RESUMO

The genome damage (frequency of cells with micronuclei and chromosome aberrations), concentration of reactive oxygen forms (ROS), markers of lymphocytes activation, expression of proliferation (CD69, Ki67) and proapoptotic antigen (CD95), as well as the ability to adaptive response have been investigated in blood lymphocytes of healthy donors and patients with prostate gland cancer. The influence of hormone-therapy on lymphocytes properties and connection between the parameters studied with the effectiveness of treatment, which was estimated by the level of prostate specific antigen (PSA), have been investigated. It was discovered that the genome damage to the patients with prostate gland cancer lymphocytes does not differ from control. The increase of the ROS level and decrease of radiosensitivity (irradiation of isolated lymphocytes in vitro at a dose of 1 Gy) are observed but they are insignificant. The content of the cells expressing CD69 and CD95 markers doesn't change but the expression of proliferative activity marker Ki67 in cells decreases. Radiosensitivity of lymphocytes in patients with prostate gland cancer correlates with the CD95 markers expression--a higher radio sensitivity points to their predisposition to apoptotic death. The expression of the markers studied depends on the oxidative status--a high ROS level suppresses their expression. The hormone therapy applied before radiotherapy leads to the increase in radiosensitivity and decrease in ROS. As the MN test shows, the ability to adaptive response of the lymphocytes in patients with prostate gland cancer is increased as compared with lymphocytes of healthy donors but it is insignificant; moreover, hormones do not influence the ability to the adaptive response. The high oxidative status further the formation of the adaptive response. We suppose that the discovered correlation between the initial, before treatment, frequency of lymphocytes with micronuclei and treatment effectiveness, namely, the decreased number of damaged cells associated with the treatment efficiency, is very important for the treatment prognosis. The results obtained can be very important for the experimental justification and understanding a possible use of blood lymphocytes for the additional diagnostics of prostate gland cancer and prognosis for its successful treatment.

RESUMO

Recovery and migration of T-cells from the thymus to the secondary lymphoid organs in mice after sublethal gamma irradiation were investigated by measuring T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs). The TRECs level practically represents the cellularity of thymus, in particular it correlates with the quantity of T-cells which have rearranged TCR genes and express the receptor complex CD3-TCR. So, TRECs can be considered as one of the markers of these cells. TREC-containing cells form a subset of recent thymic emigrants in the secondary lymphoid organs. After a significant TREC decrease in the lymph nodes within the early phase (4 days) after irradiation, we registered the increase of their number during urgent organ recovery due to T-cell migration from the thymus (the maximum is on the 10th day). The secondary thymic atrophy is accompanied by a weakening migration of the T-cells containing TRECs to lymph nodes. A significant TREC increase in the spleen was registered on the 4th day after irradiation. The rest of the recovery period. (up to 60 days) is characterized by the low TREC level. Thus, determination of TREC level allows obtaining additional information about recovery and migratory processes in lymphoid organs during post-radiation regeneration.

RESUMO

In the current study the authors investigated the connection between the proliferation rate of stimulated hu- man peripheral blood lymphocytes with some other characteristics of the population: expression of immunological markers, spontaneous genome damage, radiosensitivity. The population's proliferation index (PI) was taken as a measure of the rate. It was calculated using the composition of a cell population, which was cyto- kinesis-blocked with a cytochalasin B. If the genotoxic action is absent, the PI does not correlate with the spontaneous frequency of cells with micronuclei or with cell radiosensitivity, but is tightly linked with immunological indexes. It has been determined that after stimulation the level of marker-positive cells (CD25, CD69 and Ki67) is closely related to PI and is greater in the populations with lower proliferation rates. Irradiation of a cell culture 48 h after stimulation at a dose of 1 Gy leads to a correlation between PI and radiosensitivity, measured directly after the irradiation and in the same time frame as the PI measured in the non-irradiated population. The irradiated population's PI is not connected with the level of marker expression.

