Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the dose and time effects of X-ray radiation on the expression of Pokemon gene and protein in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549.MethodsA549 cells was exposed to different doses of X-ray (2,4,6 and 8 Gy),and the expression of Pokemon mRNA and protein of the cells was detected by using Quantitative real-time PCR and western-blotting at 2,4,8,12,24,and 48 h after irradiation. 3-( 4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl )-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromidewasused to detectthe proliferation of A549 cells at 1,2,3,4,and 5 d after 2 Gy X-ray irradiation.The mock treated A549 cells were used as the control.ResultsThe expression of Pokemon mRNA trended to decrease after irradiated with 4,6 and 8 Gy in the earlier period and increased in the later period with statistical difference at the most time points (t =3.40 -154.76,P =0.000 -0.041 ).The expression of Pokemon protein trended to increase and reached the peak at 8 h after irradiated of 2,4,6 and 8 Gy with statistical difference at the most time points ( t =4.18 - 89.64,P =0.000 - 0.039).Compared with the control,the proliferation of A549 cells was significantly inhibited during 3 to 5 d after irradiation of 2 Gy ( t =2.34 - 18.19,P =0.000 -0.040).ConclusionsX-ray irradiation may increase the expression of Pokemon mRNA and protein in A549 cells,which might be correlated with radiation-resistance of A549 cells.
