ABSTRACT

Using stem cells as an example the review considers a new history and methodology of search for stem cells (SC), found in tissues of adult Homo sapiens and Drosophila melanogaster organisms. These studies of SC resulted in several original hypotheses explaining their unusual features. Impressive progress recently achieved in this direction (2008-2010) is associated with employment of new methods of somatic recombination for long-term registration of various strains of differentiated cells, early and distant SC progeny. 1) Although anatomic localization of intestinal epithelium cells lacking marked morphological and biochemical differentiation markers (the lower third of intestinal and colon crypts) is known for about 40 years results of their experimental identification, isolation and detection of their functional characteristics still represent the subject for discussions. Particularly, it remains unclear, which SC are involved in crypt regeneration: the same as those involved into homeostatic renewal or their various subpopulations or early SC progenies acquired stem features by reprogramming? 2) In addition, most detected biochemical markers of potential SC are common for SC from other tissues of embryonic and mature organisms so it is possible to apply method developed for intestinal epithelium for their isolation. 3) Data on induction of intestinal epithelium polyps and neoplasias by mutations in genes encoding SC markers and identification of biochemical characteristics of potential SC in these tumors support the hypothesis of stem tumor cell origination from normal SC or their earliest progeny. In general, facts considered in this review may be useful for both development of optimal methods for the use of SC in cell therapy (as the source of humoral factors), regenerative medicine (as the source of differentiated cells for restoration of injured tissue), and also for targeted search of antitumor drugs (SC as the target) and preparations modifying genetic and epigenetic reactions of SC to genotoxic and stress treatments.

ABSTRACT

The thanatogenetic mechanisms of stem cells (SC) of rapidly renewing system of intestinal epithelium still remain unclear. On the one hand, they are definitely involved into basic mechanisms of carcinogenesis in the gastrointestinal tract, because dysregulation of programs responsible for elimination of "unwanted" mutant cells (which are normally under immune and own intrinsic control) is one of the reasons of neoplastic expansion. On the other hand, elucidation and characterization of the regulatory machinery controlling SC survival are interrelated with problems of clinical medicine, including the increase of therapeutic efficiency of treatment of inflammatory and ulcer lesions of the gut, traumatic and surgical wounds, as well as restriction of side effects in normal tissues induced by application of intensive methods chemo- and radiotherapy of cancer. The latter is especially important for treatment of blood diseases and tumors of peritoneal cavity organs mainly due to bone marrow and intestinal epithelium damage. (These tissues are the most sensitive to these treatments.) The review considers data on exogenous and genetic modifiers of SC survival, and also the basic principles of mechanisms involved into renewal and regeneration of SC and the effects of microbiota on these processes.

ABSTRACT

Till now the thanatological mechanisms that regulated the proliferation and the clearance of the stem cells (SC) in fast renewal systems of organism--intestinal epithelium remain insufficiently investigated as in haematopoietic system too. The relevance of such researches is supported by an essential role of these mechanisms in pathogenesis of widely widespread inflammatory and hyperproliferative diseases. In particular inhibition/disregulation of elimination for the "undesirable", mutant cells leaving from under immune and own control is one of the reasons for neoplastic cell expansion. In this review were summarized data about some mechanisms determining SC-destruction in animals treated by ionizing radiation or antineoplastic preparations, and also treated by modifiers of SC-radiosensitivity.

ABSTRACT

The results of radiative and of chemical monitoring show definite contamination of this zone by 90Sr and toxic metals. The essential local contaminations of geosystems (up to 2.3 x 10(4) Bk/kg of soil) require in environmental condition assessment at biocenosis level. Biotesting found the increase of metallothioneines levels in kidney (up to 15.63 microg/g of tissue) and liver (up to 19.22 microg/g of tissue) of rodents inhabited in the region of RWS placing as compared with the control group (3.51 and 4.44 microg/g of tissue accordingly). Besides, the decrease of total quantity of leucocytes (by 14.5% as compared with the control group) and absolute quantity all forms of them in animal blood were noted. It was assumed the increase of protein--MT is the result of complex influence by ionizing radiation and toxic metals.

