[FTIR spectroscopic analysis of HeLa cell irradiated by low-energy ions].

In the present paper, low-energy N+ ions produced by low-energy ionic radiometer were used to simulate low-energy ions in astrospace implanting HeLa cell. Then, the effect and mechanism of low-energy ion on the cell were studied with FTIR spectroscopic analysis. In this study, low-energy ions were produced and accelerated in vacuum, and cells would be affected by vacuum when they were implanted by low-energy ions, so mineral oil was used to protect cells from water evaporation. Cells were collected after being implanted, then the change in the content and constructional form in cellular macromolecule with infrared spectrometry. Result indicated that the spectroscopic peak position of differently worked cells was obviously different as compared to the control cell (3300 cm(-1)). Spectroscopic peak position of all samples except implanting 5 x 10(14) N+ x cm(-2) removed to longer wavelength, and the peak position in vacuum of 2 x 10(15) N+ x cm(-2) sample moved to 3420 cm(-1). In addition, the 1378 and 2360 cm(-1) spectroscopic peak positions in control cell all moved to longer wavelength in every worked group. In a word, FTIR spectroscopic analysis indicates that low-energy ion implantation could arouse change in nucleic acid or protein in HeLa cell.

[Raman spectra study on radiation damage in EC9706 cells by 60Cogamma-rays].

Raman spectrum was used to study the structure and content of protein, nucleic acid and fat, while EC9706 cells irradiated by 60Co gamma-ray were cultivated for 24 h. The results showed that for spectrum intensity and frequency deviation, there were big differences between each exposure group and control group. For the 1 244 cm(-1) peak of amide III, beta folder changed to disordered conformations in the middle dose (4, 5Gy) groups. The 1 341 cm(-1) peak of v (the indole ring of Trp) was red-shifted in every dose group. There was a 2-3 cm(-1) red shift at the 782 cm(-1) peak in the big dose groups (7, 8Gy). It was showed that the non-hydrogenation of v(s)(PO2-) was strengthened due to big dose gamma-rays radiation. There was a 4 cm(-1) blue shift at the 1 446 cm(-1) peak of delta (CH2, CH3). It maybe resulted from 60Co gamma-rays' damage to the film of EC9706 cells. The preferable dose of 60Co gamma-rays may be found by analyzing the variety of the above-mentioned peaks in some dose groups.

[Absorption spectrum study of HeLa cells treated with vacuum and low-energy ions implantation].

Mineral oil was selected to protect HeLa cells from water evaporation during low-energy ions implantation in the present paper. Then, HeLa cells having been treated with vacuum and low-energy N+ ions implantation were used to collect ultraviolet absorption spectrum by spectrophotometer. Analytical results indicated that HeLa cells had some characteristic absorption peaks near 202 and 260 nm, respectively. And then the study also found: (1) The spectral intensity increased with the vacuum treatment time. In addition, the effect of vacuum on cellular spectrum was greater than that of mineral oil. (2) The influence of low energy N+ ions on absorption spectrum was far more than that of vacuum. (3) The spectral intensity increased with the implantation dose. According to these results, the effect of low-energy N+ ions implantation and vacuum on tumorous cells (HeLa cells), especially on the molecular configuration and component of tumorous cells (HeLa cells) was discussed. In a word, this study provides a basis for further research on the functionary mechanism of low-energy ions implantation on biomaterial.
