Micronucleus induction in mammalian cell cultures treated with ionizing radiations.
Radiat. Environ. Biophys. 24, 27-44 (1985)
Exponentially growing and plateau phase cultures of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (suspension strain) were treated with either fast electrons, X-rays, fast neutrons or Am-241-alpha-particles in a dose range from about 0.02 Gy to 1 Gy and for comparison also at higher doses. After the first post-irradiation division, cells were scored for the presence of micronuclei and the micronucleus fraction as well as the number of micronuclei/cell was determined. Micronuclei were counted using the DNA specific stain H 33258 in a fluorescence microscope. A comparison with cytofluorometric measurements established that microscopic detection accounted for up to 90% of all micronuclei present within a sample, the rest probably being hidden in direct observation by the main nucleus. Dose response curves based on the micronucleus fraction as well as on the number of micronuclei/cell were found to be linear in the whole dose range tested at low and at high ionization density. Linearity was maintained also when repair of primary lesions was promoted or suppressed. The RBE of alpha-particles compared with X-rays was dependent on the time of fixation and was at a maximum immediately after the first division (RBE = 4.8 +/- 0.5). Micronucleus distribution showed overdispersion relative to Poissonian statistics with every radiation quality used, in accordance with earlier observations on the distribution of acentric fragments in irradiated cultures.
