CHAPTER 3<br />

RESULTS<br />

23±1.5% (Fig. 3.1.10, A and B). The survival of cells transfected with control shRNA plasmid<br />

was the same as unirradiated control cells.<br />

Fig.3.1.10 Effect of Rad52 and MLH1 on the growth and radioresistance of A549 cells which<br />

had been exposed to 5 fractions of 2Gy radiation. A549 cells were transfected with either MLH1<br />

or Rad52 ShRNA as described in “Materials and Methods”. (A) Clonogenic survival assay of<br />

A549 cells. Key; control, control unirradiated A549 cells. 5X2Gy, A549 cells exposed to 2 Gy<br />

of 60Co γ-irradiation daily over a period of 5 days. 5X2Gy + M, A549 cells transfected with<br />

MLH1 ShRNA and exposed to 2 Gy of 60 Co γ-irradiation daily over a period of 5 days. 5X2Gy +<br />

R, A549 cells transfected with Rad52 ShRNA and exposed to 2 Gy of 60 Co γ-irradiation daily<br />

over a period of 5 days. (B) Representative image of three independent experiments. Data<br />

represents means ± SE of three independent experiments; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with<br />

5X2Gy treatment group.<br />
