Mutation induction and RBE of low energy neutrons in V79 cells.

Abstract:

:We have examined the neutron energy dependency of cell killing and mutation induction at the hprt locus in Chinese hamster V79 cells. Monoenergetic neutrons at 0.32, 0.57, and 1.2 MeV were generated at the Hiroshima University Radiobiological Research Accelerator (HIRRAC) Facility, and were used to irradiate cells. The variation in RBE with neutron energy for the end points of cell survival and hprt mutation induction was observed. When compared to 137Cs gamma-rays, all neutron energies were more effective at both cell killing and induction of mutation. Over the range of the neutron energies examined, we found that cytotoxicity increased as the energy decreased from 1.2 to 0.32 MeV. In comparison to gamma-rays, RBEs for cell lethality at 10% survival were 5.7, 6.7, and 7.6 for 1.2, 0.57, and 0.32 MeV, respectively. Mutation induction, on the other hand, was highest at 0.57 MeV with a gradual decrease at 1.2 and 0.32 MeV. RBEs for mutation induction were 9.7, 19.4, and 13.9 for 1.2, 0.57, and 0.32 MeV neutrons. We isolated independent V79 cell mutants at the hprt locus from untreated and neutron-exposed cells and determined the genetic changes underlying the mutation by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based exon deletion analysis. Preliminary results are suggestive of a specific relationship between deletion pattern and neutron energy.