RESUMO

Expression of activation (CD69) and proliferation (Ki67) markers, their connection with each other, with the oxidative status (reactive oxygen species--ROS) and with radiosensitivity (determined by micronucleus test) have been studied on stimulated blood lymphocytes from Moscow inhabitants. It was shown that the content of T-lymphocytes with the expressed CD69 and the content of T-lymphocytes with the expressed Ki67 markers correlate (r = 0.571; p = 0.0004). We can suppose that expression of the CD69 marker (24 h after PHA stimulation) is needed for the cell cycle progression, but it is not enough for the high expression of Ki67 markers 48 h after stimulation (DNA synthesis phase). It was discovered that T-lymphocytes with the CD69 marker or T-lymphocytes with the Ki67 marker are connected by the negative correlation with the frequency of irradiated cell with micronucleus (MN) r = -0.487; p = 0.010; r = -0.440; p = 0.008, respectively. So we can suppose that lymphocyte radiosensitivity decreased with the increase of expression activation and proliferation markers. It was shown that radiosensitivity determined by MN test is not connected with the oxidative status determined by the reactive oxygen species content including superoxide anion radicals. It is possible to explain by the fact that the ROS concentration has been determined in non-stimulated lymphocytes, but frequencies of cells with MN - in the stimulated cells 48 h after stimulation. Using separate analysis of individual differences by the studied parameters that were determined in the same people, it was shown that individual differences are high enough in the same cases. For example, the radiosensitivity when cells were irradiated 48 h after stimulation, ROS concentration, cell content with activation and proliferation markers. In conclusion, we can say that we failed to find important correlation between the parameters studied. However, the presence of individual differences in the marker expression, the frequency of MN cells, the oxidative status in the usual inhabitants, typical donors in Moscow, is very important.

RESUMO

Using flow cytometry we looked for a thymocyte subpopulation responsible for the development of thymus urgent recovery and secondary atrophy in sublethally irradiated mice (4 Gy). It was expected that the number of these cells would grow before the urgent recovery peak and would drop during secondary atrophy. It was found out that DN3 thymocytes were the best for these criteria. The DN3 stage of thymocytes development is characterized by the rearrangement of the major portion of T-cell receptor genes. On the basis of this finding we have discussed the possibility of secondary atrophy correction using IL-7.

RESUMO

The changes in the processes of differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis were studied in the culture of human cortical thymocytes after cell exposure to T-32 and T-38 bioregulator peptides. T-32 and T-38 peptides were shown to enhance the differentiation of immature cortical thymocytes (CD4+CD8+) into T-regulatory cells by increasing their proliferate activity and decreasing the level of apoptosis. Moreover, these peptides were found to stimulate the proliferative and antiapoptotic activity of mature T-regulatory (CD4+CD25+) cells.

RESUMO

A cell line of the ameba assigned to the genus Acanthamoeba by morphological and cariotypic signs and by the specific features of its life cycle was isolated from the thymus of a child operated on for heart disease. The line received the name CDHT (Cells Derived from Human Thymus). Actively proliferating mammalian cells maintain the multiplication of Acanthamoeba cells in vitro. Using thymocytes as an example, it was shown that death of these cells occurred through the mechanism of apoptosis. The human thymocytes preincubated with the supernatant obtained through the cocultivation of CDHT and thymocytes may also undergo apoptosis.

RESUMO

We studied the effects of the main placental hormone, chorionic gonadotropin, on differentiation of human thymocytes in vitro in the presence of thymic epithelial cells. It was shown that the hormone at a high dose (100 IU/ml) enhanced the epithelium-induced phenotypic maturation of thymocytes, which is registered by an increased expression of the membrane marker CD3 and transition of CD4+8+ thymocytes in the cells with CD4+8- and CD4-8+ phenotypes. In addition, gonadotropin enhanced the proliferative response of thymocytes to the mitogen during their cultivation with the epithelium. The stimulating effect of the hormone on the epithelium-induced differentiation of thymocytes is mediated by the humoral factors of epithelial cells. In addition, gonadotropin at this dose exerts its own differentiating activity with respect to thymocytes and stimulates their phenotypic and functional maturation in a monoculture.

