Objective:To investigate the effect of X-irradiation on Adhesion molecules and their related biological characteristics of Human Lung.Methods:A549 cells were irradiated with varying doses of X-rays.MTT assay was employed to evaluate the effects of X-irradiation on the proliferative inhibition of A549 cells.The immunocytochemical method was employed to analyze the protein expression levels of E-cadherin and β-catenin.The transwell chambers were employed to evaluate the invasion of A549 cells.Results:X-irradiation could inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner.The protein expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin in A549 were higher than that in control group(P<0.05).And the cell invasions were lower than that in control group(P<0.05).The expression of E-cadherin
β-catenin and cell invasions showed a direct correlation with the dose.Conclusion:Up-regulating the expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin on A549 cells
which enhanced the adhesion between cells and depressed the invasion.That may be the mechanism of X-irradiation inhibiting the metastasis of Human Lung Adenocarcinoma Cell line.
