Abstract: HepG2 cells were irradiated by 2 Gy and 4 Gy 60Co γ ray, the mRNA was extracted and real-time PCR was used to detect the changes of PIF1 mRNA, to explore whether PIF1 involved in DNA damaged respond after irradiation. The results showed that PIF1 gene expression level in HepG2 decreased slightly at first and then increased after different doses of 60Co γ ray, and the high expression continued about 12 h. PIF1 gene expression can be induced by ionizing radiation indicating its roles in DNA damage response, and the expression level is related to radiation doses and time.

Key words: PIF1 helicase, ionizing radiation, DNA damage and repair, real-time PCR
