Project description:Radiotherapy is one of the most common therapies for cancer. Approximately half of all cancer patients will receive radiotherapy at some point during treatment. Consequences of IR treatment are dose dependent and different sensitivity to IR of various types of cells is well established. To reduce the damage of IR to most sensitive cells of normal (noncancerous) tissue radiotherapy is administered as fractionated dose treatment applying radiation in ~2 Gy fractions every 24 hours, 5 times per week. However, during the therapy intrinsic and acquired tumor radioresistance may result in treatment failures. Comprehensive mechanisms of the resistance to irradiation as well as mechanisms of cellular response to fractionated dose IR remain unclear. Different gene expression patterns may be partially influenced by short ~22 nt non-coding RNA molecules called microRNAs (miRNAs) via translational regulation or RNA degradation mechanisms. Therefore, in the present study we evaluated global miRNA changes in murine Lewis lung carcinoma LLC1 cells following X-ray irradiation of single 2 Gy or 10 Gy and 2 Gy x 5 fractionated doses. Total RNA enriched in small noncoding RNAs was isolated from mouse Lewis lung carcinoma cells 4h after treatment of single (2 Gy or 10 Gy) or fractionated (5x2 Gy) ionizing radiation dose.

Project description:To explore the mechanisms underlying the radioresistance of hypopharyngeal carcinoma, we first established specifically radioresistant FaDu cell line (FaDu-RR cells) derived from FaDu cell lines by repeatedly exposing to different doses of ionizing radiation. Then, the aberrantly expressed mRNAs and IncRNAs were detected using microarrays and their bioinformatics were analyzed.
Project description:To seek if ionizing radiation have different biological effect on lung normal cells and cancer cells, we treated lung epithelial cell line BEAS-2B, non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549 and small cell lung cancer cell line H446 with 10 Gy X-ray radiation
Project description:Purpose: To study the alteration of whole transcriptome of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells after the decreasing of malignant properties of tumor by treatment of tumor-bearing mice with RNase A. Methods: Whole transcriptome profile of Lewis lung carcinoma before and after RNase A treatment were generated by deep sequencing using SOLiD 5.5. The sequence reads were mapped by Bioscope 1.3 software, differential expression was evaluated by Cufflinks v.2.0.1 package. Results: Difference in expression was found for 966 genes. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of alteration of transcriptome of Lewis lung carcinoma after the decrease of malignant prtoperties of the tumor (proliferation and invasion) by RNase A. Whole transcriptome profile of Lewis lung carcinoma before and after RNase A treatment were generated by deep sequencing using SOLiD 5.5.
Project description:New developments show that patients with prostate cancer can benefit from radiotherapy deliv-ered with a hypo-fractionated regimen. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of hy-po-fractionated stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of prostate cancer on out-of-field organs. We used a humanoid phantom to irradiate prostate cells in conditions similar to patient therapy, using SBRT planning. Our results show that radiation doses in the location of the intes-tine and lung resulted in significantly higher radiation doses than the further locations. We observed a high radiotoxic effect in the cells irradiated in the prostate, and a small increase in DNA damage and cell killing in the intestine location. Gene expression analysis revealed significant enrichment of the biological processes related to the radiation response in the prostate. In the lung and thyroid, the enrichment of several gene groups was revealed, however the processes were not clearly related to the response to radiation. Our study provides extensive data on out-of-field safety of prostate SBRT.
