Abstract:
:Plateau-phase A549 cells exhibit a high capacity for repair of potentially lethal radiation damage (PLD). Previously it was found that PLD repair could be partially inhibited by increasing the extracellular pH (pHe) of the spent medium from its normal value of 6.7-6.8 to 7.6 during postirradiation holding. The present study shows that PLD repair is also inhibited by reducing the pHe of the spent medium to 6.0. The effects of altering pHe on rejoining of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) as measured by neutral filter elution and on mitotic delay and chromosome aberrations seen after releasing cells from the plateau phase were investigated. Neither increasing nor decreasing the pHe of the spent medium had an effect on radiation-induced mitotic delay. Rejoining of DSBs was significantly inhibited by holding at pHe 6.0 but not affected by holding at pHe 7.6. At 2 h after irradiation about 51% of unrejoined breaks remained at pHe 6.0, compared to about 15% at pHe 6.7 or 7.6. However, holding at pHe 7.6 appeared to cause a marginal change in the kinetics of rejoining of DSBs. Repair of lesions leading to dicentric and acentric chromosome aberrations did not occur when cells were held at pHe 6.0, since less than 10% of these aberrations disappeared from cells held for 24 h before subculture. In contrast, holding plateau-phase cells at pHe 7.6 vs 6.7 caused a small but significant reduction in the disappearance of dicentrics but had no effect on the rate or extent of the disappearance of acentrics. These data have led us to hypothesize that inhibition of PLD repair by holding at pHe 6.0 is related both to inhibition of pH-dependent DNA repair enzymes and to induction of changes in DNA which lead to misrepair when the cells are released from plateau phase. Inhibition of PLD repair by holding at pHe 7.6, on the other hand, is related primarily to changes in DNA structure which promote misrepair.
