Research Abstract

The overall goal of the present project has been to analyze mechanisms of heat-induced apoptotic cell death and radio-sensitization for better treatment of cancer. Toward this goal, we have accomplished the following progress.
1)We have clarified the involvement of ceramide-SAP/JNK pathway, and radio-sensitization process in heat-induced apoptotic cell death.
2)RT-PCR analysis of apoptosis-related genes revealed that the expression of c-myc gene was reduced in the process of cell death. The introduction of c-myc antisense oligonucleotides or the treatment of c-Myc inhibitor induced cell death.
3)Involvement and the role of DNA-PK in radio-sensitization by heat was evaluated using various repair deficient and knockout mutants of mammalian cells and DT40 chicken cells.
4)We found appearance of fragment of JNK, which were identified as cleaved products by Caspase 3 from INK.
