytoplasmic organelles throughout the cell-cycle and throughout the development of Drosophila syncytial embryos. Based on the results obtained, it was presupposed that distribution of annulate lamellae containing cytoplasmic pores could reflect the inactivation of the mitotic kinase cdk1 in Drosophila syncytial embryos.

Abstract
Higher-eukaryotic membrane compartmentalization of different processes provides the control of functional activity in cells. The nuclear envelope that consists of outer and inner nuclear membranes, lamina, and nuclear pore complexes is one of the most significant and complex cell compartments. It separates DNA replication and transcription in the nucleus from RNA translation in the cytoplasm and regulates the nuclear-cytoplasmic transport of different molecules. This review describes and discusses the structural organization and biochemical composition of different nuclear envelope components (except nuclear pore complexes, which were discussed in our previous review) as well as its dynamics during mitosis in vitro and in vivo. Special attention is given to the role of lamina in a group of human genetic diseases, collectively referred to as laminopathies.

We summarized both earlier and recent data on the dustribution of annulate lamellae in various cell types, on their morphology, and the distribution of interaction with intracellular structures at various treatments. As the annulate lamellae contain cytoplasmic pore complexes, a special attention was paid to their relation with nuclear pores. Possible functions of the annulate lamellae in intracellular processes and, particularly, in nuclear envelope assembly, are discussed.
