The Content of ROS in Blood Lymphocytes of Healthy Individuals, Individuals Irradiated as a Result of Chernobyl Disaster and Patients with Prostate Cancer.

The ROS concentration and proliferation activity (Ki67 expression.marker) have been studied in the periphery blood lymphocytes of Moscow and Obninsk citizens, donors, Chernobyl disaster liquidators, inhabitants of the region contaminated after Chernobyl disaster (Klincy) and individuals with prostate cancer. It was shown that ROS concentration in lymphocytes of the liquidators and residents of the polluted region was lowered.

[The Changes of Properties of Blood Peripheral Lymphocytes of Donors and Patients with Prostate Gland Cancer: Reaction of Lymphocytes on Irradiation in vitro].

The oxidative status (ROS), markers activation expression (CD69), proliferation activity (Ki67), proapoptotic antigen (CD95) have been investigated on healthy donors and patients with prostatic gland cancer in human blood lymphocytes. The lymphocyte reaction in vitro on γ-irradiation at different doses (0.05-1.

[The radiosensitivity change after low-dose irradiation, possible mechanisms and regularities].

This paper is a short review of literature data and results of our own investigation into the adaptive response (AR). It was aimed at the analysis of the AR induction, its formation, some mechanisms, its expansion, and universality. It is supposed that a lot of mechanisms, a high variability degree, the absence of this phenomenon in some individuals, as well as dependence on many situations make the AR induction not predictable.

[Are the properties of peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with prostate cancer connected with the efficiency of radiation therapy?].

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.

[Individual variability of immunological markers, radiosensitivity and oxidative status in blood lymphocytes of Moscow residents].

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.
