The radioresistance biological function of the SCF/kit signaling pathway is mediated by the zinc-finger transcription factor Slug.

Abstract excerpt

Radiation-induced destruction of the hematopoietic system is the primary cause of death based on the findings that transfer of normal bone marrow cells prevents death from lethal irradiation. The stem cell factor-c-kit signaling pathway (SCF/c-kit) has been previously implicated in the hematopoietic recovery which prevents death from lethal irradiation, but the molecular mechanisms that mediate this biological...
