Biological response to 2.5 Gy of X-rays in 3-dimensional skin model, Epi-200.

ABSTRACT: Biological response X-rays traditionally serves as a standard in comparative analysis of different qualities of ionizing radiation. Most such studies have utilized 2-dimensional culture systems, which may not fully represent responses in 3-dimensional tissues. To gain insight into biological responses to X-rays in tissue, we have profiled global gene expression in EPI-200, a 3-dimensional tissue model that imitates the structure and function of human epidermis, at 4, 16 and 24 hours after exposure to 2.5 Gy of X-rays. The most significant gene ontology groups were associated with cell cycle, cytokinesis, establishment and maintenance of chromatin architecture. Remarkably, genes with a role in cell cycle were predominantly downregulated at all time points while genes involved in the cell defense response - upregulated. Methyltransferases were predominantly upregulated at 4 and 16h while transcription factors - at 16h and 24h suggesting remodeling of the chromatin. Among the genes with a role in signal transduction, irradiation affected kinase modulators and microtubule binding motor proteins at all time points. Kinases, especially non-receptor serine/threonine protein kinases were predominantly upregulated at 16 and 24h suggesting a rearrangement in the signaling pathways. The results also confirm involvement in the biological response of the genes participating in p53 pathway that were overrepresented at 4 and 16h in the set of upregulated genes and ubiquitin proteasome pathway that were predominantly downregulated at 16h and 24h In the same time, growing numbers of altered in expression genes: 449 at 4h; 720 and 3986 genes - at 16 and 24h postirradiation, accordingly suggested that ionizing radiation caused long term changes in the gene expression the exceeded the time frame proposed for this study.

Radiation induced gene expression in 3-dimensional tissue model, Epi-200, was measured at 4, 16 and 24 hours after exposure to the dose of 2.5 Gy of X-rays. Three independent experiments were performed in the each time point using one tissue sample per a data point.

Project description:Ionizing radiation (IR) not only affects cells that are directly irradiated but also their non-irradiated neighbors, which show responses known as bystander effects. While bystander and direct responses have several common end points including apoptosis and micronucleation, chromatin remodeling and altered levels or activities of regulatory proteins, they can be quantitatively and qualitatively different. The majority of studies of radiation bystander effects have utilized 2-dimensional in vitro systems, but we have recently demonstrated such effects in EPI-200 (Mat-Tek, Ashland, MA), a 3-dimensional tissue model that precisely imitates the structure and function of human epidermis. Global gene expression is a powerful tool for uncovering both fundamental signaling processes and the mechanistic basis of cellular or physiological effects. By exposing only a thin strip across the center of the EPI-200 tissue, we have been able to measure global gene expression responses in bystander cells located at 0.125 and 0.625 um from the irradiation line, in 16h after irradiation. The data were analyzed using BRB-Array Tools (NIH), and further network analysis was performed with IPA (Ingenuity). Significantly responding genes were identified at the both distances. For instance, all sets demonstrated upregulation of two key enzymes of the lipid biosynthesis, UGT1 and PITPNB, and downregulation of proapoptotic proteins: BAX and ARHGEF5. In contrast, several proteins involved in transcriptional repression (CHD6, CHD8 andWRNIP1) were strongly upregulated suggesting a rearrangement in the gene transcription. These changes suggest an activation of bystander mechanisms different from those observed in 2-dimensional cell cultures. Radiation induced gene expression in 3-dimensional tissue model, Epi-200, was measured in 16 hours after exposure to 0.5 Gy of alpha-particles. Three independent experiments were performed for the samples collected at different distances from the irradiation line (125-625 and 625-1125 um) using three tissue fragments per a data point.
