摘要
The effects of 222Rn were measured in mouse L5178Y (LY) lymphoblasts that differ in repair capabilities. Line LY-S1 is deficient in the repair of X-radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks, while lines LY-R16 and LY-R83 are presumed to be deficient in the excision of UV-radiation-induced pyrimidine dimers. Line LY-R83 is hemizygous while the other two lines are heterozygous at the thymidine kinase (tk) locus. After exposure to radon the D0's were found to be very similar for the three lines (0.30-0.31 Gy), whereas for X radiation the D0 for line LY-S1 is lower (0.7 Gy) than that for the two LY-R lines (1.3 Gy). Mutant frequencies at the tk locus were higher per gray after treatment with radon than X radiation, but at equitoxic doses the mutant frequencies were similar for X and α-particle radiation. A low radon-induced mutant frequency was observed for the hemizygous line, in agreement with the hypothesis that multilocus lesions were induced by the α- particle radiation and that mutants bearing intergenic lesions were not recovered in the TK(+/-) line. The entire active tk allele was lost by 81% of the TK(-/-) mutants of line LY-R16. In lines LY-S1 and LY-R16, 39-43% of the TK(-/-) mutants exhibited loss of galactokinase activity, indicating that the mutational lesion inactivating the tk gene frequently extended to the neighboring galactokinase gene.
