The study of rare human syndromes characterized by radiosensitivity has been instrumental in identifying novel proteins and pathways involved in DNA damage responses to ionizing radiation. In the present study, a mutation in mitochondrial poly-A-polymerase (MTPAP), not previously recognized for its role in the DNA damage response, was identified by exome sequencing and subsequently associated with cellular radiosensitivity. Cell lines derived from two patients with the homozygous MTPAP missense mutation were radiosensitive, and this radiosensitivity could be abrogated by transfection of wild-type mtPAP cDNA into mtPAP-deficient cell lines. Further analysis of the cellular phenotype revealed delayed DNA repair, increased levels of DNA double-strand breaks, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), and increased cell death after irradiation (IR). Pre-IR treatment of cells with the potent anti-oxidants, α-lipoic acid and n-acetylcysteine, was sufficient to abrogate the DNA repair and clonogenic survival defects. Our results firmly establish that mutation of the MTPAP gene results in a cellular phenotype of increased DNA damage, reduced repair kinetics, increased cell death by apoptosis, and reduced clonogenic survival after exposure to ionizing radiation, suggesting a pathogenesis that involves the disruption of ROS homeostasis.  相似文献

The effect of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS)(hydrogen peroxide -- H(2)O(2), superoxide anion radical O(2)*- and hydroxyl radical *OH -- the reaction products of hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase system), nitric oxide (NO* from sodium nitroprusside -- SNP), and peroxynitrite (ONOO(-) from 3-morpholinosydnonimine -- SIN-1) on insulin mitogenic effect was studied in L6 muscle cells after one day pretreatment with/or without antioxidants. ROS/RNS inhibited insulin-induced mitogenicity (DNA synthesis). Insulin (0.1 microM), however, markedly improved mitogenicity in the muscle cells treated with increased concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1 mM) of donors of H(2)O(2), O(2)*-, *OH, ONOO(-) and NO*. Cell viability assessed by morphological criteria was also monitored. Massive apoptosis was induced by 1 mM of donors of H(2)O(2) and ONOO(-), while NO* additionally induced necrotic cell death. Taken together, these results have shown that ROS/RNS provide a good explanation for the developing resistance to the growth promoting activity of insulin in myoblasts under conditions of oxidative or nitrosative stress. Cell viability showed that neither donor induced cell death when given below 0.5 mM. In order to confirm the deleterious effects of ROS/RNS prior to the subsequent treatment with ROS/RNS plus insulin one day pretreatment with selected antioxidants (sodium ascorbate - ASC (0.01, 0.1, 1 mM), or N-acetylcysteine - NAC (0.1, 1, 10 mM) was carried out. Surprisingly, at a low dose (micromolar) antioxidants did not abrogate and even worsened the concentration-dependent effects of ROS/RNS. In contrast, pretreatment with millimolar dose of ASC or NAC maintained an elevated mitogenicity in response to insulin irrespective of the ROS/RNS donor type used.  相似文献

The potential genotoxic effect of a time-varying magnetic field (MF) on human cells was investigated. Upon continuous exposure of human primary fibroblast and cervical cancer cells to a 60 Hz MF at 7 mT for 10-60 min, no significant change in cell viability was observed. However, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double-strand breaks (DSBs) were detected, and the DNA damage checkpoint pathway was activated in these cells without programmed cell death (called apoptosis). The exposure of human cells to a 60 Hz MF did not induce intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, suggesting that the observed DNA DSBs are not directly caused by ROS. We also compared the position and time dependency of DNA DSBs with numerical simulation of MFs. The Lorentz force and eddy currents in these experiments were numerically calculated to investigate the influence of each factor on DNA DSBs. The DNA DSBs mainly occurred at the central region, where the MF was strongest, after a 30-min exposure. After 90 min, however, the amount of DNA DSBs increased rapidly in the outer regions, where the eddy current and Lorentz force were strong.  相似文献

