We have studied the effects of actinomycin-D (AMD) and Adriamycin (ADRM) on the repair of radiation damage in Chinese hamster cells (V79) in plateau phase growth. Suppression of potentially lethal damage repair (PLDR) was observed in the presence of non-toxic levels of AMD and minimally toxic levels of ADRM. The suppression of PLDR by AMD persisted as long as the drug was present. Removal of AMD was followed by prompt repair of potentially lethal injury suggesting that suppression of PLDR by AMD was not accompanied by fixation of injury to a non-repairable state. On the other hand, irradiated cells exposed to ADRM eventually repair potentially lethal injury in the presence of drug after an initial delay. AMD, but not ADRM, inhibited repair of sublethal radiation damage. 相似文献

Clone A human colon cancer cells were exposed to concentrations of sodium butyrate (NAB, 0-2 mM) for three passages in vitro, and responses to either graded single doses or split doses of 250 kVp X rays were determined. The survival data were fit to the single-hit, multitarget model of inactivation. For the graded single dose experiments, we found that NAB produced a decrease in the magnitude of the quasi-threshold (Dq) parameter after a concentration of about 0.9 mM was exceeded. Similarly, in split dose experiments, the amount of sublethal damage recovery (SLDR) was reduced in a concentration-dependent manner as shown by a decrease in the Dq parameter. However, the inhibition of SLDR occurred with no apparent threshold NAB concentration. NAB did not affect potentially lethal damage recovery. Paradoxically, increasing concentrations of NAB produced an exponential increase in the intracellular glutathione content, which could be blocked by exposure of the cells to buthionine sulfoximine (BSO). BSO treatment of NAB-adapted cells led to additional cell killing, again most noted by changes in the Dq parameter. We postulate that these responses are associated with NAB-induced changes in chromatin structure, particularly the association between DNA and nucleosomal histones H3 and H4. 相似文献

The effects of the calmodulin antagonist W13 were determined on potentially lethal damage repair, sublethal damage repair, and X-ray-induced DNA damage repair following X irradiation of 67 murine mammary carcinoma cells in the proliferative and quiescent states. Studies with W13 (20 micrograms/ml) on proliferating cells showed that the cells rounded up within 2 h but stayed attached to the dishes and there was a slight transient G2 block by 6 h. Also, the proportion of S-phase cells at 12 h was reduced to 65% of control with the concurrent [3H]thymidine incorporation reduced to 62% of control. There was no detectable effect from this pharmacological dose of W13 either on PLDR in proliferating cells at 400 and 800 rad or on quiescent cells at 200 and 400 rad. Likewise, there was no measurable effect on SLDR in either proliferating or quiescent cells at equally split doses of 800 and 600 rad, respectively. In addition, for control vs W13-treated proliferating cells, no difference was detected either in the induction of DNA damage by X irradiation or in the initial rate of repair (T 1/2 approximately equal to 7 min), as measured by the alkaline filter elution assay. In contrast to uv and bleomycin-induced damage, these data suggest that calmodulin may have no major role in either the molecular or cellular recovery from X-ray-induced damage in mammalian cells. 相似文献

We describe the steady-state levels and molecular and cellular repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in tetraiodothyroacetic acid (tetrac)-treated human U87MG glioblastoma cells after x-irradiation in vitro. This study was conducted to provide a basis for our previous observation of radiosensitization and inhibition of cellular recovery after irradiation of tetrac-exposed GL261 murine brain tumor cells. We used the neutral comet assay to assess DSBs, and found that the steady-state DSB levels as indicated by the mean tail moment after a 1 h application of 2 nM tetrac at 37oC was increased from a value of 6.1 in control cells to 12.4 in tetrac treated cells at 0 radiation dose. However, at all radiation doses, the induction curves of DSBs were parallel, suggesting that no interaction of tetrac with the initial physical-chemical actions of ionizing radiation occurred. Flow cytometric measurements indicated that this increase was not due to alterations in the relative percentages of U87MG cells throughout the cell cycle. In split-dose DNA repair studies we found that tetrac decreased the repair rate of U87 cells by a factor of 72.5%. This suggests that the radiosensitization from graded single doses of x-rays occurs as a consequence of tetrac inhibition of the post-irradiation repair process. These results link the previously noted changes in cellular endpoints to a molecular endpoint. That is, tetrac produces increased numbers of DSBs in the unirradiated steady-state coupled with a decreased repair rate of DSBs in fractionated radiation experiments. 相似文献

