Induction and persistence of chromosomal exchanges in mouse bone marrow cells following whole-body exposure to X-rays.

Abstract：

PURPOSE:To investigate the induction and persistence of chromosome aberrations in mouse bone marrow cells after X-ray exposure and to detect differential involvement of individual chromosomes in translocations. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Male and female Swiss mice were exposed to 1 and 3 Gy of X-rays. Chromosome aberrations in bone marrow cells were analysed at 1, 7, 21 and 100 days following irradiation by means of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with mouse chromosome-specific DNA libraries (#1,13; #2,8; #6,15 and X,Y). In total, 38% of mouse genome was painted and examined. RESULTS:Pooled data indicate that the frequencies of dicentrics and fragments decreased with time and reached to the control level at day 21 after exposure. Following exposure to 1 Gy of X-rays, the frequencies of translocations were not significantly lower between days 7 and 100 than observed at day 1. However, the frequencies of translocations for the 3 Gy group were significantly (about 40%) lower at day 7, then remained constant up to day 100. After exposure to 3Gy of X-rays, the frequencies of non-reciprocal translocations decreased with time, whereas reciprocal translocations between days 7 and 100 were not significantly less frequent than at day 1. A comparison of observed and expected numbers of translocations involving individual chromosomes showed that at day 1 after irradiation, distribution of X-ray-induced translocations among the painted chromosomes was proportional to their DNA content. However, at day 100 after exposure, the observed translocations involving chromosome 2 were more frequent than expected, those involving chromosomes 8 and 15 were less frequent than expected, while chromosomes 1, 6, X and Y were involved as frequently as expected. CONCLUSION:Among induced translocations, non-reciprocal translocations are relatively unstable, especially after exposure to high-dose X-rays. While the initial distribution of X-ray-induced translocations is proportional among the painted chromosomes, the persistence of these translocations is heterogeneous.
