Journal of Radiation Research 2002 Volume 43, Issue 1, March Pre-irradiation at a Low Dose-rate Blunted p53 Response https://doi.org/10.1269/jrr.43.1 Journal of Radiation Research, Volume 43, Issue 1, March 2002, Pages 1–9, Akihisa Takahashi* 2002/3/1 Akihisa Takahashi * 1Department of Biology, Nara Medical University, 840 Shijo-cho, Kashihara, Nara 634–8521, Japan *Corresponding author: Phone; +81–744–29–8812, Fax; +81–744–25–3345, E-mail; atakahas@naramed-u.ac.jp "1-9" We investigated whethe chonic iadiation at a low dose-ate intefees with the p53-centeed signal tansduction pathway induced by adiation in human cultued cells and C57BL/6N mice. In in vito expeiments, we found that a challenge with X-ay iadiation immediately afte chonic iadiation esulted in lowe levels of p53 than those obseved afte the challenge alone in glioblastoma cells (A-172). In addition, the levels of p53-centeed apoptosis and its elated poteins afte the challenge wee stongly coelated with the above-mentioned phenomena in squamous cell cacinoma cells (SAS/neo). In in vivo expeiments, the accumulation of p53 and Bax, and the induction of apoptosis wee obseved dose-dependently in mouse spleen at 12 h afte a challenge with X-ays (3.0 Gy). Howeve, we found significant suppession of p53 and Bax accumulation and the induction of apoptosis 12 h afte challenge iadiation at 3.0 Gy with a high dose-ate following chonic pe-iadiation (1.5 Gy, 0.001 Gy/min). These findings suggest that chonic pe-iadiation suppessed the p53 function though adiation-induced signaling and/o p53 stability.

Using this method, the esponses of Q tumo cells as well as total tumo (P+Q) cells within muine solid tumos to vaious DNA-damaging teatments wee evaluated. Based on this evaluation, combining with tiapazamine, a well-known bioeductive agent, and/o heat teatment at mild tempeatues was thought to be a pomising modality fo cance theapy in tems of conventional anticance teatment-esistant Q cell contol. Recently, ou method fo detecting the Q-cell esponse using P cell labeling with BdU and the MN fequency assay was also shown to be applicable to an apoptosis detection assay. Meanwhile, ou method fo detecting the intatumo Q-cell esponse was also applicable towad high linea enegy tansfe adiation, including eacto neutons. Thus, using ou method, a new neuton captue compound that has the potential to be distibuted in neuton captue theapy-esistant intatumo Q cell populations is now unde development.

WF/Fi at cells wee 1.7-times moe adiosensitive than SD at cells, wheeas no diffeence was obseved following low-LET iadiation. A compaison of the cell suvival yielded RBEs of 2.8 and 4.5 fo SD and WF/Fi at cells, espectively. As peviously obseved, with inceasing LET of paticles, the cell-suvival cuves appoximate an exponential function of the dose. On the contay, fo low-LET, the suvival cuves showed a maked initial shoulde.This in vito cellula model, using epithelial cells of the uppe aiway, povides a suitable system to estimate the mechanism involved in adiosensitivity afte high-LET iadiation. The esponses to adiation-induced lethal effects within a same type of cell wee dependent on the iadiation paametes, but might be modulated by the individual sensitivity unde genetic o epigenetic facto contols.

On the contay, the RTF fo the SD pimay cells inceased with a decease of the LET adiation when the elative suvival was highe than about 40%. Theefoe, the RTF values eached 4–5 fo α-paticles and 10–12 fo γ-ays.The RTF can be elated to the intinsic adiosensitivity of the at epithelial cells. Howeve, the diffeence in the adiation-induced RTF fo SD o WF/Fi pimay cells seems to be due to the development, unde genetic contol, of the initial lesion to the neoplastic state.

