Apoptose radio-induite: une nouvelle approche par microspectroscopie infrarouge
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: to characterize radiation-induced apoptosis in human cells using Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (FT-IRM) as a new analytical tool. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Normal human circulating lymphocytes were given a gamma ray dose of 6 Gy, or treated with t-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOH). HaCaT keratinocytes were given a dose of 20 Gy. Cells were deposited on ZnS windows for infrared spectral acquisition 2 days and 2 h after irradiation and 2 h after t-BuOH treatment. Apoptosis was simultaneously assessed by flow cytometry analysis of cells displaying annexin-V-positive staining. RESULTS: The flow cytometry study showed that about 90% of sham and irradiated cells were annexin-V negative 2 h after irradiation. Two days after irradiation, 68% of lymphocytes and 76% of HaCaT cells were apoptotic, as well as 43% of lymphocytes treated with t-BuOH. In infrared spectra of these apoptotic cells, qualitative and quantitative changes were observed. In the 960-1245 and 1690-1720 cm-1 ranges, mainly attributed to nucleic acids, changes corresponding to conformational changes in DNA were associated with a decrease in the amount of detectable DNA. Conformational changes were also observed in secondary protein structure, in particular an increase in the amount of beta structures. These DNA and protein changes were associated with an increase in the detectable amount of lipids in apoptotic HaCaT cells only. Two hours after irradiation, depending on the dose and (or) the cell type, qualitative and quantitative changes were observed in the IR spectra in the amide I and amide II bands, mainly attributed to proteins. These changes were associated with a significant decrease in the 1700-1750 cm-1 range, mainly attributed to the -C=O ester groups of DNA and phospholipids, in the irradiated HaCaT cells only. CONCLUSION: Our results are in agreement with biochemical published data on radiation-induced apoptosis, and show that DNA is the first cellular target of radiation-induced apoptosis, which, however, also requires conformational changes and synthesis of cell proteins. They also demonstrate that FT-IRM may be useful for assessing the early radiation damage at the molecular level in human cells.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
