Project description:In order to identified as candidate biomarkers for early diagonosis or as therapeutic targets in late damages of ionizing radiation, gene expression profile was analyzed in the peripheral blood of three 60Co γ-ray accidently-exposed persons. The results showed that there were 285 up-regulated and 446 down-regulated genes in irradiated samples compared with control samples. The large majority of those differentially expressed genes encode proteins that are associated with immune response, inflammation, cell structure, oxidative stress, neuro-hormone regulation, reproduction, susceptibility of psychiatric disorders, and transcriptional regulators. The expressions of IL3, KDR, CEACAM8 and OSM were validated by real-time RT-PCR method. The findings of our study should help us understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the late effects of ionizing radiation and to develop better diagonostic and therapeutic strategies for those damages. Fresh blood samples were collected from three 60Coγ-Ray accidentally-exposed persons(3 years post irradiation) and three non-irradiated healthy donors. Leucocytes cells were isolated and total RNA was extracted. Four RNA samples, from three accidently-exposed persons and a RNA mixture extracted from a combination of three healthy donors` leucocytes (ratio 1:1:1, each 3.3×106 cells) in EL buffer, were subjected to Agilent gene expression microarray assay.

Project description:This study aims to compare mRNA expression between irradiated and non-irradiated people’s blood by single-cell RNA-Seq. In this study, the blood was isolated from patients or healthy persons. The Control group of blood were collected from ten different persons without radiation and mixed for RNA-seq. The blood of irradiated patient was collected from a patient who was exposed to radiation.
