title: [X-ray irradiation stimulates the mitochondrial-dependent generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in K562 leukemia cells].
abstract: The dynamics of radiation-induced oxidative and nitrative stress, the source of oxygen and nitrogen reactive species in cancer cell line K562 and the role of mitochondria in these processes have been studied. The study was performed using K562 leukemia cell cultures. Intracellular concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitrogen oxide, and the mitochondrial potential were analyzed after 15, 30 min, 1, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h after irradiation by X-rays at a dose of 4 and 12 Gy. Radiation-induced generation of ROS in K562 cells has two time peaks, the first peak was recorded after 30 min and the second 24 h after exposure to X-rays. Mitochondria are responsible for the increase of the ROS concentration in the period of 12-48 h after irradiation. The increase in ROS concentrations is accompanied by the increase of the mitochondrial potential. The intracellular concentration of nitric oxide begins to grow 8 h after exposure. The increase in the mitochondria-dependent ROS production is accompanied by the increase in the intracellular concentration of nitric oxide.
