At 1, 2 and 3 months post-exposure, irrespective of treatment, irradiated animals never regained the same weight as controls and weighed some 20% less at 3 months.
Cells grew just as well around the peptide-impregnated samples, irrespective of when they were irradiated, the team reports online this week in Nature Materials.
Mean values±s.e.m. of independent experiments for non-irradiated (n=6), 6 h irradiated (n=4), 24 h irradiated (n=5) and 48 h irradiated (n=3) cells are shown.
Whereas neither HOTAIR expression nor passage number had an impact on the correlation coefficient in ovarian cancer cell lines, early passage (multipotent) MSCs (irrespective of whether they had been irradiated or not) showed a much stronger association with the 67-CpG HOTAIR signature than higher passage (senescent) MSCs (from the same individuals).
p53 staining was increased, although weak, in irradiated non-neoplastic breast (12% irradiated; 4% nonirradiated); however, irradiated CIS had less p53 staining when compared with control CIS (3% irradiated; 38% nonirradiated).
On the other hand, irradiated mice explored less frequently the lit compartment of the dark-light box test irrespective of wheel running, suggesting that irradiation per se induced anxiety as well.
In the male gametes derived from the pollen grains irradiated at 10 80 Gy, γH2AX foci (as an indicator of DSBs) were not detected in anaphase, telophase or sperm cells, irrespective of whether they contained chromosomal aberrations (Fig. 4, Table 2).
"My internal organs have been irradiated.
"Unfortunately," he said, "our residents were irradiated".