The effect of arsenite or nickel on the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) was studied in gamma-irradiated Chinese hamster ovary cells using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. After treatment with nickel chloride or arsenite for 2 h, cells were irradiated with gamma rays at a dose of 40 Gy, and the numbers of DNA DSBs were measured immediately after irradiation as well as at 30 min postirradiation. Both arsenite and nickel(II) inhibited repair of DNA DSBs in a concentration-dependent manner; 0.08 mM arsenite significantly inhibited the rejoining of DSBs, while 76 mM nickel was necessary to observe a clear inhibition. The mean lethal concentrations for the arsenite and nickel(II) treatments were approximately 0.12 and 13 mM, respectively. This indicates that the inhibition of repair by arsenite occurred at a concentration at which appreciable cell survival occurred, but that nickel(II) inhibited repair only at cytotoxic concentrations at which the cells lost their proliferative ability. These novel observations provide insight into the mechanisms underlying the effects of combined exposure to arsenite and ionizing radiation in our environment.  相似文献

Ambient air particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) contains many harmful components that can enter the circulatory system and produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in body. Oxidative stress and DNA damage induced by ROS may affect any cellular macromolecule and lead to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Flavonoids, widely distributed in some herbs and berries, have been proved having anti-oxidative or anti-cancer efficacy. In this study, we investigated whether Flavone, a kind of flavonoids, can protect human bronchial epithelial cells (HBE) from DSBs caused by PM2.5 and how this function is probably implemented. We found that cells exposed to PM2.5 obviously induced viability inhibition, DNA damage and part of apoptosis. However, Flavone treatment prior to PM2.5 apparently improved cell viability, and mitigated the formation of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, the expression of DNA damage-relative protein and cell apoptosis. Our studies demonstrated that PM2.5 induced oxidative DSBs while Flavone ameliorated the DNA damage and increased cell viability probably through influencing DNA repair mechanism of cells.  相似文献

We studied the modulating effect of protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors on the response of cells of the human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line K562 to radiation. The radiosensitivity of the cells was increased by treatment with herbimycin A and decreased by treatment with genistein. This modulating effect of protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors on radiation sensitivity was associated with the alteration of the mode of radiation-induced cell death. After X irradiation, the cells arrested in the G(2) phase of the cell cycle, but these TP53(-/-) cells were unable to sustain cell cycle arrest. This G(2)-phase checkpoint deficit caused cell death. The morphological pattern of cell death was characterized by swelling of the cytoplasmic compartments, cytosolic vacuolation, disruption of the plasma membrane, less evident nuclear condensation, and faint DNA fragmentation, all of which were consistent with oncosis or cytoplasmic apoptosis. The nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A accelerated the induction of typical apoptosis by X irradiation, which was demonstrated by morphological assessments using nuclear staining and electron microscopy as well as oligonucleosomal fragmentation and caspase 3 activity. Herbimycin A is known to be a selective antagonist of the BCR/ABL kinase of Philadelphia chromosome-positive K562 cells; this kinase blocks the induction of apoptosis after X irradiation. Our results showed that the inhibition of protein tyrosine kinase by herbimycin A enhanced radiation-induced apoptosis in K562 cells. This effect was associated with the activation of caspase 3 and rapid abrogation of the G(2)-phase checkpoint with progression out of G(2) into G(1) phase. In contrast, the receptor-type protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein protected K562 cells from all types of radiation-induced cell death through the inhibition of caspase 3 activity and prolonged maintenance of G(2)-phase arrest. Further investigations using this model may give valuable information about the mechanisms of radiation-induced apoptosis and about the radiosensitivity and radioresistance of chronic myelogenous leukemia cells having the Philadelphia chromosome.  相似文献

Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) patients were investigated before and during chemical and radiation therapy. The properties of peripheral blood lymphocytes of the HL patients before treatment have been compared with healthy donors and the patients during the treatment. The genetic damage--frequency of cells with micronuclei (MN), the level of DNA single- and double-strand breaks (SSB and DSB), DNA-protein cross-links (DPC) have been studied. Biochemical and physiological parameters have been compared as well: the concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the ability to the adaptive response induction. The radiosensitivity of lymphocytes in vitro exposed to the 1 Gy irradiation has also been determined (by MN test). It was shown that in Hodgkin's lymphoma patients' lymphocytes (in comparison with healthy donors) the frequency of cells with MN does not change, the level of SSBs and DSBs increases, the amount of DPC does not change, and ROS concentration (on average) significantly increases because of the part of the population that have high ROS content. The ROS concentration decreases to control level, the frequency of cells with MN increases, the level of DSBs does not change but the level of DPCs (which prevents the determination of DSB) increases in the patients during treatment. It was also discovered that lymphocyte radiosensitivity correlates with the MN cells frequency before treatment and the ROS concentration. These results make it possible to suppose that the high MN frequency and high ROS concentration in Hodgkin's lymphoma patient lymphocytes (before treatment) can serve as prognostic factors for the effectiveness of radio and chemical therapy.  相似文献

We evaluated the effect of the antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) on the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), DNA double strand breaks (DSB) and micronuclei (MN) induced by internal and external irradiation using a rat thyroid cell line PCCL3. In internal irradiation experiments, ROS and DSB levels increased immediately after 131I addition and then gradually declined, resulting in very high levels of MN at 24 and 48 h. NAC administration both pre- and also post-131I addition suppressed ROS, DSB and MN. In external irradiation experiments with a low dose (0.5 Gy), ROS and DSB increased shortly and could be prevented by NAC administration pre-, but not post-irradiation. In contrast, external irradiation with a high dose (5 Gy) increased ROS and DSB in a bimodal way: ROS and DSB levels increased immediately after irradiation, quickly returned to the basal levels and gradually rose again after >24 h. The second phase was in parallel with an increase in 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. The number of MN induced by the second wave of ROS/DSB elevations was much higher than that by the first peak. In this situation, NAC administered pre- and post-irradiation comparably suppressed MN induced by a delayed ROS elevation. In conclusion, a prolonged ROS increase during internal irradiation and a delayed ROS increase after external irradiation with a high dose caused serious DNA damage, which were efficiently prevented by NAC. Thus, NAC administration even both after internal or external irradiation prevents ROS increase and eventual DNA damage.  相似文献

Exposure of cells to ionizing radiation (IR) induces, not only, activation of multiple signaling pathways that play critical roles in cell fate determination, but also alteration of molecular pathways involved in cell death or survival. Recently, DNA methylation has been established as a critical epigenetic process involved in the regulation of gene expression in cancer cells, suggesting that DNA methylation inhibition may be an effective cancer treatment strategy. Because alterations of gene expression by DNA methylation have been considered to influence radioresponsiveness, we investigated the effect of a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC), on radiosensitivity. In addition, we investigated the underlying cellular mechanisms of combination treatments of ionizing irradiation (IR) and 5-aza-dC in human colon cancer cells. Colon cancer cell lines were initially tested for radiation sensitivity by IR in vitro and were treated with two different doses of 5-aza-dC. Survival of these cell lines was measured using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) and clonogenic assays. The effects of 5-aza-dC along with irradiation on cell growth, cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, and apoptosis-related gene expression were examined. Combination irradiation treatment with 5-aza-dC significantly decreased growth activity compared with irradiation treatment alone or with 5-aza-dC treatment alone. The percentage of HCT116 cells in the sub-G1 phase and their apoptotic rate was increased when cells were treated with irradiation in combination with 5-aza-dC compared with either treatment alone. These observations were strongly supported by increased caspase activity, increased comet tails using comet assays, and increased protein levels of apoptosis-associated molecules (caspase 3/9, cleaved PARP). Our data demonstrated that 5-aza-dC enhanced radiosensitivity in colon cancer cells, and the combination effects of 5-aza-dC with radiation showed greater cellular effects than that of single treatment, suggesting that the combination of 5-aza-dC and radiation has the potential to become a clinical strategy for the treatment of cancer.  相似文献

