Micronucleus formation in human tumour cells: lack of correlation with radiosensitivity.

Abstract:

:The micronucleus (MN) test has been carefully characterized in four human tumour cell lines of widely differing radiosensitivity. Two radioresistant bladder carcinoma cell lines (MGH-U1 and RT112), one sensitive medulloblastoma cell line (D283MED) and a sensitive neuroblastoma cell line (HX142) were used. The number of MN per Gy of ionising radiation was 0.13 for HX142, 0.17 for D283MED, 0.21 for RT112 and 0.26 for MGH-U1. This does not rank the cell lines in the same order of radiosensitivity as clonogenic cell survival where the surviving fraction at 2 Gy (SF2) was 0.11 for HX142, 0.2 for D283MED, 0.62 for RT112 and 0.53 for MGH-U1. This discrepancy between MN formation and cell death leaves doubt as to the potential usefulness of the MN test as a rapid assay of radiosensitivity but it has potential implications for the mechanistic basis of radiosensitivity in these cells.
