研究了辐射诱发的人外周血淋巴细胞凋亡生成,以及水溶性维生素E类似物-Trolox对辐射诱导人外周血淋巴细胞凋亡的抑制作用。照后30分钟内Trolox能有效地阻抑DNA片段形成,而在照前或受照中加入Trolox均不能抑制DNA片段形成,揭示Trolox并不是通过清除照射过程中产生的自由基而起作用。照后30分钟内加Trolox,2小时后撤去,同样能抑制DNA片段形成,表明Trolox能不可逆地阻抑细胞凋亡早期的"关键"事件。 相似文献

The role of cellular membranes in thymocyte apoptosis has been examined. Trolox, a water soluble analogue of vitamin E and inhibitor of membrane damage, inhibits DNA fragmentative in thymocytes exposed to γ-radiation. Trolox is most effective in inhibiting DNA fragmentation when added to cells within 30 min post-irradiation. Exposure to trolox only during irradiation did not prevent DNA fragmentation, suggesting that it does not work by scavenging free radicals generated during radiation exposure. Incubation of the irradiated cell suspension with trolox for 2 h post-irradiation was sufficient to prevent DNA fragmentation measured at 24 h in irradiated cells. This suggests that trolox irreversibly inhibits a cellular lesion required for apoptosis. The induction of DNA fragmentation appears to be related to a concurrent, pronounced flow of Ca2+ into the cell. At 3 h post-irradiation the amount of Ca2+ in irradiated thymocytes was more than twice that of unirradiated thymocytes. Membrane damage has been shown to affect the transport of Ca2+. Trolox treatment completely blocked the radiation-induced influx of Ca2+ into the thymocytes. These results suggest that membrane damage is a critical lesion that is involved in DNA fragmentation in thymocyte apoptosis. 相似文献

Thymus-derived lymphocytes undergo death after gamma-irradiation via a pathway termed apoptosis, or programmed cell death. An early step in this pathway is the production of nucleosome-sized fragments of DNA. DNA fragmentation was used as the endpoint in these investigations to examine apoptosis in lymphocytes extracted from the rat thymus and irradiated in vitro. In unirradiated thymocytes the level of DNA fragmentation rose to 15% by the first hour of culture, where it remained approximately constant until the fifth hour. In contrast, thymocytes irradiated with a dose of 2.5 Gy exhibited a large and dramatic increase in DNA fragmentation beginning 2 h postirradiation. DNA fragmentation measured 6 h after irradiation was detected after as little as 0.25 Gy and reached a maximum of 90% with 10 Gy. Metabolic control of DNA fragmentation after irradiation was evidenced by the suppression of DNA fragmentation when thymocytes were incubated with cyclohexamide or actinomycin D. When gamma-irradiated thymocytes were incubated with the Ca2+ chelator EGTA, DNA fragmentation was reduced significantly. BAPTA-AM, a highly specific intracellular Ca2+ chelator, essentially eliminated DNA fragmentation in cells irradiated with 2.5 Gy and, unlike EGTA, eliminated the background level of fragmentation in unirradiated samples. Therefore, our data are consistent with the possibility that Ca2+ serves as a second messenger to induce DNA fragmentation in irradiated thymocytes, suggesting a common pathway for cells prompted to enter apoptosis from seemingly dissimilar interval events. 相似文献

The role of protein kinase C in radiation-induced death of thymocytes was studied. For this purpose murine thymocytes were irradiated and incubated for 6 h at 37 degrees C and afterwards the fraction of fragmented DNA was measured. Results indicate that radiation-induced DNA fragmentation can be prevented by adding the protein kinase C inhibitor H-7 or staurosporine to the thymocytes during incubation time. Incubation of irradiated cells with HA-1004, an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, with a minor effect on protein kinase C did not affect the DNA fragmentation induced by irradiation. Incubation of cells with phorboldibutyrate gave a dose-dependent induction of DNA fragmentation. This effect can be inhibited by staurosporine. These results suggest that radiation-induced DNA fragmentation is an active cellular process in which protein kinase C plays an important role. 相似文献

