Abstract
-
Recently developed cDNA microarray or DNA chip technology allows
expression monitoring of expression of hundreds and thousands of genes
simultaneously and provides a format for identifying genes as well as
changes in their activity. In order to search for changes in gene
expression after X irradiation in HL60 cells, cDNA microarray technique
was done. In this study, expression of 588 human genes (including
oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, cell cycle regulator genes,
intracellular signal transduction modulator genes, apoptosis related
genes, transcription factor genes, growth factors and receptor genes,
cytokine genes, etc) were analyzed. For cDNA microarray analysis mRNAs
were extracted from control and 8 Gy-irradiated HL60 cells. As a result
the changes in expression of several genes were observed. This alteration
of gene expression was confirmed by reverse transcription-polymerase
chain reaction. The expression of heat shock 60 KD protein, c-jun,
erythroid differentiation factor, CPP32, myeloid cell nuclear
differentiation antigen, MAP kinase-activated protein kinase,
interleukin-8, monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 and RANTES genes was
increased, but the expression of p55CDC gene was decreased after X
irradiation.