Ionizing radiation and somatostatin analogues are used for acromegaly treatment to achieve normalization or reduction of growth hormone hypersecretion and tumor shrinkage. In this study, we investigated a combination of somatostatin (SS14) with ionizing radiation of (60)Co and its effect on reparation of radiation-induced damage and cell death of somatomammotroph pituitary cells GH3. Doses of gamma-radiation 20-50 Gy were shown to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in GH3 cells regardless of somatostatin presence. It has been found that the D(0) value for GH3 cells was 2.5 Gy. Somatostatin treatment increased radiosensitivity of GH3 cells, so that D(0) value decreased to 2.2 Gy. We detected quick phosphorylation of histone H2A.X upon irradiation by the dose 20 Gy and its colocalization with phosphorylated protein Nbs-1 in the site of double strand break of DNA (DSB). Number of DSB decreased significantly 24 h after irradiation, however, clearly distinguished foci persisted, indicating non repaired DSB, after irradiation alone or after combined treatment by irradiation and SS14. We found that SS14 alone triggers phosphorylation of Nbs1 (p-Nbs1), which correlates with antiproliferative effect of SS14. Irradiation also increased the presence of p-Nbs1. Most intensive phosphorylation of Nbs1 was detected after combined treatment of irradiation and SS14. The decrease of the number of the DSB foci 24 h after treatment shows a significant capacity of repair systems of GH3 cells. In spite of this, large number of unrepaired DSB persists for 24 h after the treatment. We conclude that SS14 does not have a radioprotective effect on somatomammotroph GH3 cells.  相似文献

Resveratrol (RV) is a natural component of red wine and grapes that has been shown to be a potential chemopreventive and anticancer agent. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying RV''s anticancer and chemopreventive effects are incompletely understood. Here we show that RV treatment inhibits the clonogenic growth of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, the tumor-suppressive effect of low dose RV was not associated with any significant changes in the expression of cleaved PARP and activated caspase-3, suggesting that low dose RV treatment may suppress tumor cell growth via an apoptosis-independent mechanism. Subsequent studies reveal that low dose RV treatment induces a significant increase in senescence-associated β–galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining and elevated expression of p53 and p21 in NSCLC cells. Furthermore, we show that RV-induced suppression of lung cancer cell growth is associated with a decrease in the expression of EF1A. These results suggest that RV may exert its anticancer and chemopreventive effects through the induction of premature senescence. Mechanistically, RV-induced premature senescence correlates with increased DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in lung cancer cells. Inhibition of ROS production by N-acetylcysteine (NAC) attenuates RV-induced DNA DSBs and premature senescence. Furthermore, we show that RV treatment markedly induces NAPDH oxidase-5 (Nox5) expression in both A549 and H460 cells, suggesting that RV may increase ROS generation in lung cancer cells through upregulating Nox5 expression. Together, these findings demonstrate that low dose RV treatment inhibits lung cancer cell growth via a previously unappreciated mechanism, namely the induction of premature senescence through ROS-mediated DNA damage.  相似文献

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is frequently associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinomas and non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphomas. Previously, we reported that HCV infection causes cellular DNA damage and mutations, which are mediated by nitric oxide (NO). NO often damages mitochondria, leading to induction of double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) and accumulation of oxidative DNA damage. Here we report that HCV infection causes production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lowering of mitochondrial transmembrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)) in in vitro HCV-infected cell cultures. The changes in membrane potential could be inhibited by BCL-2. Furthermore, an inhibitor of ROS production, antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), or an inhibitor of NO, 1,400W, prevented the alterations of DeltaPsi(m). The HCV-induced DSB was also abolished by a combination of NO and ROS inhibitors. These results indicated that the mitochondrial damage and DSBs in HCV-infected cells were mediated by both NO and ROS. Among the HCV proteins, core, E1, and NS3 are potent ROS inducers: their expression led to DNA damage and activation of STAT3. Correspondingly, core-protein-transgenic mice showed elevated levels of lipid peroxidation and oxidatively damaged DNA. These HCV studies thus identified ROS, along with the previously identified NO, as the primary inducers of DSBs and mitochondrial damage in HCV-infected cells.  相似文献

