title: [Regulation of morphologicaland functional properties of astroglial cells by hydrogen peroxide].
abstract: Effects of hydrogen peroxide on morphological characteristics, proliferation index, menadione-dependent lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence of C6 glioma cells were studied. It was established that H2O2 at 1 x 10(-8) - 5 x 10(-7) M concentrations acts as a regulator of morphological and functional properties of astrocytes by inducing their reactivation that is manifested as a cell body hypertrophy and an increase of proliferative activity and of menadione-dependent production of superoxide (O2- ). Cytodestructive action of hydrogen peroxide at a concentration higher than 1 microM on C6 glioma cells shows itself as a decrease of their proliferation index and the ability to generate O2- under menadione action. Using lipopolysaccharide B as a functional stimulator it has been shown that H2O2 modifies signaling pathways leading to the increase of mitotic activity of C6 glioma cells and decreases the yield of lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence of astrocytes under menadione action to the level of control values.