The pecentages of dead cells wee analyzed with a multiwell plate eade to measue the fluoescence intensity of popidium iodide befoe and afte a digitonin teatment. The sensitizing effect of PR-350 on cell killing by high-dose iadiation was confimed by time-couse, dose-dependency, and micoscopic obsevations. In five of seven panceatic cance cell lines in which the numbe of dead cells was detemined 5 days afte 30 Gy iadiation in the pesence of PR-350, the numbe was significantly inceased unde hypoxic conditions, but not unde aeobic conditions. The selective adiosensitive effect of PR-350 on hypoxic cells was also confimed by flow cytomety. The esults indicate that PR-350 can enhance the killing of panceatic cance cells by high-dose iadiation unde hypoxia, which suppots its clinical adiosensitizing effects when administeed duing intaopeative iadiation to panceatic cance.

Paticula attention was given to any diffeence in the neuton-dose estimates between the two dosimety systems. The study subjects wee 51,532 atomic-bomb suvivos egisteed in a database of the Reseach Institute fo Radiation Biology and Medicine of Hioshima Univesity (RIRBM). The esults obtained by both dosimety systems ae simila: the excess elative isk pe Sv fo leukemia motality and all cances except leukemia is significantly highe compaed to the contol goup. In addition, the diffeence in the excess elative isks between the two systems is not significant. Theefoe, it is indicated that a modification of the neuton-dose estimates would not makedly change the conclusions about the cance motality isk.

How is the quality? We tested the quality of DNA fom achival tissues of atomic-bomb suvivos stoed in fomalin fo decades with the paametes of gene amplification efficiency by a polymease chain eaction. All of the DNA extacted fom the tissues peseved in fomalin fo 30 yeas amplified the 54-and 61-base pais of the DNA fagments successfully. The diect sequencing of the PCR poducts confimed the accuate amplification of the taget sequence. A futhe tial to amplify the longe sequence of 111 base pais succeeded in 20% of the samples tested. Fom these esults, we popose a new utility of achival samples fo the analysis of single nucleotide sequence polymophism of genes, no matte how long the samples have been peseved in fomalin.

Radiation-chemical expeiments using doanidazole showed that (1) unlike O2, it had high eactivity towad not only hydated electons (eaq-), but also hydoxyl adicals (·OH), (2) the educed intemediates of doanidasole had no ability to induce immediate stand beaks of colE1 plasmid DNA, (3) doanidazole enhanced adiation-induced DNA stand beaks of colE1 plasmid DNA in the aqueous state, wheeas it did not enhance the base alteation, such as 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine, (4) it enhanced the adiation-induced fomation of stand beaks with 3'-phosophate and 3'- phosphoglycolate temini, and (5) it was bound to DNA afte iadiation. These facts evealed that the majoity of adiation-chemical popeties of doanidazole, except fo the high eactivity towad ·OH, wee simila to those of oxygen.

The esults demonstate that TMG foms a stable phenoxyl adical at pH > 6.8. The thus-fomed phenoxyl adical shows pH-dependent decay kinetics and is dispopotionated by 2nd ode kinetics at pH 2.3. It was obseved that the TMG eactivity towads a halogenated peoxyl adical inceases with the numbe of halogen atoms at the cabon atom having a peoxyl goup. The eaction between the TMG phenoxyl adical and ascobic acid was also examined using a pulse adiolysis technique. The esults indicate that the TMG phenoxyl adical is epaied by ascobate. Kinetic studies indicate that TMG may act as an antioxidant to epai fee-adical damage to some biologically impotant compounds. The one-electon eduction potential fo TMG was found to be 0.522 V ± 0.06 vs. NHE.

It was found, that the iadiation of at males with dose of 3 Gy of gamma adiation caused latent cytogenetic damage to the live, which was expessed duing the couse of an induced polifeation of hepatocytes (by patial hepatectomy) by lowe polifeative activity and a high fequency of chomosomal abeations. In the pogeny of iadiated males (in the F1 geneation), the adiation damage to DNA was manifested by simila changes, i.e. by lowe polifeation activity and incease in “spontaneus” chomosomal abeation occuence in live egeneation afte patial hepatectomy. Iadiating the pogeny of iadiated males (the total adiation load of the pogeny being 3 Gy + 3 Gy) caused slighte changes in compaed with iadiating the pogeny of non-iadiated contol males (the total adiation load of the pogeny being 0 Gy + 3 Gy), which suggests some kind of adaptive esponse, which was also found in othe expeimental systems and paametes. An analogous couse of RNA and DNA quantitative changes in the live of the F0 and F1 geneations of ats confims the patial tansmission of adiation damage of genom to the pogeny.