We examined X-ray induced potentially lethal damage repair (PLDR) in density inhibited plateau phase cultures of six fibroblast strains derived from patients with hereditary retinoblastoma and two patients with D-deletion retinoblastoma and compared them to three normal controls. PLD was measured in hereditary retinoblastoma (7 Gy exposure) and normal cells (7 and 9 Gy exposure) after 24 h repair time. PLD survival curves were performed at 2-9 Gy on six retinoblastoma and three normal control cell strains. Thus, PLDR was compared at equitoxic survival levels as well as after exposure to equal doses of radiation. Some retinoblastoma strains showed normal PLDR whereas others were possibly deficient. Implications of PLDR for susceptibility to radiation-induced and spontaneous tumours in hereditary retinoblastoma patients are discussed. 相似文献

Radiation cell survival data were obtained in vitro for three cell lines isolated from human tumours traditionally considered to be radioresistant--two melanomas and one osteosarcoma--as well as from a diploid skin fibroblast cell line. One melanoma cell line was much more radioresistant than the other, while the osteosarcoma and fibroblast cell lines were more radiosensitive than either. For cells growing exponentially, little potentially lethal damage repair (PLDR) could be demonstrated by comparing survival data for cells in which subculture was delayed by 6 h with those sub-cultured immediately after treatment. For the malignant cells in plateau phase, which in these cells might be better termed 'slowed growth phase', since an appreciable fraction of the cells are still cycling, a small amount of PLDR was observed, but not as much as reported by other investigators in the literature. The normal fibroblasts, which achieved a truer plateau phase in terms of noncycling cells, showed a significantly larger amount of PLDR than the tumour cells. 相似文献

Published data on the in vitro radiosensitivity of 46 nontransformed fibroblasts of different genetic origins studied in plateau phase with immediate or delayed plating were used to investigate to what extent potentially lethal damage repair capacity is related to intrinsic radiosensitivity (i.e., irradiated in exponential growth phase). While most of the survival curve analysis is conducted in terms of D0, Dq, and the mean inactivation dose D, some of the data are also discussed in terms of the linear-quadratic model parameter alpha. Using D it is shown that: (i) the radiosensitivity of human fibroblasts in exponential growth phase does not significantly differ from that of plateau-phase fibroblasts with immediate plating; (ii) the radiosensitivity of plateau-phase cells with delayed plating is correlated to the radiosensitivity of cells with immediate plating: the more radioresistant the cell strain in exponential growth phase, the higher its repair capacity; (iii) the repair capacity of the cell strains is related to their genetic origin. In conclusion, we suggest that the survival curve of growing cells depends on the repair capacity of the cells. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Summary The repair of potentially lethal damage (PLDR) in mammalian cells is expected to be better in quiescent cultures since PLD is supposedly fixed during cycle progression. Plateau phase cultures, therefore, serve as models because of assumed mitotic quiescence. Four established cell lines (V79, CHO, L5178Y and HELA) and one euploid cell strain IMR-90 have been analysed by flow cytometry and electron microscopy to address questions on quiescence in the plateau phase and the effect of holding (induction of quiescence by nutrient privation). In contrast to commonly held views, our results indicate that the quiescent fraction in cultures from transformed cells is exceedingly low (1% or less). Plateau phase cultures of transformed cells are constantly turning over. Euploid cells like the IMR-90 show true quiescence in the plateau phase. Holding causes typical cytopathological changes. These changes have been ultrastructurely characterised. Resistant sub-populations of cells can be selected out under holding-conditions. Such selected cells show completely different radiobiological characteristics, which raise questions on the interpretation of data on PLDR.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Johannes Meißner, Borstel on the occasion of his 75th birthday 相似文献

