摘要: 目的:探讨性别和年龄因素对电离辐射诱导的离体人外周血中辐射敏感基因mRNA表达变化的影响。方法:采集30例健康人离体外周血,以剂量率为1 Gy/min的60Co γ射线进行照射,照射剂量分别为0.5、1、2、3、4、6和8 Gy (以0 Gy为阴性对照组),照射后培养12 h,应用实时荧光定量PCR (qPCR)方法检测18个辐射敏感基因的mRNA表达水平变化,分析性别和年龄因素对这些基因mRNA表达水平的影响。结果:与阴性对照组相比,各剂量γ射线照射组人外周血18个辐射敏感基因的mRNA表达水平均明显增加,并且呈剂量-效应关系(R2=0.63~0.97,P < 0.05)。在相同照射剂量,MDM2、XPC、FDXR、DDB2、ASTN2和TNFSF4 mRNA相对表达水平在不同个体之间存在较大的差异。女性外周血中BAX、TNFRSF10B、ASTN2、TNFSF4、POLH和GADD45A mRNA相对表达水平均高于男性,在0.5~8 Gy照射剂量范围内具有统计学差异(P < 0.05或P < 0.01)。MDM2、FDXR、DDB2和RPS27L mRNA表达水平在不同年龄组间(20~29岁、30~39岁、40~49岁和50~60岁)存在差异(P < 0.05或P < 0.01)。结论:离体人外周血中辐射敏感基因mRNA表达水平的变化存在个体间差异,且与受照者性别和年龄相关。

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of gender and age on the changes in expression of radiation-responsive genes in irradiated human peripheral blood samples. METHODS: Human peripheral blood samples from 30 adult donors was acutely exposed to 60Co γ-rays at doses of 0,0.5,1,2,3,4,6 and 8 Gy with the dose rate of 1 Gy/min. Irradiated peripheral blood samples were subsequently incubated at 37-C for 12 h. The effects of gender and age on changes in radiation-responsive gene expressions were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). RESULTS: The relative mRNA expression levels of 18 radiation-responsive genes were significantly up-regulated in a dose-dependent manner at 12 h after the irradiation (R2=0.63-0.97,P < 0.05). However,the relative mRNA expression levels of MDM2,XPC,FDXR,DDB2,ASTN2 and TNFSF4 showed approximately fivefold variabilities among different individual samples which were irradiated with the same does. Radiation-induced transcriptional changes of BAX,TNFRSF10B,ASTN2,TNFSF4,POLH and GADD45A in female samples were significantly higher than that in male samples (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Expression levels of MDM2,FDXR,DDB2 and RPS27L showed differences between four age groups after exposure to 0.5-8 Gy of γ-rays (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The changes in expression of radiation-responsive genes in blood samples demonstrate significant inter-individual variations which were mainly related to the gender and age of the individual donors.
