Abstract

To study whether laryngeal cancer stem cells in hypoxia have the characteristic of resistance to irradiation and underlying mechanism. CD133(+) cells were separated from Hep-2 cells with flow cytometry (FCM) and the purity was 92.8%. The separated CD133(+) cells were cultured in serum-free medium in hypoxia in normoxia environment respectively, and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) expression was detected by FCM. The cells were exposed respectively to X-rays emitted by linear accelerator with a dose of 0, 5, 10, 15 or 20 Gy for 24 hours, with additional time points of 12, 36, and 48 hours for the cells exposed to 10 Gy. Then the growth inhibition ratios of cells in hypoxia and normoxia groups were detected with MTT assay at different time points. Soft agar colony formation assay was used to detect colony formation ratios of cells in hypoxia and normoxia groups. DNA dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), ataxia telangiectasia mutate (ATM), Survivin and P53 were detected by FCM. Growth inhibition ratio of CD133(+) cells in hypoxia group was lower than that in normoxia group (P < 0.05). Colony formation ratio of CD133(+) cells was higher than that of CD133(-) cells (P < 0.01) and the ratio of CD133(+) cells...Continue Reading

Ataxia telangiectasia (MDS)

Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare neurodegenerative diseases caused by defects in the ATM gene, which is involved in DNA damage recognition and repair pathways. Here is the latest research on this autosomal recessive disease.
