ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of pre-low-dose irradiation followed by gallic acid (GA) on cell viability and cellular energetic state of leukemic K562 and K562/Dox cells. The cells were irradiated with 0.02, 0.05, and 0.1 Gy of X-rays. For determining cell viability, pre-low-dose irradiation was followed by 10 or 100 µM GA at 24 h post-irradiation, and the cell viability was then determined at 48 h post-irradiation. For cellular energetic state, pre-low-dose irradiation was followed by 10 or 100 µM GA at 1.5 h post-irradiation and the mitochondrial activity, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), and ATP level were determined at 3 h post-irradiation. The % cell viability was significantly decreased in both cells that were irradiated with X-rays followed by treatment with 10 or 100 µM GA at 24 h post-irradiation, when compared with control group. However, this did not happen when compared with GA alone without any pre-low-dose irradiation. The mitochondrial activity had significantly decreased in 10 µM GA-treated K562 cells and the mitochondrial activity, ΔΨm, and ATP levels had significantly decreased in 10 µM GA-treated K562/Dox cells after irradiation to X-rays when compared with GA alone group. In addition, the ΔΨm and ATP levels was significantly decreased in only 100 µM GA-treated K562/Dox cells, but was not decreased in 100 µM GA-treated K562 cells after exposure to X-rays. These findings suggest that pre-low-dose irradiation followed by GA could not kill K562 and K562/Dox cells, but could improve cellular energetic damage of GA effects possibly through mitochondrial impairment.
