Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant neoplasm characterized by extremely low curability and survival. The inflammatory microenvironment and maturation (differentiation) of AML cells induced by it contribute to the evasion of these cells from effectors of antitumor immunity. One of the key molecular effectors of immune surveillance, the cytokine TRAIL, is considered a promising platform for developing selective anticancer drugs. Previously, under in vitro conditions of the inflammatory microenvironment (a three-dimensional high-density culture of THP-1 AML cells), we demonstrated the emergence of differentiated macrophage-like THP-1ad clones resistant to TRAIL-induced death. In the present study, constitutive activation of proinflammatory signaling pathways, associated transcription factors, and increased expression of the anti-apoptotic BIRC3 gene were observed in TRAIL-resistant macrophage-like THP-1ad AML cells. For the first time, a bioinformatic analysis of the transcriptome revealed the main regulator, the IL1B gene, which triggers proinflammatory activation and induces resistance to TRAIL in THP-1ad macrophage-like cells.

Abstract
Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, is essential for normal body function and is used in the therapies of different diseases. Vitamin B12 has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can play an important role in the prevention of some diseases. On the other hand, it has been reported that vitamin B12 in combination with such reducing agents as ascorbate (vitamin C) and thiols showed prooxidant activity. This review provides information on the roles of vitamin B12 in diseases accompanied by inflammation and oxidative stress and the effects of vitamin B12 administrated alone and in combinations with different reducing agents such as ascorbate and thiols on oxidative stress. In addition, the mechanisms of prooxidant actions of combinations of vitamin B12 with these reducing agents depending on the form of vitamin B12 (hydroxocobalamin and cyanocobalamin) are discussed. Understanding the mechanisms of prooxidant action of vitamin B12 is necessary for developing strategies for therapeutic administration of vitamin B12.

Abstract
In experiments on Wistar rats, a simulated defect in the flat bones of the skull was filled with a collagen sponge of animal origin impregnated with BMP-2 or pure sponge; in control rats, the defect was left open. During follow-up, X-ray density of the collagen sponge in the experimental groups differed significantly. The results attest to the absence of spontaneous remodeling of the bone tissue under conditions modeled focal defect. Moreover, stimulation of reparative processes by the collagen matrix did not lead to positive dynamics. Saturation of the collagen sponge with BMP-2 in a concentration of 0.05 mg/ml allowed increasing Xray density of the bone starting from week 4.

Abstract
It is known that some metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Au) markedly increase the toxic effect of thiocarbamates. It was shown in the present study that hydroxycobalamin (a form of vitamin B12, HOCbl), which incorporates cobalt, significantly enhances the cytotoxicity of diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC), decreasing its IC50 value in tumor cells three to five times. The addition of HOCbl to aqueous DDC solutions accelerated the reduction of oxygen. No hydrogen peroxide accumulation was observed in DDC + HOCbl solutions; however, catalase slowed down the oxygen reduction rate. Catalase as well as the antioxidants N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and glutathione (GSH) partially inhibited the cytotoxic effect of DDC + HOCbl, whereas ascorbate, pyruvate, and tiron, a scavenger of superoxide anion, had no cytoprotective effect. The administration of HOCbl into DDC solutions (> 1 mM) resulted in the formation of a crystalline precipitate, which was inhibited in the presence of GSH. The data of UV and NMR spectroscopy and HPLC and Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) indicated that the main products of the reaction of DDC with HOCbl are disulfiram (DSF) and its oxidized forms, sulfones and sulfoxides. The increase in the cytotoxicity of DDC combined with HOCbl occurred both in the presence of Cu2+ in culture medium and in nominally Cu-free solutions, as well as in growth medium containing the copper chelator bathocuproine disulfonate (BCS). The results indicate that HOCbl accelerates the oxidation of DDC with the formation of DSF and its oxidized forms. Presumably, the main cause of the synergistic increase in the toxic effect of DDC + HOCbl is the formation of sulfones and sulfoxides of DSF.

