Effect of lonizing Radiation on the Expression of p16,CyclinD1 and CDK4 in Mouse Thymocytes and Splenocytes

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of ionizing radiation on the expression of p16, CyclinD1, and CDK4 in mouse thymocytes and splenocytes. METHODS: Fluorescent staining and flow cytometry analysis were employed for the measurement of protein expression. RESULTS: In time course experiments, it was found that the expression of p16 protein was significantly increased at 8, 24, and 48 h for thymocytes (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, and P < 0.05, respectively) and at 24 h for splenocytes (P < 0.05) after whole body irradiation (WBI) with 2.0 Gy X-rays. However, the expression of CDK4 protein was significantly decreased from 8 h to 24 h for thymocytes (P < 0.05-P < 0.01) and from 8 h to 72 h for splenocytes (P < 0.05-P < 0.01). In dose effect experiments, it was found that the expression of p16 protein in thymocytes and splenocytes was significantly increased at 24 h after WBI with 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 Gy (P < 0.05-P < 0.01), whereas the expression of CDK4 protein was significantly decreased with 2.0 Gy for thymocytes (P < 0.05) and 0.5-6.0 Gy for splenocytes (P < 0.05-P < 0.01). Results also showed that the expression of CyclinD1 protein decreased markedly in both thymocytes and splenocytes after exposure. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the expression of p16 protein in thymocytes and splenocytes can be induced by ionizing radiation, and the p16-CyclinD1/CDK4 pathway may play an important role for G1 arrest of thymocytes induced by X-rays.     

Anticancer Drug Resistance of HeLa Cells Transfected With Rat Glutathione S-transferase pi Gene

Objective To establish a cytologic expressing system of rat glutathione S-transferase pi (GST-pi) cDNA for detecting the resistance of HeLa cells to anticancer drugs. Methods The assessment was made with various anticancer drugs (adriamycin, mitomycin, cisplatinum and vincristine) that showed different cytotoxicities in transfectant HeLa cells with pSV-GT containing rat GST-pi cDNA (HeLa/pSV-GT) or control pSV-neo (HeLa/pSV-neo). Expression levels of GST-pi mRNA in HeLa/pSV-GT and HeLa/pSV-neo were measured by in situ hybridization using Digoxin-labelled cDNA probe. Results HeLa/pSV-GT expressed significantly high degree of GST-pi mRNA, whereas both HeLa/pSV-neo and HeLa cells had very low expression. Cytotoxicities of HeLa/pSV-GT and HeLa/pSV-neo with 4 anticancer drugs were measured by MTT assay. Drug concentrations for yielding 50% inhibition (IC50) in HeLa/pSV-GT by adriamycin, mitomycin and cisplatinum were 70.13μg/mL, 10.95μg/mL and 16.52μg/mE respectively. In contrast, IC50 in HeLa/pSV-neo was 10.34μg/mL, 7.48μg/mL and 13.70μg/mE respectively. The cytotoxicities of vincristine on both HeLa/pSV-GT and HeLa/pSV-neo were not significantly different. Conclusions Our findings suggest that HeLa/pSV-GT containing rat GST-pi cDNA is resistant to some anticancer drugs due to overexpression of GST-pi. Also, HeLa/pSV-GT cell line could serve as a useful cytogenetic model for further research.

Time-dependent astroglial changes after gamma knife radiosurgery in the rat forebrain

OBJECTIVE: Using an experimental rat model and a clinically relevant treatment dose, we performed gamma knife radiosurgery to define the hyperacute radiation effects in normal rat forebrain, the time dependence of the astrocytic reaction, and the participation of astrocytes in the healing process after single-dose gamma radiation injuries. METHODS: Seventy-one rats underwent radiosurgical treatment (4-mm collimator) of the caudate-putamen nucleus (single-fraction maximal dose of 100 Gy) and were killed at times ranging from 3 hours to 90 days. Serial cryostat brain sections were processed with the immunohistochemical avidin-biotin complex technique, using anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein as the primary antibody (to identify astrocytes). RESULTS: Vascular changes, including endothelial hyperplasia and vessel wall thickening, were identified as the earliest postradiation manifestations and continued throughout the observation period. Astrocytes reacted to the radiation injury with hyperplasia and hypertrophy. At earlier time points (3-24 h), proliferation was the predominant reaction. The expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein in the proliferating and hypertrophic astrocytes formed an initial peak in the adjacent corpus callosum 3 days after radiosurgery and peaked within the target site between 14 and 30 days. Astrocytic proliferation and hypertrophy were also observed in distant cortices (frontal, parietal, insular, and piriform cortices) and in the hippocampus. No necrosis was observed less than 30 days after irradiation. By Day 90, necrotic lesions with a mean diameter of 4 mm were identified, with glial scar at their peripheries. Astrocytic morphological features varied according to the distance from the necrosis. The irradiated side contained more glial fibrillary acidic protein-containing cells than did the nonirradiated contralateral side. CONCLUSION: During the early phase after radiation, vasculopathy was the first morphological change and may serve as the initiating factor for subsequent changes. Reactive astrocytes appeared not only at the target site but also in the surrounding regions; the severity of injury was determined by the distance from the target.

Congenital bladder diverticulum and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: an unusual association

The existence of a vesical diverticulum in the context of a congenital connective tissue disorder such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome led us to consider the possibility of a relationship. Four types of diverticula can be found in the literature: congenital, acquired, iatrogenic and syndrome-associated. Within the later, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes type IV and IX, even type V, are associated to the existence of vesical diverticula. The potential spontaneous rupture of the diverticulum is a typical feature, as well as post-surgery relapse. The attitude towards such diverticula should be one of watchful waiting, and simple, plasty-free diverticulectomy on the bladder's neck is indicated when performing a surgical procedure.
