Abstract:: |
Objective To investigate the alterations of INK4A gene and protein in the leukemia model of mice induced by 60Co γ-ray irradiation. Methods BALB/c mice were irradiated 4 times weekly with 60Co γ-ray irradiation to establish the animal model of lymphocyte leukemia, and the total absorbed dose was 7.0 Gy. PCR was used to amplify exons 1 and 2 of INK4A gene and to detect the homozygous deletion. The occurrence of methylation in the 5'CpG island was studied with methylation sensitive enzyme PCR. PCR-SSCP-silver staining technique was used to detect the mutation. The expression of P16 protein was detected with Western blot. Results In 21 cases of leukemia model tissues, there were 5 cases of depletion of the exon 2 of INK4A gene, and 4 cases of methylation in the priming domain of the exon 1, 11 cases of protein expression decreased. Conclusions The decrease in p16 expression might participate in the radiation- induced tumorigenesis. The homozygous deletion and methylation are the main causes of inactivation of INK4A gene in mice. |
