EXPRESSION OF p21 AND EXPRESSION AND ACTIVATION OF MAPK REGULATED TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS IN PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS IN RATS AFTER WHOLE-BODY γ-RADIATION AND ITS USE IN BIODOSIMETRY
Abstract:The aim of our study was to examine the in vivo expression of p21 and expression and activation of ATF-2, c-Myc, and CREB in rat peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) after whole body γ-irradiation and to assess its contribution to biodosimetry. For Western blot experiments, male Wistar rats were whole-body irradiated by a single dose of 0, 0.5, 1, 3, and 5 Gy (60 Co, 1 m, 0.7 Gy/min). As a positive control, leukaemic MOLT-4 cells were used. For ELISA experiments, male Wistar rats were whole-body irradiate… Show more
