Heavy‐ion irradiation is a powerful mutagen that possesses high linear energy transfer (LET). Several studies have indicated that the value of LET affects DNA lesion formation in several ways, including the efficiency and the density of double‐stranded break induction along the particle path. We assumed that the mutation type can be altered by selecting an appropriate LET value. Here, we quantitatively demonstrate differences in the mutation type induced by irradiation with two representative ions, Ar ions (LET: 290 keV μm?1) and C ions (LET: 30.0 keV μm?1), by whole‐genome resequencing of the Arabidopsis mutants produced by these irradiations. Ar ions caused chromosomal rearrangements or large deletions (≥100 bp) more frequently than C ions, with 10.2 and 2.3 per mutant genome under Ar‐ and C‐ion irradiation, respectively. Conversely, C ions induced more single‐base substitutions and small indels (<100 bp) than Ar ions, with 28.1 and 56.9 per mutant genome under Ar‐ and C‐ion irradiation, respectively. Moreover, the rearrangements induced by Ar‐ion irradiation were more complex than those induced by C‐ion irradiation, and tended to accompany single base substitutions or small indels located close by. In conjunction with the detection of causative genes through high‐throughput sequencing, selective irradiation by beams with different effects will be a powerful tool for forward genetics as well as studies on chromosomal rearrangements.  相似文献

Lipid peroxidation and DNA damage and the relationship between the two events were studied in rat liver nuclei irradiated with low dose UVA. Lipid peroxidation was measured as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) by spectrophotometric method and as malondialdehyde-TBA adduct by HPLC, and DNA damage was measured as 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dGu) and strand breakage (or loss of double-stranded DNA) by a fluorometric analysis of alkaline DNA unwinding method. The results show that UVA irradiation by itself increased nuclear lipid peroxidation but caused little or no DNA strand breakage or 8-OH-dGu. When 0.5 mM ferric (Fe+3) or ferrous (Fe+2) ions were added to the nuclei during UVA irradiation, lipid peroxidation and DNA damage, measured both as 8-OH-dGu and loss of double-stranded DNA, were strongly enhanced. Lipid peroxidation occurred concurrently with the appearance of 8-OH-dGu. Fe3+ ions were reduced to Fe2+ in this UVA/Fe2+/nuclei system. Lipid peroxidation and DNA damage were neither inhibited by scavengers of hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen nor inhibited by superoxide dismutase and catalase. Inclusion of EDTA or chain-breaking antioxidants, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and diphenylamine (an alkoxy radical scavenger), inhibited lipid peroxidation but not the level of 8-OH-dGu. BHT also did not inhibit the loss of double-stranded DNA in this system. This study demonstrates the reduction of exogenous Fe+3 by UVA when added to rat liver nuclei, and, as a result, oxidative damage is strongly enhanced. In addition, the results show that DNA damage is not a result of lipid peroxidation in this UVA/Fe2+/nuclei system.  相似文献

Effect of high linear energy transfer radiation on biological membranes   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Cellular membranes are vital elements, and their integrity is extremely essential for the viability of the cells. We studied the effects of high linear energy transfer (LET) radiation on the membranes. Rabbit erythrocytes (1×107 cells/ml) and microsomes (0.6 mg protein/ml) prepared from liver of rats were irradiated with 7Li ions of energy 6.42 MeV/u and 16O ions of energy 4.25 MeV/u having maximum LET values of 354 keV/μm and 1130 keV/μm, respectively. 7Li- and 16O-induced microsomal lipid peroxidation was found to increase with fluence. The 16O ions were more effective than 7Li ions, which could be due to the denser energy distribution in the track and the yield of free radicals. These findings suggested that the biological membranes could be peroxidized on exposure to high-LET radiation. Inhibition of the lipid peroxidation was observed in the presence of a membrane-active drug, chlorpromazine (CPZ), which could be due to scavenging of free radicals (mainly HO and ROO), electron donation, and hydrogen transfer reactions. The 7Li and 16O ions also induced hemolysis in erythrocytes. The extent of hemolysis was found to be a function of time and fluence, and showed a characteristic sigmoidal pattern. The 16O ions were more effective in the lower fluence range than 7Li ions. These results were compared with lipid peroxidation and hemolysis induced by gamma-radiation.

