abstract = {Purpose: Ionizing radiation causes various types of DNA
damage e.g. single strand breaks (SSB) and double strand
breaks (DSB), whereby the SSB/DSB ratio is shifted toward
the DSB with increasing LET. For the DNA-incorporated Auger
electron emitter Iodine-125 a SSB/DSB ratio of 5.4:1 is
calculated based on computer simulations. In the presented
work the SSB/DSB ratio of DNA-incorporated Iodine-125 was
experimentally determined and compared to external
homogenous γ-irradiation.Materials and methods:
Iodine-125-iododeoxyuridine (I-125-UdR) was incorporated
into the DNA of SCL-II cells and cells were subsequently
frozen for decay accumulation. Accordingly, external
γ-irradiation (Cs-137) experiments were performed in frozen
cells. After exposure the neutral or alkaline Comet Assay
was performed to quantify DSB or DSB and SSB, respectively.
Automated quantification of the comets was performed using
the Olive Tail Moment (Metafer CometScan; MetaSystems).
Calculation of absorbed dose for Auger electrons on cellular
level is extremely biased due to the exclusive DNA
localization of I-125-UdR. To avoid dose calculation the
γ-H2AX assay was used in order to allow the comparison of
the Comet Assay data between both investigated radiation
qualities.Results: For low-LET γ-radiation, a SSB/DSB ratio
of 10:1 was determined. In contrast, a lower SSB/DSB ratio
of 6:1 was induced by DNA-incorporated Iodine-125 which
compares very well to the calculated values of Pomplun and
co-authors.Conclusion: DNA-incorporated Iodine-125 induces a
high-LET type DNA damage pattern in respect to SSB/DSB
ratio.Keywords: Auger Electron Emitter; Comet Assay;