Abstract
Suppression of resistance in acute myeloid leukemia cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis in multicellular aggregates, was studied using small molecule inhibitors of the activation of the transcription factor NF-kB - NF-k9 Activation Inhibitor IV and JSH-23 at non-toxic concentrations. NF-kB Activation Inhibitor IV and JSH-23 reduced resistance in the acute myeloid leukemia cells in multicellular aggregates to cytotoxic action of recombinant protein izTRAIL. It is shown that the use of these inhibitors decreased the phosphorylation of the RelA (p65) as a main marker activation of the transcription factor NF-kB. We discuss a possible reason for increasing resistance in acute myeloid leukemia cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis in multicellular aggregates.

Abstract
The extensively used thiol antioxidants (dithiothreitol, glutathione, and N-acetylcysteine) in combination with hydroxycobalamine (vitamin B12) gain toxic activity in relation to human lymphocytic leukemia cell line HL60. Combined treatment with thiol and vitamin B12 was followed by early destabilization of lysosomes and apoptotic death of cells. The cytotoxic effect was abolished by caspase inhibitors. An iron-chelating agent deferoxamine partly prevented cell death, while lysosomal protease inhibitor pepstatin produced no protective effect.

Abstract
Suppression of human tumor cell resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis in confluent cultures, using molecular target drugs (sorafenib and SAHA) at non-toxic concentrations was studied. Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, and SAHA, an inhibitor of histone deacetylase, effectively suppressed resistance of confluent human cells derived from the skin carcinoma (A431 cell line) and fibrosarcoma (HT-1080 cell line). The effectiveness of suppression of confluent resistance with these inhibitors for human carcinoma A431 cells was significantly higher than that for the human ovarian carcinoma OVCAR-3 cells. For all cell lines studied, suppression of confluent resistance with SAHA was more effective than when sorafenib was used. The possible reason for increasing tumor cell resistance in confluent cultures and the importance of this phenomenon for understanding drug resistance of cells in the tumor tissue are discussed.

Abstract
It was shown that cancer cells acquired resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis in confluent cultures. Recombinant protein izTRAIL induced apoptosis of human carcinoma A431 cells in the first hours after cell plating at a concentration of 3-10 ng/ml, while in confluent cultures these cells acquire resistance to protein izTRAIL even at the concentration of 2 mkg/ml. Detachment and suspending of the cells of confluent cultures immediately suppressed the resistance to izTRAIL. The cells of confluent cultures, being resistant to TRAIL-induced apoptosis continue progression through the cell cycle, as evidenced by the DNA cytograms and the Ki67p-GFP reporter system. Thus, the results showed that tumor A431 cells can acquire resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis in confluent cultures, while continue progression through the cell cycle, keeping the proliferative potential.

Inoculation of cells derived from the aorta of Wistar rats on devitalized porcine aortic walls 2-4-fold reduced their calcinosis after subcutaneous implantation to Wistar rats. Inoculation of Wistar rat bone marrow mesenchymal cells selected by adhesion activity did not reduce tissue calcinosis. The results indicate good prospects of repopulation of devitalized heart valve and vessel transplants by recipient vascular cells for reducing transplant calcinosis and improvement of their biocompatibility.

Abstract
We studied the prooxidant and cytotoxic action of thiols N-acetylcystein (NAC) and glutathione (GSH) combined with vitamin Bl2b. The synergism of action of the thiols and Bl2b resulted in human carcinoma cell damage was found. It was shown that GSH and NAC in physiological doses combined with Bl2b caused the initiation of apoptosis. It was established that prooxidant action of the thiols combined with vitamin Bl2b, i. e. generation and accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in culture medium, led to intracellular oxidative stress and injury of cell redox system. These effects were completely abolished by nonthiol antioxidants catalase and pyruvate. The chelators of iron phenanthroline and deferoxamine did not suppress the H2O2 accumulation in culture medium but significantly inhibited the cell death induced by the thiols combined with Bl2b. Therefore, the thiols GSH and NAC widely used as antioxidants, in combination with vitamin Bl2b show prooxidant characteristics and induce, with the participation of intracellular iron, apoptotic HEp-2 cell death.

