Suppression of thymic lymphoma induction by life-long low-dose-rate irradiation accompanied by immune activation in C57BL/6 mice.

Abstract:

:The induction of thymic lymphomas by whole-body X irradiation with four doses of 1.8 Gy (total dose: 7.2 Gy) in C57BL/6 mice was suppressed from a high frequency (90%) to 63% by preirradiation with 0.075 Gy X rays given 6 h before each 1.8-Gy irradiation. This level was further suppressed to 43% by continuous whole-body irradiation with 137Cs gamma rays at a low dose rate of 1.2 mGy/h for 450 days, starting 35 days before the challenging irradiation. Continuous irradiation at 1.2 mGy/h resulting in a total dose of 7.2 Gy over 258 days yielded no thymic lymphomas, indicating that this low-dose-rate radiation does not induce these tumors. Further continuous irradiation up to 450 days (total dose: 12.6 Gy) produced no tumors. Continuously irradiated mice showed no loss of hair and a greater body weight than unirradiated controls. Immune activities of the mice, as measured by the numbers of CD4+ T cells, CD40+ B cells, and antibody-producing cells in the spleen after immunization with sheep red blood cells, were significantly increased by continuous 1.2-mGy/h irradiation alone. These results indicate the presence of an adaptive response in tumor induction, the involvement of radiation-induced immune activation in tumor suppression, and a large dose and dose-rate effectiveness factor (DDREF) for tumor induction with extremely low-dose-rate radiation.