ABSTRACT

The aim of the study was to investigate the protective activity of a new variant of the probiotic Acilact in exposure to ionizing radiation and anticancer chemotherapy under experimental conditions. The study revealed protective effects of the preparation after combined exposure of mice to radiation and temperature. The preparation increased 30-day survival of the mice, inhibited intestinal colonization with gram-negative microorganisms, and increased resistance to LPS. A multidirectional protective effect of the probiotic was observed after the use of sublethal doses of radiation; this effect was manifested by quicker normalization of hematological parameters and bone marrow cellularity, as well as elevation of blood concentration of the hemoragulatory cytokines IL-3 and IL-6.

ABSTRACT

The influence of specific inhibitor of inducible NO synthase S-ethil-isothiourea (as "Difetur" preparation) on liver NO production level, and 30-days survival, mean survival time and probability of mortality within animals under combined radiation/thermal injury (CRTI) were evaluated. Experiments were carrying out on mice (whole body gamma-irradiation at the dose of 7 Gy + 10% body surface full-thickness thermal burn). It was shown, that CRTI induce 2-fold statistical significant increase of NO production in liver of experimental animals. Mice pretreatment with Difetur preparation lead to practically full inhibition of NO production. In the group of animals, with Difetur administration during first two days after CRTI 60% mice survived as compared 15% survive in control group. In pair with data on probability of mortality it was suggested that growth of NO production in the early period of CRTI increase sensitivity of animals to pathological processes leading to death on 10-12 days.

ABSTRACT

Experiments were executed on (CBA x C57BL6) F1 male mice. Animals were subjected to the total body irradiation with a dose 7 Gy or combine radiation-thermal injury (CRTI), when irradiated animals were additionally subjected to a thermal burn of 10% of the body surface. Some signs of systemic inflammatory response were investigated in these two compared groups. It was established that the period of substantial increasing of the mortality in animals with CRTI (from 7th till 15th day) was characterized with expressed postradiation leikopenia and thrombocytopenia, was accompanied by hypoalbuminemia and hyperfibrinogenemia with a moderate raise in serum ALT activity. From all investigated hematological and biochemical parameters, at CRTI only plasma level of fibrinogen statistically differed from that in a group of the irradiated mice without a burn. It is suggested that endogenous infection and bacterial toxins are important at the pathogenesis of hyperfibrinogenemia and aggravation of CRTI outcomes by the 30-days survival criteria.

ABSTRACT

The influence of LPS-induced increasing of proinflammatory cytokine production inhibitors (pentoxifylline--POF, glycine--G), Kupffer cells elimination (gadolinium chloride--GC) and monoclonal anti-IL-6 antibodies on 30-days survival, mean survival time and probability of mortality within animals under combined radiation/thermal injury were evaluated. Experiments were carrying out on mice (whole body gamma-irradiation at the dose of 7 Gy + 10% body surface full-thickness thermal burn) and rats (gamma-irradiation at the dose of 7.5 Gy + 15% body surface burn). It was established that POF, G and GC didn't modify survival. Mouse anti-IL-6 monoclonal antibodies administration 1 h prior and 1, 2, 3 days after combined injury increased 30-days animal survival up to 60% in each group and up to 90% while antibodies were injected in 6, 7, 8 days after combined injuries; 100% lethality was registered in untreated mice. Possible anti-inflammatory inactivity reasons of modulators of cytokine levels under combined injury conditions are discussed.

