    Faxitron Bioptics cellrad x ray irradiator
    Effect of the POLRMT inhibitor IMT1 on radiation-induced apoptosis. (A, B) Apoptosis was measured by Annexin V/PI flow cytometry in A549 cells pretreated for 2 days with DMSO or 0.5 μM IMT1, irradiated with 5 Gy or left un-irradiated (0 Gy), then incubated under the same conditions and analyzed 5 days post-irradiation. One representative plot of three independent experiments is shown in (A). Apoptosis was defined as the sum of early (Annexin V+/PI-) and late (Annexin V+/PI+) apoptotic cells (B). Data and bars represent the mean ± SD for three independent experiments. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test; ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001. n.s., not significant. (C) Western blot of BCL-2 (upper panel), BAX (middle panel) and β-actin as a loading control (lower panel) in untreated A549 cells, A549 cells treated with 0.5 μM IMT1 alone, A549 cells irradiated with 5 Gy without addition of IMT1, and A549 cells treated with 0.5 μM IMT1 <t>plus</t> <t>X-ray</t> irradiation (5 Gy), collected at the same time points as the those in Annexin V/PI assay (A and B).

(A, B) Apoptosis was measured by Annexin V/PI flow cytometry in A549 cells pretreated for 2 days with DMSO or 0.5 μM IMT1, irradiated with 5 Gy or left un-irradiated (0 Gy), then incubated under the same conditions and analyzed 5 days post-irradiation. One representative plot of three independent experiments is shown in (A). Apoptosis was defined as the sum of early (Annexin V+/PI-) and late (Annexin V+/PI+) apoptotic cells (B). Data and bars represent the mean ± SD for three independent experiments. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test; ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001. n.s., not significant. (C) Western blot of BCL-2 (upper panel), BAX (middle panel) and β-actin as a loading control (lower panel) in untreated A549 cells, A549 cells treated with 0.5 μM IMT1 alone, A549 cells irradiated with 5 Gy without addition of IMT1, and A549 cells treated with 0.5 μM IMT1 plus X-ray irradiation (5 Gy), collected at the same time points as the those in Annexin V/PI assay (A and B).

(A) Representative cell cycle distribution histograms of A549 cells treated with DMSO or 0.5 μM IMT1 in un-irradiated steady states (0 Gy) at the indicated time points (2 upper panels) and those at 0, 12 and 24 h after 5 Gy X-ray irradiation (2 lower panels).

Data represent the mean and SD of three independent experiments. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test. In each condition and each time point in the analyses, there were no significant differences in the proportion of cells in G1 phase, S phase and G2/M phase between IMT1-treated and untreated cells.

Three independent experiments were performed. (D) Quantified mitochondrial maximal respiration capacity in untreated A549 cells, cells treated with radiation alone (X-ray (5 Gy)), and cells treated with 0.5 μM IMT1 plus radiation (X-ray (5 Gy)). Each data point represents a mean ± SD ( n = 3). Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test; ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001. (E) Time course of experimental procedures for testing whether replacing glucose in cell culture medium with galactose can rescue radiosensitivity. After culturing the cells for more than 3 weeks in regular culture medium containing 25 mM glucose or in no glucose medium with 10 mM galactose, IMT1 was added. Two days later, the cells were either X-irradiated or un-irradiated and subjected to the colony formation assay. (F and G) Survival of the A549 (F) and HeLa (G) cells treated with 0.1 μM IMT1 plus X-irradiation (3Gy) in glucose medium or galactose medium, which was normalized to survival of un-irradiated control. Columns and bars represent the mean and SD of three independent experiments, respectively. Statistical significance was determined using Student’s t -test; *** P < 0.001.
