Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:60.17(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)When living cells are irradiated with radiation and complex damage is formed within a few nanometers of DNA, it is believed to induce biological effects such as cell death. In general, complex DNA damage formed in cells can be detected experimentally by fluorescence microscopy, because the area around the damage site emits light like a focus point when a fluorophore is used. However, this detection method has not been able to analyze the degree of complexity of DNA damage. Therefore, in this study, we addressed on the measured focus size and evaluated the degree of complexity of DNA damage using a track structure analysis code. As a result, we found that as DNA damage becomes more complex, the focus size also increases. Our findings are expected to provide a new analytical method for elucidating the initial factors of radiation biological effects.

Times Cited Count:12 Percentile:78.96(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)In this study, we compare the therapeutic effect between [At]NaAt and [
I]NaI. In vitro analysis of double-stranded DNA break (DSB) and colony formation assay were performed using K1-NIS cells. [
At]NaAt induced higher numbers of DSBs and had a reduced colony formation than [
I]NaI. In K1-NIS mice, dose-dependent therapeutic effects were observed in both [
At]NaAt and [
I]NaI. The superior therapeutic effect of [
At]NaAt suggests the promising clinical applicability of targeted alpha therapy using [
At]NaAt in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer refractory to standard [
I]NaI treatment.

Such clustered damage yields have been evaluated by means of computational approaches; however, the simulation validity has not been sufficiently made yet. Meanwhile, the experimental technique to detect clustered DNA damage has been evolved in the recent decades, so both approaches with simulation and experiment get used to be available for investigating clustered damage recently. In this study, we have developed a simple model for estimating clustered damage yield based on the spatial density of ionization and electronic excitation events obtained by the PHITS code, and compared the computational results to the experimental clustered damage coupled with base damage (BD) measured by gel electrophoresis and atomic force microscopy. The computational results agreed well with experimental fractions of clustered damage of strand breaks (SB) and BD, when the yield ratio of BD/SSB is assumed to be 1.3. From the comparison of complex DNA double-strand break coupled with BDs between simulation and experimental data, it was suggested that aggregation degree of the events along electron track reflects the complexity of DNA damage. The resent simulation enables to quantify the type of clustered damage which cannot be measured in in vitro experiment, which succeeded in interpreting the experimental detection efficiency for clustered BD.

Studies have been reported that metabolites are useful markers for biodosimetry. However, these studies only focused on non-cellular biofluid (e.g., serum, plasma, urine, or saliva). Blood cell metabolites may reflect the health status or environmental stresses differently than metabolites of plasma. Here, we report changes in the metabolites of blood cells after X-ray irradiation of C57BL/6J mice. Blood cell metabolites were measured by capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry. We found that 106 metabolites were changed significantly after irradiation. We identified that 2'-deoxycytidine, choline, and N6-acetyllysine as potentially useful discriminating markers of radiation exposure. These metabolites have not been reported previously. Furthermore, we established a prediction panel of the exposure dose using stepwise regression analysis. These findings suggest that blood cell metabolites may be useful biomarkers to estimate exposure doses during unexpected radiation incidents.