Since thee was an individual diffeence in the susceptibility to pica, we selected ats that actually ate kaolin following X-ay iadiation, and used them fo the expeiment. The total-body iadiation (TBI) inceased kaolin consumption in a dose-dependent manne (sham, 0.05 ± 0.03 (SEM) g; 2 Gy, 0.38 ± 0.11 g; 4 Gy, 1.54 ± 0.28 g; 8 Gy, 3.55 ± 0.67 g), and the inceased kaolin consumption afte 4 Gy of TBI was inhibited by a peteatment with the seotonin 5-HT3 ecepto antagonist ondanseton (2 mg/kg, i.p.) (saline, 1.49 ± 0.33 g; ondanseton, 0.75 ± 0.11 g). Futhemoe, 4 Gy of abdominal iadiation was moe effective to induce pica than that of head iadiation (abdomen: 0.37 ± 0.05 g, head: 0.06 ± 0.01 g). These findings suggested that peipheal seotonegic pathway is pedominantly involved in the development of adiation-induced pica in ats and that the adiation-induced pica could be useful as a behavioal index fo the seveity of adiation-induced vomiting in ats.

The spead-out Bagg peak used hee successfully and satisfactoily etained its high-dose localization in the defined egion. A histological examination showed that necotic tissue damage, hemohage in the thalamus, and vasodilatations aound the necotic egion wee induced at 8 weeks afte 100 Gy iadiation. The egions with tissue damage coelated well with those expected fom the adiation-dose distibution, indicating an advantage of chaged cabon paticles fo iadiating esticted bain egions. An X-ay fluoescent analysis demonstated a decease in the concentations of K and P, and an incease in the concentations of Cl, Fe, Zn in the damaged egion at 8 weeks post-iadiation, though no significant changes wee obseved befoe 4 weeks of post-iadiation. This may indicate that even the vey high adiation doses used hee did not induce acute and immediate neuonal cell death, in contast with ischemic bain injuy whee acute neuonal cell death occued and the elemental concentations changed within a day afte the induction of ischemia.

Apoptosis was assessed by checking DNA ladde fomation, the pesence of sub-G1 peaks in flow cytomety, and chomatin condensation. A adiosensitizing effect of doanidazole was also confimed by a soft-aga colony assay of suviving cells. In the assay of DNA ladde fomation, DNA fagmentation was obseved following iadiation unde an aeobic o hypoxic condition with o without doanidazole. The popotions of the cells at the sub-G1 peak in a flow cytometic measuement was not vey diffeent among the iadiations at 5 Gy unde the aeobic condition, 15 Gy unde hypoxia, and 10 Gy with 1 mM doanidazole unde hypoxia. The faction of cells with chomatin condensation was found to be significantly inceased with doanidazole up to 3 mM when applied unde hypoxic iadiation, but did not incease even at 10 mM. The sensitize enhancement atio was estimated to be about 1.7 with a concentation of 1 mM. This enhancement atio was not diffeent fom that obseved by assaying cell suvivals. On the othe hand, doanidazole showed no adiosensitizing effect unde aeobic conditions with 1 mM. In conclusion, the adiation-induced apoptosis of L5178Y cells was enhanced by doanidazole unde hypoxia.

In this study, to elucidate the natue of allelic losses, we efined the loss egions on chomosomes 4, 12 and 19 of the tumos fom the F1 mice and then analyzed them cytogenetically. The esults epesent evidence of a wide ange of allelic losses owing to mitotic ecombination on chomosomes 4 and 19 in the tumos, possibly eflecting functional losses of putative tumo-suppesso genes. It is suggested that the geneation of these lage homozygous chomosomal segments pobably containing the affected genes is one of the genetic alteations esponsible fo tumoigenesis.

By DNA sequencing, we detemined 50 spontaneous mutants fom the ΔsoxR stains, and found that 36% wee both base substitutions and IS insetions, 14% fameshifts and 10% deletions. Among the base substitutions, G:C→T:A tansvesions and G:C→A:T tansitions pedominated, followed by A:T→T:A tansvesions. We detemined 54 spontaneous mutants fom the SoxS ovepoducing stains, and found that 37% wee IS insetions, 31% base substitutions, 17% fameshifts, 9% deletions and 6% duplications. Among the base substitutions, G:C→T:A tansvesions dominated, followed by A:T →T:A tansvesions and G:C→A:T tansitions. These esults wee simila to those fom the soxRS+ stains. Thus, it is suggested that the soxRS-egulated genes do not play a significant ole in the defense against spontaneous mutagenesis.

