Abstract
Radiotherapy is a common method to treat cancers, with the goal of maximizing the dose to tumors while minimizing the dose to normal tissues. Radioprotectors can reduce the toxicity to normal tissues during radiotherapy. Several plant-derived compounds can function as radioprotectors by scavenging free radicals. We investigated the radioprotective activity of interruptin C from the fern Cyclosorus terminans. The molecular mechanism of interruptin C’s activity in X-ray-irradiated cells was evaluated. Superoxide dismutase activity was examined to investigate the antioxidant enzyme activity. Clonogenic cell survival was also investigated following radiation exposure. DNA damage and cell cycle progression were detected using micronuclei formation assays. DNA repair after irradiation was analyzed in a γH2AX assay. The levels of the proteins related to the radioprotective responses were analyzed by Western blotting. Interruptin C increased the antioxidant enzyme activity and significantly decreased the DNA damage by reducing the γH2AX foci and micronucleus formation in irradiated MCF-10A normal breast and HaCaT human keratinocyte cells. The apoptotic protein levels decreased, whereas the antiapoptotic protein levels increased. Interruptin C pretreatment increased the survival rate of irradiated MCF-10A and HaCaT cells. Moreover, the compound did not promote the survival of MDA-MB-231 and Hs578T breast cancer cells. Therefore, interruptin C may exert radioprotective activity without enhancing cancer cell proliferation.
