Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the radiosensitivity of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) isolated from mice in vitro. METHODS: BMSCs was isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats and subsequently cultured in vitro. Third passage of BMSCs was exposed under ionizing radiation with various doses (0,4,8,10 Gy). Cell proliferation was detected using CCK-8 method and flow cytometry was applied to identify the cell apoptosis. Real-time PCR was used to measure the gene expression of Cyclin-D1 and Casepase-3 at 24 hour and 7 day. The difference between various treatment groups was analyzed with SPSS 20.0 software package. RESULTS: BMSCs were successfully isolated and cultured in vitro. Cell growth curve analysis indicated that BMSCs with 10 Gy treatment showed faster growth compared with the control group. Meanwhile, group with 10 Gy irradiation showed higher proportion of died cells and apoptotic cells than those treated with other doses. Significant up-regulation of Cyclin-D1 was found in group with 10 Gy irradiation at 24 hour (P<0.01) and 7 day (P<0.001).Up-regulation of Casepase-3 was only found at 24 hour (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: BMSCs of SD rats showed radioresistance following ionizing radiation in vitro.
