نبذة مختصرة : Research aim: to investigate the proliferative status of endometrium in the different morphotypes of endometrial hyperplasia based upon the identification of key molecular markers of the cell cycle. Materials and methods. Endometrial samples taken from 137 women were investigated: 40 – normal endometrium (NE), 61 – non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia (ЕH), 36 – atypical hyperplasia (AHE). Expression of gene cyclin D1, nuclear antigen Кі-67, glycoproteins Е-cadherin and β-catenin, estradiol receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PGR) were investigated. Results. ER expression of NE was high in the proliferative phase and decreased significantly in the secretory phase. PGR expression was high in both phases. ER expression of EH in glandular (180 ± 8.3) and in stromal cells (170.5 ± 4.1) exceed the indicators of the secretory phase. PGR expression in the stromal cells of EH (197.5 ± 9.3) exceed significantly indicators of NE. ER and PGR expression significantly and reliably decreased if there was AHE. ER expression of glandular cells was 2.6 times lower (74.6 ± 3.9) compere to proliferative NE (p
