“…For the first time, the study covers a large group of participants with moderate physical activity, who used Licopid for prophylaxis. This clinical observation is consistent with the previously obtained results of the positive effect of GMDP in the prevention of acute respiratory infections in children and adults [14, 15,52].…”

“…The maximum number of episodes of acute respiratory infections in the group of athletes in comparison with athletes of other sports indicates the tension of mucosal immunity and a decrease in the adaptive capabilities of the organism. A 7-fold reduction in this group of ARI episodes when taking GMDP confirms its effectiveness in increasing the body's resistance to acute viral infections of the respiratory tract, previously established for children and adults [52].…”

Relevance . Respiratory infections are the most common in the world. In order to prevent epidemics, there is a need to improve the strategies for organizing medical care and develop new approaches in order to increase the nonspecific resistance, mobilize innate immunity. Objective . The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of glucosaminylmuramyldipeptide (GMDP) on the level of expression of markers of differentiation and activation of functionally significant subpopulations of dendritic cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy donors,the second aim was to assess the effectiveness of GMDP in the prevention of acute respiratory infections in an unfavorable epidemiological period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods . An open comparative study included 309 apparently healthy participants, aged 19-22 years. At the first stage of the study, 42 participants (22 female and 20 male) took the drug Licopid 1 mg for 10 days according to the instructions, 1 tablet 3 times a day in order to prevent acute respiratory infections. Peripheral blood sampling was performed before taking the drug (day 0) and the next day after the last dose of the drug (day 12). Evaluation of the expression of markers of differentiation and activation of dendritic cell subpopulations HLA-DR, CD11c, CD123, CD80, CD83, CCR7, CD3, CD14, CD20 was assessed by flow cytometry. At the same time, mRNA was isolated from mononuclear cells of perfusion blood and, after reverse transcription, the level of gene expression was determined by RT PCR. At the next stage, the effectiveness of the prophylactic use of the drug Licopid in 267 students of the Institute of Physical Culture was assessed in order to prevent acute respiratory infections in an unfavorable epidemiological period; the observation period was 12 months. Results and Discussion . A study of the relative quantitative composition of DCs in the peripheral blood of healthy donors by flow cytometry revealed the possibility of an increase in their total number, as well as subpopulations of MDC and PDC under the influence of GMDP. There was a statistically significant increase in the receptors for the chemokine CCR7, which is responsible for the recruitment of DCs to the secondary lymphoid organs. Analysis of the levels of expression of genes XCR1, CD11b , and CD103 showed a statistically significant effect of GMDP on an increase in their expression compared to the baseline level (before GMDP intake), with the mean value being higher in participants undergoing moderate exercise. It was found that the use of the drug Licopid 1mg for the purpose of preventing and reducing the seasonal incidence of acute respiratory infections at the stage of basic training of students of the Institute of Physical Culture contributed to a decrease in the incidence of acute respiratory infections within 12 months of observation after taking the drug. The number of episodes of acute respiratory infections decreased 3.7 times, while the group with 3 or more episodes of acute respiratory infections during the year, which constituted 14.5 % of participants, completely disappeared. The maximum efficiency of GMDP was observed in the track and field command, in which the number of participants who had no episodes of acute respiratory infections during the year increased by 7 times. Conclusion . Our data complement the modern understanding of the molecular mechanism of action of GMDP and substantiate the possibility of its experimental and clinical use in order to develop new strategies for organizing medical care in order to increase the nonspecific resistance of the organism.

“…Muramyl peptides are included in the structure of the cell wall of all known bacteria and implement their biological activity through specific binding to NOD2 receptors of innate immunity related to NLR [21]. Muramyl peptides, acting on cells of the immune system and epitheliocytes, stimulates production of cytokines, immunoglobulins and defensins, changes the phenotype of immunocompetent cells [22][23][24][25][26].…”

Relevance. Inflammation is a defense response of an organism to a pathogen. It appears in order to maintain homeostasis and is regulated by the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems. The hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine are produced in the adrenal medulla and in the brain, and are universal messengers that trigger the transmission of nerve impulses at synapses, and also have a receptor-mediated effect on immunocompetent cells. The aim of this study was to investigate adrenergic pathway regulation of inflammation on the neutrophil granulocytes in the presence of activators of innate immunity receptors. Materials and Methods. Neutrophil granulocytes were obtained from peripheral blood of healthy volunteers in a density gradient of Histopaque 1077 and Histopaque 1119 (Sigma Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany), and cultured in the presence of LPS, GMDP, epinephrine and norepinephrine. The amount of human neutrophil peptides 1-3 (HNP1-3) was examined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; the gene expression of TLR4, NOD2, ATF3 and A20 was determined using RT-PCR. Results and Discussion. Norepinephrine (noradrenaline) was found to decrease the synthesis of human neutrophils peptides 1-3 (HNP 1-3 defensins, alone and in the combination with agonists of TLR4 and NOD2 receptors - LPS and GMDP respectively. It was found out that there was no a statistically significant effect of epinephrine (adrenaline) on the production of HNP 1-3, including when combined with LPS and GMDP. As a result of the study, an increase in the levels of expression of the genes TLR4, NOD2 and regulator of inflammatory reactions A20 both in LPS- and GMDP- induced neutrophil culture were uncovered, while ATF3 was increased only in LPS-induced neutrophil culture. Epinephrine demonstrated the absence of a statistically significant effect on the expression of the studied genes. While norepinephrine significantly increased the expression of A20 genes. Conclusion. The data obtained shows that norepinephrine can reduce the synthesis of HNP 1-3, including the one induced by LPS and GMDP. Moreover, the ability of norepinephrine to induce the expression of A20 may play a significant role in modulation of inflammation.

The innate immune system provides an adequate response to stress factors and pathogens through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), located on the surface of cell membranes and in the cytoplasm. Generally, the structures of PRRs are formed by several domains that are evolutionarily conserved, with a fairly high degree of homology in representatives of different species. The orthologs of TLRs, NLRs, RLRs and CLRs are widely represented, not only in marine chordates, but also in invertebrates. Study of the interactions of the most ancient marine multicellular organisms with microorganisms gives us an idea of the evolution of molecular mechanisms of protection against pathogens and reveals new functions of already known proteins in ensuring the body’s homeostasis. The review discusses innate immunity mechanisms of protection of marine invertebrate organisms against infections, using the examples of ancient multicellular hydroids, tunicates, echinoderms, and marine worms in the context of searching for analogies with vertebrate innate immunity. Due to the fact that mucous membranes first arose in marine invertebrates that have existed for several hundred million years, study of their innate immune system is both of fundamental importance in terms of understanding molecular mechanisms of host defense, and of practical application, including the search of new antimicrobial agents for subsequent use in medicine, veterinary and biotechnology.