When male Wista MS stain ats (8 weeks) eceived whole-body iadiation of 17.0 Gy, 7 h late the activity of heme oxygenase in the live was significantly enhanced (2.5 times). The level of HO-1 mRNA expession was inceased by 2.3 and 4.0 times 2 and 4 h afte adiation, and then declined at 7 and 10 h to the level of 2.0 and 1.6 times of the contol. When the X-ay dose was vaied fom 4.0 to 21.7 Gy, the tansciption of the gene was enhanced at all doses and the level of activation was dose-dependent. Finally, westen blotting of iadiated live demonstated a significant incease in the level of HO-1 induced by X-ays, peaking at 4 h. Thus, X-ays wee confimed to be stessos that induce acute HO-1 expession tansiently in the live.

The Ku potein plays a key ole in multiple nuclea pocesses, e.g., DNA epai, chomosome maintenance, tansciption egulation, and V(D)J ecombination. The mechanism undelying the egulation of all the divese functions of Ku is still unclea, although it seems that Ku is a multifunctional potein that woks in nuclei. On the othe hand, seveal studies have epoted cytoplasmic o cell suface localization of Ku in vaious cell types. To claify the fundamental chaacteistics of Ku, we have examined the expession, heteodimeization, subcellula localization, chomosome location, and molecula mechanisms of the nuclea tanspot of Ku70 and Ku80. The mechanism that egulates fo nuclea localization of Ku70 and Ku80 appeas to play, at least in pat, a key ole in egulating the physiological function of Ku in vivo.

Human blood that was collected eithe befoe o afte dinking a 700 ml bee was in vito iadiated with 200 kVp X ays o 50 keV/μm cabon ions. The elation between the adiation dose and the abeation fequencies (fagments and dicentics) was significantly (p ?? 0.05) lowe fo lymphocytes collected 3 h afte bee dinking than those befoe dinking. Fitting the dose esponse to a linea quadatic model showed that the alpha tem of cabon ions was significantly (p ?? 0.05) deceased by bee dinking. A decease of dicentic fomation was detected as ealy as 0.5 h afte bee dinking, and lasted not shote than 4.5 h. The mitotic index of lymphocytes was highe afte bee dinking than befoe, indicating that a division delay would not be esponsible fo the low abeations induced by bee dinking. An in vito teatment of nomal lymphocytes with 0.1 M ethanol, which coesponded to a concentation of 6-times highe than the maximum ethanol concentation in the blood afte bee dinking, educed the dicentic fomation caused by X-ay iadiation, but not by cabon-ion iadiation. The bee-induced eduction of dicentic fomation was not affected by seum. It is concluded that bee could contain non-ethanol elements that educe the chomosome damage of lymphocytes induced by high-LET adiation.

The gowth delay of NFSa fibosacoma in mice was investigated following vaious daily doses given with cabon ions o those given with cesium γ-ays, and the RBE was detemined. Animal tumos wee iadiated with cabon ions of vaious LET (linea enegy tansfe) in a 6-cm SOBP (spead-out Bagg peak), and the isoeffect doses; i.e. the dose necessay to induce a tumo gowth delay of 15 days wee studied. The isoeffect dose fo cabon ions of 14 and 20 keV/μm inceased with an incease in the numbe of factions up to 4 factions. The incease in the isoeffect dose with the faction numbe was small fo cabon ions of 44 keV/μm, and was not obseved fo 74 keV/μm. The α and β values of the linea-quadatic model fo the adiation dose-cell suvival elationship wee calculated by the Fe-plot analysis method. The α values inceased linealy with an incease in the LET, while the β values wee independent of the LET. The α/β atio was 129 ± 10 Gy fo γ-ays, and inceased with an incease in the LET, eaching 475 ± 168 Gy fo 74 keV/μm cabon ions. The RBE fo cabon ions elative to Cs-137 γ-ays inceased with the LET. The RBE values fo 14 and 20 keV/μm cabon ions wee 1.4 and independent of the numbe of factions, while those fo 44 and 74 keV/μm inceased fom 1.8 to 2.3 and fom 2.4 to 3.0, espectively, when the numbe of factions inceased fom 1 to 4. Inceasing the numbe of factions futhe fom 4 to 6 was not associated with an incease in the RBE. These esults togethe with ou ealie study on the skin eaction suppot the use of an RBE of 3.0 in clinical tials of 80 keV/μm cabon beams. The RBE values fo low doses of cabon beams wee also consideed.

