Abstract
Dimethylarginine Dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) is an essential enzyme capable of degrading asymmetric dimethylarginine, which is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase. Increased expression of DDAH1 and subsequent increased NO production are associated with carcinogenesis. In particular, DDAH1 is involved in the creation of a vascular network by tumor cells, vasculogenic mimicry, which is closely associated with tumor progression and poor patient prognosis. This is the reason why DDAH1 may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer.
期刊介绍：
The journal deals with original investigations on pressing problems of general pathology and pathologic anatomy, newest research methods, major issues of the theory and practice as well as problems of experimental, comparative and geographic pathology. To inform readers latest achievements of Russian and foreign medicine the journal regularly publishes editorial and survey articles, reviews of the most interesting Russian and foreign books on pathologic anatomy, new data on modern methods of investigation (histochemistry, electron microscopy, autoradiography, etc.), about problems of teaching, articles on the history of pathological anatomy development both in Russia and abroad.