Abstract
Incubation of human laryngeal epidermoid carcinoma HEp-2 cells with hydroxocobalamin (vitamin B12b) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) for 1 h initiated oxidative stress accompanied by damage to mitochondria and increase in intracellular oxidative activity. Studies of the kinetics of these processes showed that the increase in intracellular H2O2 activity and mitochondrial damage are more likely a result, but not the cause of cell apoptosis during the first hour of their incubation with vitamins B12b and C.

Abstract
The combined effect of ionizing radiation (0.5-4 Gy) and the vitamin B12-C complex on life-span of mice with Ehrlich carcinomas was studied. It was shown that antitumor effect of the combined treatment strictly depends on the sequence of the agent applying and on the time interval between them. For example, the combined treatment increased essentially the life-span of mice if the vitamins were used 24 h after irradiation but with the reverse order of influences, the antitumor effect was less than that of the vitamin complex only. It was supposed that the discovered regularities are due to tumor cell synchronization or division stimulation with the first influence.

Abstract
The formation and accumulation of DNA fragments containing no more than 23,000 pairs of bases were observed under exposure of human larynx epidermoid carcinoma cells (Hep-2) to "chemical nuclease", oxycobalamin (vitamin B12b) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The obtained DNA damages were repaired more slowly than those induced by gamma-irradiation in the dose adequate to the level of DNA damages. DNA reparation was not revealed after washing the cells from vitamin B12b and ascorbic acid, and in the course of cell incubation with ascorbic acid. Vitamin B12b and ascorbic acid separately did not induce degradation of DNA. DNA damages induced by "chemical nuclease" action precede the cell death observed later.

Abstract
Incubation of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma and HEp-2 human epidermoid laryngeal carcinoma cells with hydroxycobalamin (vitamin B12b) and ascorbic acid induced generation and accumulation of double-stranded DNA fragments (23,000 b.p. and longer) in cells. The same vitamins alone in the same concentrations produced no such effects. DNA degradation in HEp-2 cells caused by long-term (4 h) incubation with 5-25 microM hydroxycobalamin and ascorbic acid (1:10-1:40 molar ratio) at 37 degrees C was comparable with that induced by gamma-irradiation in a dose of 150 Gy at 4 degrees C.

Abstract
The combination of hydroxocobalamin (vitamin B12b) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) can cause the death of tumor cells at the concentrations of the components at which they are nontoxic when administered separately. This cytotoxic action on epidermoid human larynx carcinoma cells HEp-2 in vitro is shown to be due to the hydrogen peroxide generated by the combination of vitamins B12b and C. The drop in the glutathione level preceding cell death was found to be the result of combined action of the vitamins. It is supposed that the induction of cell death by combined action of vitamins B12b and C is connected to the damage of the cell redox system.

Abstract
Heart valve allografts are widely used for surgical treatment of the heart. In recent years a new field of research has emerged dealing with allograft modification by cells of recipient by means of tissue engineering. This method involves culturing fibroblasts and endothelial cells, using recipient tissue, followed by introduction of the fibroblasts into tissues of allograft and coating its surface by the endothelial cells. This modification is expected to ensure the structural maintenance of implanted tissues and to reduce its thrombogenecity. This procedure may promote the allograft adhering to the recipient tissues, thus prolonging the terms of the valve normal functioning after implantations. For this purpose, methods of luminescent microscopy are suggested using double staining of tissue with fluorescent dyes Hoechst 33,342 and ethidium bromide, or with fluorescein diacetate and ethidium bromide. Experimental results are presented indicative of fibroblast migration from the surface to the human heart valve leaflets.

