Relationship between transformation of human embryo lung cell and DNA strand break induced by γ-irradiation

  • 1. Institute of Radiation Medicine, Beijing (China)

Description

It was studied that effects of γ-irradiation on transformation and DNA strand break of human embryo lung cell by means of cell and molecular biology. The cell transformation appeared at 20th passage post 0.25-5.0 Gy γ-irradiation. The transformation was relative to doses and post-time of irradiation. DNA strand break was detected by NTA (nick translation assay in situ) in this report. The result indicated DNA strand break was arisen from γ-ray with different doses. DNA strand break also was relative to radiation doses as cell transformation. Correlation between DNA strand break and cell transformation was analysed. The analysis indicated that effect of cell transformation induced by radiation enhanced with increase of DNA strand brea. It was suggested that carcinogenesis by radiation is closely relative to DNA damage
