Figure 5

Heat maps of DNA damage signalling gene expression in parental FaDu (A) and radioresistant FaDu-RR cells (B) in 0.3 Gy, 2.1 Gy and 7x0.3 Gy irradiated cells relative to the gene expression in control non-irradiated cells. The magnitude of the fold change in gene expression of each gene from three independent experiments is represented by the colour. Green indicates under-expressed genes, and red indicates over-expressed genes.

DNA damage signalling gene expression in parental FaDu and radioresistant FaDu-RR cells in response to different irradiation protocols. (A) Gene expression of FaDu cells in response to 0.3 Gy, 2.1 Gy, and 7x0.3 Gy irradiation relative to the control non-irradiated FaDu cells. (B) Gene expression in FaDu-RR cells in response to 0.3 Gy, 2.1 Gy, and 7x0.3 Gy irradiation relative to the control non-irradiated FaDu-RR cells. Volcano plots show the fold change in gene expression and statistical significance (p value). The horizontal line shows the statistical significance threshold (p value < 0.05). Two vertical dashed lines show the threshold of over-expressed (right) and under-expressed genes (left), while the solid vertical line shows no change in gene expression. Symbols represent the mean gene expression of each tested gene in irradiated cells relative to control non-irradiated cells from three independent experiments.