We investigated the ability of camptothecin to potentiate cell killing by low-dose-rate irradiation and whether this potentiation was associated with an increase in the level of residual DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Human melanoma (Sk-Mel-3) cells, grown to the confluent phase, were treated with low-dose-rate radiation (0.88 cGy/min) alone, camptothecin alone, or concurrent camptothecin and low-dose-rate radiation. Cell survival was determined using a clonogenic assay. The interactions between camptothecin and low-dose-rate radiation were analyzed further using isobolograms. DNA DSBs were determined using the neutral comet assay. We found that 10 and 25 microM camptothecin, but not 1 microM, camptothecin potentiated cell killing significantly relative to that seen with low-dose-rate radiation alone. Unexpectedly, the potentiation of the effects of low-dose-rate radiation by camptothecin was accompanied by large increases in the alpha parameter of the linear-quadratic fit rather than in the beta parameter. This suggests a modification of intrinsic radiosensitivity rather than of repair of sublethal damage. From isobologram analysis, low-dose-rate radiation interacted either additively or supra-additively with 25 or 10 microM camptothecin. Conversely, the interaction of low-dose-rate radiation with 1 microM camptothecin was subadditive. Finally, there were strong correlations (correlation coefficients >0.9) between surviving fraction and either comet tail length or comet tail moment after concurrent treatment with 25 microM camptothecin and low-dose-rate radiation. This suggests that the level of residual DNA DSBs was a good indicator of cell killing after treatment with low-dose-rate radiation plus 25 microM camptothecin.  相似文献

New treatment modalities for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are urgently needed. Proton therapy is considered one of the most effective forms of radiation therapy for GBM. DNA alkylating agents such as temozolomide (TMZ) are known to increase the radiosensitivity of GBM to photon radiation. TMZ is a fairly impotent agent, while duocarmycin SA (DSA) is an extremely potent cytotoxic agent capable of inducing a sequence-selective alkylation of duplex DNA. Here, the effects of sub-nM concentrations of DSA on the radiosensitivity of a human GBM cell line (U-138) to proton irradiation were examined. Radiation sensitivity was determined by viability, apoptosis, necrosis and clonogenic assays. DSA concentrations as low as 0.001?nM significantly sensitized U-138 cells to proton irradiation. DSA demonstrates synergistic cytotoxicity against GBM cells treated with proton radiation in vitro, which may represent a novel therapeutic alternative for the treatment of GBM.  相似文献

A study was made of the combined effect of ionizing radiation and various concentrations of glutaric aldehyde (0.00125, 0.0025, 0.5, and 1 per cent) on viability of bacteria differing in a cell wall structure, radiosensitivity, and activity of DNA repair system. The combined effect of the two factors was shown to produce an effect of superadditive enhancement of bacterial cell death. The synergism was more pronounced in highly radiosensitive bacteria.  相似文献

The DNA damage response (DDR) cascade and ROS (reactive oxygen species) signaling are both involved in the induction of cell death after DNA damage, but a mechanistic link between these two pathways has not been clearly elucidated. This study demonstrates that ROS induction after treatment of cells with neocarzinostatin (NCS), an ionizing radiation mimetic, is at least partly mediated by increasing histone H2AX. Increased levels of ROS and cell death induced by H2AX overexpression alone or DNA damage leading to H2AX accumulation are reduced by treating cells with the antioxidant N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC), the NADP(H) oxidase (Nox) inhibitor DPI, expression of Rac1N17, and knockdown of Nox1, but not Nox4, indicating that induction of ROS by H2AX is mediated through Nox1 and Rac1 GTPase. H2AX increases Nox1 activity partly by reducing the interaction between a Nox1 activator NOXA1 and its inhibitor 14-3-3zeta. These results point to a novel role of histone H2AX that regulates Nox1-mediated ROS generation after DNA damage.  相似文献

