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 radionuclides. AEE located
exclusively in the cytoplasm produce low-LET type cell
survival curves, whereas DNA-associated AEE cause high-LET
type survival curves. To determine whether 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.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 different doses
of 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 for 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. Taken
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 Federal Ministry of Education and
