Factors Influencing the DNA Content of Radiation-induced Micronuclei.
Int. J. Radiat. Biol. 62, 587-602 (1992)
The distribution of the DNA content of radiation-induced micronuclei was analysed in several cell lines (Chinese hamster, Syrian hamster and mouse NIH-3T3 cells) by flow cytometry. Frequency and DNA content of micronuclei were measured simultaneously using fluorescence and forward scatter signals of micronuclei and nuclei in suspension stained with ethidium bromide. Computerized random breakage of chromosomes and random combination of fragments was performed to compare the measured micronucleus distributions in synchronized cells irradiated during G1-phase with calculated distributions. The measured DNA distribution of radiation-induced micronuclei was found to be influenced by several factors: (1) the DNA distribution and the centromeric index of the chromosomes in the various cell lines; (2) the cell cycle phase at time of micronucleus measurement due to DNA synthesis in micronuclei; (3) the presence of chromosome fragments in micronuclei; and (4) the presence of whole chromosomes in micronuclei. These factors were shown to be responsible for the previously found large radiation-induced micronuclei which could not be explained by the classic assumption only that radiation-induced micronuclei are mainly produced by single acentric fragments.
