Popis: Glutathione S-transferases common activity, genotypes of glutathione transferases mu and theta and also levels of glutathione transferase pi expression in human brain gliomas (80 samples: 10 low-grade diffuse astrocytomas, 19 anaplastic astrocytomas, 37 glioblastomas, 9 oligodendroastrocytomas, 5 oligodendrogliomas) of different malignancy grade were investigated. The results of conducted researches testified that functional polymorphism of GSTP1 glutathione S-transferases activity correlated with gliomas malignancy grade. Structural polymorphism of GSTM1 and GSTT1 did not depend on the malignancy grade. However, it was set that GSTМ1“0”-genotype presence was more frequent in astrocytomas. Thus, for effective chemotherapy it is necessary to take into account individual features of glutathione transferases dependent chemoresistance.