The decrease in the average DNA size in thymocytes starts soon after in vivo irradiation and at approximately 45 min reaches a plateau, thereafter showing only minor changes up to 3 h. This fall in extent of chromatin cleavage coincides with the accumulation of 1.0-1.5 kb DNA fragments. Double-strand breaks generated by endonucleases are not randomly distributed along DNA but clustered in such a way that they give rise to fragments of 1-5 nucleosomes in size. Cycloheximide treatment partially inhibits nuclease activity in nuclear extracts isolated from thymus of irradiated mice. This suggest that DNA fragmentation is an early event in programmed death of thymocytes mediated by irradiation. The data indicate that it requires protein synthesis and that it precedes release of polydeoxyribonucleotides. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of antioxidant on exercise-induced apoptosis in rat thymocytes. METHODS: After exercise at 13.8 m x min(-1) for 60-90 min x d(-1) on a motor-driven drum exerciser for 2 consecutive days, rat thymocyte apoptosis was monitored by the feature of DNA fragmentation. To study the effect of antioxidant, rats were administered with butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) for 7 d before exercise. RESULTS: Exercise could induce thymocyte DNA fragmentation as detected on electrophoretic gel and by cell death detection ELISA kit. Further studies indicated that pretreatment with antioxidant BHA to rats resulted in a blockage of exercise-induced DNA fragmentation. The concentrations of glutathione (GSH) were not significantly changed in rat thymocytes after exercise with or without BHA treatment. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that reactive oxygen species may play a role in thymocyte apoptosis induced by exercise. However, changes in GSH levels were not observed in this exercise model. 相似文献

We investigated the biological effects of the long-lived radicals induced following neutron irradiation. It has been reported that radiation-induced long-lived radicals were scavenged by post-irradiation treatment of ascorbic acid (Koyama, 1998). We studied the effects of ascorbic acid acting as a long-lived radical scavenger on cell killing and mutagenicity in Chinese hamster ovary cells against thermal neutrons produced at the Kyoto University Research reactor. Ascorbic acid was added to cells 30 min after neutron irradiation and removed 150 min after irradiation. The biological end point of cell survival was measured by colony formation assay. The mutagenicity was measured by the mutant frequency in the HPRT locus. The post-irradiation treatment of ascorbic acid did not alter the cell killing effect of neutron radiation. However, the mutagenicity was decreased, especially when the cells were irradiated with boron. Our results suggested that ascorbic acid scavenged long-lived radicals effectively and caused apparent protective effects against mutagenicity of boron neutron capture therapy. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The relationship between post-irradiation treatment with Trolox, an antioxidant that inhibits lipid peroxidation, and X-ray-induced apoptosis, with regard to signal transduction pathways, was examined in MOLT-4, a human leukaemia cell line. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In MOLT-4 cells treated with Trolox after X-irradiation, viability, DNA fragmentation, expression of p53, BCL-2, BAX, active SAPK/JNK, active caspase-3 and the cleavage of PARP were measured by the trypan blue exclusion test, agarose gel electrophoresis and Western blotting. RESULTS: Stained cells and ladder-like DNA cleavage were observed after X-irradiation. Cell death and DNA fragmentation were significantly inhibited by the post-irradiation treatment with Trolox. The expression of p53 and active SAPK/JNK was increased after X-irradiation, and fragments of PARP and the activated fragment of caspase-3 were produced. Post-irradiation treatment with Trolox attenuated the X-irradiation-induced expression, fragmentation or activation of these apoptosis-related biomolecules. The expression of BCL-2 and BAX, which would occur downstream from p53, was not changed by irradiation and Trolox treatment. Furthermore, cell death was associated with caspase-3 because the ladder-like DNA cleavage was completely inhibited by Ac-DEVD-CHO but not Ac-YVAD-CHO, TLCK and PMSF. CONCLUSION: Post-irradiation events such as membrane damage induce caspase-3-dependent apoptosis, which might be mediated by the activation of SAPK/JNK and be independent of p53. 相似文献

