Abstract
Quinazoline derivatives constitute a large family of small-molecule inhibitors of tyrosine kinases. In the current study, the p53 protein reactivator CP-31398 was tested against a panel of kinases on the assumption that it was structurally similar to other active inhibitors. Although it was found to be active in the enzyme-based assay, this compound did not block the proliferation of cancer cells at a feasible concentration level. The styrylquinazoline was used to design new structures that might be potential multitarget inhibitors. Subsequently, a series of compounds was obtained and characterized. Their inhibitory activity in a panel of tyrosine kinases had an antiproliferative effect against several cancer cell lines that have different expression levels of those proteins. The mode of protein interaction was tested for the most active compound in docking experiments.

Abstract
Glycine is a well-documented cytoprotective agent. However, whether it has a protective effect against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo is still unknown. By using an open-chest anesthetized rat model, we found that glycine reduced the infarct size by 21% in ischemia-reperfusion injury rats compared with that in the vehicle-treated MI/R rats. The left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening were increased by 19.11% and 30.98%, respectively, in glycine-treated rats. The plasma creatine kinase levels in ischemia-reperfusion injury rats decreased following glycine treatment. Importantly, administration of glycine significantly inhibited apoptosis in post-ischemia-reperfusion myocardium, which was accompanied by suppression of phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase, as well as the Fas ligand. These results suggest that glycine attenuates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo by inhibiting cardiomyocytes apoptosis.

Abstract
This study shows the human cellular responses and the mechanism of low-dose ionizing radiation in CCD 18 Lu cells, which are derived from normal human lung fibroblasts. Cell proliferation and viability assay were measured for the cells following gamma-irradiation using trypan blue, BrdU incorporation, and Wst-1 assay. We also examined genotoxicity using a micronuclei formation assay. The activation of the MAPKs pathway was determined by Western blot analysis, and the siRNA system was used to inhibit the expression of ERK1/2 and p38. We found that 0.05 Gy of ionizing radiation stimulated cell proliferation and did not change Micronuclei frequencies. In addition, 0.05 Gy of ionizing radiation activated ERK1/2 and p38, but did not activate JNK1/2 in cells. A specific ERK1/2 inhibitor, U0126, decreased the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 proteins induced by 0.05 Gy of ionizing radiation, and a similar suppressive effect was observed with a p38 inhibitor, PD169316. Suppression of ERK1/2 and p38 phosphorylation with these inhibitors decreased cell proliferation, which was stimulated by 0.05 Gy of ionizing radiation. Furthermore, downregulation of ERK1/2 and p38 expression using siRNA blocked the cell proliferation that had been increased by 0.05 Gy of ionizing radiation. These results suggest that 0.05 Gy of ionizing radiation enhances cell proliferation through the activation of ERK1/2 and p38 in normal human lung fibroblasts.

Abstract
Thermoluminescence (TL) in sintered CaF2 doped with Tb4O7 has been studied for UV and X-ray irradiation. Three TL glow peaks for the Tb4O7 doped sample appeared in the temperature regions of about (1) 347-353 K, (2) 378-383 K and (3) 453-458 K, when heated at a rate of 20 K min(-1) after UV or X-ray irradiation at room temperature. It has been found that the 378 K peak intensity of the samples co-doped with Tb4O7 and Sm2O3 became stronger when compared with those doped with only terbium or samarium ions, and the TL peaks of (1) 347-353 K and (3) 453-458 K were not observed. The intensity of the 378 K peak of the co-doped sample was 12.9 times that of the sample doped only with Tb4O7. From the TL spectra and the excitation and emission spectra of photoluminescence for the CaF2 doped activators, it is concluded that the TL of Tb3+ ions is sensitised by the existence of Sm3+ ions. The 378 K TL peak may also be suitable for UV radiation dosimetry.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation is known to activate both the cytotoxic stress-activated kinases (SAPK/JNK, p38) and the cytoprotective mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs, ERKs), which send divergent signals to the nucleus. However, all these kinases could not be activated simultaneously and at all the doses. An attempt has been made in this study to establish the dose and temporal response of these kinases with a view to establish the identity of the transcription factors that remain activated because only these will be translated into an effect. The study indicates that the stress-activated kinases (SAPK/JNK and p38) are activated by very low doses (0.1 Gy) of ionizing radiation. An induction of expression of MKK4, precursor to SAPK and p38, was found at lower doses (0.1-0.5 Gy). However, the cytoprotective ERK2 showed a progressive increase in expression with dose, except at 3 Gy where it shows a marginal decline. The stress-activated kinases show an increased expression or activation at early periods, unlike ERK2, which shows a prolonged response to stimuli. This study reveals that in the in vivo condition there is a chronological order of activation of the kinases and a dose-dependent activation. The activations of the cytoplasmic kinases and the transcription factors, Elk-1 and c-Jun, both show prolonged activation and maximum response at high doses.

