Fig. 4. Repair kinetics as determined by -H2AX foci in different treatment group of A549 cells at 15 min and 4 h after irradiation. Cells were fixed 15 min and 4 h after<br />

irradiation in 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized in 0.25% Triton X-100 and labeled with specific antibodies as described in Section 2. Each phospho-site antibody was<br />

indirectly labeled with Molecular Probe 488 secondary antibody (green) and cells were mounted with ProLong Gold antifede with DAPI (blue). The encircled area roughly<br />

represents cell nuclei as seen by DAPI staining. All images were captured using Carl Zeiss confocal microscope with the same exposure time. Representative image of three<br />

independent experiments is shown here; at least 100 cells per experiment were analyzed from three independent experiments. (For interpretation of the references to color<br />

in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of the article.)<br />

radioresistant non-small-cell lung cancer and HeLa cells<br />

also indicated that cell cycle signaling pathways, mismatch<br />

repair, homologous recombination were up-regulated<br />

[49,50]. In the current study, some of these genes were<br />

previously known to be associated with responsiveness<br />

to radiation, such as p21 and GADD45˛, but others were<br />

novel. These novel genes can be expected to be involved in<br />

radioresistance, but the precise function of each gene remains<br />

unclear; so further study is necessary to clarify the nature of<br />

associations.<br />

Microarray data had shown that p53 signaling pathway was<br />

up-regulated in A549 cells that had been exposed to fractionated
