Abstract:
The hR24L gene ORF was cloned from the total RNA of HeLa cells by RT-PCR method. There is no mutation of the hR24L gene in HeLa cells. Ion radiation significantly increased the expression of hR24L gene, and the sense hR24L enhanced and accelerated the cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase in HeLa cells. Besides, it should seem that the overexpression of hR24L gene could enhance the repair ability of DNA damage induced by ion radiation, and vice versa.

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
