چکیده

Cellular response to ionizing radiation-induced damage depends on the cell type and the ability to repair DNA damage. Some types of cells undergo apoptosis, whereas others induce a permanent cell cycle arrest and do not proliferate. Our study demonstrates two types of response of embryonic diploid fibroblasts WI-38 to ionizing radiation. In the WI-38 cells p53 is activated, protein p21 increases, but the cells are arrested in G2 phase of cell cycle. Some of the cells die by apoptosis, but in remaining viable cells p16 increases, senescence associated DNA-damage foci occur, and senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity increases, which indicate stress-induced premature senescence.

SUV39H1 downregulation induces deheterochromatinization of satellite regions and senescence after exposure to ionizing radiation

While the majority of cancer patients are exposed to ionizing radiation during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, age-dependent differences in radiation sensitivity are not yet well understood. Radiation sensitivity is characterized by the appearance of side effects to radiation therapy, such as secondary malignancies, developmental deficits, and compromised immune function. However, the kn...

Ionizing radiation response of primary normal human lens epithelial cells

Whilst the cataractogenic potential of ionizing radiation has been known for over the past 120 years, little is known about radiation responses of lens cells. Our previous work was the first to evaluate the radiosensitivity of lens cells with the clonogenic assay, documenting that the survival of HLEC1 human lens epithelial cells is comparable to that of WI-38 human lung fibroblasts. Moreover, ...

Stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS)--influence of SIPS on radiotherapy.

Replicative senescence is a fundamental feature in normal human diploid cells and results from dysfunctional telomeres at the Hayflick cell division limit. Ionizing radiation (IR) prematurely induces the same phenotypes as replicative senescence prior to the Hayflick limit. This process is known as stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS). Since the cell cycle is irreversibly arrested in SIPS...

Effects of human Na(+)/dicarboxylate cotransporter 3 on the replicative senescence of human embryonic lung diploid fibroblasts.

To investigate the role of human Na(+)/dicarboxylate cotransporter 3 (hNaDC3) in the replicative senescence of normal human embryonic lung diploid fibroblasts (WI-38), a retroviral vector containing hNaDC3 was constructed. hNaDC3 was introduced into normal WI-38 cells through infection with the retroviral virus. Monoclones were selected with G418. The integration and expression of exotic genes ...

Senoptosis: non-lethal DNA cleavage as a route to deep senescence

DNA-damage-induced apoptosis and cellular senescence are perceived as two distinct cell fates. We found that after ionizing radiation (IR)-induced DNA damage the majority (up to 70 %) of senescent human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs) were subjected to controlled cleavage of DNA, resulting in the establishment of a viable and stable sub-G1 population, i.e. deeply senescent cells. We show that in sen...