Recovery from lethal and mutagenic damage during postirradiation holding and low-dose-rate irradiations of cultured hamster cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Survival and mutation to thioguanine resistance were measured in V79-4 hamster cells grown to plateau phase without refeeding and irradiated with 60Co gamma rays. The effects of low-dose-rate irradiation and of postirradiation holding on recovery from gamma-ray damage leading to these two responses were also studied. The responses of these plateau (extended G1)-phase cells to acute irradiation were similar to those we previously found for exponentially growing cells, including the linear relationship between induced mutant frequency and (log) surviving fraction. Irradiation at low dose rate (0.34 rad/min) considerably reduced both the lethal and mutagenic effects of given doses of gamma rays, but the linear mutation-survival relationship was approximately the same as for acute irradiation. In contrast, cells given a 5-hr holding period after acute irradiation showed the anticipated recovery from potentially lethal damage but no recovery from damage leading to mutation. These results are discussed in terms of previously proposed cellular repair processes (sublethal damage repair and potentially lethal damage repair) and the possibility that the radiation damage leading to lethality is different from mutagenic damage. 相似文献

Repair of potentially lethal radiation damage in confluent and non-confluent cultures of human hybrid cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The repair of potentially lethal damage (PLDR) in a gamma-irradiated human hybrid cell line (skin fibroblast X HeLa) and its tumourigenic segregant has been studied as a function of cell density at the time of irradiation and during the postirradiation repair period. The data show that PLDR occurs in both non-confluent and confluent cultures of both cell lines. Furthermore, there is evidence that the extent of PLDR is dependent on cell density and that cell-cell contact may be an important factor in this regard. 相似文献

The influence of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis inhibitors on mammalian cell radiosensitivity was investigated. Four different inhibitors were studied: 3-methoxybenzamide, 3-aminobenzamide, 6-aminonicotinamide and nicotinamide. When exponentially growing or plateau phase cells are incubated before irradiation with non-toxic concentrations of these compounds, their radiosensitivity is enhanced except in the case of nicotinamide. The poly(ADP-ribose) inhibitors do not modify the repair of sublethal damage, but totally suppress the repair of potentially lethal damage, as shown by the survival of CHO cells and of a human osteosarcoma cell line. 相似文献

The effect of hypoxia on the induction of and recovery from damage by radiation alone and in combination with heat has been investigated using plateau-phase Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Postirradiation hypoxia reduced the potentially lethal damage recovery (PLDR) in cells irradiated under an euoxic state and completely eliminated PLDR in cells irradiated under hypoxia. Cells which were maintained under hypoxia during both irradiation and a 4-hr recovery period and then incubated for a further period of 4 hr under euoxic conditions showed PLDR, suggesting that the inhibition of PLDR by hypoxia is reversible. Oligomycin, an inhibitor of energy metabolism, completely eliminated PLDR when present at a concentration of 1 microM during the postirradiation period. Pre- or postirradiation heat treatment at 42.5 degrees C for 30 min appreciably sensitized the cells to the induction of lethality. Thermal enhancement ratio (TER) was 1.7 for cells irradiated and heat treated under hypoxic conditions. The same heat treatment reduced the oxygen enhancement ratio (OER) associated with gamma radiation from 3.1 to 2.5. Cells subjected to this postirradiation heat treatment showed a small extent of PLDR, whereas the pre-heat-treated cells showed as much recovery as non-heat-treated cells. When hypoxic conditions prevailed during the post-treatment incubation period, PLDR was reduced in preheated cells and completely eliminated in postheated cells. The kinetics of interaction between heat and radiation damage were studied by introducing a time gap of 4 hr between the treatments. Cells maintained under euoxic conditions between the treatments showed an appreciable decrease in interaction, suggesting recovery from damage induced by the first treatment. Hypoxic conditions intervening the two treatments largely inhibited the loss of sensitization. Analysis of the results suggests that cells fail to recover from sublethal heat damage when held for 4 hr under hypoxic conditions. Cells held under hypoxic conditions partly recover from the radiation damage which subsequently interacts with sublethal heat damage, resulting in cell lethality. 相似文献

