Ionising radiation (IR) affects cellular and tissue function. However, the biological effects and interactions induced by IR are unclear. The aim of this study was to decipher the proteomic patterns that influence these pathways. The proteomes of Arabidopsis thaliana roots and rosettes were analysed in response to sub-lethal IR doses (0, 10, and 40 Gy). For each dose, the dynamic response was observed at different time points (2, 24 and 72 h). To quantitatively measure the effect of IR on the proteome, total proteins were extracted and subjected to 2-DE, and the changes in the 2-DE protein profiles were analysed. Statistical analysis revealed a total of 172 proteins (145 in leaves and 27 in roots) that were differentially expressed. These proteins were subsequently analysed by MALDI-TOF/TOF MS and comparative database analysis, and 144 (118 in leaves and 26 in roots) proteins were identified. The changes in the protein profile were quantitatively more significant for the 40 Gy dose than for the 10 Gy dose. In addition, specific functional groups of proteins were identified based on the consistency of the dose- and time-responses. The molecular mechanisms involved in the response to IR and a comparison of the observed responses are discussed.

Plants will form the basis of artificial ecosystems in space exploration and the creation of bases on other planets. Astrophysical factors, such as ionizing radiation (IR), magnetic fields (MF) and gravity, can significantly affect the growth and development of plants beyond Earth. However, to date, the ways in which these factors influence plants remain largely unexplored.

Ionizing radiation induces various types of DNA damage, and the reparability and lethal effects of DNA damage differ depending on its spatial density. Elucidating the structure of radiation-induced clustered DNA damage and its repair processes will enhance our understanding of the lethal impact of ionizing radiation and advance progress toward precise therapeutics. Previously, we developed a method to directly visualize DNA damage using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and classified clustered DNA damage into simple base damage clusters (BDCs), complex BDCs and complex double-strand breaks (DSBs).

: CSCs are critical drivers of the tumor and stem cell phenotypes of glioblastoma (GBM) cells. Chromatin modifications play a fundamental role in driving a GBM CSC phenotype. The goal of this study is to further our understanding of how stem cell-driving events control changes in chromatin architecture that contribute to the tumor-propagating phenotype of GBM.
