Project description:au09-03_gamma-irradiation - 2 doses of ionising radiations (x-rays) - Metabolic pathways involved in the response of plants to ionising radiation treatment. - Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) seeds were grown in Petri dishes under sterile conditions until they had 2-rosette-leaves (on average 10 days). Then they received a dose of 10 or 40 gray of X-ray (Faxitron HP). Plant were harvested 2 and 26 hours after irradiation, immediatly frozen and stored at -80°C until RNA extraction (Rneasy plant mini Kit, Qiagen) . Experiment was carried in duplicates and a non irradiated control was done for each time.

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.
Project description:A functional study of genes that might play a role in DNA repair/recombination and in the response to oxidative stress (Microarrays expression studies, Microbiological assays, In planta functional studies). Which Arabidopsis thaliana genes are induced by ionising radiations? Comparison of SADE transcriptome data (Af1999083) and micro-arrays transcriptome data.

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.