Summary The effect of beta-arabinofuranosyladenine (araA) on the repair of radiation induced DNA damage, as measured by the DNA unwinding technique, was studied in exponentially growing and plateau-phase CHO-cells after exposure to x-rays. Induction of DNA damage by radiation was found to be similar in exponentially growing and plateau-phase cells. In the absence of araA, repair of radiation induced DNA damage proceeded with similar kinetics in exponentially growing and plateau-phase cells. AraA at concentrations between 0–1500 µM inhibited DNA repair both in exponentially growing and in plateau-phase cells. However, the degree of inhibition was significantly higher (by a factor of 3) in plateau-phase cells. A similar degree of repair inhibition by araA was observed in plateau phase cells treated in their conditioned medium, as well as in plateau phase cells that were transfered in fresh growth medium just before treatment initiation. These results indicate the importance of biochemical parameters associated with alterations in the growth state of the cells for the inhibitory effect of araA and may help in the elucidation of the molecular mechanism(s) underlying repair inhibition by inhibitors of DNA replication. 相似文献

The onset of quiescence, changes in X-ray sensitivity, and changes in capacity for potentially lethal damage (PLD) repair of unfed plateau-phase 9L44 cell cultures have been systematically investigated. The quiescent plateau phase in 9L cells was the result of nutrient deprivation and was not a cell contact effect. Eighty-five to 90% of the plateau-phase cells had a G1 DNA content and a growth fraction less than or equal to 0.15. The cell kinetic shifts in the population were temporally correlated with a developing radioresistance, which was characterized by a larger shoulder in the survival curve of the quiescent cells (Dq = 5.71 Gy) versus exponentially growing cells (Dq = 4.48 Gy). When the quiescent plateau-phase cells were refed, an increase in radiosensitivity resulted which approached that of exponentially growing 9L cells. Delayed plating experiments after irradiation of exponentially growing cells, quiescent plateau-phase cells, and synchronized early to mid-G1-phase cells indicated that while significant PLD repair was evident in all three populations, the quiescent 9L cells had a higher PLD repair capacity. Although data for immediate plating indicated that 9L cells may enter quiescence in the relatively radioresistant mid-G1 phase, the enhanced PLD repair capacity of quiescent cells cannot be explained by redistribution into G1 phase. When the unfed quiescent plateau-phase 9L cells were stimulated to reenter the cell cycle by replating into fresh medium, the first G1 was extended by 6 h compared with the G1 of exponentially growing or refed plateau-phase 9L cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Inactivation of diploid yeast by hyperthermia has been studied. DO and Dq decrease with temperature for euoxic and anoxic conditions. The Arrhenius plot shows a break at 52 degrees C; the inactivation energies above and below this temperature are 153 and 94kcal/mol respectively. Hyperthermia (20 min at 51 degrees C) also potentiates the lethal action of gamma rays in diploid yeast cells under both euoxic and anoxic conditions. The interaction between hyperthermic and radiation damage appears to be largely at the sublethal level. The euoxic cells, the hyperthermic potentiation decreases with increasing time between the application of hyperthermia and radiation, being completely lost after 24 hours. However, in the anoxic cells there was no decrease in the hyperthermic potentiation with increasing time interval. These results suggest that yeast cells are capable of repairing hyperthermic sublethal damage, but require oxygen to do so. Thus there is a similarity in the process of repair of sublethal damage caused by ionizing radiation on the one hand and hyperthermia on the other. 相似文献

