Extracellular Recombinant Annexin II Confers UVC-Radiation Resistance and Increases the Bcl-xL to Bax Protein Ratios in Human UVC-Radiation-Sensitive Cells
2011
In this study, we found that refractoriness to ultraviolet (UVC) light-induced cell death was increased in UVC-radiation-sensitive cells derived from Cockayne syndrome patients when the cells were precultured in medium supplemented with recombinant annexin II (rANX II). In CS3BES cells, an immortal cell line derived from Cockayne syndrome patients, the rANX II supplementation-induced UVC-radiation resistance was suppressed by treatment with an anti-annexin II antibody and EGTA. The amount of biotinylated annexin II on the cell surface increased in the rANX II-supplemented cells but did not increase in the cells that were cotreated with rANX II and EGTA. The capacity to remove UVC-radiation-damaged DNA, (6-4) photoproducts and cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, was the same in cells that were precultured with rANX II and in control cells that did not receive rANX II supplementation. The rANX II supplementation-induced UVC-radiation resistance was also observed in nucleotide excision repair-deficient cells and ...
