We have studied biological effects in cellular responses in normal human fibroblasts induced with low-fluence irradiation of different radiation types, such as gamma rays, neutrons and high-LET heavy ions. We focused on the radiation-quality dependence of both cell-killing effect and mutation induction in normal human fibroblasts. Cells were pre-treated with low-fluence irradiation (~1mGy/7-8h) of 137Cs gamma rays, 241Am-Be neutrons, helium ions and carbon ions before following irradiation with X-ray challenging dose (1.5Gy). There observed no difference in cell-killing effect in the pre-treatment among different types of radiations. In mutation induction there was no difference in induced mutation frequency at 1.5Gy of X-ray challenging dose between un-pretreated and gamma-ray pre-treated cells. In the case of the pre-treatment of high-LET ions, it was around 4-5 times higher in carbon-ion pre-treated cells and 1.8-1.9 times higher in helium-ion pre-treated cells than in un-pretreated cells (X-ray challenging dose alone). On the contrary it was reduced in neutron pre-treated cells, when comparing to un-pretreated cells. There is evidence that genomic instability in mutation induction induced with the pre-treatment of low-fluence irradiation depends strongly upon the radiation quality., 第27回国際重力生理学会}, title = {RADIATION-QUALITY DEPENDENCE IN MUTATION INDUCTION INDUCED WITH THE PRE-TREATMENT OF LOW-FLUENCE PARTICLE RADIATIONS.}, year = {2006} }
