Abstract:
:Organisms exposed to ionizing radiation (IR) undergo increases in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are determinant components in the induction of apoptosis. Sensitive to apoptosis gene (SAG) encodes a redox-inducible and apoptosis-protective antioxidant protein. This report demonstrates that the modulation of SAG expression in cultured cells regulates IR-induced apoptosis. A protective role for SAG against IR-induced apoptosis was found in U937 cells transfected with SAG cDNA. A significant decrease in the endogenous production of ROS was also observed in SAG over-expressing cells, compared to control cells, exposed to 2Gy γ-irradiation. These results suggest that SAG plays an important role in regulating IR-induced apoptosis, presumably by maintaining the cellular redox status. Because SAG is over-expressed in many human cancers, targeting SAG expression may have therapeutic value in cancer treatment. Transfection of the pancreatic cancer cell line PC3 with SAG small interfering RNA markedly attenuated the expression of SAG, augmenting their susceptibility to IR-induced apoptosis. The knockdown of SAG expression by RNA interference combined with radiotherapy may be a potential method for radiosensitization.
