The study aimed to determine if using caspase inhibitors in pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) could improve the estimation of radiation-induced DNA repair and apoptosis. PFGE is a technique used to examine chromosomal DNA and separate DNA fragments of different sizes. The study exposed tumor cells to radiation and used PFGE along with caspase inhibitors to examine DNA fragmentation and apoptosis during the repair process. The results and conclusions suggested that new techniques combining caspase inhibitors and PFGE may provide better and more reliable results for understanding radiation-induced DNA repair and programmed cell death.
