Project description:Lymphocytes are the standard cell of a majority of biodosimetry approaches because of their availability and radiosensitivity. But progresses remain to be performed to bring down the minimum threshold of dose sensitivity. To find a lymphocyte subtype able to respond to low doses of ionizing radiation, we examined gene expression variations in different lymphocyte subpopulations using the microarray technology. Blood samples were independently exposed to 0, 0.05 and 0.5 Gray of ionizing radiations. Three and 24 hours after exposure, CD56+, CD4+ and CD8+ cells were negatively isolated. RNA from each condition was competitively hybridized on oligonucleotide microarrays. Keywords: Dose response, stress response, cell type comparison We characterized genes whose expression level was affected following exposure to γ rays by carrying out genome-wide expression profiling on each lymphocyte subpopulation. Total blood samples were collected from 5 healthy male donors. Each sample was splitted into three parts which were exposed respectively to 0 Gy (sham-irradiated), 0.05 Gy and 0.5 Gy of ionizing radiations. Lymphocytes subpopulations were sorted 3 and 24 hours after irradiation. RNA was prepared from each cell type and amplified. The amino-allyl amplified RNAs were labeled and independently hybridized to the array. RNA from MNC obtained from 20 independent healthy donors constituted the reference group for competitive oligonucleotide microarray hybridization. According to our criteria of quality, we considered a total of 114 microarrays

Project description:Ionizing radiations are categorized by linear energy transfer (LET) into low-LET and high-LET. High-LET is considered to have a higher relative biological effectiveness (RBE) than low-LET radiations. However, the details of the effects have not been clearly determined. The aim of this study was to characterize the difference between high-LET and low LET radiations. The global effects of the three types of high-LET radiations (fast neutron, heavy ion (C) and thermal neutron) were compared with the low-LET radiation (gamma ray) using yeast DNA microarrays. Highly induced genes by the three types of high-LET radiations were those genes related to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress was one of the common factors associated with the four types of radiations. Oxidative stress induced by high-LET radiations may be more serious than that induced by gamma rays. Additionally, genes related to protein synthesis and the ubiquitin and proteasome system were detected. This suggests that more protein damages can be induced by high-LET radiation that denatures the proteins in yeast cells. The genes specifically altered by each type of high-LET radiation were also studied. Keywords: stress response

Project description:Plant cultivation on spacecraft or planetary outposts is a promising and actual perspective both for food and bioactive molecules production. To this aim, plants response to ionizing radiations, as an important component of space radiation, must be assessed through on-ground experiments due to the potentially fatal effects on living systems. Hereby we investigated the effects of X-rays and -rays exposure on tomato ‘hairy root’ cultures (HRCs), which represent a solid platform for the production of pharmaceutically relevant molecules, including metabolites and recombinant proteins. In a space application perspective, we used a HRC system previously fortified through the accumulation of anthocyanins, which are known for their anti-oxidant properties. Roots were independently exposed to different photon radiations, namely X-rays (250 kV) and -rays (Co60, 1.25 MeV), both at the intensity of 0.5, 5 and 10 Gy. Molecular changes induced in the proteome of HRCs were investigated by a comparative approach based on Two-Dimensional Difference In-Gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) technology and mass spectrometry.

