Many genes have been found to associate with the radioresistance of tumor cells, however, the precise mechanism of these genes have not been elucidated. This paper was to analyze the differential expressions of DNA repair genes in esophageal carcinoma cells at different time after X-ray irradiation, and to investigate the role of these DNA repair genes in radiation resistance. Methods: Esophageal cancer parental cells Seg-1 were treated with continuous 2 Gy of fractionated irradiation until the total dose reached 60 Gy to establish the radioresistant cell line Seg-1R. Total RNA was extracted from each cell line at 0, 8, and 24 h after irradiation. Illumine Human-6 V3 microarray was used to identify differentially expressed genes between parental and radioresistant cells. Ten genes involved in DNA repair were obtained and their expressions at different time points after irradiation were analyzed by Gene Ontology analysis. Results: Ten DNA repair associated genes were found to be differentially expressed. Three of these genes, SLK, HMGB1, and PMS1, were not only differentially expressed between parental and radioresistant cell lines, but also expressed differently at different time points after irradiation in the same cell line. Conclusions: PMS1 may be an important factor involved in the mechanism of radioresistance of esophageal carcinoma cells.展开更多
