Abstract:Abstract. Chinese hamster ovary cells were arrested in the G2 phase of the cell cycle by X-irradiation. When subsequently treated with 5 mM caffeine the arrested population progressed into mitosis as a synchronous cohort where it was harvested by mitotic cell selection. This procedure provides a means to isolate cell populations treated in G2, for the investigation of G2 arrest. Comparisons were made of the number of cells retrieved from G2 arrest with the number suffering arrest, as determined by flow cytometry and by matrix algebraic simulations of irradiated cell progression. the retrieved population was not significantly less than expected for doses up to 3.5 Gy, indicating that the retrieval process does not favour the isolation of any population subset below this dose. Cell populations retrieved from arrest at varying intervals (0-3 h) after irradiation (0-3.5 Gy) showed an increase in survival with increase in interval, consistent with repair of potentially lethal damage. the repair curves (surviving fraction us time) were each described by a single exponential. G2 cells that were brought to mitosis without a period of arrest exhibited the same radiation response as cells irradiated in mitosis.
