abstract = {OBJECTIVES: Phosphorylation of histone H2AX occurs at sites
flanking DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and can provide a
measure of the number of DSBs within a cell. We investigated
whether the mean intensity and the mean number of
radiation-induced γ-H2AX foci per cell vary as a function
of radiation quality and dose. Furthermore we investigated
whether the mean intensity and/or the mean number of
radiation-induced γ-H2AX foci is correlated with the
induction of apoptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Jurkat cells
were irradiated with different doses of either low linear
energy transfer (LET) 137Cs γ-rays or high LET 241Am
α-particles. The γ-H2AX foci were detected using
immunocytochemistry and quantified by measuring the mean
signal intensity of γ-H2AX foci per cell using flow
cytometry and by counting the number of γ-H2AX foci with a
fluorescence microscope. Apoptosis 24h after irradiation was
detected via Annexin-V-FITC/ PI-assay. RESULTS: The mean
number of γ-H2AX foci per cell increase with dose for both
radiation qualities and are fairly identical at 1 Gy. The
mean intensity of γ-H2AX foci after α-irradiation is
significantly increased when compared to γ-irradiation at
the same radiation dose. α-particles induce more apoptosis
than γ-rays at the same dose and at a similar mean number
of radiation-induced γ-H2AX foci per cell. CONCLUSION: The
induction of apoptosis in jurkat cells as well as the mean
signal intensity, but not the mean number, of γ-H2AX foci
per cell depends on the LET.},
