Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Radioactive pollution has become a very serious environmental problem today. For example, a large number of radionuclides leaked from the Fukushima accident in Japan have been retained in the environment for a long time. Radioactive pollution not only causes radiation to the environment (α,β,γ), but radionuclides can also enter the food chain through the biosphere, endangering human survival and health. Various kinds of radionuclides are considered important due to their interactions with biological tissues (plants, animals, fungi, bacteria). Therefore, it is pivotal to understand the migration and enrichment of radionuclides, as well as the relevant biological effects, particularly the corresponding molecular mechanisms and cell signal pathways involved in these biological processes.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: enrichment of radionuclides in plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria. We hope the papers in this Special Issue will be of high value to scientists working in the field of biology enrichment of radionuclides. We look forward to receiving your valuable papers in the upcoming months.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Radioactive elements, such as tritium, have been released into the ocean in large quantities as a result of the reactor leakage accident. In this study, an MTT assay demonstrated that the viability of HacaT cells decreased after tritiated water treatment. Bioinformatics analysis was used to analyze gene changes in the HacaT cells. The sequencing results showed 267 significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and GO enrichment analysis showed that the DEGs were mainly divided into three parts. The KEGG pathway analysis showed that the up-regulated DEGs were involved in Wnt and other pathways, while the down-regulated DEGs were involved in Jak–STAT and others. A Western blot assay was used to verify the parts of the sequencing results. This study was the first to explore the mechanism of tritiated water on HacaT cells using Transcriptome analysis. The results will provide a theoretical basis for the study of tritiated water hazard mechanisms. Full article
