[Structural and Functional Modifications of Human Lymphocytes in Dynamics of UV-Induced Development of Their
Abstract:
The flow-cytometric analysis of condition of human peripheral blood lymphocytes in dynamics of development of the apoptosis induced by exposure to UV-light (240-390 nanometers) at a dose of 1510 J/m2 was carried out. Superficial architectonics and changes of the level of a membrane potential and functional activity of succinatedehydrogenase of mitochondrions are studied. The contribution of extracellular calcium to the processes of lymphocyte cellular death is revealed. The ideas about dynamics of the intracellular events leading to the death of photomodified lymphocytes 1-6 h after their UV-radiation exposure are specified and added on the basis of the analysis of our new and already published results.

Nucleotide Excision Repair
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
