BCNU-induced sister chromatid exchanges are increased by X irradiation.

Abstract:

:We have studied the effect on sister chromatid exchange (SCE) induction in 9L rat brain tumor cells caused by combination treatment with BCNU and X rays. Over the dose and concentration ranges used in these experiments, BCNU induced relatively large numbers of SCEs, while X rays induced few SCEs. When cells were X irradiated immediately after BCNU treatment, the number of SCEs induced was greater than the number of SCEs expected by adding the number of SCEs induced by each agent alone; the number of SCEs induced as a result of this BCNU-X-ray interaction increased as the concentration of BCNU and/or dose of X rays increased. When the addition of bromodeoxyuridine was delayed from 0 to 16 hr after BCNU treatment, the number of SCEs induced declined to control levels by 16 hr. If X irradiation was delayed for up to 16 hr after BCNU treatment the same pattern of decrease was observed; the number of SCEs induced at each time point, however, was greater than that induced by BCNU and X rays alone. X irradiation from 0-16 hr before BCNU treatment produced the same number of SCEs as that produced by BCNU alone. Thus the SCE assay is capable of detecting a drug-X-ray interaction in mammalian cells and provides a sensitive means of studying the sequencing and timing that leads to the interaction.