LIPID PEROXIDE FORMATION IN RAT BRAIN   总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1  
Abstract— Lipid peroxide formation as measured by the thiobarbituric acid reaction was demonstrated in subcellular fractions of rat brain. The ascorbic acid induced nonenzymic lipid peroxidation was distributed in all the subcellular fractions with a maximum in microsomes. The NADPH dependent enzymic lipid peroxidation occurred mainly in microsomes and to a smaller extent in synaptosomes; NADH could replace NADPH for the enzymic lipid peroxidation under the assay conditions employed. Fe2+ but not Fe3+ stimulated the NADPH or NADH dependent lipid peroxide formation. The optimum conditions with respect to pH, ascorbic acid or NADPH concentration, time of incubation and protein concentration were studied. Heating the microsomes at 100oCdid not influence the ascorbate-induced lipid peroxidation but completely abolished the NADPH linked peroxidation. Several heavy metal ions, surface active agents and EDTA were inhibitory to lipid peroxidation. The effect of thiol agents indicated that -SH groups were involved in the enzymic lipid peroxidation. Studies on subcellular fractions of developing rat brain showed an increasing trend in lipid peroxidation with the advancing age of the animal. No significant difference in lipid peroxidation was observed between brains from normal rats and those from rats affected by experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.  相似文献

To gain insight into the mutagenic effects of accelerated heavy ions in plants, the mutagenic effects of carbon ions near the range end (mean linear energy transfer (LET): 425keV/μm) were compared with the effects of carbon ions penetrating the seeds (mean LET: 113keV/μm). Mutational analysis by plasmid rescue of Escherichia coli rpsL from irradiated Arabidopsis plants showed a 2.7-fold increase in mutant frequency for 113keV/μm carbon ions, whereas no enhancement of mutant frequency was observed for carbon ions near the range end. This suggested that carbon ions near the range end induced mutations that were not recovered by plasmid rescue. An Arabidopsis DNA ligase IV mutant, deficient in non-homologous end-joining repair, showed hyper-sensitivity to both types of carbon-ion irradiation. The difference in radiation sensitivity between the wild type and the repair-deficient mutant was greatly diminished for carbon ions near the range end, suggesting that these ions induce irreparable DNA damage. Mutational analysis of the Arabidopsis GL1 locus showed that while the frequency of generation of glabrous mutant sectors was not different between the two types of carbon-ion irradiation, large deletions (>~30kb) were six times more frequently induced by carbon ions near the range end. When 352keV/μm neon ions were used, these showed a 6.4 times increase in the frequency of induced large deletions compared with the 113keV/μm carbon ions. We suggest that the proportion of large deletions increases with LET in plants, as has been reported for mammalian cells. The nature of mutations induced in plants by carbon ions near the range end is discussed in relation to mutation detection by plasmid rescue and transmissibility to progeny.  相似文献

Using the whole plant and model systems, we demonstrate that the aluminum ions (Al3+) stimulate phenolic-dependent lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Donor) roots was 30 % higher under AlCl3 treatment than without Al. Major decomposition product of lipid peroxidation was 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) but not thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), a widely used markers for lipid peroxidation. Similarly, AlCl3 stimulated lipid peroxidation of soybean liposomes in the presence of chlorogenic acid (CGA) and H2O2/horseradish peroxidase system which can oxidize phenolics. Al3+ was found to enhance lipid peroxidation induced by oxidized CGA. Intermediates of lignin biosynthesis in plants, including p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, sinapic acid and coniferyl alcohol, also showed similar effects. These results suggest that Al3+ has a potential to induce oxidative stress in plants by stimulating the prooxidant nature of endogenous phenolic compounds.  相似文献

