Abstract

Previous studies have indicated that space flight affects the activation of lymphocytes from humans, monkeys, and rodents. In rats, where lymphocytes from blood, spleen, and lymph nodes have been tested, the accumulated data suggest that the effects of flight on various cells are lymphoid organ-specific. Thus, cells may be affected by variations in trafficking brought about by fluid shifts in microgravity (< 10(-3) g). In this study we examined lymphocyte activation (IL-2 production) as well as the expression of surface differentiation antigens and of adhesion molecules by splenocytes and lymph node lymphocytes (LNL) after a 10-day flight (Space Shuttle Mission STS-57). For splenocytes and LNL from flight (FLT) animals, IL-2 production decreased in response to the T cell receptor-independent mitogen 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate plus ionomycin, but was not affected by stimulation with the T cell receptor-dependent mitogens Concanavalin A or phytohemagglutinin. In addition, the percentage, as well as fluorescent intensity, of splenocytes which expressed CD8, CD4, or kappa increased after flight. The percentage of LNL expressing CD2 also increased but those expressing CD5 decreased. The percentage of cells expressing the i...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
