摘要: This in vitro study evaluated the detrimental effect of acute gamma (γ)-irradiation on rat immature hippocampal neurons. Rat neurons (0.5 day vitro) were irradiated with 0~4 Gy γ-rays. Cytotoxicity was analyzed using a lactate dehydrogenase release assay at 24 h after γ-irradiation. Radiation-induced cytotoxicity increased dose-dependent manner. Pre-treatments pro-apoptotic caspase inhibitors and anti-oxidative substances significantly blocked γ-irradiation-induced The results suggest that caspase-dependent γ-rays cultured may be caused by oxidative stress.
