Résumé
Studies about radiation damage in vivo are very significant for healthy risk assessment as well as cancer radiotherapy. Ceramide as a second messenger has been found to be related to radiation-induced apoptosis. However, the detailed mechanisms in living systems are still not fully understood. In the present study, the effects of ceramide in gamma radiation-induced response were investigated using Caenorhabditis elegans. Our results indicated that ceramide was required for gamma radiation-induced whole-body germ cell apoptosis by the production of radical oxygen species and decrease of mitochondrial transmembrane potential. Using genetic ceramide synthase-related mutated strains and exogenous C
