The use of N-t-butyl hydroxylamine for radioprotection in cultured cells and mice.
Exposure of cells to ionizing radiation leads to formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are associated with radiation-induced cytotoxicity. Therefore, compounds that scavenge ROS may confer radioprotective effects. Recently, it has been shown that the decomposition product of the spin-trapping agent alpha-phenyl-N-t-butylnitrone (PBN), N-t-butyl hydroxylamine (NtBHA), mimics PBN and is...
متن کاملRadiation-induced Non-targeted Effect and Carcinogenesis; Implications in Clinical Radiotherapy
Bystander or non-targeted effect is known to be an interesting phenomenon in radiobiology. The genetic consequences of bystander effect on non-irradiated cells have shown that this phenomenon can be considered as one of the most important factors involved in secondary cancer after exposure to ionizing radiation. Every year, millions of people around the world undergo radiotherapy in order to cu...
متن کاملUV-radiation, apoptosis and skin.
Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a key function in regulating skin development, homeostasis and tumorigenesis. The epidermis is exposed to various external stimuli and one of the most important is UV radiation. The UVA and UVB spectra differ in their biological effects and in their depth of penetration through the skin layers. UVB rays are absorbed directly by DNA which results in its dama...
متن کاملRole of Flavonoids in DNA Damage and Carcinogenesis Prevention
High level of ionizing radiation and various other mutagenic agents can damage DNA and induce carcinogenesis which may be transferred to offspring’s. Flavonoids are major antioxidant compounds obtained from plants and form a significant proportion of most diets. In this review, we have summarized the present understanding of the roles of various flavonoids as preventive approaches against DNA d...
متن کاملEffects of X-irradiation on mitochondrial DNA damage and its supercoiling formation change.
There have been a small number of reports of radiation-induced mtDNA damage, and mtDNA supercoiling formation change induced by ionizing radiation has not been investigated before. This study evaluated mtDNA damage and supercoiling formation change after X-irradiation. The human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7 cells were used for analysis. Modified supercoiling-sensitive real-time PCR approach w...
