Abstract
Objective. To study in vitro the effect of therapeutic doses of radiation on the albumin molecule using intrinsic and probe fluorescence methods.
Materials and methods. In order to study radiation-induced changes in serum albumin during in vitro irradiation with therapeutic doses (2 Gy, 40 Gy and 70 Gy), the study was conducted in 2 directions: therapeutic doses of ionizing radiation irradiated a buffer, which was then used to prepare an albumin solution (pre-irradiation of the buffer); therapeutic doses of ionizing radiation irradiated an albumin buffer solution. The presence of structural and functional (conformational) changes in the albumin molecule was judged by changes in the values of intrinsic (λexc=280 nm) and probe (λexc=280
nm, λexc=320 nm) fluorescence. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the program GraphPad Prism 6.0.
Results. Irradiation with therapeutic doses of 2 Gy, 40 Gy and 70 Gy causes conformational changes (a statistically significant decrease in fluorescence intensity) in the albumin molecule, both during preliminary irradiation of the buffer solution used later for the preparation of albumin, and during irradiation of the buffer solution of albumin.
Conclusions. Quantitative changes in the fluorescence intensity, both intrinsic and probe, differ under different modes of albumin irradiation.
