How can you use “ionizing” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • B7-1) on tumor cells [ 45 ] . Radiation has been shown to increase the expression of MHC class I and II molecules in tumor cell lines [ 46 47 ] . Thus, the tissue damage signals evoked by ionizing radiation may trigger the activation and infiltration of antigen-presenting cells, in particular dendritic cells [ 38 48 49 50 ] . Indeed, in the regression study, we observe some increase of tumor-infiltrating dendritic cells in the group receiving the single radiation treatment.

  • In response to DNA damage agents such as ionizing irradiation and chemical agent cisplatin, ATM kinase is activated, leading to a cascade of kinase reactions regulating cell cycle, apoptosis, and DNA damage repair [ 14 15 ] . Many downstream target molecules of ATM kinase were so far identified.

  • Several methods are available to assay discontinuities in DNA, and for many applications, one of the several current methods may suffice [ 30 ] [ 31 32 33 34 35 36 ] . DNA backbone interruptions are key intermediates in genetic metabolism [ 37 ] [ 38 ] [ 39 ] [ 40 ] [ 41 42 ] [ 43 ] . Chemotherapy [ 44 ] , ionizing radiation [ 45 ] and dietary mutagens [ 46 ] also cause distributed DNA strand interruptions [ 47 ] . Chemical modifications [ 48 49 50 ] [ 51 ] need not break the DNA backbone to impede the progress of DNA polymerase.

  • In response to DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation or chemical agents such as cisplatin, ATM kinase is activated and phosphorylates a number of downstream regulatory proteins important for cell cycle arrest, growth control, apoptosis and DNA repair [ 25 26 27 28 ] . AT patients are known to be predisposed to a variety of cancers, and the fibroblasts of AT patients are hypersensitive to ionizing radiation [ 29 ] . Although many reports showed the association of ATM mutation with risk of a number of different human malignancies, including prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and mantle cell lymphoma, the underlying molecular mechanism by which ATM gene causes these changes are not well understood [ 30 31 32 33 34 35 ] . There is so far no study showing the association of ATM gene with any solid tumor.

  • used SAM to study the transcriptional response of lymphoblastoid cells to ionizing radiation, and they were successful in identifying 34 biologically meaningful genes.
