cellular response to ionizing radiation: a microrna story
Authors
abstract
micrornas (mirnas) represent a class of small non-coding rna molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. they play a crucial role in diverse cellular pathways. ionizing radiation (ir) is one of the most important treatment protocols for patients that suffer from cancer and affects directly or indirectly cellular integration. recently it has been discovered that microrna-mediated gene regulation interferes with radio-related pathways in ionizing radiation. here, we review the recent discoveries about mirnas in cellular response to ir. thoroughly understanding the mechanism of mirnas in radiation response, it will be possible to design new strategies for improving radiotherapy efficiency and ultimately cancer treatment.

full textCellular Autofluorescence following Ionizing Radiation
Cells often autofluoresce in response to UV radiation excitation and this can reflect critical aspects of cellular metabolism. Here we report that many different human and murine cell types respond to ionizing radiation with a striking rise in autofluorescence that is dependent on dose and time. There was a highly reproducible fluorescent shift at various wavelengths, which was mirrored by an e...
full textResponse of Cells to Ionizing Radiation
Ionizing radiation is encountered in our natural environment and is also generated and used by mankind, e.g., for medical uses. A better understanding of the biological effects of ionizing radiation will lead to better use of and better protection from radiation. In this chapter, the response of cells to radiation will be described and discussed. Some basic concepts of ionizing radiation will b...
full textMetabolic Phenotyping Reveals a Lipid Mediator Response to Ionizing Radiation
Exposure to ionizing radiation has dramatically increased in modern society, raising serious health concerns. The molecular response to ionizing radiation, however, is still not completely understood. Here, we screened mouse serum for metabolic alterations following an acute exposure to γ radiation using a multiplatform mass-spectrometry-based strategy. A global, molecular profiling revealed th...
full textCellular Pathways in Response to Ionizing Radiation and Their Targetability for Tumor Radiosensitization
During the last few decades, improvements in the planning and application of radiotherapy in combination with surgery and chemotherapy resulted in increased survival rates of tumor patients. However, the success of radiotherapy is impaired by two reasons: firstly, the radioresistance of tumor cells and, secondly, the radiation-induced damage of normal tissue cells located in the field of ionizi...
