Fusion premature chromosome condensation (PCC) was combined with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to study chromosomal aberrations in interphase. The rejoining kinetics of PCC breaks was similar for each culture condition after both X-ray and heavy-ion irradiation. However, after 6 Gy X-rays, the misrepair in cycling cells was 1.36, 2.8 times higher than that in non-cycling cells. Twelve hours after exposure to 2 Gy of 55keV/um silicon ions the misrepair in cycling cells was 0.56, only 2 times higher than that in non-cycling cells. Whereas, after exposure to 2 Gy 200 keV/um or 440 keV/um iron ion beams misrepair was similar in non-cycling and cycling cells. . Since the majority of repair in G0/G1 occurs via the non-homologous end joining process (NHEJ), increased PLDR in X-ray and silicon-ion irradiated cells may result from improved cell cycle specific rejoining fidelity through the NHEJ pathway, which is not the case in high-LET iron-ion irradiated cells., Radiation Research Society 58th Annual Meeting}, title = {Comparison on the repair of potentially lethal damage between exposure to low- and high-LET radiations from Kinetics and fidelity of chromosome rejoining in normal human fibroblasts}, year = {2012} }
