The data are reported concerning the effects of ionizing radiation (0.155 C/kg, 0.206 C/kg, and 0.31 C/kg), A2 phospholipase and short-chain fatty acids that are indicative of an essential contribution of a membrane lipid component to the effect of radiation on Na-K pump of the neuron and the universality of the mechanisms of action of ionizing radiation on organisms differing in radiosensitivity. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to examine the potential protective effect of melatonin against whole body ionizing radiation (800 cGy). Changes in 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) levels, an index of DNA damage, and alterations in membrane fluidity (the inverse of membrane rigidity) and lipid peroxidation in microsomal membranes, as indices of damage to lipid and protein molecules in membranes, were estimated. Measurements were made in rat liver, 12 h after their exposure to radiation. To test the potential protective effects of melatonin, the indole was injected (i.p. 50 mg/kg b.w.) at 120, 90, 60 and 30 min prior to radiation exposure. Both 8-OH-dG levels and microsomal membrane rigidity increased significantly 12 h after radiation exposure. Melatonin completely counteracted the effects of ionizing radiation. Changes in 8-OH-dG levels and membrane fluidity are early sensitive parameters of DNA and microsomal membrane damage, respectively, induced by ionizing radiation and our findings document the protective effects of melatonin against ionizing radiation. 相似文献

Ionizing radiation was shown to reduce the membrane response to acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyric acid and to modify the sensitivity of acetylcholine reactions to ouabain. The possibility was demonstrated of the postirradiation pharmacological correction of the neuronal membrane chemosensitivity by increasing the intracellular concentration of ATP and by the external application of concanavalin A. Possible mechanisms of action of ionizing radiation on the chemoreceptive properties of the neuronal membrane are discussed. 相似文献

The effect of ionizing radiation on neuronal membrane function was assessed by measurement of neurotoxin-stimulated 22Na+ uptake by rat brain synaptosomes. High-energy electrons and gamma photons were equally effective in reducing the maximal uptake of 22Na+ with no significant change in the affinity of veratridine for its binding site in the channel. Ionizing radiation reduced the veratridine-stimulated uptake at the earliest times measured (3 and 5 s), when the rate of uptake was greatest. Batrachotoxin-stimulated 22Na+ uptake was less sensitive to inhibition by radiation. The binding of [3H]saxitoxin to its receptor in the sodium channel was unaffected by exposure to ionizing radiation. The effect of ionizing radiation on the lipid order of rat brain synaptic plasma membranes was measured by the fluorescence polarization of the molecular probes 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene and 1-[4-(trimethylammonium)phenyl]-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene. A dose of radiation that reduced the veratridine-stimulated uptake of 22Na+ had no effect on the fluorescence polarization of either probe. These results demonstrate an inhibitory effect of ionizing radiation on the voltage-sensitive sodium channels in rat brain synaptosomes. This effect of radiation is not dependent on changes in the order of membrane lipids. 相似文献

Using colony formation as an assay, a rat-mouse hybrid cell-line (HD1) and one of its parent lines (H4) have been studied as to their abilities to survive exposure to ionizing radiation, ultraviolet light, and the drugs actinomycin D and cordycepin. HD1 cells are more resistant than H4 to ionizing radiation, actinomycin D and cordycepin. Both cell lines respond similarly to ultraviolet light. When both cell-lines were co-treated with actinomycin D or cordycepin, the toxic effect of ionizing radiation was enhanced, whereas that of ultraviolet light (U.V.L.) was unchanged. The data suggest that RNA synthesis is more important immediately after irradiation with X-rays than with U.V.L. and that cells resistant to the toxic effect of ionizing radiation are also resistant to the toxicity induced by inhibitors of RNA synthesis. 相似文献

A study was made of the effect of ionizing radiation, phospholipase A2, and low concentrations of mediators (for instance, acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyric acid) on the content of cyclic nucleotides and phosphorylation of membrane proteins of Helix pomatia nervous ganglia. Ionizing radiation was shown to decrease considerably the levels of cAMP and cGMP which correlated with the diminution of membrane phosphorylation. Phospholipase A2 and low doses of mediators produced a modifying effect on the cyclic nucleotide content. 相似文献

The subcellular origin of ceramide signaling in ionizing radiation-triggered apoptosis was investigated using two previously described subclones of the autonomous erythro-myeloblastic cell line TF-1, radio-resistant and -sensitive TF-1-34 and TF-1-33, respectively. We show in nuclei-free lysates and cytoplasts that both cell lines failed to generate ceramide in response to ionizing radiation. Moreover, whereas cytoplasts did respond to anti-Fas stimulation through phosphatidylserine externalization, no effect was observed with ionizing radiation. Only in highly purified nuclei preparations did we observe ceramide generation, neutral sphingomyelinase activation, and apoptotic features (PARP cleavage, nuclear fragmentation, DNA laddering) in TF-1-33, but not in TF-1-34 cells. These observations suggest that nuclear sphingomyelinase and ceramide formation may contribute to ionizing radiation-triggered apoptosis. 相似文献