During studies of the mechanism by which hemolysis is induced in irradiated human erythrocytes in vitro, several inducements of membrane lipid peroxidation and protective effects of vitamin E (V.E) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were investigated. Findings were: (1) Before hemolysis, K+ release from erythrocytes induced by radiation stimulated hemolysis but was inhibited by V.E or SOD. (2) Lipid peroxidation of mitochondria induced by Fe3+, ADP, and superoxide (O2-) generating system, and lipid peroxidation of microsome induced by O2- generating system, were also inhibited by V.E or SOD. (3) X-ray or 60Co gamma-ray radiation stimulated lipid peroxidation of liver homogenate, microsome, and liposome. Some of this peroxidation was inhibited by V.E. or SOD. These results suggest that O2- and/or OH formation by radiation induces membrane lipid peroxidation, which causes deterioration of membrane resulting in change of ion permeability and consequent hemolysis.  相似文献

To clarify the relationship between cell death and chromosomal aberrations following exposure to heavy-charged ion particles beams, exponentially growing Human Salivary Gland Tumor cells (HSG cells) were irradiated with various kinds of high energy heavy ions; 13 keV/μm carbon ions as a low-LET charged particle radiation source, 120 keV/μm carbon ions and 440 keV/μm iron ions as high-LET charged particle radiation sources. X-rays (200 kVp) were used as a reference. Reproductive cell death was evaluated by clonogenic assays, and the chromatid aberrations in G2/M phase and their repairing kinetics were analyzed by the calyculin A induced premature chromosome condensation (PCC) method. High-LET heavy-ion beams introduced much more severe and un-repairable chromatid breaks and isochromatid breaks in HSG cells than low-LET irradiation. In addition, the continuous increase of exchange aberrations after irradiation occurred in the high-LET irradiated cells. The cell death, initial production of isochromatid breaks and subsequent formation of chromosome exchange seemed to be depend similarly on LET with a maximum RBE peak around 100–200 keV/μm of LET value. Conversely, un-rejoined isochromatid breaks or chromatid breaks/gaps seemed to be less effective in reproductive cell death. These results suggest that the continuous yield of chromosome exchange aberrations induced by high-LET ionizing particles is a possible reason for the high RBE for cell death following high-LET irradiation, alongside other chromosomal aberrations additively or synergistically.  相似文献

Lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH)–dependent lipid peroxidation was induced in α-linolenic acid (LNA)-loaded hepatocytes by adding Fe, Cu, V, or Cd ions at concentrations from 20 to 500 μM. The effects of structurally related flavonoids at concentrations from 10 to 500 μM on the lipid peroxidation were examined. The results with regard to each flavonoid subclass are as follows: (i) Flavonols such as myricetin, quercetin, fisetin, and kaempferol, but not morin, showed dose-dependent antioxidative activity against metal-induced lipid peroxidation at all metal concentrations. Myricetin, quercetin, and fisetin were the most effective antioxidants, although their efficacies depended on the metal ion. Kaempferol and morin had antioxidative activity equal to the other flavonols in the presence of Cu ions, but were much less effective for the other three metal ions. (ii) Flavones, luteolin, apigenin, and chrysin were antioxidative at low Fe concentrations, but were pro-oxidative at high Fe concentrations. Luteolin exhibited antioxidative activity similar to that of catechol-containing flavonols in the presence of the other three metal ions. Apigenin and chrysin also acted as pro-oxidants with V or with all metal ions, respectively. (iii) Taxifolin, a flavanone, also showed both anti- and prooxidative activity, depending on Fe concentrations, but with other metal showed only antioxidative activity ions. (iv) Epigallocatechin, a flavanol, was antioxidative with all metal ions, and its activity was similar to that of catechol-containing flavonols. The various effects of flavonoids on metal-induced lipid peroxidation in LNA-loaded hepatocytes is discussed with regard to the change in redox potential of flavonoid–metal complexes.  相似文献

