Dose- and time-dependent changes in gene expression in human glioma cells after low radiation doses.

We have used DNA microarrays to identify changes in gene expression in cells of the radioresistant human glioma cell lines T98G and U373 after low radiation doses (0.2-2 Gy). Using Bayesian linear models, we have identified a set of genes that respond to low doses of radiation; furthermore, a hypoth...

description We have used DNA microarrays to identify changes in gene expression in cells of the radioresistant human glioma cell lines T98G and U373 after low radiation doses (0.2-2 Gy). Using Bayesian linear models, we have identified a set of genes that respond to low doses of radiation; furthermore, a hypothesis-driven approach to data analysis has allowed us to identify groups of genes with defined non-linear dose responses. Specifically, one of the cell lines we have examined (T98G) shows increased radiosensitivity at low doses (low-dose hyper-radiosensitivity, HRS); thus we have also assessed sets of genes whose dose response mirrors this survival pattern. We have also investigated a time course for induction of genes over the period when the DNA damage response is expected to occur. We have validated these data using quantitative PCR and also compared genes up-regulated in array data to genes present in the polysomal RNA fraction after irradiation. Several of the radioresponsive genes that we describe code for proteins that may have an impact on the outcome of irradiation in these cells, including RAS homologues and kinases involved in checkpoint signaling, so understanding their differential regulation may suggest new ways of altering radioresistance. From a clinical perspective these data may also suggest novel targets that are specifically up-regulated in gliomas during radiotherapy treatments.