Salt stress- and salicylic acid (SA)-induced cell death can be activated by various signaling pathways including ethylene (ET) signaling in intact tomato plants. In tomato suspension cultures, a treatment with 250 mM NaCl increased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), and ET. The 10?3 M SA-induced cell death was also accompanied by ROS and NO production, but ET emanation, the most characteristic difference between the two cell death programs, did not change. ET synthesis was enhanced by addition of ET precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, which, after 2 h, increased the ROS production in the case of both stressors and accelerated cell death under salt stress. However, it did not change the viability and NO levels in SA-treated samples. The effect of ET induced by salt stress could be blocked with silver thiosulfate (STS), an inhibitor of ET action. STS reduced the death of cells which is in accordance with the decrease in ROS production of cells exposed to high salinity. Unexpectedly, application of STS together with SA resulted in increasing ROS and reduced NO accumulation which led to a faster cell death. NaCl- and SA-induced cell death was blocked by Ca2+ chelator EGTA and calmodulin inhibitor W-7, or with the inhibitors of ROS. The inhibitor of MAPKs, PD98059, and the cysteine protease inhibitor E-64 reduced cell death in both cases. These results show that NaCl induces cell death mainly by ET-induced ROS production, but ROS generated by SA was not controlled by ET in tomato cell suspension.  相似文献

Human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC) were exposed to ionizing radiation at doses ranging from 0 to 16 Gy in either the presence or absence of the active thiol forms of amifostine (WR1065), phosphonol (WR255591), N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), captopril or mesna. Each of these clinically relevant thiols, administered to HMEC at a dose of 4 mM for 30 min prior to irradiation, is known to exhibit antioxidant properties. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the relationship(s), if any, between the frequency of radiation-induced histone H2AX phosphorylation at serine 139 (gamma-H2AX) in cells and subsequent survival, as assessed by colony-forming ability, in exposed cell populations as a function of the presence or absence of each of the five thiol compounds during irradiation. gamma-H2AX formation in irradiated cells, as a function of relative DNA content, was quantified by bivariant flow cytometry analysis with FITC-conjugated gamma-H2AX antibody and nuclear DAPI staining. gamma-H2AX formation in cells was measured as the relative fold increase as a function of the treatment conditions. The frequency of gamma-H2AX-positive cells increased with increasing dose of radiation followed by a dose- and time-dependent decay. The most robust response for gamma-H2AX formation occurred 1 h after irradiation with their relative frequencies decreasing as a function of time 4 and 24 h later. To assess the effects of the various thiols on gamma-H2AX formation, all measurements were made 1 h after irradiation. WR1065 was not only effective in protecting HMEC against gamma-H2AX formation across the entire dose range of radiation exposures used, but it was also significantly more cytoprotective than either its prodrug (WR2721) or disulfide (WR33278) analogue. WR1065 had no significant effect on gamma-H2AX formation when administered immediately or up to 30 min after radiation exposure. An inhibitory effect against gamma-H2AX formation induced by 8 Gy of radiation was expressed by each of the thiols tested. NAC, captopril and mesna were equally effective in reducing the frequency of gamma-H2AX formation, with both WR1065 and WR255591 exhibiting a slightly more robust protective effect. Each of the five thiols was effective in reducing the frequency of gamma-H2AX-positive cells across all phases of the cell cycle. In contrast to the relative ability of each of these thiols to inhibit gamma-H2AX formation after irradiation, NAC, captopril and mesna afforded no protection to HMEC as determined using a colony-forming survival assay. Only WR1065 and WR255591 were effective in reducing the frequencies of radiation-induced gamma-H2AX-positive cells as well as protecting against cell death. These results suggest that the use of gamma-H2AX as a biomarker for screening the efficacy of novel antioxidant radioprotective compounds is highly problematic since their formation and disappearance may be linked to processes beyond simply the formation and repair of radiation-induced DSBs.  相似文献