RESUMO

Some flow laser cytometry (FLC) techniques intended for studies of the immune system cells are reviewed. A widespread analytical method is the phenotyping of lymphocytes by the markers they express. The use of FLC permits the evaluation of practically all functional parameters of immunocompetent cells. Thus, to analyze their ingestive and microbicidal activity fluorochrome-labeled microorganisms are used. The apploication of indicator dyes makes it possible to evaluate calcium mobilization and formation of active forms of oxygen. FLC is used for the identification of cytokines inside the cell and in the medium. The authors propose tests for the analysis of the proliferative activity of lymphocytes, the cytotoxicity of natural killers, the evaluation of apoptosis and protein processing with monocytes/macrophages.

RESUMO

AIM: To investigate the effect of recombinant alpha 2b-interferon (r alpha 2b-IFN) on functional capacity of peripheral blood (PB) T cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and the relationship between functional characteristics of T lymphocytes and the disease activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PB mononuclear cells (PBMC) were separated by Ficoll-Verografine++ gradient centrifugation from 24 healthy donors (HD) and 75 RA patients 19 of which were treated with r alpha 2b-IFN (realdiron, Biofa, Lithuania) in the dosage 1 million IU i.m. each other day for 20 days, 10 injections a course. Cell surface markers (CD3, CD4, CD8) and adhesion molecules (CD18, CD54, CD2) were analyzed using specific monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) and flow cytometry on the PBMC, freshly isolated and treated for 72 hours with medium alone, PHA, r alpha 2b-IFN and their combination. The proliferative response of PBMC to MoAbs for CD3, PHA and r alpha 2b-IFN were assessed by 3H-thymidine incorporation. The percentage of spontaneous and inducing apoptosis was quantified by flow cytometry using propidium iodide staining. RESULTS: The expression of CD18 was lower on RA PB lymphocytes compared to HD PB lymphocytes (p < 0.05). After stimulation of PBMC in both RA patients and HD with PHA, percentages of CD2+, CD3+, CD4+, CD18+ cells significantly diminished (p < 0.05), whereas the percentages of CD54+ and CD18+ (p < 0.05) cells increased. We have found three types of RA PB lymphocytes response to complex factors in vitro: 1) the presence of the proliferative response to T-mitogens but not to r alpha 2b-IFN (56% of the patients); 2) the presence of the increased proliferative response to T-mitogens and r alpha 2b-IFN (17% of the patients); 3) the absence of the proliferative response to T-mitogens and r alpha 2b-IFN (27% of the patients). PBMC of HD demonstrate only the first type of the response. R2 alpha b-IFN demonstrated own mitogenic effect and increased mitogen-induced proliferation in PBMC cultures with a high proliferative response to T-mitogens. The levels of spontaneous and inducing apoptosis were increased in RA PB lymphocytes compared to HD. After stimulation with PHA, RA PB lymphocytes preferentially underwent apoptosis whereas cells of HD proliferated. High disease activity correlated positively with an increase of a proliferative response to mitogens and apoptosis and a decrease in the percentage of lymphocytes, expressed adhesion molecules. The treatment with r alpha 2b-IFN induces changes in T-cell response to mitogens similarly to those after incubation with r alpha 2b-IFN in vitro before treatment. CONCLUSION: Functional capacity of RA PB lymphocytes relates to the disease activity. Inhibitory or stimulatory effects of r alpha 2b-IFN depend on functional activity of RA lymphocytes. Using the test with alpha 2b-IFN incubation, we may predict changes of apoptosis and proliferation levels caused by different agents in RA lymphocytes after treatment with r alpha 2b-IFN.

