Adhesive interactions between immune and cancer cells are significant for reducing the immune escape mechanism for tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate the leukocyte integrins LFA-1 (CD11a) and Mac-1 (CD11b) expressions on blood lymphocytes in males of CBA inbred mice susceptible to spontaneous hepatomas as well as their regulation by multiphytoadap-togene phytomix-40 (phm-40) under different schemes of administration. Phm-40 consists of components from forty medical herbs extracts. Phm-40 develops wide spectrum of activities including antitumour and immu-nomodifying effects. The mice of the 1 -st group (n = 90) were control animals. The mice of the 2-nd group (n = 40) were given 10 % phm-40 solution in drinking water during the first month of life including the final time period of liver differentiation (as preventive application). The mice of the 3-d group (n = 40) were given 10 % phm-40 solution in drinking water starting at the 6-th month of mouse age (when the first carcinomas are generated) by 3 weeks courses with 1 week intervals (as therapeu-
tic application). immune cells were analyzed by quantifying the expression of CD11a and CD11b antigens using flow cytometric study. There were no significant differences between parameters evaluated in all groups at the ages of 4 and 8 months. in the control group of animals LFA-1 and Mac-1 expressions were decreased down to 35,4 ± 1,6 % and 7,8 ± 1,0 % correspondingly (p8 22 < 0,01) at the age of 22 months. Parameters alterations observed can suppress adhesive interactions between immune effectors and tumour cells. At the same time in the 2-nd and 3-d groups (preventive and therapeutic phm-40 administrations) LFA-1 (40,7 ± 1,9 % and 42,3 ± 2,9 % correspondingly) and Mac-1 (11,5 ± 1,1% and 12,8 ± 1,7 % correspondingly) expressions were higher than parameters in control group (p = 0,05) at the age of 22 months. The results suggest the upregulation of the blood lymphocytes level with leukocyte integ-rins is due to the elevation of adhesive ligands (iCAM-1, 2) in tumours for immune effectors which can kill cancer cells enhancing the organism antitumor inspection.

Cytokines are pleiotropic in their biological activities including the immune response. in recent years it is obvious that cytokines mediate immune and tumour cells interactions. Serum cytokines iL-6 and iL-10 as well as their regulation by multiphytoadaptogene preparation phytomix-40 (phm-40) under different schemes of administration were investigated in males of CBA inbred mice with high frequency of spontaneous hepatocarcinomas. Phm-40 consists of components from forty medical herbs extracts. Phm-40 develops wide spectrum of activities including antiox-idant, antimutagenic, antitumour and immunomodify-ing effects. The mice of the 1-st group (n = 90) were control animals. The mice of the 2-nd group (n = 40) were given 10 % phm-40 solution in drinking water during the first month of life including the final time period of liver differentiation (as preventive application). The
mice of the 3-d group (n = 40) were given 10 % phm-40 solution in drinking water starting at the 6-th month of mouse age (when the first carcinomas are generated) by 3 weeks courses with 1 week intervals (as therapeutic application). Serum cytokine concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. There were no differences between parameters evaluated in animals of all groups at the age of 4 and 8 months. The iL-6 and iL-10 serum concentrations in control animals were elevated significantly (to 139,1 ± 6,6 pg/ml and 60,9 ± 3,9 pg/ml correspondingly, p < 0,01 ) at the age of 22 months. However iL-6 and iL-10 serum levels in the 2-nd and the 3-d groups were lower at the age of 22 months than in young animals (p < 0,05). Thus early short-term preventive as well as prolonged therapeutic phm-40 administrations lead to reducing iL-6 and iL-10 serum levels. Decrease

of iL-10 (as immunosupressive cytokine) and iL-6 (which takes part in myoproteosis degradation) serum levels can restore immune cells activity. it was correlated with increasing the leukocyte integrins expression. Down regulation of serum iL-6 and iL-10 cytok-
ines in males of CBA inbred mice with high frequency of spontaneous hepatocarcinomas is considered to reduce antitumour antibodies production (which cover tumor cells antigens and diminish immune cells activity) as well as cachexia symptoms.

The beetroot pomace (BPE), residue from the juice processing, is promising source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant, hepatoprotective and antitumor properties. The aim of this research was to investigate the antioxidant activity of BPE and its effect on biochemical parameters of oxidative stress evaluated in liver homogenate of rats. The antioxidant activity of BPE, including reducing power and DPPH free radical scavenging activity were determined spectrophotometrically. The effects of BPE on several biochemical parameters of oxidative stress were evaluated in liver homogenate of rats treated with CCl4 as a free radical generator: LPx intensity, content of GSH and activities of GSH-Px, GR, Px, XOD and CAT BPE was able to scavenge DPPH radicals (EC50DPPH=3.4 ig/ml). The reducing power of BPE increased with increasing the concentration. The BPE, combined with a CCl4, expressed
a clear and dose-dependent suppressive effect against lipid peroxidation in liver homogenate. Simultaneous application of extract and CCl4 has led to a significant decrease in GSH-Px levels, keeping the GSH content in liver homogenate close to physiological level. Similar impact on GR activity has been observed in liver of the animals. The catalase activity was decreased after treatment with BPE and CCl4 Similar influence on hepatic Px activity has been also observed. Although CCl4 does not alter the activity of hepatic XOD certain increase of XOD activity has been measured after addition of BPE. Obtained results demonstrated that the beetroot pomace extract might possess a specific antioxidant potential, suggesting that it might be used not only as a hepatoprotective agent, but as an active agent in treatment of other disorders caused by oxidative stress.

Tomato, fresh and its products, possess a high nutritional value, due to content of different types of anti-oxidants: carotenoids, polyphenolics, vitamin C and vitamin E. According to the fact that different valuable compounds remained in the waste from tomato juice processing, the aim of this research was to investigate the antioxidant and cell growth activities of tomato waste lipophilic extracts (obtained from genotypes — Backa and Saint Pierre). The lycopene and P-carotene in tomato waste extracts were identified and quantified by HPLC method by matching their retention times (RT) and on-line ultraviolet (UV) spectra with those of stan-
dards. The antioxidant activity of extracts were investigated by measuring 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity by spectrophoto-metric method. The cell growth activity was measured using the sulforhodamine B colorimetric assay on human cancer HeLa (cervix epitheloid carcinoma) and MCF7 (breast adenocarcinoma) cell lines. The Baka waste extract contained higher st content of lycopene (13.6 ± 0.1 mg/g) and P-carotene (12.0 ± 0.3 mg/g). The extracts were able to scavenge DPPH radical and higher antioxidant activity, expressed as iC50DPPH value, was obtained in the case of the Backa waste extract