采用荧光分光光度法对裂解DNA进行定量,并用琼脂糖凝胶电泳法定性研究X射线全身照射后小鼠胸腺细胞凋亡。结果表明,4GyX射线照后2小时胸腺细胞凋亡开始增加,于照后14小时达峰值,尔后呈下降趋势。DNA裂解率在照后24小时降至14小时的50%,这可能是内环境中巨噬细胞吞噬凋亡小体所致。在照射后14小时研究其剂量-效应关系发现,高剂量照射使DNA裂解明显增多,形成180bp(basepairs)左右或其整倍数的DNA断片,电泳呈现"梯形图谱";而低剂量辐射可使DNA裂解率降低。剂量-效应曲线呈J型。 相似文献

Agents that induce DNA strand breaks evoke a drop in the NAD content in mouse thymocytes. A decrease in the endogenous NAD content that occurs immediately after gamma-irradiation of thymocytes is entirely attributed to the activation of poly(ADP-ribosylation). The addition of 5 mM benzamide before irradiation prevents the postirradiation drop of the NAD level but has no effect on chromatin degradation and cell death. In contrast to liver nuclei, pre-incubation of mouse thymic nuclei with NAD had no effect on the subsequent chromatin endonucleolysis by Ca2+/Mg2+-dependent endonuclease. It is suggested that the NAD-poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase system is probably not the trigger in the radiation-induced programmed death of mouse thymocytes, but may merely be indicative of the radiation response of these cells. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate selective effects of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on spontaneous and induced apoptosis in freshly extracted mice thymocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cells were exposed to UV radiation with emission peaks of 365 nm (UVA) exposures of 1620-10200 J m(-2), of 312 nm (UVB) exposures of 34-1620 J m(-2) or of 254 nm (UVC) exposures of 1.5-1620 J m(-2), and incubated for 5.5 h with or without hydrocortisone, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate or anti-Fas antibody. Additionally, cells were irradiated with gamma-rays (5 Gy) before UVB exposure (408 J m(-2)) at different times. Apoptosis was quantified by DNA fragmentation. RESULTS: Up to an irradiation of 5000 J m(-2), UVA exposure did not show any effect on thymocyte apoptosis, while at 10200 J m(-2) irradiation, considerable DNA fragmentation was observed. In contrast, UVB and UVC irradiation clearly inhibited natural and cortisone-induced apoptosis. Moreover, UVB inhibited apoptosis triggered by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate and gamma-irradiation, but not by anti-Fas antibody. CONCLUSIONS: The response of mouse thymocytes in culture to UV irradiation strongly depends on the wavelength used. It is suggested that either a survival or an apoptotic pathway occurs depending on the physiological state of the cell, spectral composition of the UV light and cell type. The possible involvement of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase in the apoptotic pathway is discussed. 相似文献

Effects of cycloheximide and actinomycin D on radiation-induced apoptotic cell death in the developing mouse cerebellum. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Effects of cycloheximide and actinomycin D on radiation-induced cell death in the external granular layer (EGL) of the cerebellum were studied in vivo. Newborn mice were exposed to 0.24 Gy gamma-radiation, and dying cells which exhibited pyknosis of nuclei in the EGL were examined at various post-irradiation periods. The number of pyknotic cells began to increase 3 h after irradiation, reached a peak incidence at 6 h, and then gradually fell to the sham-irradiated level by 18 h. When pups were injected with cycloheximide 1 h after irradiation, cell death was suppressed for 6 h, but a peak mortality as high as in the case of radiation alone was attained at 15 h after irradiation. When pups were treated with cycloheximide twice, at 1 and 6 h after irradiation, cell death did not occur for 15 h, but then the incidence rose to a level similar to that after irradiation alone. These findings showed that radiation-induced cell death in the EGL is suppressed by cycloheximide until the chemical is metabolized. Hence, death is by apoptosis which is known to require macromolecular synthesis, and the 'signal' for apoptosis in the cell persists for at least 15 h after irradiation. On the other hand, actinomycin D injected immediately before or after irradiation did not affect the initiation of cell death; actinomycin D alone induced cell death. 相似文献

