Evidence for reduced capacity for damage accumulation and repair in plateau-phase C3H 10T1/2 cells following multiple-dose irradiation with gamma rays.

Abstract：

:The effects of multiple-dose gamma irradiation on the shape of survival curves were studied with mouse C3H 10T1/2 cells maintained in contact-inhibited plateau phase. The dose-fractionation intervals included 3, 6, and 24 h. Following three fractionated doses (5 Gy per dose) of exposures, cells responded to further irradiation by displaying a survival curve with a much reduced shoulder width (Dq) compared to that of the survival curve measured in cells irradiated with single-graded doses alone. The effect on the mean lethal dose (D0) was small and appeared to be significant. The effect on reduction of Dq could not be completely overcome by lengthening the fractionation intervals from 3 to 6 h or 24 h, times in which repair of sublethal damage (SLD) measured by simple split-dose scheme and potentially lethal damage (PLD) measured by postirradiation incubation was completed. Other experiments showed that pretreatments of cells with fractionated irradiation appeared to slow down the cellular repair processes of SLD and PLD. Therefore, the observed change in the shape of survival curves after fractionation treatments may be attributed to a reduction of the cells' capacity for damage accumulation by an enhancement of the lethal expression of SLD and PLD. Although the molecular mechanism(s) is not known, the results of this study indicate that the acute graded dose-survival curve cannot be used a priori to extrapolate and reliably predict results of hyperfractionation. It is probable that for a nondividing or slowly dividing cell population, such an extrapolation may lead to an underestimation of cell killing. Furthermore, the findings of this investigation appear to support an interpretation, alternative to the high-linear energy transfer (LET) track-end postulate, for the effects on cell survival seen at low doses or low dose rates.
