Abstract:: |
Objective To investigate the effect of ionizing radiation on the expression of transcription factor STAT3 target genes in the pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell line A549. Methods The expressions of VEGF, Bcl-2 and Survivin in A549 cells with or without STAT3 inhibition were detected by RT-PCR and/or Western blot 24 h after 2 or 4 Gy of γ-ray irradiation. Results After γ-ray irradiation with 2 or 4 Gy, the expression of VEGF and Survivin increased significantly. However, the expression of Bcl-2 was not affected by γ-ray irradiation. Furthermore, the increased expression of VEGF and Survivin induced by radiation was found to be inhibited after radiation-induced activation of STAT3 was blocked by AG490 inhibiter. Conclusions γ-ray irradiation could up-regulate the expression of Survivin and VEGF via activating STAT3. The increase of Survivin might partly inhibit the radiation-induced apoptosis of A549 cells, and the up-regulation of VEGF might contribute to the tumor angiogenesis. |
