ABSTRACT

Objective:

In the present study we observed the general pattern of the adaptive response of thymocyte apoptosis and cell cycle progression induced by low dose radiation (LDR).

Methods:

Kunming male mice were irradiated with the inductive dose (D1, 75 mGy) and the challenging dose (D2, 1.5 Gy). The intervals between D1 and D2 were 3, 6, 12, 24 and 60 hours. The changes of thymocyte apoptotic bodies (TAB) and cell cycle progression were measured with flow cytometry with the thymocytes cultured for 4, 20 and 44 hours, respectively, 18 hours after irradiation with D2.

Results:

When the intervals between D1 and D2 were 3, 6 and 12 hours, the percentages of TAB in the D1 + D2 groups in the thymocytes cultured for 4 and 20 hours were significantly lower than those in the D2 groups (P<0.05) and the percentages of G0/G1 and G2 + M phase cells decreased in varying degrees, while the percentages of S phase cells increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01).

Conclusion:

The results mentioned above indicate that when the mice were irradiated with 75 mGy (D1, 12.5 mGy/min) 3~12 hours before 1.5 Gy (D2, 0.285 Gy/min) exposure, the adaptive response of apoptosis and cell cycle progression may be induced with the thymocytes cultured for 4 and 20 hours after whole-body irradiation with D2.
