摘要
Experiments were designed to examine the effects of radiation dose-rate and cycloheximide on expression of cytoskeletal and matrix elements in Syrian hamster embryo cells. Results here demonstrated little effect of dose-rate for fission-spectrum neutrons when comparing expression of alpha-tubulin or fibronectin genes. Effects of cycloheximide, however, revealed several findings: (a) Cycloheximide repressed accumulation of alpha-tubulin following exposure to high dose-rate neutrons or gamma-rays. (b) Cycloheximide did not affect accumulation of mRNA for actin genes. (c) Cycloheximide abrogated the moderate induction of fibronectin-mRNA which occurred following exposure to gamma-rays and high dose-rate neutrons. These results suggest a role for labile proteins in the maintenance of alpha-tubulin and fibronectin mRNA accumulation following exposure to ionizing radiation.
