Ionizing Radiation Affects Epigenetic Programming in Adolescent Mice

poster abstractHumans are exposed to low and mild doses of radiation frequently, ranging from the natural environment to medical procedures like x-ray and CT scans. Ionizing radiation of various doses has been known to potentially cause not only cellular but also genomic changes. Here, we demonstrate that epigenetics is also altered by the radiation. Epigenetics is a chemical coding above the gene, which plays critical roles in brain development, cognitive aberrations and other neurological impairments. How radiation, as an external environmental factor, causes epigenetic change is not understood. DNA methylation, key in epigenetics, including 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) have been shown to either suppress or activate gene transcription. To aid in elucidating the role in which radiation affects epigenetic outcomes, we examined the effects of radiation on both epigenetic and phenotypic markers within the hippocampus. In this study we treated, via x-ray C57BL/6 mice, postnatal day (P) 21 with various doses (2Gy-4.5Gy) of radiation coupled with varying frequencies (0.5 Gy x 4, 1.5 Gy x 3, or 4.5Gy x 1) during a 4-week period. We used immunohistochemistry staining with cell proliferation, transcription and epigenetic markers. We found loss of 5mC in the sub-granular layer of the dentate gyrus (DG) in the upper and lower arms. Likewise a loss of 5hmC in the sub-granular layer of the DG, as well as in the cornu Ammonis (CA) layers 1 and 2. There was also loss of a transcriptional activation marker within the DG of the hippocampus. Furthermore, decreased cell proliferation in the adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus was found. Exposure to ionizing radiation altered the normal epigenetic profile of the mice. Understanding the mechanism by which ionizing radiation affects epigenetic programming will provide insight into how to develop protection against the potentially harmful risks associated with radiation exposure

Ionizing Radiation Affects Epigenetic Programming in Young Adult Mice

Humans are exposed to low and mild doses of radiation frequently, ranging from the natural environment to medical procedures like x-ray and CT scans. Ionizing radiation of various doses has been known to cause not only cellular and genomic changes, but specific neurological systems such as the limbic system have been indicated to be particularly vulnerable. Here, we demonstrated that epigenetics is also altered by radiation. Epigenetics is a subtle chemical coding above the gene, which plays a critical role in brain development, and downstream can cause the onset of cognitive aberrations and other neurological impairments. How radiation as an external environmental factor causes epigenetic changes is not clearly understood. DNA methylation, including 5-methylcytosine (5M) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) have been shown to either suppress or activate gene transcription and as such are key epigenetic players. To elucidate the role of radiation in epigenetic outcomes, we examined epigenetic, phenotypic and transcriptional markers via immunohistochemistry, in the hippocampus and cortex. In this study C57BL/6 mouse (postnatal day 21 (P21)) began a 4-week radiation treatment of various doses totaling (2Gy-4.5Gy) via global head targeting CT exposure. We found a loss of 5M and 5-hmC as well as transcriptional markers within regions of the hippocampus and cortex. There was a significant decrease in cell proliferation in the hippocampus- specifically, in the region responsible for adult neurogenesis. The cingulate cortex (a region adjacent to the hippocampus) also exhibited dramatic alterations in several epigenetic and transcriptional markers, indicating the vulnerability of the limbic system in radiation exposure. Understanding the mechanism by which ionizing radiation affects epigenetic programming will provide insight into the transmissibility of external factors to biological systems. Additionally, this work can aid the development of protective strategies against the harmful risks associated with radiation exposure

Rootstock effects on fruit yield and quality of BRS Tainá seedless table grape in Semi-Arid tropical conditions.

In viticulture, choosing the most suitable rootstock for a specific scion cultivar is an efficient and cost-effective way to increase yield and enhance the physicochemical characteristics of the fruit. The objective of this study was to evaluate the agronomic performance of the ‘BRS Tainá’ grapevine on different rootstocks under the conditions of the Sub-Middle São Francisco Valley. The main experimental factor consisted of eight rootstocks (IAC 313, IAC 572, IAC 766, 101-14 MgT, Paulsen 1103, Ramsey, SO4, and Teleki 5C), arranged in randomized blocks with four replicates. The experiment was conducted over four production cycles, from 2021 to 2023, in a commercial crop area in Petrolina, PE, Brazil. There were significant effects of rootstocks for the yield and number of bunches per plant, as well as berry length and firmness. ‘BRS Tainá’ achieved the highest yield (22.2 kg per plant) when grafted onto the Paulsen 1103 rootstock, which was superior to the yield on 101-14 MgT, IAC 313, and IAC 572 rootstocks. The highest number of bunches (88) was obtained with ‘BR Tainá’ grafted on Paulsen 1103, while the lowest number (63) was obtained on IAC 572; both these rootstocks were not significantly different from the other rootstocks. For all scion–rootstock combinations, the mean values for soluble solid (SS) content, titratable acidity (TA), and the SS/TA ratio were similar to those previously described for ‘BRS Tainá’, meeting the commercialization standard. The results for the yield and number of bunches per plant indicate the suitability of grafting ‘BRS Tainá’ on Paulsen 1103 under the semi-arid tropical conditions of the São Francisco Valle
