abstract = {OBJECTIVES: The biological effectiveness of Auger electron
emitters (AEE) is attributed to the numerous short-range
electrons released during the decay of the radionuclide.
Damage on cellular level depends largely on the
intracellular distribution of the nuclide. AEE located
exclusively in the cytoplasm cause e.g. low-LET type cell
survival in the colony-forming-assay, whereas DNA-associated
AEE cause high-LET type cell survival. To determine whether
DNA-associated AEE induce high-LET type genotoxic effects
micronucleus induction and γ-H2AX formation were analyzed
after exposure to I-123-iododeoxyuridine (I-123-UdR) in
comparison to high- and low-LET radiation in vitro.MATERIALS
AND METHODS: Human T-lymphoma Jurkat cells were either
exposed to I-123-UdR (0.5-50 kBq/ml) for 20 h or irradiated
with low-LET Cs-137 γ-rays or high-LET Am-241 α-particles.
Cells were assayed for micronucleus formation (Cytochalasin
B assay) employing automated image analysis (MetaSystems,
Germany). The γ-H2AX foci were 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.RESULTS: In contrast to γ- and
α-irradiation the numbers of γ-H2AX foci per cell showed a
much more pronounced increase after exposure to I-123-UdR.
However, the mean intensity of γ H2AX signals per cell, as
measured by flow cytometry, was very similar after exposure
to I-123-UdR and α-particles. Single γ H2AX foci induced
by I-123-UdR appear to be smaller and/or less intense
stained than those after α-irradiation and resemble γ H2AX
foci induced by γ-rays. Micronucleus induction was almost
identical for all three investigated radiation
qualities.CONCLUSIONS: I-123-UdR is a very potent inducer of
γ H2AX foci in comparison to γ- and α-radiation. Taking
into account the very low dose rate of I-123-UdR exposure
the effect is even more pronounced. Micronucleus induction
does not depend on radiation quality in Jurkat
cells.Supported by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und
