We examined sequential changes in post-irradiated peripheral blood T cells taken from normal volunteers, by using targeted Atlas cDNA Expression Arrays and mitochondrial membrane potential assay. At 1 and 3 hours after 5 Gy irradiation, changes of gene expression were examined by targeted Atlas cDNA Expression Arrays using Apoptosis Array. The Atlas Human Apoptosis Array includes 205 key genes that are known to control apoptosis, including extracellular and cytoplasmic effectors. Concerning Fas, no significant changes of spot intensities were identified between irradiated T cells and non-irradiated ones at both 1 h and 3 h after 5 Gy irradiation. Caspase families, including caspases 9 and 3 also showed no changes between these two groups. An apoptosis regulator bclw showed a remarkable decrease in irradiated T cells. These results suggested that irradiation induced direct apoptosis of T cells by changing the membrane potential of mitochondria. Using a CCD camera-equipped fluorescence microscope and MitoCapture, a mitochondrial membrane potential indicator, we demonstrated 5 Gy radiation induced loss of membrane potential, i.e., an early stage of apoptosis, in human peripheral blood T cells at 10 hours after irradiation.
