摘要
Thorium-232 (Th-232), a naturally-occurring actinide has gained significant attention due to its immense potential as a nuclear fuel for advanced reactors. Understanding the biological effects of Th-232 would significantly impact its efficient utilization with adequate health protection. Humans administered with Th-232 (thorotrast patients) or experimental animal models showed that liver is one of the major sites of Th-232 accumulation. Present study reports cellular effects of Th-232-nitrate in a human-derived liver cell (HepG2). Results showed that the low concentration of Th-232 (0.1-10 I'M) induced proliferation of HepG2 cells which was inhibited by the pre-treatment of cells with neutralizing antibody against insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-1R). Consistently, Th-232 treatment was found to increase the phosphorylated level of IGF-1R-associated molecule, IRSI which serves to activate PI3K and MAPK signaling pathways. Pre-treatment with specific inhibitors of PI3K (LY294002) or JNK-MAPK (SP600125) significantly abrogated the cytoproliferative effect of Th-232. Immunofluorescence analysis showed increased levels of phospho-Akt and phospho-p1K, downstream kinases of IGF-1R, in Th-232-treated HepG2 cells suggesting the role of IGF-IR-mediated signaling in Th-232-stimulated cell proliferation. The cell cycle analysis showed that Th-232 increased S and G2-M cell fractions concomitant to the increase of cyclin-E level. Thus, the present investigation highlights the role of IGF-IR-mediated signaling in the cytoproliferative effect of Th-232 in human liver cells at low concentration. (c) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
