Fig. 3.1.1 Relative radioresistance of three cell line viz. MCF-7, INT 407 and A549. Data represents<br />

means ± SE of three independent experiments. Key; Lane 1, control unirradiated cells. Lane 2, 2 Gy<br />

acute dose ( single dose that was delivered in each fraction ) of 60 Co γ-irradiation Lane 3 2 Gy of<br />

60 Co γ-irradiation daily over a period of 5 days, Lane 4, 10 Gy acute (which is the sum total of all the<br />

fraction ) 60 Co γ-irradiation; 2000 cells/60 mm petriplate plated for this treatment group.<br />

3.1.2 Human Genome U-133 Plus 2.0 microarray data analysis.<br />

Having established that A549 was relatively more radioresistant, global expression analysis of<br />

54675 probe set using Human Genome U-133 Plus 2.0 microarray was performed in A549 cells.<br />

For microarray analysis, 4 h after irradiation was selected as the time point to monitor the early<br />

response of cells to irradiation and to identify differentially expressed early genes that mediate<br />

cellular events such as DNA repair and apoptosis.<br />
