Project description:Immediate and long-term effects of low doses of γ-irradiation on hematopoietic stem cells
Project description:Analysis of highly purified long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs) irradiated at 0Gy, 0.02Gy, 0.1Gy and 0.5Gy six months after transplantation. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying multiple aspects of LT-HSCs premature ageing after low doses of γ-irradiation (0.02Gy).
Project description:Analysis of highly purified long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs) 2 hours after irradiation at 0Gy, 0.02Gy and 2.5Gy. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying LT-HSCs immediate response to low doses of γ-irradiation compared to high doses. Three samples were analyzed and correlated with the control group (0Gy).
Project description:We sought to determine the long-term effects of radiation (IR) on gene expression in the whole heart as a function of IR type and dose. We hypothesize that compared to low doses of gamma-IR, high charge and energy (HZE) particle-IR may have different biological response thresholds in cardiac tissue at lower doses, and these effects may be IR type- and dose-dependent. We provide for the first time the transcriptome analysis of mouse hearts exposed to low and very low doses of gamma- (137Cs), silicon- (14Si), and titanium- (22Ti) irradiation. Our results show that 16 months after low and very low dose IR exposure, the gene expression in the heart tissue is significantly differentially regulated, suggesting there are long-term effects on dysregulation of varying molecular pathways that are associ-ated with various degrees of cardiovascular, pulmonary and metabolic diseases, as well as biological processes, including abnormal circadian rhythm, cancer, Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, etc.

Results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying multiple aspects of LT-HSCs premature ageing after low doses of γ-irradiation (0.02Gy). Four samples were analyzed and correlated with the control group (0Gy).
Project description:The aim of our study is to investigate and compare the effects of carbon and photon irradiation on microvascular endothelial cells. Therefore we irradiated human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMEC) with either 2Gy Carbon or 6Gy Photon (bioequivalent doses) and performed microarray analysis both 2 hours (short-term effect) and 6 days (long-term effects) after irradiation. All experiments were performed in 3 biological replicates.
Project description:Expression profiles in mouse liver exposed to long-term gamma-irradiation were examined to assess in vivo effects of low dose-rate radiation. Three groups of male C57BL/6J mice were exposed to whole body irradiation at dose-rates of 17-20 mGy/day, 0.86-1.0 mGy/day or 0.042-0.050 mGy/day for 401-485 days (cumulative doses were approximately 8 Gy, 0.4 Gy or 0.02 Gy, respectively). Expression profiles were produced for RNA isolated from irradiated individual animals and for pooled RNA from sham-irradiated 3 animals for control. The expression levels of 6 irradiated animals for each dose were compared individually with those of 2 pooled controls (3 irradiated samples to one pooled control in first and second experiments).
Project description:Low-C was performed upon human cord-blood long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) and short-term hematopoietic stem cells (ST-HSC). This was used to demonstrate that chromatin conformation changes associated with LT-HSC activation are enriched in ST-HSC.