Project description:The growing number of particle treatment facilities worldwide and patients treated with particles instead of X-rays marks the upcoming rearrangement of modern radiotherapy. Especially for tumors being difficult to access and for tumors that are resistant to conventional X-ray treatment particle radiotherapy is a beneficial technology. At the Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center (HIT) patients are treated with this technology since 2009 as it offers clear benefits. Contrary to X-rays, which show an exponential dose decrease (after reaching electron equilibrium) with increasing tissue depth, charged particles deposit most of their energy to a small region within the tissue with a sharp dose fall-off after the so-called Bragg peak. This precise dose localization enables further dose escalation within the tumor while sparing healthy tissue. Besides physical advantages, particle radiotherapy offers additional biological advantages. In radiobiology, the term relative-biological effectiveness (RBE) is defined as the ratio of X-rays dose to an alternative irradiation modality dose which produce the same biological effect (e.g. survival or number of DSBs). While protons have a relative biological effectiveness (RBE) comparable to X-rays, carbon ions are more effective in inducing DNA damage(1, 2) and are therefore especially useful for radioresistant tumors. This is due to the fact, that carbon ions induce clustered and direct DNA damage, which is considered to be less dependent on cell cycle stage, oxygen level, genetic background and hinders DNA repair mechanisms(3–6). Nevertheless, their exact mode of action and cellular mechanisms are largely unknown. We show the first comprehensive proteomic and phosphoproteomic study elucidating the cellular response to treatment with protons, carbon ions and X-rays. We found that 2h after treatment with these radiations negligible regulation occurred at protein expression level. But 181 phosphorylation sites were deregulated by ionizing radiation contributing mainly to DNA damage response functionalities. Interestingly we found 55 phosphorylation sites being differentially regulated between the radiations. Here, we observed protons and carbon ions producing equal cellular response whereas X-rays show altered regulation for certain phosphorylation sites. A subset of 28 phosphorylation sites being involved in the DNA damage response or differentially regulated between the ionizing radiations was selected for result confirmation.

Project description:The search for biomarkers to predict radiosensitivity is important not only to individualize radiotherapy of cancer patients but also to forecast radiation exposure risks. The aim of this study was to devise a machine learning method to stratify radiosensitivity and to investigate its association with copy number variations (CNVs) as markers of sensitivity to ionizing radiation. We used the Affymetrix CytoScan HD microarrays to for CNV estimation. Celluar radiosensitivity was measured by the clonogenic surviving fraction at 2 Gy (SF2).

Project description:Although it is well established that 5 to 15% of radiotherapy patients exhibit severe side-effects in healthy tissue, the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved are still poorly known, and the link between cellular and tissue radiosensitivity is still debated. We here studied fibroblasts from normal skin of patients with severe sequels of radiotherapy in order to examine if specific basal cell activities might be involved in susceptibility to side-effects. When compared to control cells, patient fibroblasts exhibited higher radiosensitivity and defects in DNA double strand breaks (DSB) repair and 8-oxoGuanines, abasic sites and glycol damaged base repair. Transcriptome profiling of dermal fibroblast cell strains from 16 radiotherapy patients with severe side-effects and 8 healthy individuals identified 540 genes specifically deregulated in the patients. Nuclear factor of activated T cells 2 (NFATC2) was one of the most differentially expressed genes. This transcription factor involved in immune responses was found poorly expressed at transcript and protein level in patient cells, whereas the NFATC2 gene region was hypermethylated. Furthermore, NFATC2 expression correlated to the cell survival after irradiation. Finally, we observed that the silencing of NFATC2 in normal cells by RNA interference leads to increased cellular radiosensivity and defects in DNA DSB repair. This study demonstrates that patients with clinical hypersensitivity also exhibit intrinsic cellular radiosensitivity in normal skin cells. It further reveals a new role for NFATC2 as a potential regulator of the cellular sensitivity to ionizing radiations.

Project description:Chronic exposure to sunlight is linked to premature aging (photoaging) and UV radiations is implicated to be the main contributor of this phenomenon. It causes changes to dermal collgen through two major pathways; promotion of collagen breakdown and lost of collagen content via the inhibition of collagen biosynthesis. The absorption of UV radiations by skin molecules generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) which lead to oxidative damage of cellular components such as cell walls, lipid membranes, mitochondria and DNA. Therefore, this research involve the identification of key genes in biological processes through high throughput RNA Sequencing technology to identify genes and pathways underlying skin aging health and diseases due to UV exposure, ultimately leading to novel ways of managing, diagnose, treat and prevent/slow down skin aging illnesses/wrinkles.The results from this study produces huge amount of differential expressed genes (DEG) as a result of UV exposure which were subsquently validated with qPCR.