The radiation sensitivity and potentially lethal damage recovery (PLDR) capacity of A549 human lung carcinoma cells have been studied. For unfed monolayer cultures, radiation sensitivity was greater in plateau phase than in log phase of growth. PLDR was observed when plateau-phase cells were held in their own spent medium postirradiation, such that the dose-response curve with 24 h holding was similar to that for log-phase cells plated immediately after irradiation. The high PLDR capacity of A549 plateau-phase cells (recovery factor between 40 and 70 for 24 h holding after 10 Gy) was reduced 10-fold or more by alkalinizing the pH of the spent medium immediately after irradiation from a value of 6.5 +/- 0.1 to a value of 7.6. Medium alkalinization resulted in an increase in the rate of glycolysis, with subsequent reacidification to a pH of 7.3 within 2 h of the pH adjustment. No change in cell cycle distribution was observed in the plateau-phase cultures up to 32 h after change of medium pH, and no increase in cell density was found after 48 h. A slight increase in the rate of incorporation of radiolabeled thymidine into acid-precipitable material was observed at 4 and 24 h after alkalinization of the medium. While it is not possible at present to define a mechanism for this pH effect, our results demonstrate that, at least for this cell line, variables such as medium pH and glucose concentration can profoundly influence the observation of PLDR. 相似文献

Improvements in tissue culture techniques and growth media have made it possible to culture a range of cells of human origin, both normal and malignant. The most recent addition to the list are endothelial cells from umbilical cord veins. Interesting results in radiosensitivity studies of these human cells have been obtained, some of which may have implications in radiation therapy. (i) Repair of potentially lethal damage (PLDR) has been observed in all cell lines investigated; cells of normal origin repair PLD at least as well as malignant cells, which makes clinical trials of PLDR inhibitors of doubtful usefulness. (ii) No apparent correlation can be made between the extent of PLDR and the traditional radioresponsiveness of a particular tumor type. Indeed, if anything, it could appear to have an inverse correlation since the most resistant tumor cells show the smallest amount of PLD repair. (iii) Dose-rate effects appear to be better predictors of radiosensitivity than PLDR capacity. (iv) Sublethal damage repair, manifest by a dose-rate effect, has also been observed in all human cell lines tested. Cells of normal tissue origin, including fibroblasts and endothelial cells, exhibit a dose-rate effect that is intermediate between that for cells from traditionally resistant tumors (melanoma and osteosarcoma) and cells from more sensitive tumors (neuroblastoma and breast). 相似文献

Unprotected, mammalian cells in plateau phase are at least a factor of four times more sensitive to freeze-thaw damage than exponential-phase cells. The former suffer about 15–20% more sublethal damage after one freeze-thaw cycle than the latter and repair this damage more slowly. Exposure of plateau-phase cells to freeze-thaw damage lengthens the time required to traverse the cell cycle in the exposed generation. These cells may more closely represent the state in tissues than exponential-phase populations. 相似文献

Recovery from sublethal and potentially lethal damage in an X-ray-sensitive CHO cell 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
It has been suggested that DNA strand breaks are the molecular lesions responsible for radiation-induced lethality and that their repair is the basis for the recovery of irradiated cells from sublethal and potentially lethal damage. EM9 is a Chinese hamster ovary cell line that is hypersensitive to killing by X rays and has been reported to have a defect in the rate of rejoining of DNA single-strand breaks. To establish the importance of DNA strand-break repair in cellular recovery from sublethal and potentially lethal X-ray damage, those two parameters, recovery from sublethal and potentially lethal damage, were studied in EM9 cells as well as in EM9's parental repair-proficient strain, AA8. As previously reported, EM9 is the more radiosensitive cell line, having a D0 of 0.98 Gy compared to a D0 of 1.56 Gy for AA8 cells. DNA alkaline elution studies suggest that EM9 cells repair DNA single-strand breaks at a slower rate than AA8 cells. Neutral elution analysis suggests that EM9 cells also repair DNA double-strand breaks more slowly than AA8 cells. All of these data are consistent with the hypothesis that DNA strand-break ligation is defective in EM9 cells and that this defect accounts for increased radiosensitivity. The kinetics and magnitude of recovery from sublethal and potentially lethal damage, however, were similar for both EM9 and AA8 cells. Six-hour recovery ratios for sublethal damage repair were found to be 2.47 for AA8 cells and 1.31 for EM9 cells. Twenty-four-hour recovery ratios for potentially lethal damage repair were 3.2 for AA8 and 3.3 for EM9 cells. Both measurements were made at approximately equitoxic doses. Thus, the defect in EM9 cells that confers radiosensitivity and affects DNA strand-break rejoining does not affect sublethal damage repair or potentially lethal damage repair. 相似文献