ABSTRACT

Combined injury such as whole body gamma-irradiation at the dose of 7 Gy+10% body surface full-thickness thermal burn were investigated in (CBA x C57BL6)F1 mice. Enhanced level of IL-6 in mice serum at 6-24 hs following combined injury was established. The potential inhibiting activity of pentoxifylline (POF) as an influence to IL-6 levels, and measure of several acute phase response signs has been evaluated. It was established, that single POF injection don't modify IL-6 production, don't change leukocytosis and early hyperfermentemia (as alaninaminotransferase levels indicated). But serum albumin content was increased after preliminary POF administration to mice with combined injury. On the other side, mouse anti-IL-6 monoclonal antibodies administration increased 30-days animal survival up to 60% while 100% lethality was registered in untreated mice. Possible anti-inflammatory inactivity reasons of POF under combined injury conditions are discussed in this article, and important role of IL-6 hyperproduction in combined injury outcomes burden is suggested.

ABSTRACT

The ability of a Lactobacillus acidophilius (LA) based preparation to prevent from a myelotoxic damage was studied on (CBA.C57BL/6)F1 mice upon total gamma-irradiation or single intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphan. The antitumor and antimetastatic activity of LA-based preparation was studied in experiments with C57BL/6 mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma or melanoma B16. The preparation obtained from heat-killed Lactobacillus acidophilius species provides protection of hemopoietic stem cells, as evidenced by the amount of endogenous CFUs increased 3.4-6.7 times. The LA-based preparation favored accelerated overcoming the radiation- and cyclophosphan-induced leukopenia. At the same time, the drug did not affect the proliferative activity and apoptosis of tumor cells, their growth rate, and metastatic activity. Nor did it reduce the efficacy of the experimental tumor radiotherapy.

ABSTRACT

Mice models of acute radiation and combined radiation injuries (whole body irradiation + thermal burn) were used for the experiments. Blood serum response of IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-3, and GM-CSF was evaluated after single injection of bacterially derived products (BDPs). As it was established, BDPs revealed different ability for cytokine increasing activity: Imuvert (extract from Serratia marcescens) > synthetic trehalose dicorynomycolate > heat-killed Lactobacillus acidophilus. The capacity of BDPs to enhance survival of animals did not depend on its cytokine-inducing and hematopoietic activities.

ABSTRACT

Effects of MT preinduction by cadmium chloride on the resistance to combined injury such as whole body gamma-irradiation at the dose of 7 Gy + thermal burn were investigated in (CBA x C57BL6)F1 mice. Normal level of MT markedly increased in mice liver but not in bone marrow cells if Cd was given subcutaneously (1 mg/kg) prior to combined injury. However, preinduction of MT did not reduce the lethal effects and bone marrow devastation caused by combined radiation injury. No differences in the leukopenia degree and in CFU-s number were observed between control and MT-induced mice. In summary, Cd-induced MT elevation in mice liver does not protect against the toxic and lethal effects caused by combined radiation injury.

ABSTRACT

Male mice (CBA x C57BL/6)F1 were used for the experiments throughout this study. Blood serum levels of IL-1 beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-3, and GM-CSF were evaluated by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at 3, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after 7 Gy gamma-irradiation alone or combined injury (irradiation + thermal burn). Radiation as well as combined injury did not cause any important alterations of IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, IL-3, and GM-CSF concentrations in the system circulation. Combined injury revealed more enhanced serum levels of IL-6 versus only irradiated mice. A possible significance of this phenomenon at the combined radiation and thermal burns' pathogenesis is discussed.

ABSTRACT

Male mice (CBA x C57BL6)F1 were used for the experiments throughout this study. The levels of spontaneous and LPS-stimulated cytokines production (IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha) by peritoneal, splenic, and bone marrow macrophages were evaluated by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at 3, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after irradiation alone or combined injury (irradiation + thermal burn). The results suggest that macrophages, harvested from the main mice hematopoietic organs (bone marrow, spleen), did not increase cytokines production within the first three days following the 7 Gy gamma-irradiation or combined injury. Peritoneal macrophages revealed a capacity to enhance IL-6 and IL-1 production versus normal healthy mice. There were no significant differences of cytokine-producing activity if macrophages were harvested from irradiated or combined injured mice.

