Institute of Aerospace Medicine Researcher Has Published New Study Findings on Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (DNA Damage and Inflammatory Response of p53 Null H358 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells to X-Ray Exposure Under Chronic Hypoxia).

A new study published by researchers at the Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Cologne, Germany, explores the impact of chronic hypoxia on non-small cell lung cancer cells exposed to X-rays. The study found that chronic hypoxia increased the radioresistance of the cancer cells, affecting cell survival, DNA damage, cell cycle distribution, cytokine secretion, and gene expression. Despite the absence of functional p53, the cells exhibited radioresistance related to various cellular processes under chronic hypoxia. This research sheds light on the complex interactions between hypoxia, DNA damage, and inflammatory responses in non-small cell lung cancer cells. [Extracted from the article]
