γH2AX Foci Form Preferentially in Euchromatin after Ionising-Radiation
BACKGROUND The histone variant histone H2A.X comprises up to 25% of the H2A complement in mammalian cells. It is rapidly phosphorylated following exposure of cells to double-strand break (DSB) inducing agents such as ionising radiation. Within minutes of DSB generation, H2AX molecules are phosphorylated in large chromatin domains flanking DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs); these domains can be ob...

متن کاملTranslocation Breakpoints Preferentially Occur in Euchromatin and Acrocentric Chromosomes
Chromosomal translocations drive the development of many hematological and some solid cancers. Several factors have been identified to explain the non-random occurrence of translocation breakpoints in the genome. These include chromatin density, gene density and CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF)/cohesin binding site density. However, such factors are at least partially interdependent. Using 13,844 an...
متن کاملNitric oxide production by macrophages after exposure to ionising radiation
Macrophages are potent elicitors of inflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide (NO). As such, they have been associated with side effects of therapeutic irradiation including pneumonitis and skin fibrosis. While several studies have addressed the effects of X-rays or gamma rays on macrophages, virtually no work has been carried out to date concerning the effects of heavy ion radiation on these cel...
متن کاملPhagocytotic activity of macrophages after exposure to ionising radiation
Apoptotic cell death is a common feature after exposure to ionising radiation in vivo and in vitro. Macrophages are responsible for the phagocytotic clearance of the apoptotic cells and it was shown that phagocytosis of radiation-induced apoptotic cells can activate macrophages, leading them to the induction of an inflammatory response in the surrounding tissue by releasing cytokines [1,2]. Thi...
