Abstract:: |
Objective To investigate the role of the MDM2 in the process of carcinogenesis induced by γ-rays and its molecular mechanisms. Methods Animal model of radiation-induced leukemia was established by γ-irradiation.According to the histological and morphological results,mice tissues were divided into three groups:cancerization group,incancerization group and control group.Expression of MDM2 protein and mRNA in thymus/bone marrow was detected with Western blot and in situ hybridization (ISH),respectively.We also examined the protein phosphorylation level of MDM2 protein by immunoprecipitation (IP).PCR-SSCP was performed to detect gene mutation. Results A mice leukemia model was successfully established as verified by pathological findings and confirmed by transplantation test in nude mice.The protein expression in thymus/bone marrow in irradiation groups was significantly higher than that in controls ( P<0.05).But the expression level was not statistically different between the cancerization group and the incancerization group.The MDM2 was found to be hyperphosphorylated in the cancerization group as compared with other groups.No gene mutation was detected by SSCP/silver-staining assay in the tumor samples. Conclusion MDM2 may be involved in the development and progression of leukemia induced by γ-irradiation.The over-expression but not gene mutation may be responsible for malignant transformation induced by radiation.Phosphorylation is at least partly attributed to activation of MDM2. |
