Assessment of adaptation  with using apoptotic markers CD95 and APO2.7

Adapting to the resort - the process of adaptation of the organism to new environmental conditions in which there is treatment and rest. There are characteristic adaptation processes in children, prolonged and frequent episodes of arriving at the spa treatment at health resorts of Crimea from various regions of Ukraine. It is known that the degree of stress on physiological systems due to the contrast between the climatic conditions of place of residence. At a certain category of children is seen dramatic disruption of adaptation, the emergence of stress that can affect the immune system. The aim of our study was to determine the immune status of children with the syndrome dysadaptation, as well as monitoring the status of cellular immunity using apoptosis markers CD95 and APO2.7.

We examined 25 children of both sexes aged from 8 to 16 years old, located on the sanatorium stage of rehabilitation in sanatoria "Jubilee" and "Emerald" Evpatoria and classified as long and often ailing, mainly chronic naso-pharyngeal region.

Adaptation assessment in children categories of long and frequent episodes included the analysis of peripheral blood of patients with the use of the following markers: CD95 - cell-surface receptor that can trigger apoptosis in it after its interaction with Fas-ligand or monoclonal antibodies to Fas, APO2.7 - for determine protsentsnoy of cells that have undergone apoptosis. Method of assessing the state of adaptation using markers CD95 and APO2.7 includes the use of flow cytometry and marker-receptor CD-95 as indktora apoptosis, and additionally used a marker antigen APO2.7 (also known as 7A6), which appears on the membrane of mitochondria in the early stages of apoptosis. Expression of APO2.7 detected in the early stages of apoptosis. APO2.7 also can be detected in cells after exposure to radiation, drugs or binding of CD-95, Fas-ligand. Living cells are negative or slabopozitivny to this antigen.

The analysing of the data indicates that the children at early stage of deviation from the normal processes of adaptation have increased apoptosis (increase in CD95 expression and APO2.7, indicating that the development processes dysadaptation). The degree of degradation of cellular immunity is reflected in an inverse correlation between indicators of cellular immunity (reduction of CD3 + and CD4 +) and indicators of apoptosis (increased CD95 and APO2.7). The analysis of the data that children with abnormal states of adaptation by identifying markers of apoptosis of peripheral blood neutrophils has been a strengthening of apoptosis. Investigating the correlation between the level of cellular immunity, indicators of apoptosis, we noticed that there is a close inverse correlation (r> -0,5) between the indices of cellular immunity (reduction of CD3 +, CD4 +) and indicators of apoptosis (increase CD95 and APO 2.7 ).

Thus, the deviation from the norm of the state of adaptation by measuring apoptosis of peripheral blood neutrophils was in the clear depending on the treatment measures at the stage of sanatorium rehabilitation.