The biological effects of low-dose radiation have been investigated and debated for more than a century, but its cellular effects and regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study shows the human cellular responses to low-dose radiation in CCD-18 Lu cells, which are derived from normal human lung fibroblasts. We examined a colony-forming assay for cell survival by ionizing radiation. Live cell counting and cell cycle analysis were measured for cell proliferation and cell cycle progression following low-dose irradiation. We examined Raf and Akt phosphorylation to determine the proliferation mechanism resulting from low-dose radiation. We also observed that p53 and p21 were related to cell cycle response. We found that 0.05 Gy of ionizing radiation enhanced cell proliferation and did not change the progression of the cell cycle. In addition, 0.05 Gy of ionizing radiation transiently activated Raf and Akt, but did not change phospho-p53, p53 and p21 in CCD-18 Lu cells. However, 2 Gy of ionizing radiation induced cell cycle arrest, phosphorylation of p53, and expression of p53 and p21. The phosphorylation of Raf and Akt proteins induced by 0.05 Gy of ionizing radiation was abolished by pre-treatment with an EGFR inhibitor, AG1478, or a PI3k inhibitor, LY294002. Cell proliferation stimulated by 0.05 Gy of ionizing radiation was blocked by the suppression of Raf and Akt phosphorylation with these inhibitors. These results suggest that 0.05 Gy of ionizing radiation stimulates cell proliferation through the transient activation of Raf and Akt in CCD-18 Lu cells. 相似文献

Two new loci, irrB and irrI, have been identified in Deinococcus radiodurans. Inactivation of either locus results in a partial loss of resistance to ionizing radiation. The magnitude of this loss is locus specific and differentially affected by inactivation of the uvrA gene product. An irrB uvrA double mutant is more sensitive to ionizing radiation than is an irrB mutant. In contrast, the irrI uvrA double mutant and the irrI mutant are equally sensitive to ionizing radiation. The irrB and irrI mutations also reduce D. radiodurans resistance to UV radiation, this effect being most pronounced in uvrA+ backgrounds. Subclones of each gene have been isolated, and the loci have been mapped relative to each other. The irrB and irrI genes are separated by approximately 20 kb of intervening sequence that encodes the uvrA and pol genes. 相似文献

We previously reported that laminin immunoreactivity in mouse mammary epithelium is altered shortly after whole-body irradiation with 0.8 Gy from 600 MeV/nucleon iron ions but is unaffected after exposure to sparsely ionizing radiation. This observation led us to propose that the effect could be due to protein damage from the high ionization density of the ion tracks. If so, we predicted that it would be evident soon after radiation exposure in basement membranes of other tissues and would depend on ion fluence. To test this hypothesis, we used immunofluorescence, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and image segmentation techniques to quantify changes in the basement membrane of mouse skin epidermis. At 1 h after exposure to 1 GeV/nucleon iron ions with doses from 0.03 to 1.6 Gy, neither the visual appearance nor the mean pixel intensity of laminin in the basement membrane of mouse dorsal skin epidermis was altered compared to sham-irradiated tissue. This result does not support the hypothesis that particle traversal directly affects laminin protein integrity. However, the mean pixel intensity of laminin immunoreactivity was significantly decreased in epidermal basement membrane at 48 and 96 h after exposure to 0.8 Gy 1 GeV/nucleon iron ions. We confirmed this effect with two additional antibodies raised against affinity-purified laminin 1 and the E3 fragment of the long-arm of laminin 1. In contrast, collagen type IV, another component of the basement membrane, was unaffected. Our studies demonstrate quantitatively that densely ionizing radiation elicits changes in skin microenvironments distinct from those induced by sparsely ionizing radiation. Such effects may might contribute to the carcinogenic potential of densely ionizing radiation by altering cellular signaling cascades mediated by cell-extracellular matrix interactions. 相似文献

Effect of ionizing radiation in ultralow dose (5 microGy) on responses of erythrocyte electrophoretic motility (EPM) as a result of adrenoreceptor ligands binding (0.01-100 microM) has been investigated. The opposite directional EPM responses to agonists (adrenaline, isoprenaline) and antagonist (propranolol) of beta-adrenoreceptors was shown. At that, EPM response to the radiation coincides both with the direction and value of acting the beta-adrenoreceptor agonists depressing EPM. The EPM response to a combined action of beta-adrenoreceptors antagonist, propranolol (10 microM), and ionizing radiation is additive. The above listed is capable to evidence about the essential role of adrenoreceptors at formation of erythrocyte membrane surface charge under action of ionizing radiation in ultralow doses. 相似文献