RESUMO

AIM: To elucidate the effects of combined therapy with glucocorticosteroids (GCS) and recombinant human interferon alpha or gamma (IFN) on proliferative responses of T-lymphocytes activated by various surface molecules (CD3 and CD2) in patients with SLE. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 3-month trial entered 3 groups 15 patients each with verified SLE by APA criteria (1982). Patients of group 1, 2 and 3 received IFN-alpha (realdiron, Biofa, Lithuania) in a single dose 3 million IU i.m., IFN-gamma (inflagen, Biofa, Lithuania) in a single dose 3 million IU i.m. and cyclophosphamide in a dose 200 mg i.m. once a week, respectively. T-lymphocyte proliferative response was assessed to stimuli of two types: CD3-dependent (classic activation) and CD2-dependent (alternative activation). The analysis was made by inclusion of 3H-thymidine after 72-hour incubation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with various stimuli. The response was assessed before the treatment, on the treatment day 20 and after the treatment. The blood from 27 donors was also examined. Flow cytometry estimated the percentage of the cells expressing molecules CD3, CD4, CD8. RESULTS: The effect is found of alpha and gamma INF on functional capacity of T-lymphocytes and on the number of cells expressing surface molecules CD3 and CD4. Realdiron produced two-phase reaction to a proliferative response to mitogenic stimuli by CD3-dependent activation pathway: the initial rise then lowering. CD2-dependent way of T-cell activation is associated with weakening of responses to all combinations of stimuli with participation of autologous red cells. This group of patients to the end of the therapy exhibited a significant decrease in the number of cells expressing CD3 and CD4 (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively). Inflagen enhanced CD3-dependent activation of T cells and normalized the response to all types of the alternative stimuli. This group demonstrated an increase in the number of cells expressing CD3 and CD4 (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). The changes in the number of CD8+ cells in both the groups were statistically insignificant. The controls had T-cell responses reduced by both activation pathways. CONCLUSION: Preparations of both alpha and gamma interferon have a multidirectional influence on functional potential and phenotype of T-lymphocytes of SLE patients.

RESUMO

Immune defense is based on the interaction of nonspecific factors of natural resistance and factors of antigen-specific adaptive immune response. The key event of this interaction is antigen presentation. Its matter is a recognition of antigenic peptide complexed with MHC molecule of class II on the antigen-presenting cell (APC) surface by TCR receptor of T helper cell. The realization of the antigen presentation is connected with some problems: the number of cells in specific T cell clones is too low; the complexes of each peptide with MHC-II is a low part of the general population of APC surface peptide-MHC-II complexes; the bonds forming between these complexes and TCR molecules are too weak and some other molecules must be involved to reach T cell activation. These difficulties and mechanisms of their overcoming are considered in the review.

RESUMO

A 24-hour co-cultivation of thymocytes and epithelial cells taken from human thymus results in mutual activation of epitheliocytes and thymocytes, as well as in apoptosis of thymocytes. The apoptosis can also be induced by a cultural supernatant of the thymic-epithelial cells, its level being lower, however, than in the co-culture. Thymocyte death and elimination develop faster in a co-culture with allogeneic thymic epithelial cells.

RESUMO

The effects of chorionic gonadotropin, a basic hormone of pregnancy, on the differentiation of the human thymocytes were studied. The hormone does not affect the phenotype as determined by expression of the membrane molecules CD3, CD4, CD8 and functional activity of intrathymic pre-T-lymphocytes, but stimulates production of autocrine growth factors by these cells. Cultivation of cortical thymocytes in the presence of chorionic gonadotropin induces their phenotypic maturation with predominant development of CD4+ CD8- cells. In addition, at a high physiological dose (100 MU/ml) the hormone induces functional maturation of the cortical thymocytes. Thus, the data obtained allow us to consider this hormone as a factor regulating antigen-independent differentiation of T-lymphocytes during pregnancy and determining development of the immune system in embryogenesis.

