Abstract
In this study, we assess the impact of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using aluminum phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate (AlPcS4) on the viability and cellular stress responses of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Specifically, we investigate changes in cell viability, cytokine production, and the expression of stress-related genes. Experimental groups included control cells, those treated with AlPcS4 only, light-emitting diode (LED) only, and combined PDT. To evaluate these effects on cell viability, cytokine production, and the expression of stress-related genes, techniques such as 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and real-time quantitative PCR (RT‒qPCR) were employed. Our findings reveal how PDT with AlPcS4 modulates mitochondrial activity and cytokine responses, shedding light on the cellular pathways essential for cell survival and stress adaptation. This work enhances our understanding of PDT's therapeutic potential and mechanisms in treating breast cancer.

Abstract
ABSTRACT It is now well accepted that the mechanisms induced by low-dose exposures to ionizing radiation (LDR) are different from those occurring after high-dose exposures. However, the downstream effects of these mechanisms are unclear as are the quantitative relationships between exposure, effect, harm, and risk. In this paper, we will discuss the mechanisms known to be important with an overall emphasis on how so-called "non-targeted effects" (NTE) communicate and coordinate responses to LDR. Targeted deposition of ionizing radiation energy in cells causing DNA damage is still regarded as the dominant trigger leading to all downstream events whether targeted or non-targeted. We regard this as an over-simplification dating back to formal target theory. It ignores that last 100 y of biological research into stress responses and signaling mechanisms in organisms exposed to toxic substances, including ionizing radiation. We will provide evidence for situations where energy deposition in cellular targets alone cannot be plausible as a mechanism for LDR effects. An example is where the energy deposition takes place in an organism not receiving the radiation dose. We will also discuss how effects after LDR depend more on dose rate and radiation quality rather than actual dose, which appears rather irrelevant. Finally, we will use recent evidence from studies of cataract and melanoma induction to suggest that after LDR, post-translational effects, such as protein misfolding or defects in energy metabolism or mitochondrial function, may dominate the etiology and progression of the disease. A focus on such novel pathways may open the way to successful prophylaxis and development of new biomarkers for better risk assessment after low dose exposures.

Abstract
The study aimed to investigate late radiation-induced changes in the histology, ultrastructure, and activity of lysosomal enzymes in mouse liver exposed to ionizing radiation. The experiment was conducted on C57BL/6J male mice whose distal part of the liver was exposed occasionally to single doses of radiation (6 MV photons) during targeted heart irradiation; estimated doses delivered to analyzed tissue were 0.025 Gy, 0.25 Gy, 1 Gy, and 2 Gy. Tissues were collected 40 weeks after irradiation. We have observed that late effects of radiation have an adaptive nature and their intensity was dose-dependent. Morphological changes in hepatocytes included an increased number of primary lysosomes and autophagic vacuoles, which were visible in tissues irradiated with 0.25 Gy and higher doses. On the other hand, a significant increase in the activity of lysosomal hydrolases was observed only in tissues exposed to 2 Gy. The etiology of these changes may be multifactorial and result, among others, from unintentional irradiation of the distal part of the liver and/or functional interaction of the liver with an irradiated heart. In conclusion, we confirmed the presence of late dose-dependent ultrastructural and biochemical changes in mouse hepatocytes after liver irradiation in vivo.

Abstract
The health impacts of low-dose ionizing radiation exposures have been a subject of debate over the last three to four decades. While there has been enough evidence of "no adverse observable" health effects at low doses and low dose rates, the hypothesis of "Linear No Threshold" continues to rule and govern the principles of radiation protection and the formulation of regulations and public policies. In adopting this conservative approach, the role of the biological processes underway in the human body is kept at abeyance. This review consolidates the available studies that discuss all related biological pathways and repair mechanisms that inhibit the progression of deleterious effects at low doses and low dose rates of ionizing radiation. It is pertinent that, taking cognizance of these processes, there is a need to have a relook at policies of radiation protection, which as of now are too stringent, leading to undue economic losses and negative public perception about radiation.

