Project description:au09-03_gamma-irradiation - 2 doses of ionising radiations (x-rays) - Metabolic pathways involved in the response of plants to ionising radiation treatment. - Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) seeds were grown in Petri dishes under sterile conditions until they had 2-rosette-leaves (on average 10 days). Then they received a dose of 10 or 40 gray of X-ray (Faxitron HP). Plant were harvested 2 and 26 hours after irradiation, immediatly frozen and stored at -80°C until RNA extraction (Rneasy plant mini Kit, Qiagen) . Experiment was carried in duplicates and a non irradiated control was done for each time.

Project description:Most studies have analysed the effects of high dose radiation such as atomic bomb survivors in Japan, people exposed during the Chernobyl nuclear accident, patients undergoing radiation therapy, uranium miners, etc. However, it has been difficult to measure and assess the risk of cancer in people exposed to lower doses of ionising radiation, such as the people living at high altitudes, who are exposed to more natural background radiation from cosmic rays than people at sea level. We measured the genomic response to X-ray ionising radiation (10 cGy and 100 cGy) in a skin tissue model to compare the effects of low and high dose ionising radiation at different time points. The microarray data was then analysed using state-of-the art “upside-down pyramid” computational systems biology methods to identify genes contributing to the difference in the response to the different radiation doses.

The microarray data was then analysed using state-of-the art “upside-down pyramid” computational systems biology methods to identify genes contributing to the difference in the response to the different radiation doses. The model is reconstructed skin tissue, which is composed of keratinocytes that make up the epidermal layer, and fibroblasts that make up the dermal layer of the skin. Tissues were irradiated with 0, 10, and 100 cGy X-ray radiation. Skin plugs were harvested at 0, 3, 8, and 24 hours post irradiation.

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.
