Immune Profile and Enzymes Activity State in Blood Lymphocytes in Patients of Different Stages Acute Lymphoblast Leukemia

Abstract

Background & objectives:Pathogenesis acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in adults is not well understood, as it is more common in children. We examined the immunological status and the activity of certain enzymes in blood lymphocytes in adult patients of ALL at different stages.Methods:ALL patients (n=71) admitted during 2000-2005 were included in this study. All patients had decreased T-lymphocytes content. At first attack, they had CD4 +-cells decreasing and increasing IgM and IgG concentration. In complete remission all examined parameters were low. The peculiarities of ALL recurrence were high NK-cells content and disbalances of the main immunoglobulin concentrations.Results:In the first attack and recurrence the anaerobe glucose oxidation intensity and the reactions of macromolecular synthesis were lower in lymphocytes compared to control. In remission all these processes restored to normal. In all stages in lymphocytes GR had decreased activity.Interpretation & Conclusions:Our results showed that most of changes in immune status of ALL patients were in a stage of complete remission when patients arrived on its maintenance through the small period from spent before therapy when the immune system of the patient has not been restored. Thus, probably cytostatic action causes immune failure in the future and starts disease again.

Enzyme Profile of Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes in Patients With the Renal Cell Carcinoma Before and After Surgical Treatment

“…Обнаружено, что при острых лимфо-бластных лейкозах в лимфоцитах перифериче-ской крови значительно снижена интенсивность анаэробного и аэробного дыхания [23]. Выявлена зависимость активности ферментов в лимфоци-тах от исхода распространенного гнойного пери-тонита [8].…”

Cytokine Regulation in the Course of Multiple Myeloma Progression

“…Не исключается их участие при про-грессировании множественной миеломы (ММ) [7,13,15]. У больных острыми и хроническими лейкозами выявляются значительные наруше-ния в клеточном и гуморальном звеньях имму-нитета [3,4,9,10,11,12,14].…”

The Relationship Between the Pro-Oxidant and Antioxidant System Status of Patients with Multiple Myeloma and the Disease Stage

“…It develops as a result of malignant degeneration of plasma cells with their subsequent uncontrolled proliferation leading to suppression of normal hemopoiesis. The course of hematological malignancies depends on the immune reactions [3,6,11]. In addition, tumor growth is associated with changes in antioxidant activity and oxidative stress parameters in the tumor tissue proper and in the host.…”