The protective role of superoxide dismutases (SODs) against ionizing radiation, which generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) harmful to cellular function, was investigated in the wild-type and in mutant yeast strains lacking cytosolic CuZnSOD (sod1Delta), mitochondrial MnSOD (sod2Delta), or both SODs (sod1Deltasod2Delta). Upon exposure to ionizing radiation, there was a distinct difference between these strains in regard to viability and the level of protein carbonyl content, which is the indicative marker of oxidative damage to protein, intracellular H2O2 level, as well as lipid peroxidation. When the oxidation of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin was used to examine the hydroperoxide production in yeast cells, the SOD mutants showed a higher degree of increase in fluorescence upon exposure to ionizing radiation as compared to wild-type cells. These results indicated that mutants deleted for SOD genes were more sensitive to ionizing radiation than isogenic wild-type cells. Induction and inactivation of other antioxidant enzymes, such as catalase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and glutathione reductase, were observed after their exposure to ionizing radiation both in wild-type and in mutant cells. However, wild-type cells maintained significantly higher activities of antioxidant enzymes than did mutant cells. These results suggest that both CuZnSOD and MnSOD may play a central role in protecting cells against ionizing radiation through the removal of ROS, as well as in the protection of antioxidant enzymes. 相似文献

Early and late passage human embryonic lung fibroblasts were compared with early passage adult lung fibroblasts with regards to their survival (number of population doublings), after low dose rate ionizing radiation. It was found that early passage embryonic cells are quite resistant to this type of radiation. Late passage embryonic and early passage adult fibroblasts are more sensitive to ionizing radiations. The results suggest that cell aging is accompanied by an increased sensitivity to low dose rate ionizing radiation and favor the idea that aging in vitro, expressed as a function of the fibroblast division potential, is correlated with aging in vivo. 相似文献

Membrane effects of ionizing radiation and hyperthermia 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Results of numerous studies demonstrate that membranes are important sites of cell damage by both ionizing radiation and hyperthermia. Modification of membrane properties (mainly lipid fluidity) affects the cellular responses to radiation and hyperthermia but former concepts that membrane rigidification sensitizes cells to radiation while membrane fluidization potentiates hyperthermic damage have now been seriously challenged. It seems that the effects of membrane fluidity on cell responses to hyperthermia and radiation are due to an indirect influence on functional membrane proteins. The major role of lipid peroxidation in radiation damage to membranes has also been questioned. The existing evidence makes it unlikely that the interaction between radiation and hyperthermia is determined by the action of both agents on the same membrane components. 相似文献

We report the hypersensitivity of SV40-transformed fibroblasts derived from ataxia telangiectasia (AT) patients to calicheamicin gamma 1I. In common with other free-radical generating agents such as bleomycin and ionizing radiation, treatment with calicheamicin gamma 1I reveals AT derived lines to be 6-fold more sensitive to this drug when compared to controls. Furthermore, in common with ionizing radiation, AT cells did not show dose-dependent inhibition of DNA synthesis after treatment with calicheamicin gamma 1I. 相似文献

There is little known about the regulation of gene expression in rat parotid glands after exposure to ionizing radiation. The present studies investigate the effects of in vivo ionizing radiation, with subsequent stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors by isoproterenol, on parotid gland function and on the expression of the early response genes, c-fos, c-jun, and jun B. Ionizing radiation diminished parotid gland weight and saliva output. Treatment of irradiated rats with isoproterenol increased the gland weight to levels similar to those in nonirradiated rats. However, such treatment had no effect on saliva output as indicated by measurements of parotid salivary flow rate. Irradiation alone increased the expression of c-fos, c-jun, and jun B. The combination of irradiation and isoproterenol had an additional effect on the levels of c-fos and jun B mRNAs and proteins particularly at earlier experimental times (1 to 8 h). Isoproterenol alone induced high levels of c-fos and jun B mRNA but not of c-jun mRNA. However, c-jun mRNA was induced markedly by radiation and 8 h of isoproterenol treatment, indicating a combined effect on c-jun gene expression. These observations suggest that the expression of the proto-oncogenes c-fos, c-jun, and jun B is probably regulated through differential signal transduction pathways which may be activated by these external stimuli and may be associated with functional changes induced in the rat parotid gland by ionizing radiation and by ionizing radiation and isoproterenol. 相似文献

Arsenic trioxide (As2O3) inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in certain types of cancer cells including acute promyelocytic leukemia, prostate and ovarian carcinomas, but its effect on response of tumor cells to ionizing radiation has never been explored before. Here we demonstrate that As2O3 can sensitize human cervical cancer cells to ionizing radiation both in vitro and in vivo. As2O3 in combination with ionizing radiation have a synergistic effect in decreasing clonogenic survival and in the regression of established human cervical tumor xenografts. Pretreatment of the cells with As2O3 also synergistically enhanced radiation-induced apoptosis. Apoptosis of the cells by combined treatment of As2O3 and radiation was associated with reactive oxygen species generation and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, resulting in the activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3. The combined treatment also resulted in an increased G2/M cell cycle distribution at the concentration of As2O3 which did not alter cell cycle when applied alone. These results indicate that As2O3 can synergistically enhance radiosensitivity of human cervix carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting a potential clinical applicability of combination treatment of As2O3 and ionizing radiation in cancer therapies. 相似文献
