[Effect of forskolin and quinacrine on leukocyte functions under the effect of low-dose radiation]. / Vplyv forskolinu ta khinakrynu na funktsiï leikotsytiv za diï radiatsiï v nyz'kykh dozakh.

The adenylate cyclase and phospholipase A2 incorporation in the functional responses as well as lipid peroxidation processes and glutathione system homeostasis of animal leukocytes to small doses of ionizing radiation (1-100 mGy) have been estimated. The cells were irradiated by introduction of radioactive isotope 14C-leucine into the incubation medium. It is established that the ionizing radiation has different effects on the modification of cellular functions by the agents, which change adenylate cyclase and phospholipase A2 activity. Neutralization of stimulative irradiation effect on chemokinesis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes by quinacrine (the inhibitor of phospholipase A2) indicates for certain, that metabolism of eicosanoids takes immediate part in the cell response to ionizing radiation. Apparently, adenylate cyclase has no influence on this process, where at indicates the lack of influence of forskolin (the stimulator of adenylate cyclase) on the spontaneous motility, and on the radiation action on this leukocyte function. Rosette forming ability of lymphocytes is regulated by both enzymes because it is modified both by the inhibitor of phospholipase A2, and by the adenylate cyclase stimulant. In this case it is impossible to exclude the action of ionizing radiation both through the adenylate cyclase cascade, and through the eicosanoid metabolism. In all the concentration range the radionuclides do not affect the studied biochemical indexes of the cell, but change the action of the modifiers.
