Project description:Gene expression profile of two reporgrammed cell lines iPSC CRL1831 (induced pluripotent stem cells) and CSC DLD1 (cancer stem-like cells) derived from normal colon CRL1831 and colorectal cancer DLD-1 cells, after transfer to 3D cell culture conditions and cell lines treated with single or fractionated ionizing radiation doses under 3D cell culture conditions. There are no data that cancer metastases arise due to specific mutations of cancer cells. Therefore ongoing investigation of reprogrammed cancer cells grown in three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models might provide researchers with essential data studying tumor oncogenesis and metastases formation. 3D culture models were shown to mimic in vivo cell microenvironment more accurately than the standard two-dimensional cell monolayer (2D) cultures. Also, growing evidence suggests that 2D and 3D cultured cells gene expression pattern variance following irradiation is highly dependent on cancer cell state and their interaction with microenvironment.
Project description:Radiation-induced DNA damage initiates a complex series of overlapping responses responsible for the maintenance of genome integrity. This study reports the expression analysis in response to DNA minor groove binding ligand (DMA-5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-2-[2’-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5`-benzimidazolyl] benzimidazole, an analogue of Hoechst 33342), with an emphasis on its ability to afford better protection in cells exposed to ionizing radiation. Four different types of samples were employed in the analysis: Control (untreated) cells, 50µM ligand-treated cells, 2Gy radiation-treated cells, and cells treated with 50µM ligand one hour prior to 2Gy irradiation.
Project description:B16-BL6 mouse melanoma that had been maintained in C57BL/6J mice were used to evaluate the 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and radiation dose effects on radiotherapy. Mice were divided into 6 groups after implantation of B16-BL6 cells; (1) no treatment (NT) ; (2) 5-ALA treatment (ALAT); (3) 10 session of fractionated irradiation (2Gy/day) (20XT); (4) 10 sessions of 5-ALA treatment followed by fractionated irradiation (2Gy/day) (ALA-20XT); (5) 10 session of fractionated irradiation (3Gy/day) (30XT); (6) 10 sessions of 5-ALA treatment followed by fractionated irradiation (3Gy/day) (ALA-30XT).
Project description:While modern radiotherapy technologies can precisely deliver higher doses of radiation to tumors; thus, reducing overall radiation exposure to normal tissues, moderate dose and normal tissue toxicity still remains a significant limitation. The present study profiled the global effects on transcript and miR expression in Human Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells (HCAECs) using single-dose irradiation (SD, 10Gy) or multi-fractionated irradiation (MF, 2Gy x 5) regimens. Longitudinal timepoints were collected after a SD or final dose of MF irradiation for analysis using Agilent Human Gene Expression and miRNA microarray platforms. Compared to SD, the exposure to MF resulted in robust transcript and miR expression changes in terms of the number and magnitude. For data analysis, statistically significant mRNAs (2-fold) and miRs (1.5-fold) were processed by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) to uncover miRs associated with target transcripts from several cellular pathways post-irradiation. Interestingly, MF radiation induced a cohort of mRNAs and miRs that coordinate the induction of immune response pathway under tight regulation. Additionally, mRNAs and miRs associated with DNA replication, recombination and repair, apoptosis, cardiovascular events and angiogenesis were revealed. Human Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells (HCAECs) were irradiated in a PANTAK high frequency X-ray generator (Precision X-ray Inc., N. Bedford, CT), operated at 300kV and 10MA. The dose rate was 1.6 Gy per min. Cells were plated into T75cm2 flasks (1-1.5 x 10^6 for single dose radiation and 0.6-0.8 x 10^6 for fractionated radiation). After 24h, cells were exposed to a total of 10 Gy radiation administered either as a single-dose radiation (SD), or as multi-fractionated radiation of 2 Gy x 5 (MF). These non-isoeffective doses were selected to simulate clinical hypofractionated and conventionally fractionated radiotherapy regimens. For the MF protocol, cells were exposed to 2 Gy radiation twice a day, at 6h interval. The cells were approximately 90% confluent at the time of harvesting. For both protocols, radiation-induced changes were analyzed at 6h and 24h after a SD and 6h and 24h after the final dose of fractionated irradiation. Separate controls were maintained for SD and MF radiation protocols.
