<a name="home"></a>Effects of gamma-radiation on cell growth, cycle arrest, death, and superoxide dismutase expression by DU 145 human prostate cancer cells

Abstract: Gamma-irradiation (γ-IR) is extensively used in the treatment of hormone-resistant prostate carcinoma. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of 60 Co γ-IR on the growth, cell cycle arrest and cell death of the human prostate cancer cell line DU 145. The viability of DU 145 cells was measured by the Trypan blue exclusion assay and the 3(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5,diphenyltetrazolium bromide test. Bromodeoxyuridine incorporation was used for the determination of cell proliferation.… Show more

“…We found that cell accumulation was clearly induced by g-radiation in G 2 -M and S phases for both cases and controls, which is consistent with previous observations, indicating that cell cycle arrest is an ionizing radiation -inducible function (6,(25)(26)(27). Furthermore, our data showed that the cell accumulation indices at both the G 2 -M and S phases of the cell cycle were significantly lower in patients with lung cancer than in controls, suggesting that attenuated G 2 -M and S cell cycle checkpoints may be risk factors for lung cancer.…”

“…The transcription of the Cu/Zn-SOD gene has been reported to be upregulated in human HepG2 hepatoma cells following dioxin treatment used to induce ROS production and the activation of Nrf2 signalling (33), and also after irradiation in human oral cancer following preoperative radiation therapy (34) and human prostate cancer cells (35). In the results of the current study, the observed increase in Cu/Zn-SOD expression levels following whole-body irradiation is consistent with the activation of Nrf2 by increased oxidative stress.…”

“…The initial stage of free radical oxidation is controlled by enzyme superoxide dismutase, which neutralizes superoxide radical and therefore reduces the overall toxic effects of reactive oxygen forms (Bielenichev et al, 2002;Vucic et al, 2006;Martyshuk et al, 2016;Khariv et al, 2016). Table 1 shows the effect of cadmium load on superoxide dismutase activity in the bull's blood.…”
