Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related biomarkers and the quantification of plant survival and growth were examined at 10 day after carbon ions irradiation (LET: 30.8 keV/μm). The results showed that heavy ions obviously enhanced ROSs reflected by the production of O2 and H2O2 as well as TBARS, and - treatment with 20 Gy achieved the peak value, suggesting that higher mutagenic potential may occur at 20 Gy. Simultaneously, increase of SOD activity was induced by heavy ions to counteract ROS accumulation. On the other hand, higher doses at 40 and 80 Gy inhibited wheat growth and survival in comparison with the control, and reversely lower doses at 10 or 20 Gy stimulated wheat growth and survival. In conclusion, the above observations imply that a dose range of 20~40 Gy is likely promised for wheat mutation breeding.展开更多

Kun-Ming mice were divided into two groups, each composed of six males and six females: control group and irradiation group with a single acute dose of 4 Gy. Animals were sacrificed at 2, 4 and 12 h respectively, there lungs were removed immediately, and the oxidative stress-related biomarkers were measured by Diagnostic Reagent Kits. The results showed that the relative activities of superoxide dismutase (4 h), catalase (2 h) and Se-dependent glutathione peroxidase (12 h) have significant changes (P<0.05) between male groups and female groups, suggesting that the lungs of male mice are more sensitive to counteracting the oxidative challenge. Moreover, higher levels of malondiadehyde and lower contents of glutathione were also found in males, indicating that oxidative stress induced by 12C6+ ion is pronounced in the lungs of males. We thought that these sex-responded differences may be attributed to the influence of sex hormones.展开更多

文摘本文研究了HeLa细胞经过12C6+离子束辐照之后的DNA损伤效应,及辐照后p53激活的分子机制。运用中性单细胞电泳技术,检测了HeLa细胞经过4Gy 12C6+离子束辐照间隔0、3、6和12h之后DNA的损伤情况,及0.5、1、2和4Gy 12C6+离子束辐照后即时的DNA损伤情况。同时运用细胞生长实时监测仪监测了HeLa细胞在经过0、0.5和1Gy 12C6+离子束辐照之后的生长变化,并运用AO/EB双染检测了辐照细胞24h后的凋亡情况。另外,利用8mmol/L的咖啡因[抑制ATM(ataxia-telangiectasia,mutated)和ATR(ATM and Rad3-related kinase)]和20μmol/L的wortmannin[抑制ATM和DNA-PK(DNA-dependent protein kinase)]处理HeLa细胞后再进行1Gy 12C6+离子束辐照,通过westernblot检测p53的表达。结果显示,12C6+离子束辐照可造成HeLa细胞的DNA损伤,损伤随剂量升高而升高但随测定间隔时间降低,诱导HeLa细胞发生凋亡;而且辐照后p53表达升高。结果证明12C6+离子束辐照可造成HeLa细胞的DNA损伤并诱导损伤修复及凋亡等效应,损伤效应相关因子p53被激活,并且激活依赖于ATM。