Abstract
Measurements of intracellular pH (pHi) were taken in the course of NS/O myeloma cell proliferation, growth arrest and death. Cell proliferation was shown to take place within a wide range of various pHi values (6.8-7.2), in which cell death could also occur. In dense cultures, after ceasing proliferation the apoptosis pathway of cell death was activated practically without pHi changes. Both proliferation and cell death stimulation were noticed in serum-free medium with apoptosis prevalence up to 72 h. Apoptotic death occurred at various intracellular pH values within the range from 6.5 to 7.2. The data obtained provide the ground to suppose that in contrast to normal cells, the pHi value in NS/O myeloma tumor cells was not a regulator of their proliferation and death. The decrease of cell growth and increase of cell death can take place with put pHi alteration.

Abstract
We studied in vitro myeloma cell death in a serum-free medium. Spectrophotometric assessment of DNA fragmentation, flow cytometry, and staining by Hoechst dye and ethidium bromide indicate that by the beginning of the third day cell death largely followed the apoptotic pathway. We studied dynamics of intracellular pH (pHi) during the cell death and the relationship between the pHi and apoptosis induction during cultivation in media with different pH. We have shown that decreasing pHi in the course of cell death is a consequence rather than the cause of myeloma cell death. Apoptosis took place at cultivation in the media with pH 6.3 and 8.1; the corresponding pHi values were 6.5 and 7.2, respectively. In the presence of Ca-ionophore A23187 we observed appearance of the cells with aberrant distribution of chromatin and fragmented nucleus; however calcium binding in the media with 5-10 mM EDTA induced even more pronounced nuclei fragmentation. This may indicate that both increased and decreased concentration of intracellular calcium induce NS(O) myeloma cell apoptosis.

Abstract
An attempt was made to determine the role of metabolic acidification of pericellular medium in regulating cell proliferation. A method of measuring the pH of pericellular medium at a distance exceeding a Debye radius of 5-10 A from the cell surface (pHp) was developed. The values of pHp and pH measured in the medium at a distance of greater than 1 cm from cells (pHm) were found to differ, depending on the cell population density. At a density of at least 7 X 10(5) cells/cm2 (maximum saturation density) and at pHm 7.4-7.6, pHp reached a value of approximately 6.5. It was found that pHm 6.5 was unfavorable for cell proliferation in sparse cultures, where pHm and pHp were equal. Based on these findings, low pHp as revealed in the present work using dense cultures at optimal pHm can be considered to be a limiting factor for cell multiplication.

Abstract
A study was made of dynamics of pH changes in the pericellular space of the Chinese hamster fibroblasts after the completion of cell sedimentation in three media. With the first medium, the cells were spread over the glass, with the second one they were attached to the glass without spreading and with the third medium the cells were not attached to the glass at all. The pH value of the medium surrounding the cells decreased, mainly, within the first 6 hours after sedimentation was completed, this depended on the cell population density on the glass surface. The outlook of this dependence was different for the three media. Based on the analysis of the results obtained it is concluded that the attachment of cells to glass may lead to the increased efflux of acid metabolic products from the cell.

Abstract
The dynamics of pH changes occurring near the cells has been studied after the sedimentation of cells and after the culture medium replacement. For this purpose, cells were situated on the H+-selective membrane of the electrode. The pH fall in the space hear the cells took place mainly within the first 6 hours after sedimentation or medium replacement. The magnitude of this change depends on the cell population density and reaches 1.2 units of pH, if the density value was higher than 10(6) cell/cm2. It has been shown that there are two stages in the dynamics of pH changes near the cells during the first 6 hours after sedimentation and the mean rate of pH changes depends on the cell population density. Based on the results obtained, a possibility to explain the inhibition of cell growth in the monolayer by diffuse limitations of outflowing metabolic products is discussed.

Abstract
The method for studying the adhesion of mammalian cells to glass in vivo is presented. It is based on the effect of frustrated total reflection. It permits one to measure the index of refraction of hydroplasma situated near the site of cell-glass contact, to evaluate the distance between glass surface and cell surface membrane and to study the kinetics of flattening of the cell surface facing the glass.