Abstract
Cisplatin, a commonly used antineoplastic agent, destroys the sensory hair cells in the cochlear and vestibular system leading to irreversible hearing loss and balance problems. Cisplatin-induced hair cell damage presumably occurs by apoptosis. Recent studies suggest that p53 may play an important role initiating cisplatin-induced apoptosis in some cell types. To determine if p53 plays a role in cisplatin-mediated hair cell loss, cochlear and utricular organotypic cultures were prepared from postnatal day 3-4 rats and treated with cisplatin or cisplatin plus pifithrin-alpha (PFT), a p53 inhibitor. Control cultures were devoid of p53 immunolabeling, caspase-1 and caspase-3 labeling and p53 protein was absent from Western blots. Cisplatin (1-10 microg/ml) caused a dose-dependent loss of hair cells in cochlear and utricular cultures, up-regulated phospho-p53 serine 15 immunolabeling, increased the expression of phospho-p53 serine 15 in Western blots from 6 to 48 h after the onset of cisplatin-treatment, and increased caspase-1 and caspase-3 labeling in cochlear and vestibular cultures. Addition of PFT (20-100 microM) to cisplatin-treated cochlear and utricular cultures resulted in a dose-dependent increase in hair cell survival; suppressed the expression of p53 in Western blots and eliminated caspase-1 and caspase-3 labeling in cultures. These results suggest that the tumor suppressor protein, p53, plays a critical role in initiating apoptosis in cochlear and vestibular hair cells. Temporary suppression of p53 with PFT provides significant protection against cisplatin-induced hair cell loss and offers the potential for reducing the ototoxic, vestibulotoxic and neurotoxic side effects of cisplatin.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between alterations of splenic T-cell subpopulations and the amelioration of autoimmune diseases of MRL/MpTn-gld/gld mice (MRL/gld mice) after extended exposure to low-dose radiation. After the onset of disease, 4-month-old MRL/gld mice were exposed to doses of 0.05, 0.2, and 0.5 Gy/day for 4 weeks (5 days/week), for total doses of 1, 4, and 10 Gy, respectively. The MRL/gld mice that were irradiated with 0.2 and 0.5 Gy/day showed an obvious decrease in the proportion of splenic CD4(-)CD8(-) T cells and remission of their autoimmune diseases. After the last irradiation, apoptotic cells were found in the white pulp of the spleen of the MRL/gld mice irradiated with 0.2 Gy/day, but not in the MRL/MpJ-+/+ mice (MRL/wild mice), which experienced a similar treatment. Before the onset of disease, 3-month-old MRL/gld mice subjected to 0.2 Gy/day showed a decrease in the proportion of splenic CD4(-)CD8(-) T cells and less remission of their autoimmune diseases than the 4-month-old mice. These results suggest that the accumulated CD4(-)CD8(-) T cells are more sensitive to radiation than other T-cell subpopulations, and that decreasing CD4(-)CD8(-) T cells with extended exposure to low-dose radiation leads to the amelioration of autoimmune disease.

Abstract
In order to observe and estimate the dose of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the thermoluminescence (TL) of sintered CaF2 doped with Tb4O7 and Sm2O3 was studied. A several kind of lanthanides elements are doped in pure CaF2 powder crystals and properties of the TL to UV radiation were observed. The TL intensity from CaF2:Tb was the highest among the samples doped other lanthanide elements. The TL emission may be due to the recombination reaction; Tb2+ + hole-->Tb3+*-->Tb3+ + hv. The TL peaks are observed at about 353 K, 378 K and 458 K. It was found that the 378 K TL peak intensity of CaF2:Tb became strong by addition of Sm2O3. The 378 K TL peak may also be suitable for use as a dosimeter.

Abstract
To assess the role of NF-kappaB in cellular radiosensitivity, we constructed mutated IkappaB expression plasmids for SY-IkappaB (with mutations at residues of 32, 36 and 42) expression in human malignant glioma cells (radiosensitive MO54 and radioresistant T98 cells), giving respective cell types referred to as MO54-SY4 and T98-SY14. Both of the clones expressing SY-IkappaB became radiosensitive, compared with the parental MO54 and T98 cells. A treatment with herbimycin A or genistein did not change the radiosensitivity of cells expressing SY-IkappaB, but made both the MO54 and T98 parental cells more sensitive to ionizing radiation. A treatment with TNF-alpha induced DNA fragmentation and apoptosis in cells expressing SY-IkappaB, but not in MO54 and T98 cells. The survival after X-ray exposure of the parental MO54 cells was slightly increased by a TNF-alpha treatment, but that of the parental T98 cells did not change. The change in sensitivity to ultra-violet (UV) radiation and adriamycin in MO54-SY4 cells was very similar to that for X-ray sensitivity, but no change was observed in T98-SY14 cells. Significant sublethal damage repair was observed in T98 cells, whereas MO54 cells showed little repair activity. The expression of p53 was enhanced in the parental MO54 cells, while the p53 levels in the MO54-SY4, and in the parent and clonal T98 cells, did not change. Our data suggest that the serine and tyrosine phosphorylation of IkappaB-alpha may play a role in determining the radiosensitivity of malignant glioma cells.