Abstract
Organisms frequently suffer negative effects from large doses of ionizing radiation. However, radiation is not as hazardous at lower doses as was once believed. The current study aims to evaluate the possible radio-adaptive effect induced by low-dose radiation (LDR) in modulating high-dose radiation (HDR) and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA)-induced lung injury in male albino rats. Sixty-four male rats were randomly divided into four groups: Group 1 (control): normal rats; Group 2 (D): rats given NDEA in drinking water; Group 3 (DR): rats administered with NDEA then exposed to fractionated HDR; and Group 4 (DRL): rats administered with NDEA then exposed to LDR + HDR. In the next stage, malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione reduced (GSH), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in the lung tissues were measured. Furthermore, the enzyme-linked immunoassay analysis technique was performed to assess the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4), and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) expression levels. Histopathological and DNA fragmentation analyses in lung tissue, in addition to hematological and apoptosis analyses of the blood samples, were also conducted. Results demonstrated a significant increase in antioxidant defense and a reduction in MDA levels were observed in LDR-treated animals compared to the D and DR groups. Additionally, exposure to LDR decreased TLR4, IRAK4, and MAPK levels, decreased apoptosis, and restored all the alterations in the histopathological, hematological parameters, and DNA fragmentation, indicating its protective effects on the lung when compared with untreated rats. Taken together, LDR shows protective action against the negative effects of subsequent HDR and NDEA. This impact may be attributable to the adaptive response induced by LDR, which decreases DNA damage in lung tissue and activates the antioxidative, antiapoptotic, and anti-inflammatory systems in the affected animals, enabling them to withstand the following HDR exposure.

Abstract
PURPOSE Development of an integrated time and dose model to explore the dynamics of gene expression alterations and identify biomarkers for biodosimetry following low- and high-dose irradiations at high dose rate. MATERIAL AND METHODS We utilized multiple transcriptome datasets (GSE8917, GSE43151, and GSE23515) from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) for identifying candidate biological dosimeters. A linear mixed-effects model with random intercept was used to explore the dose-time dynamics of transcriptional responses and to functionally characterize the time- and dose-dependent changes in gene expression. RESULTS We identified genes that are correlated with dose and time and discovered two clusters of genes that are either positively or negatively correlated with both dose and time based on the parameters of the model. Genes in these two clusters may have persistent transcriptional alterations. Twelve potential transcriptional markers for dosimetry-ARHGEF3, BAX, BBC3, CCDC109B, DCP1B, DDB2, F11R, GADD45A, GSS, PLK3, TNFRSF10B, and XPC were identified. Of these genes, BAX, GSS, and TNFRSF10B are positively associated with both dose and time course, have a persistent transcriptional response, and might be better biological dosimeters. CONCLUSIONS With the proposed approach, we may identify candidate biomarkers that change monotonically in relation to dose, have a persistent transcriptional response, and are reliable over a wide dose range.