RESUMO

AIM: To study activation of T-lymphocytes by the CD3 (antigen-dependent) and CD2 (non-antigen-dependent) routes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclears were studied in 66 patients with SLE and 27 donors. Proliferative response to activation by anti-CD3, anti-CD3+ phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), phytohemagglutinin (PHA), and autologous erythrocytes in combinations with PMA and recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) was assessed. RESULTS: T-cell proliferation was at least two times increased under the effect of CD3 in 40.9% patients and in 100% normal subjects. Stimulation with CD3 antibodies in combination with PMA leveled the differences due to boosting of T-cell response in SLE patients. PMA alone caused mononuclear proliferation in 25% patients with SLE but not in normal subjects. Decreased response of T-cells to adhesive stimulus (autologous erythrocytes + PMA) in SLE patients was leveled by rIL-2. CONCLUSION: The proliferative response of T-lymphocytes is decreased upon stimulation with CD3 and CD2 and in some patients increased by PMA in submitogenic doses, added alone or in combination with anti-CD3.

RESUMO

The recognition of antigens by specific T- and B-lymphocytic receptors underlies an immune response. However, the formation of a potential signal for the activation of lymphocytes requires an additional their stimulation (costimulation). The main source of costimulation signals is the interaction of the surface molecules of lymphocytes and accessory cells. The interaction between the T-cell surface molecules CD28 and costimulatory molecules of antigen-presenting cells (CD80 or CD86) is the most important point of the T-helper cell activation. The interaction between B-cell molecule CD40 and T-helper surface molecule CD154 is the key event of B-cell (and other antigen-presenting cell) activation. When costimulation is absent, antigen recognition induces specific lymphocytic anergy or apoptosis. Defects of costimulatory molecular expression or function can cause immunodeficiency. For example, hereditary defect of CD154 expression causes the hyper-IgM syndrome. The soluble forms of some costimulatory molecules are considered to be potential immunomodulators.

RESUMO

Recent evidences of the interference of ionizing radiation into the intimate immune processes are presented in the review. gamma-irradiation induces some events in V-gene rearrangement in T cells. Low-dose irradiation can result in the thymocyte differentiation and activation. Immediately after irradiation stromal thymic cell activity are stimulated and in the later stages it is depressed. Irradiation induces an expression of some functionally important molecules on a surface of the cells of immune system and thus influences the processes of cell interaction, costimulation, adhesion and transvascular migration. It is shown that many events of the signal transduction pathways resulting in radiation-induced and activation-induced apoptosis of lymphocyte are general. This data evidence that the possibility of the choice between the death and activation exists for the cells which are undergone to action of ionizing radiation.

RESUMO

Apoptosis, together with proliferation, is a main factor of selection of the clones of developing T-lymphocytes: the clones not supported by positive selection are subject to apoptosis and apoptosis accounts for discarding of potentially autoaggressive clones, i.e., for negative selection in the thymus and peripheral lymphoid tissue. Realization of apoptosis at different stages of the development of T-lymphocytes depends to a varying extent on Fas, Bcl-2, p53, and other regulators. The dendritic cells are the main cell type, the contact with determines apoptosis of T-lymphocytes. A possible role of the epithelial cells was shown in few models (on murine cells) and was not practically studied. We obtained a line of epithelial cells of the human thymus cells HTSC, cocultivation with which induces apoptosis of immature thymocytes and blood T-cells activated by mitogens. Development of apoptosis is suppressed by inhibitors of protein and RNA synthesis, chelators Ca2+, ions Zn2+, and factors destroying the cytoskeleton components. In this model, interaction of pairs of molecules CD4-HLA class II and LFA-1-ICAM-1. When in contact with the HTSC cells, the thymocytes of mice mutant for Fas-receptor (line MRL.lpr) are subject to apoptosis, but when this receptor is present, it affects the development of apoptosis.

RESUMO

Some key problems of radiation immunology which were formulated during last decades have been considered. The possibility or their decision appeared at recent time proceeding from the new view on the ionizing irradiation as a source of biologically significant signals. From that point of view some experimental data concerning radiation effects on the maturation and selection of lymphocytes, contact interaction of immune system cells and cytokine network were reviewed. It was concluded that the disturbances of the spatial and temporary organization and integrative functions of immune system were the results of the non-adequate radiation-induced signalling.
