Figure Lengend Snippet: Role of CCNG1 in radiation-induced hepatocyte damage. (A) BRL-3A cells were transfected with empty vector or siCcng1, cultured with or without exogenous interleukin (IL)-6, and then irradiated with a single 10-Gy electron beam. Four hours after irradiation (IR), the apoptotic rate and cell cycle distribution were detected using flow cytometry. (B) Western blot analysis showing CCNG1, γH2AX, TP53, and GAPDH in BRL-3A cells in these 4 groups. (C) Changes in γH2AX and GAPDH in BRL-3A cells transfected with empty vector or siCcng1 at various time points after a single 10-Gy electron beam IR. (D) Western blot analysis showing CCNG1, γH2AX, and GAPDH expression in BRL-3A cells transfected with empty vector or siTp53 and cultured with or without exogenous IL-6 4 hours after a single 10-Gy electron beam IR. (E) Western blot analysis showing CCNG1, γH2AX, TP53, and GAPDH expression in primary hepatocytes isolated from IR rats treated with placebo, RUX, or TOF (n = 5). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) or Student’s t test; *, P < .05; ⁎⁎ , P < .01; ⁎⁎⁎ , P < .001; ns, nonsignificant.
