Gene regulation by microRNAs (miRNAs) is one of the most important regulatory networks which control normal hematopoiesis. Disturbances in miRNAs levels lead to proliferation diseases including leukemogenesis. MicroRNAs is a major topic of many cancer researches performed to discover noninvasive biomarkers used for diagnosis, prognosis, and optimization of clinical decision. This study, the first to be performed in Syria, aimed at monitoring miR-155 levels compared to a normalizer gene RNU6-2 by quantitative reverse transcriptase -PCR (qRTPCR) in a sample of newly diagnosed untreated AML patients at several hospitals in Damascus in comparison with healthy controls. Changes in miR-155 gene expression levels were calculated in patients and controls using the 2-ΔCt method. The most important finding was the association of low and very high miR-155 levels with poor prognosis reflected in failure to accomplish complete remission and high mortality. In addition, high miR-155 levels were associated with M4 AML subtype, although with large variance among patients. We hope our preliminary study pave the road for many future research studies related to the applicability of microRNAs in supporting diagnosis, predicting prognosis, and enhancing the personalized therapies which deal with patients as individual cases.

In the present study, we measured DNMT3A levels, the methylation enzyme, in blood samples from Syrian AML patients and normal individuals using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, in order to determine the roles of DNMT3A in the development of leukemia.
In contrast to adaptive immunity and to certain components of innate immunity, only little is known on the influence of the complement system on cancer suppression and promotion . The lectin pathway of complement activation is an important part of in nate immunity. It is mainly involved in opsonisation and lysis of pathogens and in recruitment of inflammatory cells. Our study aimed to assess the relationship between MASP-2 serum levels before and after chemotherapy in Syrian children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, aiming to find a relation, which serve in early forecast of patients response to chemotherapy, where the study has been done at Children University Hospital in damascus between 2013-2014. This study included 37 children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The levels of Mannose-Binding Lectin-associated Serine Protease-2 (MASP-2) were determined by Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA). The result was that serum levels of MASP-2 was strongly reduced after chemotherapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and a strong correlation between serum marker levels before and after chemotherapy was found.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy and the leading cause of death worldwide, due to late detection and high recurrence rates. Osteopontin (OPN) has various functions, including prevention of apoptosis and modulation of angiogene sis which lead to tumor formation and progression, although the exact mechanisms for the development of cancer are still unknown.
يعد السرطان من أهم الأمراض المسببة للوفاة في جميع أنحاء العالم حيث سجل ما يقارب 14 مليون حالة إصابة جديدة و8.2 مليون حالة وفاة في عام 2012 ومن المتوقع أن يرتفع عدد الاصابات بمعدل 70% خلال العقدين القادميين
