Popis: A major issue in radiation and space biology is whether gene expression levels are altered in cells exposed to gravity-changing stress. In the present study, genes up- or down-regulated in radiation-sensitive human RSa cells cultured under gravity-changing conditions, were identified using a PCR-based mRNA differential display method. Exposure of cells to gravity-changing stress was performed by free-fall with a drop-shaft facility. Among the candidates for gravity-changing stress-responsive genes obtained by the differential display analysis, the translocation-associated membrane protein (TRAM) and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDH-A) genes were confirmed by Northern blotting analysis to exhibit early increased expression. Thus, TRAM and LDH-A were found to be candidates for the genes which play a role in the cellular response to gravity-changing stress. TRAM is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress protein, therefore, it is also suggested that ER is a candidate for cellular organs sensitive to gravity-changing stress.
