    This review summarizes the main achievements in basic and clinical research of atheroscle-rosis. Focusing on desialylation as the first and the most important reaction of proatherogenic pathological cascade, we speak of how desialylation increases the atherogenic properties of low density lipoproteins and decreases the anti-atherogenic properties of high density lipoproteins. The separate sections of this paper are devoted to immunogenicity of lipoproteins, the enzymes contribut-ing to their desialylation and animal models of atherosclerosis. In addition, we evaluate the available experimental and diagnostic protocols that can be used to develop new therapeutic approaches for atherosclerosis.This research was funded by the Russian Science Foundation, grant number 18-15-00254

    Background A phase II trial to evaluate neoadjuvant (NAD), surgery and adjuvant (AD) combination chemotherapy without radiation therapy (RT) for patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma staged with endoscopic ultrasound and CT as T3N1 was carried out. Methods Thirty-three eligible patients were enrolled. NAD therapy was administered in two 49-day cycles and included cisplatin, floxuridine, paclitaxel and leucovorin. Esophageal resection was performed followed by AD therapy. Results Thirty-three patients initiated NAD therapy; 10 experienced grade 3 and 4 toxicities, which included leucopenia, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea and stomatitis. Additionally, 16 patients experienced grade 1 and 2 hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities. Fifteen patients were down-staged, of whom five were T2, seven were T1, and three had nodal disease with no evidence of residual cancer in the esophageal bed. Fifteen patients remained T3, and two showed progressive disease. Thirty-two patients proceeded to surgery and 30 were resected. Although all resected patients were eligible for AD therapy, 15 did not receive it either because of patient refusal or surgeon recommendation. Fifteen patients received AD therapy: nine who had remained T3 and six who had down-staged. Three patients experienced grade 3 and 4 toxicities similar to those in NAD therapy. Six patients had grade 1 and 2 toxicities. Kaplan-Meier estimates of overall survival at 1, 3 and 5 years were 73% (95% CI: 58-88%), 52% (95% CI: 34-69%) and 29% (95% CI: 13-45%), respectively. Median survival was 42 months. Conclusion Deletion of RT may safely allow for more aggressive chemotherapy and increase chances of survival. The results need to be confirmed in a randomized phase II or larger phase III trial

    Chromosome 18 Transcriptome Profiling and Targeted Proteome Mapping in Depleted Plasma, Liver Tissue and HepG2 Cells

    The final goal of the Russian part of the Chromosome-centric Human Proteome Project (C-HPP) was established as the analysis of the chromosome 18 (Chr 18) protein complement in plasma, liver tissue and HepG2 cells with the sensitivity of 10<sup>–18</sup> M. Using SRM, we have recently targeted 277 Chr 18 proteins in plasma, liver, and HepG2 cells. On the basis of the results of the survey, the SRM assays were drafted for 250 proteins: 41 proteins were found only in the liver tissue, 82 proteins were specifically detected in depleted plasma, and 127 proteins were mapped in both samples. The targeted analysis of HepG2 cells was carried out for 49 proteins; 41 of them were successfully registered using ordinary SRM and 5 additional proteins were registered using a combination of irreversible binding of proteins on CN-Br Sepharose 4B with SRM. Transcriptome profiling of HepG2 cells performed by RNAseq and RT-PCR has shown a significant correlation (<i>r</i> = 0.78) for 42 gene transcripts. A pilot affinity-based interactome analysis was performed for cytochrome b5 using analytical and preparative optical biosensor fishing followed by MS analysis of the fished proteins. All of the data on the proteome complement of the Chr 18 have been integrated into our gene-centric knowledgebase (www.kb18.ru)
