PURPOSE: Inhibition of growth in mammalian cells in response to damage or stress is known as cellular senescence. Increasing evidence suggests that double-strand breaks (DSB) commonly mediate cellular senescence. Recently, radiation exposure has been reported to induce premature senescence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated whether ionizing radiation (IR) at 4 Gy induces cellular senescence with DNA damage response in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). To determine alterations in gene expression on IR exposure, we have developed a DNA microarray analysis system that contains genes known to be involved in replicative senescence. RESULTS: The damage by IR exposure is shown to result in a variety of senescence-like phenotypes such as changes in cell morphology, decrease in cell proliferation, increase in senescence- associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining, and suppression of angiogenic activity. Moreover, the expression levels of several genes associated with cell cycle regulation are remarkably increased in IR-exposed endothelial cells. We found that IGFBP5 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5), PLAT (plasminogen activator), SNAI2 (snail homolog 2), JAG1 (jagged 1), SPRY4 (Sprouty homolog 4), and CD44 were upregulated, whereas CFB (complement factor B), VCAM1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule 1), AQP1 (aquaporin 1), LOXL1 (lysyl oxidase-like 1), and RBPMS (RNA-binding protein with multiple splicing) were down- regulated in both radiation-damaged and old cells. CONCLUSIONS: These results imply that the IR-induced phenotype may be enhanced by alterations in genes associated with senescence.
