Ruggiero M, Casamassima F, Magnelli L, Pacini S, Pierce JH, Greenberger JS, Chiarugi VP. Source Lab. of Mol. Biol., Univ. of Firenze, Italy. Abstract We hypothesized that resistance to ionizing radiations accompanying neoplastic transformation caused by some oncogenes was due to common biochemical pathways affecting the mechanism of mitogenic signal transduction. In order to verify this hypothesis, we studied the formation of mitogenic second messengers in cells transformed by oncogenes that induce radioresistance. We observed an increase of diacylglycerol which activates protein kinase C, an increase of phosphatidylcholine metabolism, with a concomitant decrease of inositol lipid metabolism. Our data show that sensitivity to ionizing radiations was inversely related to the intracellular level of diacylglycerol; study of signalling alterations in spontaneous tumors could provide predictive indications about the responsiveness of neoplasia to radiation therapy.

Abstract

Ruggiero M, Casamassima F, Magnelli L, Pacini S, Pierce JH, Greenberger JS, Chiarugi VP. Source Lab. of Mol. Biol., Univ. of Firenze, Italy. Abstract We hypothesized that resistance to ionizing radiations accompanying neoplastic transformation caused by some oncogenes was due to common biochemical pathways affecting the mechanism of mitogenic signal transduction. In order to verify this hypothesis, we studied the formation of mitogenic second messengers in cells transformed by oncogenes that induce radioresistance.
