Currently, new strategies to improve the quality of life for CRC patients are being actively explored. Molecular hydrogen has garnered attention as a biologically active molecule capable of reducing oxidative stress, modulating signaling pathways related to inflammation, proliferation, and immune cell activity, and influencing the tumor microenvironment.Aim. To investigate, using immunohistochemical studies on a rat CRC model, how water enriched with molecular hydrogen affects markers of immune cells, inflammation, proliferation, and the cell cycle.Material and Methods. Animals were divided into three groups: Group 1 – control; Group 2 – rats with CRC induced by 1,2-DMH administration for 30 weeks and given access to regular water; Group 3 – rats with induced CRC that consumed water enriched with molecular hydrogen at a concentration of 0.6 ppm. For immunohistochemical detection of target molecules in the intestinal wall, antibodies against CD4+, CD8+, CD20+, CD68+ cells, TNF-α, Ki-67, and p53 were used.Results. In the colon wall of rats with CRC, the percentage of T-helper cells (CD4+) exceeded the intact value by 11.02 times, T-killer cells (CD8+) by 3.33 times, B-lymphocytes (CD20+) by 11.41 times, and the macrophage population (CD68+) in aberrant foci increased by 11.28 times, while TNF-α expression rose by 16.72 times (p<0.001 in all cases). Under carcinogenesis conditions, the index of proliferative activity (Ki-67 exceeded the norm by 2.38 times (p<0.001)) and theintensity of the cell cycle (p53 levels were 6.85 times higher than the intact value (p<0.001)) also increased.In CRC rats consuming molecular hydrogen-enriched water, compared to uncorrected rats, a slight decrease in CD4+ and CD20+ cells and a minor increase in CD8+ cells were observed in the colon wall. The average expression levels of CD68 and TNF-α in Group 3 were significantly lower than in Group 2 by 1.33 and 1.22 times, respectively. However, no statistically significant differences in Ki-67 and p53 expression in the colon wall were found between Groups 2 and 3.Conclusion. Molecular hydrogen promotes adaptive antitumor immunity, enhances the activity of cytotoxic CD8+ cells capable of destroying tumor cells, effectively reduces inflammation (CD68+, TNF-α), but does not affect proliferation (Ki-67) or p53 accumulation. This suggests its auxiliary role in modulating the microenvironment rather than influencing core oncogenic processes in the rat CRC model.
