Ionizingradiationisoneofthemosteffectivetoolsincancertherapy.Inapreviousstudy,wereportedthatproteintyrosinekinase(PTK)inhibitorsmodulatetheradiationresponsesinthehumanchronicmyelogenousleukemia(CML)celllineK562.Thereceptortyrosinekinaseinhibitor,genistein,delayedradiation-inducedcelldeath,whilenon-receptertyrosinekinaseinhibitor,herbimycinA(HMA)enhancesradiation-inducedapoptosis.Inthisstudy,wefocusedonthemodulationofradiation-inducedcelldeathbygenisteinandperformedPCR-selectsuppressionsubtractivehybridization(SSH)tounderstanditsmolecularmechanism.Weidentifiedhumanthymidinekinase1(TK1),whichiscellcycleregulatorygeneandconfirmedexpressionofTK1mRNAbyNorthernblotanalysis.ExpressionofTK1mRNAandTK1enzymaticactivitywereparallelintheirincreaseanddecrease.TK1isinvolvedinG1-Sphasetransitionofcellcycleprogression.Incellcycleanalysis,weshowedthatradiationinducedG2arrestinK562cellsbutitwasnotabletosustain.However,theadditionofgenisteintoirradiatedcellssustainedaprolongedG2arrestupto120h.Inaddition,theexpressionofcellcycle-relatedproteins,cyclinAandcyclinB1,providedtheevidencesofG1/SprogressionandG2-arrest,andtheirrelationshipwithTK1incellstreatedwithradiationandgenistein.TheseresultssuggestthattheactivationofTK1maybecriticaltomodulatetheradiation-inducedcelldeathandcellcycleprogressioninirradiatedK562cells.
