Cells exposed to genotoxic stress, such as ionizing radiation and DNA damaging reagents, either arrest the cell cycle to repair the genome, or undergo apoptosis, depending on the extent of the DNA damage. DNA damage also has been implicated in various differentiation processes. It has been reported that $$gamma$$-ray exposure or treatment with DNA-damaging agents could induce myogenic differentiation in ${it Drosophila}$ Schneider cells. However, the mechanism underlying this process has been poorly understood. In this study, exposure of Schneider cells to X-rays or energetic carbon ion beams caused increase of TUNEL-positive cells and conversion of round-shaped cells to elongated cells. Both upregulation of genes related to myogenesis and increase of myosin indicate that the radiation-induced morphological changes of Schneider cells were accompanied with myogenic differentiation. Because the intracellular ceramide was increased in Schneider cells after exposure to X-ray, we examined whether exogenous ceramide could mimic radiation-induced myogenic differentiation. Addition of membrane-permeable C$$_{2}$$-ceramide to Schneider cells increased apoptosis and expression of myogenic genes. These results suggest that ceramide plays important roles in both apoptosis and the radiation-induced myogenic differentiation process.
