文摘

The mechanisms of early activation of natural killers were studied in volunteers of different athletic qualification. The initial levels of expression of KIR2DL2, PRF1, and GZMB genes regulating the functions of natural killer differ in athletes and untrained subjects. Moderate exercise stimulates transcription activities of these genes. In athletes, the expression increases more intensely than in controls. Stimulation of inhibitory (KIR2DL3) and activation (KIR2DS2) receptors was revealed. This indicated nonspecific stimulation of natural killers, probably mediated by an increase in serum concentration of heat shock protein with a molecular weight of 70 kDa.
