abstract = {To determine the genotoxic effects after exposure to
Iodine-123 labeled 5-Iodo-2´-deoxyuridine (I-123-UdR) in
comparison to α- and γ-irradiation, micronucleus (MN)
induction and γ-H2AX formation were analyzed.Jurkat cells
were either exposed to I-123-UdR for 20 h or irradiated with
different doses of γ-rays (Cs-137, 0.7 Gy/min) or
α-particles (Am-241, 0.032 Gy/min). Cells were assayed for
MN formation employing automated image analysis
(MetaSystems, Germany). The γ-H2AX foci, as a measure of
DNA double-strand-breaks (dsb), were quantified by measuring
the mean overall signal intensity of foci per cell using
flow cytometry and by counting the number of individual foci
with a fluorescence microscope.γ-H2AX foci number per cell
showed a much more pronounced increase after exposure to
I-123-UdR per dose unit when compared to γ- and
α-irradiation. However, the mean intensity of total foci
signal per cell, as measured by flow cytometry, was very
similar for exposure to I-123-UdR and α-particles. Single
γ-H2AX foci induced by I-123-UdR appeared to be smaller
and/or less intense stained than those after α-irradiation
and resembled foci induced by γ-rays. The distribution of
the cellular γ-H2AX fluorescence signals showed that the
dose distribution of single cells was more heterogenous
after exposure to I-123-UdR and α-particles when compared
to γ-irradiation. MN induction was almost identical for all
three investigated radiation qualities.γ-H2AX foci are very
efficiently induced by I-123-UdR per unit dose when compared
to γ- and α-radiation, probably because almost every I-123
decay occurred within the DNA. The presumed complexity of
DNA-lesions caused by DNA-associated AEE is neither
reflected in size nor intensity of individual foci. The
microscopic quantification of γ-H2AX foci indicates that
I-123 induced dsb are less prone to be transferred into an
MN. The MN induction after exposure to I-123-UdR and
α-particles could be underestimated because highly damaged
cells within the heterogenous exposed cell population are
not adequately represented in the MN assay. As
α-particle-induced foci are aligned along the track,
individual foci are hard to count, we suggest that flow
cytometry is a more appropriate analysis tool to quantify
LET-dependent γ-H2AX foci induction. Funded by
