Fibroblast cells derived from nevoid basal carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) patients show increased levels of DNA synthesis after X-ray irradiation. Genes, whose expression is modulated in association with the DNA synthesis induction, were searched by using PCR-based mRNA differential display analysis in one of the NBCCS cell lines, NBCCS1 cells. Decreased levels of SMT3A gene expression were found in X-ray-irradiated NBCCS1 cells. This decrease was also shown by RT-PCR analysis in another cell line, NBCCS3 cells. In addition to NBCCS cells, normal fibroblast cells showed the DNA synthesis induction after X-ray irradiation when they were treated with antisense oligonucleotides (AO) for SMT3A. However, treatment of normal fibroblasts with the random oligonucleotides (RO) resulted in decreased levels of DNA synthesis after X-ray irradiation. Thus, down-regulation of SMT3A gene expression may be involved in the DNA synthesis induction after X-ray irradiation in the NBCCS cells at least tested.
源自痣样基底细胞癌综合征(NBCCS)患者的成纤维细胞在X射线照射后显示出DNA合成水平增加。在其中一个NBCCS细胞系NBCCS1细胞中,通过基于PCR的mRNA差异显示分析,搜索了其表达与DNA合成诱导相关而被调节的基因。在X射线照射的NBCCS1细胞中发现SMT3A基因表达水平降低。在另一个细胞系NBCCS3细胞中,RT-PCR分析也显示了这种降低。除了NBCCS细胞外,正常成纤维细胞在用针对SMT3A的反义寡核苷酸(AO)处理后,在X射线照射后也显示出DNA合成诱导。然而,用随机寡核苷酸(RO)处理正常成纤维细胞导致X射线照射后DNA合成水平降低。因此,至少在所测试的NBCCS细胞中,SMT3A基因表达的下调可能参与了X射线照射后的DNA合成诱导。
