The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of carbon ion irradia- tion on the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to those of photon irradiation. Our study showed that carbon ion irradiation of human lung adenocarcinoma cells A549 decreased their invasion more effectively than pho- ton irradiation did. We found that carbon ion irradiation reduced the nuclear localization of ANLN at lower dose, but did not affect its expression. Low-dose carbon ion irradiation also reduced the level of phosphorylated Akt compared to untreated controls, whereas photon irradiation did not. These results sug- gest that carbon ion irradiation effectively suppresses the metastatic potential of A549 cells by suppressing the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.}, pages = {374--379}, title = {Carbon Ion Irradiation Suppresses Metastatic Potential of Human Non-small Cell Lung Cancer A549 Cells through the Phosphatidylinositol-3-Kinase/Akt Signaling Pathway}, volume = {52}, year = {2011} }
