Radiation-induced adaptive response (AR) is a phenomenon that a priming low dose induces radioresistance against the subsequent challenge radiation at higher doses. In a series of investigation, successful induction of AR by certain combinations of X-rays and heavy ions was demonstrated in mice using suppression of bone marrow death in thirty-day survival test as the criterion. As increased number of endogenous spleen colonies (CFU-S, a measure of viable pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells) was closely related to the suppression of challenge radiation-induced lethality when X-rays were used as both the priming and challenge doses, in this work, as the first approach to exploration of the AR mechanisms with high LET heavy-ion irradiations (HIR) involved, the number of endogenous CFU-S was examined. In addition to X-rays, accelerated HIR of carbon (15keV/μm) and iron (200KeV/μm) particles were used. Female mice of C57BL/6J strain were irradiated with the priming and challenge doses at postnatal ages of 6 and 8 weeks, respectively. Results showed that under AR-inducible conditions, i.e., X-rays+carbon, carbon+X-rays, carbon+carbon, significantly increased number of endogenous CFU-S was observed, while under AR-uninducible condition, i.e., X-rays+iron, no increase was detectable. These findings indicate that under AR-inducible conditions with high LET HIR involved, the increased number of endogenous CFU-S was also closely related to the suppression of challenge radiation-induced lethality. These findings would provide a new insight into further mechanistic study on high LET radiation-induced AR.