Abstract
Personnel using X-ray devices, the main source of radiation in medical institutions, are primarily affected by scattered rays. When interventionists use radiation for examinations/treatments, their hands may enter the radiation-generating area. The shielding gloves used for protection against these rays restrict movement and cause discomfort. Here, a shielding cream that directly adheres to the skin was developed and examined as a personal protective device; further, its shielding performance was verified. Bismuth oxide and barium sulfate were selected as shielding materials and comparatively evaluated in terms of thickness, concentration, and energy. With increasing wt% of the shielding material, the protective cream became thicker, resulting in improved protection. Furthermore, the shielding performance improved with increasing mixing temperature. Because the shielding cream is applied to the skin and has a protective effect, it must be stable on the skin and easy to remove. During manufacturing, the bubbles were removed, and the dispersion improved by 5% with increasing stirring speed. During mixing, the temperature increased as the shielding performance increased by 5% in the low-energy region. In terms of the shielding performance, bismuth oxide was superior to barium sulfate by approximately 10%. This study is expected to facilitate the mass production of cream in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hormesis or low-dose ionizing radiation is known to induce various biological responses, a subcategory of which is the adaptive response, which has been reported to protect against higher radiation doses via multiple mechanisms. This study investigated the role of the cell-mediated immunological component of low-dose ionizing radiation-induced adaptive response. METHODS Herein, male albino rats were exposed to whole-body gamma radiation, using a Cs137 source with low-dose ionizing radiation doses of 0.25 and 0.5 Gray (Gy); 14 days later, another irradiation session at a dose level of 5 Gy was carried on. Four days post-irradiation at 5 Gy, rats were sacrificed. The low-dose ionizing radiation-induced immuno-radiological response has been assessed through the T-cell receptor (TCR) gene expression quantification. Also, the serum levels of each of interleukins-2 and -10 (IL-2, IL-10), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were quantified. RESULTS Results indicated that priming low irradiation doses resulted in significant decrements in TCR gene expression and the serum levels of IL-2, TGF-β, and 8-OHdG with an increment in IL-10 expression compared to the irradiated group, which did not receive low priming doses. CONCLUSION The observed low-dose ionizing radiation-induced radio-adaptive response significantly protected against high irradiation dose injuries, through immune suppression, representing a promising pre-clinical protocol that would be applied to minimize radiotherapy side effects on normal but not against the tumor cells.

Abstract
AbstractCo-exposure of High-fat-diet (HFD) behavior and environmental low-dose radiation (LDR) is common among majority occupational workers, but the synergism of this co-exposure in metabolic health is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the impact of gut microbiota and its metabolites on the regulation of HFD accompanied by LDR-associated with metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance. Here, we reported that Parasutterella was markedly elevated in the gut microbiota of mice in co-exposure of HFD and LDR, accompanied by increased pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid (PA) level in both intestine and plasma. Transplantation of fecal microbiota from mice with co-exposure HFD and LDR with metabolic dysfunction resulted in increased disruption of metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance and increased PYCR1 (Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1) expression. Mechanistically, intestinal barrier was damaged more serious in mice with co-exposure of HFD and LDR, leading high PA level in plasma, activating PYCR1 expression to inhibit insulin Akt/mTOR (AKT kinase-transforming protein/Serine threonine-protein kinase) signaling pathway to aggravate HFD-induced metabolic impairments. This study suggests a new avenue for interventions against western diet companied with low dose radiation exposure-driven metabolic impairments.

Abstract
For more than two years, coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has represented a threat to global health and lifestyles. Computed tomography (CT) imaging provides useful information in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. However, this diagnostic modality is based on exposure to ionizing radiation, which is associated with an increased risk of radiation-induced cancer. In this study, we evaluated the common dose descriptors, CTDIvol and DLP, for 1180 adult patients. This data was used to estimate the effective dose, and risk of exposure-induced death (REID). Awareness of the extensive use of CT as a diagnostic tool in the management of COVID-19 during the pandemic is vital for the evaluation of radiation exposure parameters, dose reduction methods development and radiation protection.

Abstract
Most studies of the biological effects of ionizing radiation have been done on a
single acute dose, while clinically and environmentally exposures occur under
chronic/repetitive conditions. It is important to study effects of different
patterns of ionizing radiation. In this study, a rat model was used to compare
the effects of repetitive and acute exposure. Groups: (I) control, (II, III)
were exposed to fractionated doses (1.5 GyX4) and (2 GyX4), respectively/24h
interval, and (IV, V) were exposed to 6 Gy and 8 Gy of whole-body gamma
irradiation, respectively. The gene expression of MAPT and tau phosphorylation
increased in all irradiated groups but the gene expression of PKN not affected.
TGFβ% increased at dose of 2 GyX4 only. In addition, the cell cycle was arrested
in S phase. Micronucleus (MN) increased and cell proliferation decreased. In
conclusion, the dose and pattern of ionizing radiation do not affect the MAPT
and PKN gene expression, but TGF-β, p-tau, MN assay and cell proliferation are
significantly affected. The dose of 2 GyX4 showed distinctive effect. Repetitive
exposure may increase TGF-β%, which causes radio-resistance and, G2/M delay.
Thus, the cell cycle could be regulated in a different manner according to the
dose and pattern of irradiation.