ABSTRACT

The experiments were carried out on F1 (CBA x C57B16) male-mice. It was shown that, in contrast to a therapeutic effect of IL-1 for the solely irradiated mice, a single subcutaneous injection of 100 micrograms/kg recombinant human IL-1 beta in 4 h after a combined radiation-thermal injury (CRTI) increased significantly the death rate of the animals within the first 2-4 days. Administration of 150 ng IL-1 per mouse in 4, 24, or 48 h after the CRTI decreased an average life-span of mice. A single injection of cytokine in 5 days after the CRTI increased the survival rate by 45%. Repeated injections IL-1 with a dose of 100 pg per mouse in 2, 4, and 6 days after the CRTI did not aid in the haematological indices and did not affect the survival rate of the animals.

ABSTRACT

Acute radiation and combined radiation-thermal injuries (CRTIs) were modelled in the experiments on CBA x C57B16 mice. Changes in the concentrations of endogenic and lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha in the blood serum were measured in 3 to 24 h after gamma-irradiation at a dose of 7 Gy and a combined radiation-thermal injury. The status of mature and reserve pools of the bone marrow granulocytes was determined from the reaction of leukocytes mobilization to blood in response to the administration of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in 48 h after Irradiation and CRTI. The contents of IL-3 and IL-6 in the blood serum, the level of cytokine secretion by the bone marrow cells were determined in vitro in the peak phases of acute radiation and combined injuries. No significant changes in the reaction of the bone marrow cells and in the level of pancytopenia were revealed after acute radiation and CRTIs, which could help in understanding an increase in the death rates after CRTIs. Also, quantitative changes in the TNF and IL-6 concentrations in the blood serum were estimated along with those in the level of secretion of IL-3 by the bone marrow cells of mice exposed to radiation and CRTIs.

ABSTRACT

CBA x C57BL6 mice pre-exposed to 5 cGy gamma-irradiation then inflicted to LD70/30 acute radiation or combined injuries (radiation + thermal burn). In such protocol of the experiments preliminary "adaptive" dose radiation did not modify low 30-day survival rate and did not render an influence to the mean survival time. Leucopenia level and bone marrow devastation in 3 days after sublethal irradiation (4 Gy) or combined injury was similar in mice pre-exposed to low dose radiation (5 cGy) and in their unexposed controls. "Adaptive" dose radiation decreased leukocytes' number within the phase of hemopoiesis recovery (in 14 day after sublethal irradiation or combined injury).

ABSTRACT

Male mice F1 (CBA x C57BL6) were used for experiments. Animals were exposed to 7 Gy gamma-radiation and additionally inflicted to full-thickness thermal burn 10% body surface. As it has been revealed, single subcutaneous injection of the created biopreparation based on inactivated lactobacillus microbic biomass increased mice survival with combined injury from 23% to 73%. Therapeutic efficacy of this remedy did not correlate with postradiation damages of the hemopoietic system. Injection of killed L. acidophilus mixture strikingly averted development of the intestine autoinfection. Possible mechanisms of the benefit therapeutic action of the new preparation are discussed.

ABSTRACT

Concurrent radiation and thermal injury (IRTI) was simulated in Wistar rats. For prevention of the autoinfectious complications sulacillin, a combination of ampicillin and sulbactam, was used. The use of sulacillin was started on the onset of IRTI and continued for 7 days. The drug was administered intramuscularly twice a day. It was observed that the 8-day survival of the animals increased by more than 40 per cent and the statistical levels of bacteremia and bacterial endotoxemia significantly decreased. The experiments showed that sulacillin had no side immunodepressive effect and did not aggravate the affection of the blood system. The drug was recommended for further studies to provide evidence for rational schemes of antibacterial therapy in IRTI.
