This invention belongs to the field of
cell detection technology, specifically involving the application of NR4A1 as an early biomarker for gamma-
ray radiation. This invention discovers that in the early stage (2 hours) after gamma-
ray radiation, the
protein and mRNA levels of NR4A1 are significantly increased, exhibiting a
radiation dose-dependent effect. NR4A1 can serve as a 2-hour biomarker for gamma-
ray irradiated
HeLa cells, allowing for the screening of cells irradiated for 2 hours, differentiating the duration of gamma-
ray irradiation, and achieving early diagnosis of cellular gamma-
ray radiation.
