Summary: | Background
Adenomyosis is characterized by overgrowth of endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium and is associated with reduced apoptosis. One of the key participants in one of the pathways of apoptosis is cytochrome
c
, whose expression can be regulated by actin-binding proteins involved in the formation of structures that provide cell motility. The aim of the study was to determine the content of actin-binding proteins, cytochrome
c
, and terminal members of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in endometrial biopsies of patients with adenomyosis and the control group.
Methods and results
The content of all studied proteins was determined by Western blotting, and the mRNA content of the corresponding genes was determined by quantitative RT-PCR. The relative content of alpha-actinin1 and mRNA of the gene encoding it in biopsy specimens from patients with adenomyosis was higher than in controls by 86 and 84% (p  |