PURPOSE: This in vitro study aims at evaluating the effect of the combination of pentoxifylline (PTX) and trolox (Tx), the water-soluble analogue of alpha-tocopherol, on the oxidative state and DNA damage in dermal microvascular endothelial cells exposed to doses up to 10 Gy of ionizing radiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Confluent primary cultures of dermal endothelial cells were gamma irradiated at 3 and 10 Gy, and 0.5 mM of both drugs, PTX and Tx, was added either before (15 min) or after (30 min or 24 h) irradiation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), measured by the dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate assay, and DNA damage, assessed by the comet and micronucleus assays, were measured at different times after exposure (0 - 21 days). RESULTS: The PTX/Tx treatment decreased the early and delayed peak of ROS production by a factor of 2.8 in 10 Gy-irradiated cells immediately after irradiation and the basal level by a factor of 2 in non-irradiated control cells. Moreover, the level of DNA strand breaks, as measured by the comet assay, was shown to be reduced by half immediately after irradiation when the PTX/Tx treatment was added 15 min before irradiation. However, unexpectedly, it was decreased to a similar extent when the drugs were added 30 min after radiation exposure. This reduction was accompanied by a 2.2- and 3.6-fold higher yield in the micronuclei (MN) frequency observed on days 10 and 14 post-irradiation, respectively. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that oxidative stress and DNA damage induced in dermal microvascular endothelial cells by radiation can be modulated by early PTX/Tx treatment. These drugs acted not only as radical scavengers, but they were also responsible for the increased MN frequency in 10 Gy-irradiated cells. Thus, these drugs may cause a possible interference with DNA repair processes. 相似文献

Additionally, cells were irradiated with gamma‐rays (5?Gy) before UVB exposure (408?J?m?2) at different times. Apoptosis was quantified by DNA fragmentation.Results: Up to an irradiation of 5000?J?m?2, UVA exposure did not show any effect on thymocyte apoptosis, while at 10?200?J?m?2 irradiation, considerable DNA fragmentation was observed. In contrast, UVB and UVC irradiation clearly inhibited natural and cortisone‐induced apoptosis. Moreover, UVB inhibited apoptosis triggered by phorbol‐12‐myristate‐13‐acetate and gamma‐irradiation, but not by anti‐Fas antibody.Conclusions: The response of mouse thymocytes in culture to UV irradiation strongly depends on the wavelength used. It is suggested that either a survival or an apoptotic pathway occurs depending on the physiological state of the cell, spectral composition of the UV light and cell type.

We have found that F9 murine teratocarcinoma cells undergo morphological changes and internucleosomal DNA fragmentation characteristic of apoptosis after exposure to ionizing radiation. We studied the time course, radiation dose-response, and the effects of protein and RNA synthesis inhibitors on this process. The response is dose dependent in the range 2–12 Gy. Internucleosomal DNA fragmentation can be detected as early as 6 h postirradiation and is maximal by 48 h. Cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, and 5,6-dichloro-1-β-d-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole, an RNA synthesis inhibitor, both induced internucleosomal DNA fragmentation in the unirradiated cells and enhanced radiation-induced DNA fragmentation. F9 cells can be induced to differentiate into cells resembling endoderm with retinoic acid. After irradiation, differentiated F9 cells exhibit less DNA fragmentation than stem cells. This indicates that ionizing radiation can induce apoptosis in non-lymphoid tumours. We suggest that embryonic tumour cells may be particularly susceptible to agents that induce apoptosis. 相似文献
