The Role of Gap Junction Communication and Oxidative Stress in the Propagation of Toxic Effects among High-Dose α-Particle-Irradiated Human Cells
10 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
We investigated the roles of gap junction communication and oxidative stress in modulating potentially lethal damage repair in human fibroblast cultures exposed to doses of α particles or γ rays that targeted all cells in the cultures. As expected, α particles were more effective than γ rays at inducing cell killing; further, holding γ-irradiated cells in the confluent state for several hours after irradiation...
