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. Therefore, in the present study we evaluated global gene expression 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 was harvested from mouse Lewis lung carcinoma cells 4h after treatment of single (2 Gy or 10 Gy) or fractionated (5x2 Gy) ionizing radiation dose.

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 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: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.
