Objective To determine the levels of radiation-induced expressions of HIF-1α and Survivin in three human lymphoma cell lines with or without HIF-1α specific antagonist or HIF-1α siRNA transfection and to explore the possible mechanism of cell radioresistance.Methods Namalwa,Ramos,Raji cells were irradiated with X-rays with or without the combination of echinomycin (EC), a HIF-1α specific inhibitor, or transfection of HIF-1α siRNA. Then the expression levels of HIF-1α and Survivin proteins and mRNAs were determined by Western blot and real-time PCR, respectively.Results After irradiation, the expression level of HIF-1α protein was up-regulated at 10-20 h followed by up-regulation of survivin protein at 24 h (t=7.53-31.31,P<0.01) in three lymphoma cell lines. Radiation-induced up-expression of survivin protein was significantly reduced by either HIF-1α inhibition or EC treatment (t=7.21-32.81,P<0.01). However, radiation failed to induce up-expression of survivin at both mRNA and protein levels after transfection with HIF-1α siRNA.Conclusions HIF-1α-Survivin pathway is activated in human lymphoma cells after radiation, which might be involved in the cell radioresistance. |
