The isolated mononuclear cells from rat blood and spleen were exposed to ascorbic acid (10 and 50 \u03bcM), hydroperoxyl radicals (HOO\u2022), and their combination. The following parameters were assessed: membrane toxicity (using the trypan blue exclusion test), internalization activity with latex particles (endocytosis), extracellular DNA networks formation, intracellular reactive oxygen species production kinetics (flow cytometry with the intracellular fluorescent probe dihydrorhodamine 123, DHR123), tryptophan fluorescence, glycated protein levels, and cellular redox balance (NAD+ and NADH).\nResults. Ascorbic acid at the concentrations of 10 and 50 \u03bcM suppressed the formation of extracellular DNA networks. At a concentration of 50 \u03bcM, it exerted a membrane-toxic effect, reduced tryptophan fluorescence, increased glycated protein levels, and shifted the redox balance toward oxidation (increased NAD+ and decreased NADH).\nHOO\u2022 radicals at concentrations \u2265200 \u03bcM demonstrated concentration-dependent effects: stimulation of endocytosis, increased formation of extracellular DNA networks, and elevated intracellular production of reactive oxygen species. At a concentration of 600 \u03bcM, HOO\u2022 radicals reduced tryptophan fluorescence and depleted both NAD+ and NADH levels. The stimulatory effects on endocytosis and extracellular DNA network formation in response to HOO\u2022 radicals were the most pronounced in splenic mononuclear cells.\nThe analysis of the combined action of HOO\u2022 radicals and ascorbic acid showed that ascorbic acid at a concentration of 10 \u03bcM protected cells from the membrane-toxic effects of HOO\u2022 radicals and reduced the formation of extracellular DNA networks induced by HOO\u2022 radicals. The ascorbic acid at a concentration of 50 \u03bcM enhanced the membrane-toxic effect of HOO\u2022 radicals and reduced the internalization activity of mononuclear cells.\nConclusion. HOO\u2022 radicals at concentrations \u2265200 \u03bcM stimulated the internalization activity of mononuclear cells and the intracellular generation of reactive oxygen species, whereas HOO\u2022 radicals at 600 \u03bcM caused a decrease in both oxidized and reduced coenzyme levels and increased the formation of extracellular DNA networks. Ascorbic acid at a concentration of 10 \u03bcM exhibited antioxidant properties and protected cells from the damaging effects of HOO\u2022 radicals, while at 50 \u03bcM it acted as a synergistic pro-oxidant, enhancing the membrane-toxic effect of the radicals and reducing the internalization activity of cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17691\/stm2026.18.3.05","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]],"date-time":"2026-06-30T09:14:42Z","timestamp":1782810882000},"page":"47","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Regulation by Ascorbic Acid and HOO\u2022 Radicals of Extracellular DNA Network Formation and Internalization Activity of Mononuclear Cells"],"prefix":"10.17691","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"K.M.","family":"Fiallos Barrionuevo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Sanogo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.N.","family":"Gorshkova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I.P.","family":"Ivanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"7124","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]]},"container-title":["Sovremennye tehnologii v medicine"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]],"date-time":"2026-06-30T09:14:42Z","timestamp":1782810882000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.stm-journal.ru\/en\/numbers\/2026\/18-3\/18-3-05\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17691\/stm2026.18.3.05","relation":{},"ISSN":["2076-4243"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2076-4243","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]]}}}
