Hyperthermia-induced cellular response has been widely investigated for understanding cell physiology in stressful conditions as well as for therapeutic application using heat shock. In this study, the protective effect of mild hyperthermia-induced cellular response was investigated in RKO human colon cell lines, which harbor wild-type p53. Our data showed that the accumulation of p53 protein was induced without DNA damage in response to mild hyperthermia. Interestingly, the sub-lethal of heat shock at 40 degrees C for 30 minutes in RKO cells showed the protective effect against UV mimetic agent 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4NQO) with the decrease in mitotic index, although other papers had shown the induction of apoptosis in RKO cells under the higher dose of heat stress. Thus, we suggest that the protective effect of sub-lethal heat shock might be applicable for a novel preventive approach to clinical applications of mild hyperthermia.

D009153 Mutagens Chemical agents that increase the rate of genetic mutation by interfering with the function of nucleic acids. A clastogen is a specific mutagen that causes breaks in chromosomes. Clastogen,Clastogens,Genotoxin,Genotoxins,Mutagen
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D003106 Colon The segment of LARGE INTESTINE between the CECUM and the RECTUM. It includes the ASCENDING COLON; the TRANSVERSE COLON; the DESCENDING COLON; and the SIGMOID COLON. Appendix Epiploica,Taenia Coli,Omental Appendices,Omental Appendix,Appendices, Omental,Appendix, Omental
D003114 Colony-Forming Units Assay A cytologic technique for measuring the functional capacity of stem cells by assaying their activity. Clonogenic Cell Assay,Stem Cell Assay,Clonogenic Cell Assays,Colony Forming Units Assays,Colony-Forming Units Assays,Stem Cell Assays,Assay, Clonogenic Cell,Assay, Colony-Forming Units,Assay, Stem Cell,Assays, Clonogenic Cell,Assays, Colony-Forming Units,Assays, Stem Cell,Colony Forming Units Assay
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed. ELISA,Assay, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent,Assays, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent,Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay,Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays,Immunosorbent Assay, Enzyme-Linked,Immunosorbent Assays, Enzyme-Linked
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D014466 Ultraviolet Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants. Actinic Rays,Black Light, Ultraviolet,UV Light,UV Radiation,Ultra-Violet Rays,Ultraviolet Light,Ultraviolet Radiation,Actinic Ray,Light, UV,Light, Ultraviolet,Radiation, UV,Radiation, Ultraviolet,Ray, Actinic,Ray, Ultra-Violet,Ray, Ultraviolet,Ultra Violet Rays,Ultra-Violet Ray,Ultraviolet Black Light,Ultraviolet Black Lights,Ultraviolet Radiations,Ultraviolet Ray