To investigate effects of low dose heavy particle radiation to CNS system, we adopted mouse neonatal brain cells in culture being exposed to heavy ions by HIMAC at NIRS and NSRL at BNL. The applied dose varied from 0.05 Gy up to 2.0 Gy. The subsequent biological effects were evaluated by an induction of apoptosis and neuron survival focusing on the dependencies of the animal strains, SCID, B6, B6C3F1, C3H, used for brain cell culture, SCID was the most sensitive and C3H the least sensitive to particle radiation as evaluated by 10% apoptotic criterion. The LET dependency was compared with using SCID and B6 cells exposing to different ions (H, C, Ne, Si, Ar, and Fe). Although no detectable LET dependency was observed in the high LET (55-200 keV/micrometers) and low dose (<0.5 Gy) regions. The survivability profiles of the neurons were different in the mouse strains and ions. In this report, a result of memory and learning function to adult mice after whole-body and brain local irradiation at carbon ion and iron ion.  相似文献

Relation of lipid peroxidation to loss of cations trapped in liposomes   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Lipid peroxidation and alterations in cation loss have been induced in liposomes by ferrous ion, ascorbic acid, reduced and oxidized glutathione, and gamma radiation. Modifications of these effects by tocopherol and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) were studied when these antioxidants were either incorporated in the membrane or were added to already formed liposomes prior to the addition of the chemical agent or to irradiation. Lipid peroxidation, as indicated by the thiobarbituric acid test for malonic dialdehyde, did not correlate with alterations in cation loss. The largest amounts of lipid peroxidation induced by ascorbic acid and glutathione were associated with decreased cation loss. Inhibition of Fe(2+)- and radiation-induced lipid peroxidation by antioxidants did not inhibit the associated increase in cation loss. Tocopherol was a more effective antioxidant than BHT when it was incorporated in the membrane, whereas BHT was more effective when it was added to the liposomes after formation.  相似文献

Widespread evidence indicates that exposure of cell populations to ionizing radiation results in significant biological changes in both the irradiated and nonirradiated bystander cells in the population. We investigated the role of radiation quality, or linear energy transfer (LET), and radiation dose in the propagation of stressful effects in the progeny of bystander cells. Confluent normal human cell cultures were exposed to low or high doses of 1GeV/u iron ions (LET ~ 151 keV/μm), 600 MeV/u silicon ions (LET ~ 51 keV/μm), or 1 GeV protons (LET ~ 0.2 keV/μm). Within minutes after irradiation, the cells were trypsinized and co-cultured with nonirradiated cells for 5 h. During this time, irradiated and nonirradiated cells were grown on either side of an insert with 3-μm pores. Nonirradiated cells were then harvested and allowed to grow for 20 generations. Relative to controls, the progeny of bystander cells that were co-cultured with cells irradiated with iron or silicon ions, but not protons, exhibited reduced cloning efficiency and harbored higher levels of chromosomal damage, protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation. This correlated with decreased activity of antioxidant enzymes, inactivation of the redox-sensitive metabolic enzyme aconitase, and altered translation of proteins encoded by mitochondrial DNA. Together, the results demonstrate that the long-term consequences of the induced nontargeted effects greatly depend on the quality and dose of the radiation and involve persistent oxidative stress due to induced perturbations in oxidative metabolism. They are relevant to estimates of health risks from exposures to space radiation and the emergence of second malignancies after radiotherapy.  相似文献

