Abstract：Objective To establish a radioresistant esophageal squamous cancer cell line, and to identify the radioresistant genes and mechanisms. Methods The radioresistant KYSE410-res cell line was established by repeated exposure of cell line KYSE410 to radiation. The proliferation and apoptosis of esophageal squamous cancer cells were evaluated before and after radiation. The changes in gene expression of the esophageal squamous cancer cells after radiation were determined by gene microarray and analyzed by group t test. The genes with significant difference in expression after radiation were validated. Results The KYSE410-res cells had significantly enhanced proliferation and anti-apoptosis than the KYSE410 cells (all P<0.05). The result of gene microarray showed that compared with the KYSE410 cells, the KYSE410-res cells had the expression of 463 and 251 genes upregulated and downregulated by no less than 4 folds, respectively. Those genes with different expression levels after radiation were mainly responsible for cell proliferation, adhesion, signal transduction, angiogenesis, reactive oxygen metabolism, cell damage repair, and the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. OAS2 and UBD were key proteins in the network. In the KYSE410-res cells, the expression of HLA-DQB1, MMP1, NCAM1, ZNF521, GPC6, SELENBP1, LCN15, and TFPI-2 genes measured by real-time PCR was consistent with that measured by gene microarray. Conclusions Abnormal activation of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, upregulated expression of OAS2 and UBD, downregulated expression of TFPI-2, and upregulated expression of MMPs may play a role in radioresistance of esophageal cancer cells.
