Description

Objective: To analyse the cell proliferation, cell cycle and the expression of IL-3, IL-3Rα in Dami cells after exposure to 60Co γ rays. Methods: After Dami cells were exposed to 60Co γ rays, the cell cycle and proliferation of Dami cells were analyzed by means of MTT and flow cytometry. The IL-3 and the IL- 3Rα expressions were detected by RT-PCR at 24 h after irradiation. Results: The irradiated Dami cells showed dose-dependent proliferative inhibition and G0/G1 block. Expressions of IL-3 and IL-3Rα mRNA in Dami after irradiation at doses of 5, 10, and 15 Gy were significantly lower than those in normal Dami cells (P<0.05). Their expressions showed reverse correlation with the dose. Conclusions: γ rays irradiation change the cell cycle, inhibits cell proliferation, IL-3 and IL-3Rα mRNA expression, suggesting that the abnormal expressions of IL-3 and IL-3Rα in Dami cells are involved in the injury of hemopoiesis by different doses of 60Co γ ray irradiation.
