Influence of radiation-induced apoptosis on development brain in molecular regulation

An outline of current status on the influence of radiation on the development brain was given in the paper. Some genes as immediate early gene, Bcl-2 family, p53, heat shock protein and AT gene play an important regulation role in ionizing radiation-induced development brain cells apoptosis. And such biological factor as nerve growth factor, interlukin-l, tumor necrosis factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, transforming growth factor and so on have a vital protection function against ionizing radiation-induced cells apoptosis.
