Expression Level of Membrane Markers CD5, CD19, and CD20 in B Cells after UV-Irradiation and Incubation in the Presence of Autologous Plasma.

The effect of UV-light (240-390 nm) in doses of 151 and 755 J/m on the expression of membrane markers CD5, CD19, CD20 in human peripheral blood B cells was studied by flow cytometry. In 24 h after exposure to UV light, we observed activation of processes accompanied by structural rearrangements of B-cell membranes leading to changes in the expression of receptor molecules: the content of of CD19 and CD20 increased due to activation of the synthesis of these proteins, while the content of CD5 decreased. The percentage of CD5 cells decreased over 24 h after UV-irradiation of lymphocytes, while addition of autologous plasma to the incubation medium produced a photoprotective effect on CD5 cells.

We have shown that UV-radiation increases expression of CD95-receptors which is caused mainly by de novo synthesis of the receptors. It has been revealed that during daily incubation of photo-modified lymphocytes (151 and 755 J/m2) without autological blood cell death occurs by receptor-involved apoptosis.

[The protective effect of autologous plasma against the development of oxidative stress in UV-irradiated lymphocytes of peripheral blood of donors].

The influence of UV-light (240-390 nm) at the dozes of 151 and 755 J/m2 on the intensity of processes of the lipid peroxidation, activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), cytochrome c oxidase and the level of the energy supply of donors' blood lymphocytes in the absence and presence of autologous plasma was investigated. It was shown that during the incubation of native and UV-irradiated lymphocytes, autologous plasma reduces the intensity of lipid peroxidation, thus protecting cells from oxidative stress. As a result, the endocellular level of ATP is restored in UV-irradiated lymphocytes (during the daily incubation), which reflects the intensification of the adaptive ability of cells in the presence of autologous plasma.

[Influence of UV-light on the profile of receptors of lymphocytes of donated blood].

The influence of UV-light (240-390 nm) at the dozes of 151 and 755 J/m2 on the maintenance of membrane markers of lymphocytes: CD3, CD19, CD4, CD8, CD25, CD95 using the method of flow cytometry was investigated. It was demonstrated that UV-irradiation of lymphocytes induced the decrease in the number of CD3, CD4 and CD19 markers together with a simultaneous increase of the amount of CD8, CD25 receptors during the daily incubation of cells in a nutrient medium without plasma. When autologous plasma is used during incubation of both native and UV-irradiated lymphocytes, the percentage of cells with the specified markers is not different from the corresponding values in the cells immediately after their purification.

During oxydase reaction spectral characteristics of ceruloplasmin at absorption of copper ions and protein part of the molecule are shown to change. It has been ascertained, that when irradiating ceruloplasmin by UV-light the functioning of intramolecular electron transport chain is broken, the degree of positive cooperativity (a Hill's constant) on substrate decreases. It is supposed, that these changes are caused by disturbance of interdomain interactions in a protein molecule.

The influence of UV-light (240-390 nm) at a dose of 151 and 755 J/m2 on the functional properties of lymphocyte metabolism key enzymes from donors' human blood: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), cytochrome c oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), Ca2(+)-ATPase of plasma membranes has been investigated. It has been revealed that photoinactivation of enzymes immediately after UV-irradiation which leads to the decrease of the ATP content in lymphocytes is replaced by the increased activity of the enzymes under investigation during daily incubation of lymphocytes. As a result, the level of ATP in photo-modified lymphocytes does not differ from that in native cells before incubation.

On the basis of literature and own experimental data changes in the structural and functional properties of some oligomeric proteins of the blood system (hemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, catalase) exposed to the influence of temperature in a broad range were analyzed. The many-phase character of the temperature modification of protein molecules with different values of functional and kinetic parameters for each of revealed stages was discovered. At a critical temperature and at higher values, the dissociation of oligomeric proteins into separate subunits was shown to occur along with the typical "loosening" of the protein globule.

[Androgen regulation of the level of tissue-specific proteins in skeletal muscles during physical exercise].

Administration of testosterone after exercises led to suppression of the hormone production during the anabolic phase within 72-120 hrs of muscles adaptation to physical loading. Content of the androgen receptors was also altered. The supercompensatory phase in content of proteins (myoglobin and aspartate aminotransferase as index) was absent due to an impairing effect of testosterone on muscle adaptation.

[Effect of physical exercise on myoglobin and tropomyosin levels in skeletal muscles and myoglobin level in rat blood].

Single intensive physical exercise caused phase alterations in content of myoglobin and tropomyosin in rat skeletal muscles. Within the first 2-4 hrs of rest concentration of myoglobin and tropomyosin was decreased in muscles by 40-50% (catabolic, urgent step of adaptation). Within the later period of rest (72-120 hrs) content of myoglobin and tropomyosin was increased by 25-30% (anabolic, later step of adaptation) as compared with the control level.