In these models, the epai function was simply assumed to be semi-logaithmically linea (i.e., monoexponential), o a fist-ode pocess, which has been expeimentally contadicted. Fowle, howeve, suggested that the epai of adiation damage might be lagely a second-ode pocess athe than a fist-ode one, and pesented data in suppot of this hypothesis. In addition, a second-ode epai function is pefeed to an n-exponential epai function fo the eason that only one paamete is used in the fome instead of 2n-1 paametes fo the latte, although both epai functions show a good fit to the expeimental data. Howeve, accoding to a second-ode epai function, the epai ate depends on the dose, which is incompatible with the expeimental data. We, theefoe, evised the models fo mixed iadiation by Zaide and Rossi and by Suzuki, by substituting a ‘ecipocal-time’ patten of the epai function, which is deived fom the assumption that the epai ate is independent of the dose in a second-ode epai function, fo a fist-ode one in eduction and inteaction factos of the models, although the undelying mechanism fo this assumption cannot be well-explained. The eduction facto, which educes the contibution of the squae of a dose to cell killing in the linea-quadatic model and its deivatives, and the inteaction facto, which also educes the contibution of the inteaction of two o moe doses of diffeent types of adiation, wee fomulated by using a ‘ecipocal-time’ patten of the epai function. Cell suvivals calculated fom the olde and the newly modified models wee compaed in tems of the dose-ate by assuming vaious types of single and mixed iadiation. The esult implies that the newly modified models fo mixed iadiation can expess o pedict cell suvival moe accuately than the olde ones, especially when iadiation is polonged at low dose ates.

When the lavae wee iadiated by 50 Gy to 300 Gy cabon ions on the 3d day of the 4th insta, the hemocyte densities did not change fo a while, though they gadually inceased at a late stage, but wee finally still significantly lowe than those of uniadiated contols. The hemocyte densities of the lavae iadiated at diffeent developmental stages showed suppessed incements, and cabon-ion iadiation given to lavae at ealy stages compaed to the late stages had a significant suppessive effect on the hemocyte densities. On unilateal iadiated lavae a hemocyte intemediate incement between those of bilateal iadiated lavae and uniadiated contols was obseved. The pecentage of dead hemocytes was obviously highe fo iadiated lavae than uniadiated contols duing the late 5th insta. Thus, it is evident that cabon-ion adiosugey on hemopoietic ogans of silkwom induced not only a quantitative change, but also a qualitative change in the hemocytes.

Both of the clones expessing SY-I κB became adiosensitive, compaed with the paental MO54 and T98 cells. A teatment with hebimycin A o genistein did not change the adiosensitivity of cells expessing SY-IκB, but made both the MO54 and T98 paental cells moe sensitive to ionizing adiation. A teatment with TNF-α induced DNA fagmentation and apoptosis in cells expessing SY-IκB, but not in MO54 and T98 cells. The suvival afte X-ay exposue of the paental MO54 cells was slightly inceased by a TNF-α teatment, but that of the paental T98 cells did not change. The change in sensitivity to ulta-violet (UV) adiation and adiamycin in MO54-SY4 cells was vey simila to that fo X-ay sensitivity, but no change was obseved in T98-SY14 cells. Significant sublethal damage epai was obseved in T98 cells, wheeas MO54 cells showed little epai activity. The expession of p53 was enhanced in the paental MO54 cells, while the p53 levels in the MO54-SY4, and in the paent and clonal T98 cells, did not change. Ou data suggest that the seine and tyosine phosphoylation of IκB-α may play a ole in detemining the adiosensitivity of malignant glioma cells.
