An increasing body of data indicates that ionizing radiation affects the nervous system and alters its function. Recently, we reported that chemotaxis of ${it C. elegans}$ during the salt chemotaxis learning (SCL), that is conditioned taste aversion to NaCl, was modulated by carbon ion irradiation, i.e. accelerated decrease in chemotaxis to NaCl during the SCL. However, we had no direct evidence for the interaction of ionizing radiation with the central neuronal tissue (nerve ring) in ${it C. elegans}$. Microbeam irradiation is useful to analyze direct radiation effects at a cellular or tissue level. Thus, we applied the microbeam irradiation of the ${it C. elegans}$ nerve ring and examined the effect on the SCL.

To carry out the radio-microsurgery study using silkworm, ${it Bombyx mori}$, we have already developed the specific irradiation systems for eggs and third to fifth instar larvae. In this study, a modified application consisting of the first instar silkworm larvae was further developed using heavy-ion microbeams. This system includes aluminum plates with holes specially designed to fix the first instar silkworm larvae during irradiation, and Mylar films were used to adjust energy deposited for planning radiation doses at certain depth. Using this system, the suppression of abnormal proliferation of epidermal cells in the knob mutant was examined. Following target irradiation of the knob-forming region at the first instar stage with 180-mum-diameter microbeam of 220 MeV carbon ($$^{12}$$C) ions, larvae were reared to evaluate the effects of irradiation. The results indicated that the knob formation at the irradiated segment was specially suppressed in 5.9, 56.4, 66.7 and 73.6 % of larvae irradiated with 120, 250, 400 and 600 Gy, respectively, but the other knob formations at the non-irradiated segments were not suppressed in either irradiation. Although some larva did not survive undesired non-targeted exposure, our present results indicate that this method would be useful to investigate the irradiation effect on a long developmental period of time. Moreover, our system could also be applied to other species by targeting tissues, or organs during development and metamorphosis in insect and animals.

Silkworm is an experimental insect good to investigate developmental biology or cell differentiation. Knobbed mutant is a quite unique and important model of cell differentiation, in that cells in the knob region consist of abnormally proliferated and stratified cells. In this study, the new application of irradiation with heavy ion microbeam for the first instar silkworm larvae was developed to clarify that when and where the knob mutant would form abnormal proliferation of epidermal cells. The holed aluminum plates were designed to fix the first instar larvae of silkworm during irradiation. After carbon ions microbeam irradiation, larvae were reared to evaluate the accuracy of irradiation. The deletion of knob was observed in over 70% of the larvae at fifth instar. The epidermal cells stayed, as it was a monolayer at irradiated region. These results indicate that heavy ion beam irradiation can control the abnormal cell division of epidermis in the knob mutant.

We studied effects of ionizing radiation on the salt chemotaxis learning in ${it Caenorhabditis elegans}$. We recently found the modulatory effect of $$gamma$$-rays on the salt chemotaxis learning that was manifested as a decrease in chemotaxis. However, we have no direct evidence for the interaction of ionizing radiation with the central neuronal tissue (nerve ring) of the nervous system in ${it C. elegans}$. Localized ionizing irradiation is useful to analyze radiation effects at a cellular or tissue level. Thus, to investigate the effects on the nerve ring, we used the heavy-ion microbeam system installed at the Takasaki Ion accelerators for Advanced Radiation Application of JAEA. In this presentation, we will discuss the preliminary results and a future vision.
