Project description:To identify radiation-induced miRNAs, we initially profiled human miRNA expression in NSCLC A549 and H1299 cells treated with X-ray radiation using miRNA microarrays. Indeed, we observed multiple dysregulated miRNAs following radiation in NSCLC cell lines.
Project description:This dataset is composed by the transcriptomic, proteomic and phosphoproteomic profile of primary human fibroblasts exposed to two different doses of radiation: an acute X-ray radiation dose, and an accumulative X-ray radiation dose. These data were employed to apply and evaluate different computational approaches to model and infer cellular signaling processes through the combination of prior knowledge and omic data. We employed RNA-Seq and Mass Spectrometry (MS) to generate the transcriptomic and proteomic data from the RNA and protein samples, respectively.
Project description:Here, male and female B6C3F1 mice were given single or fractionated whole-body exposure(s) to a monoenergetic carbon ion radiotherapy beam at the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba, Japan, matching the radiation quality delivered to the normal tissue ahead of the tumour volume. These mice were then monitored for the remainder of their lifespan and a large number of T cell lymphomas were analysed, alongside those arising in mice exposed to equivalent doses of standard Cs137 gamma ray-irradiation. Using genome-wide DNA copy number analysis to identify genomic loci involved in radiation-induced lymphomagenesis and subsequent detailed analysis of Notch1, Ikaros, Pten, Trp53 and Bcl11b genes we compared the genetic profile of the carbon ion- and gamma ray-induced tumours. The canonical set of genes previously associated with radiation-induced T cell lymphoma was identified in both radiation groups. While the pattern of disruption of the various pathways was somewhat different between the radiation types, most notably Pten mutation frequency and loss of heterozygosity flanking Bcl11b, the most striking finding was the observation of large interstitial deletions at various sites across the genome in carbon ion-induced tumours, which were only seen infrequently in the gamma ray-induced tumours analysed. 32 unique tumours (12 gamma ray-induced, 20 carbon ion-induced) each with sex-matched reference DNA

Project description:Nanostring gene expression analysis using tumors from mice treated with GLA, X-ray radiation or the combination of GLA and radiation showed that the combination of GLA and radiation has synergistic effect in modulating the tumor micronenvironment.
Project description:Most studies have analysed the effects of high dose radiation such as atomic bomb survivors in Japan, people exposed during the Chernobyl nuclear accident, patients undergoing radiation therapy, uranium miners, etc. However, it has been difficult to measure and assess the risk of cancer in people exposed to lower doses of ionising radiation, such as the people living at high altitudes, who are exposed to more natural background radiation from cosmic rays than people at sea level. We measured the genomic response to X-ray ionising radiation (10 cGy and 100 cGy) in a skin tissue model to compare the effects of low and high dose ionising radiation at different time points. The microarray data was then analysed using state-of-the art “upside-down pyramid” computational systems biology methods to identify genes contributing to the difference in the response to the different radiation doses. The model is reconstructed skin tissue, which is composed of keratinocytes that make up the epidermal layer, and fibroblasts that make up the dermal layer of the skin. Tissues were irradiated with 0, 10, and 100 cGy X-ray radiation. Skin plugs were harvested at 0, 3, 8, and 24 hours post irradiation.
Project description:To understand the molecular mechanism underlying inflammatory reaction in vascular system post exposure to ionizing radiation, we carried out microarray analysis in HUVEC exposed with X-ray HUVEC were irradiated with X-ray (2.5 Gy) and then cultured for 6, 12, and 24 hr. Total RNA were extracted from the tissue by QIAGEN Rneasy mini kit.
Project description:We used a rat model of whole body (except one hind limb that was shielded) x-ray irradiation to profile the microRNA (miRNA) in kidneys at 35 days after radiation. Small RNA from normal and irradiated (with or without lisinopril) Wistar rat kidneys were analyzed by next-generation sequencing and the changes by radiation and lisinopril were identified by deRNA-seq. MiR-34a-5p was increased after irradiation.
Project description:Proton (PT) therapy represents an alternative to conventional X-ray therapy, and its clinical application for cancer treatment is on the rise due to associated dose deposit advantages. However, our knowledge of biological responses to PT, in comparison to X-ray, remains in its infancy. Identification of PT specific molecular signals is an important opportunity for the discovery of biomarkers and synergistic drugs. We have profiled the transcriptome regulation of lymphoma cells exposed to clinical sources of PT and X-ray radiation, respectively. Subsequent analysis demonstrated both common and radiation-specific deregulation of gene expression. Gene set enrichment discovered pathways unique to PT \ that contribute to the unfolded protein response (UPR) and mitochondrial transport.
