Fig. 7. Phosphorylation of ERK (pERK) and JNK (pJNK) in A549 cells at different time periods (h) after exposure to 1 Gy dose of -rays or carbon ion irradiation. Treated and<br />

untreated cells were immunoblotted and detected using anti-phospho ERK (panel A) or anti phospho JNK (panel B). One representative image of three independent experiments<br />

is shown here. Bar graph represents the relative pERK (panel A) and pJNK (panel B) band intensities plotted against time. The intensities of pERK/pJNK were obtained after<br />

dividing them with the respective loading control intensities and have been normalized for comparison. Data represents means ± SEM of three independent experiments.<br />

Fig. 8. Apoptosis in carbon irradiated A549 cells. (A) Apoptotic nuclei of A549 cells were visualized and quantified by using DAPI staining, 4 h after carbon or -rays<br />

irradiation (1 Gy). (B) Graph showing the percentage of cells with apoptotic nuclei. At least 100 cells per experiment were analyzed from three independent experiments. (C)<br />

Representative immunoblot image depicting upregulation of Bax, observed at various time periods (2, 3, 4 and 6 h) after carbon irradiation (1 Gy).