In this report we studied DNA damage and lipid peroxidation in rat liver nuclei incubated with iron ions for up to 2 hrs in order to examine whether nuclear DNA damage was dependent on membrane lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation was measured as thio-barbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and DNA damage was measured as 8-OH-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG). We showed that Fe(II) induced nuclear lipid peroxidation dose-dependently but only the highest concentration (1.0 mM) used induced appreciable 8-OH-dG. Fe(II1) up to 1 mM induced minimal lipid peroxidation and negligible amounts of 8-OH-dG. Ascorbic acid enhanced Fe(II)-induced lipid peroxidation at a ratio to Fe(II) of 1:l but strongly inhibited peroxidation at ratios of 2.5:l and 5:l. By contrast, ascorbate markedly enhanced DNA damage at all ratios tested and in a concentration-dependent manner. The nuclear DNA damage induced by 1 niM FeSO4/5 mM ascorbic acid was largely inhibited by iron chelators and by dimethylsulphoxide and manni-tol, indicating the involvement of OH. Hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anions were also involved, as DNA damage was partially inhibited by catalase and, to a lesser extent, by superoxide dismutase. The chain-breaking antioxidants butylated hydroxytoluene and diphenylamine (an alkoxyl radical scavenger) did not inhibit DNA damage. Hence, this study demonstrated that ascorbic acid enhanced Fe(II)-induced DNA base modification which was not dependent on lipid peroxidation in rat liver nuclei.  相似文献

We investigated the earliest possible chromosome break and repair process in normal human fibroblasts irradiated with low and high LET (linear energy transfer) heavy ion radiation using the modified premature chromosome condensation (PCC) technique utilizing wortmannin (WM) during the fusion incubation period [M. Okada, S. Saito, R. Okayasu, Facilitated detection of chromosome break and repair at low levels of ionizing radiation by addition of wortmannin to G1-type PCC fusion incubation, Mutat. Res., 562 (2004) 11-17]. The initial numbers of breaks were approximately 10/cell/Gy in X-irradiated samples, followed by carbon (LET: 70 keV/microm), neon, and the number was around 5/cell/Gy in silicon (LET: 70 and 200 keV/microm) and iron (LET: 200 keV/microm) samples. If WM was not used, the initial numbers of breaks with silicon and iron were higher than those of X-rays. To quantify these data, we used initial repair ratio (IRR) defined as the number of G1 PCC breaks with WM divided by the number of breaks without WM. X-irradiation gave the maximum IRR ( approximately 2.0), while iron as well as silicon irradiation showed the minimum IRR ( approximately 1.0), suggesting almost no rejoining at the initial stage. Although there is a comparatively good correlation between the IRR value and the cell survival, the survival fraction with the repair data at 2 or 6h correlates better statistically. Our data indicate that high LET heavy ion irradiation induces a lower number of initial chromosome breaks with minimal repair when compared with low LET irradiation. These results at the chromosome level substantiate and extend the notion that high LET radiation produces complex-type DNA double strand breaks (DSBs).  相似文献

We studied the synergistic effect of visible light and ferritin on the lipid peroxidation on a fraction of porcine photoreceptor outer segment (POS). Reaction mixtures containing the POS fraction and horse spleen ferritin were irradiated under white fluorescent light mainly at 17,000 lx or incubated under dark conditions at 37°C. The lipid peroxidation was evaluated by both the thiobarbituric acid method and the ferrous oxidation/xylenol orange method. The irradiation-induced lipid peroxidation was affected by some experimental factors such as the irradiation dose and acidity of the material. When the irradiation was stopped, the lipid peroxidation was also stopped; thereafter, the re-irradiation induced lipid peroxidation. Moreover, this lipid peroxidation was inhibited by desferrioxamine, an iron chelator, or by dimethylthiourea, a hydroxyl radical scavenger, suggesting that the lipid peroxidation involves hydroxyl radicals generated via the Fenton reaction by iron ion released from ferritin. The lipid peroxidation did not take place under dark conditions or in the absence of ferritin. This study suggested the possibility that the visible light-induced lipid peroxidation of the POS fraction in the presence of ferritin may participate in the etiology of human retinal degenerative diseases as the human retina is exposed to light for life.  相似文献