Abstract
There is a growing need to uncover biomarkers of ionizing radiation exposure that leads to a better understanding of how exposures take place, including dose type, rate, and time since exposure. As one of the first organs to be exposed to external sources of ionizing radiation, skin is uniquely positioned in terms of model systems for radiation exposure study. The simultaneous evolution of both MS-based -omics studies, as well as in vitro 3D skin models, has created the ability to develop a far more holistic understanding of how ionizing radiation affects the many interconnected biomolecular processes that occur in human skin. However, there are a limited number of studies describing the biomolecular consequences of low-dose ionizing radiation to the skin. This review will seek to explore the current state-of-the-art technology in terms of in vitro 3D skin models, as well as track the trajectory of MS-based -omics techniques and their application to ionizing radiation research, specifically, the search for biomarkers within the low-dose range.

Hypersensitivity and Induced Radioresistance in Chinese Hamster Cells Exposed to Radiations with Different LET Values. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23126765. [PMID: 35743215 PMCID: PMC9223725 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23126765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 06/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
We study the impact of radiation LET on manifestation of HRS/IRR response in Chinese hamster cells ovary cells exposed to radiations used in radiotherapy. Earlier we have investigated this response to carbon ions (455 MeV/amu) in the pristine Bragg curve plateau and behind the Bragg peak, 60Co γ-rays, and 14.5 MeV neutrons. Now we present results of cytogenetic metaphase analysis in plateau-phase CHO-K1 cells irradiated with scanning beam protons (83 MeV) at doses < 1 Gy and additional data for 14.5 MeV neutrons. Dose curves for frequency of total chromosome aberrations (CA, protons), paired fragments (protons, neutrons), aberrant cells (neutrons) had typical HRS/IRR structure: HRS region (up to 0.1 and 0.15 Gy), IRR region (0.1−0.6 Gy and 0.15−0.35 Gy) for protons and neutrons, respectively, and regular dose dependence. Taken together with previous results, the data show that LET increase shifts the HRS upper border (from 0.08−0.1 Gy for γ-rays, protons and plateau carbons to 0.12−0.15 Gy for “tail” carbons and neutrons). The IRR regions shortens (0.52−0.4 γ-rays and protons, 0.25 plateau carbons, 0.2 Gy “tail” carbons and neutrons). CA level of IRR increases by 1.5−2.5 times for carbons as compared to γ-rays and protons. Outside HRS/IRR the yield of CA also enhanced with LET increase. The results obtained for different LET radiations suggest that CHO-K1 cells with G1-like CA manifested the general feature of the HRS/IRR phenomena.

Abstract
The cell cycle is a highly regulated and orchestrated mechanism of life that ensures successive division of a cell and precise replication of cellular contents. Cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), and CDK inhibitors are three of the most critical cell cycle regulatory proteins that enable the smooth progression of cells through the different phases of cell cycle before and after division. The alteration of cell cycle-related proteins causes aberration in the normal cell cycle process, which is one of the pivotal causes of cancer and other diseases. Targeting cell cycle components has proven to be a valuable therapeutic strategy and leads to the development of novel anticancer therapeutic. The purpose of this book chapter is to summarize the literature and discuss the clinical significance of cell cycle-related proteins in cancers and other diseases, with a focus on identifying potential targets as therapeutic interventions for cancer patients.
