  • Title: Cell progression after selective irradiation of DNA during the cell cycle.
    Author: Schneiderman MH, Hofer KG, Schneiderman GS.
    Journal: Radiat Res; 1988 Nov; 116(2):283-91. PubMed ID: 3186937.
    Abstract:
    Chinese hamster ovary cells were labeled with [125I]iododeoxyuridine (125IUdR, 0.1184 MBq/ml for 20 min) and the labeled mitotic cells were collected by selective detachment ("mitotic shake off"). The cells were pooled, plated into replicate flasks, and allowed to progress through the cell cycle. At several times after plating, corresponding to G1, S, late S, and G2 plus M, cells were cooled to stop cell cycle progression and to facilitate accumulation of 125I decays. Evaluation of cell progression into the subsequent mitosis indicated that accumulation of additional 125I decays during G1 or S phase was eight to nine times less effective in inducing progression delay than decays accumulated during G2. The results support our previous hypothesis that DNA damage per se is not responsible for radiation-induced progression delay. Instead, 125I-labeled DNA appears to act as a source of radiation that associates during the G2 phase of the cell cycle with another radiosensitive structure in the cell nucleus, and damage to the latter structure by overlap irradiation is responsible for progression delay (M.