Lipid peroxidation in isolated rat liver mitochondria, mitoplast, and mitochondrial inner membrane fragments was induced either by ferrous ions, or in an NADPH-dependent process by complexing with adenine nucleotides (ADP or ATP) iron. The Fe2+-induced lipid peroxidation is nonenzymic when inner membrane fragments are used, while the differences in the inhibitory effect of Mn2+ ions and the stimulatory effect of the ionophore A-23187 in mitochondria and inner membrane fragments suggest an enzymic mechanism for ferrous ion-induced lipid peroxidation in intact mitochondria. Contrary to this the ADP/Fe/NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation is an enzymic process both in mitochondria and inner membrane preparations. We have shown that cytochrome P450 is involved in the ADP/Fe/NADPH-induced lipid peroxidation. Succinate, a known inhibitor of NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation, inhibited the Fe2+-induced process also, and there was no difference in this effect when inner membrane preparations, mitochondria, or mitoplasts were used.  相似文献

Hippocampal precursors retain the capacity to proliferate and differentiate throughout life, and their progeny, immature neurons, can undergo neurogenesis, a process believed to be important in maintaining the cognitive health of an organism. A variety of stresses including irradiation have been shown to deplete neural precursor cells, an effect that inhibits neurogenesis and is associated with the onset of cognitive impairments. Our past work has shown that neural precursor cells exposed to X-rays or protons exhibit a prolonged increase in oxidative stress, a factor we hypothesize to be critical in regulating the function of these cells after irradiation and other stresses. Here we report that irradiation of hippocampal precursor cells with high-linear energy transfer (LET) 1 GeV/nucleon 56Fe ions leads to significantly higher levels of oxidative stress when compared to lower LET radiations (X-rays, protons). Irradiation with 1 Gy of 56Fe ions elicits twofold to fivefold higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to unirradiated controls, and at lower doses (≤1 Gy) neural precursors exhibit a linear dose response 6 h after heavy ion exposure. The use of the antioxidant lipoic acid (LA) was able to reduce ROS levels below background levels when added before or after 56Fe ion irradiation. These results conclusively show that low doses of 56Fe ions can elicit significant levels of oxidative stress in neural precursor cells. Given the prevalence of heavy ions in space and the duration of interplanetary travel, these data suggest that astronauts are at risk for developing cognitive decrements. However, our results also indicate that antioxidants delivered before as radioprotective agents or after as mitigating agents hold promise as effective countermeasures for ameliorating certain adverse effects of heavy ion exposure to the CNS.  相似文献

To investigate effects of low dose heavy particle radiation to CNS system, we adopted mouse neonatal brain cells in culture being exposed to heavy ions generated by HIMAC at NIRS and BNL. The applied dose varied from 0.05 Gy up to 2.0 Gy. The subsequent biological effects were evaluated by an induction of apoptosis focusing on the dependencies of (1) the animal strains with different radiation sensitivities, and (2) LET with different nuclei. Of the three mouse strains, SCID, B6 and C3H, used for brain cell culture, SCID was the most sensitive and C3H the least sensitive to both X-ray and carbon ion ( 290 MeV/n) as evaluated by 10% apoptotic criterion. However, the sensitivity differences among the strains were much smaller in case of carbon ion comparing to that of X-ray. Regarding the LET dependency, the sensitivity was compared with using C3H and B6 cells between the carbon (13 keV/micrometers) and neon (70 keV/micrometers) ions. Carbon (290 MeV/n) did not give a detectable LET dependency from the criterion whereas the neon (400 MeV/n) showed 1.4 fold difference for both C3H and B6 cells. Although a LET dependency was examined by using the most sensitive SCID cells, no significant difference was detected.  相似文献

A survey of chemicals inducing lipid peroxidation in biological systems   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
A great number of drugs and chemicals are reviewed which have been shown to stimulate lipid peroxidation in any biological system. The underlying mechanisms, as far as known, are also dealt with. Lipid peroxidation induced by iron ions, organic hydroperoxides, halogenated hydrocarbons, redox cycling drugs, glutathione depleting chemicals, ethanol, heavy metals, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and a number of miscellaneous compounds, e.g. hydrazines, pesticides, antibiotics, are mentioned. It is shown that lipid peroxidation is stimulated by many of these compounds. However, quantitative estimates cannot be given yet and it is still impossible to judge the biological relevance of chemical-induced lipid peroxidation.  相似文献
