Adaptive response in zebrafish embryos induced using microbeam protons as priming dose and X-ray photons as challenging dose.
In the studies reported here, a high-linear-energy-transfer (high-LET)-radiation dose was used to induce adaptive response in zebrafish embryos in vivo. Microbeam protons were used to provide the priming dose and X-ray photons were employed to provide the challenging dose. The microbeam irradiation system (Single-Particle Irradiation System to Cell, acronym as SPICE) at the National Institute o...
متن کاملThe threshold number of protons to induce an adaptive response in zebrafish embryos.
In this study, microbeam protons were used to provide the priming dose to induce an in vivo radioadaptive response (RAR) in the embryos of zebrafish, Danio rerio, against subsequent challenging doses provided by x-ray photons. The microbeam irradiation system (Single-Particle Irradiation System to Cell, acronym SPICE) at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS), Japan, was employe...
متن کاملHormetic effect induced by depleted uranium in zebrafish embryos.
The present work studied the hormetic effect induced by uranium (U) in embryos of zebrafish (Danio rerio) using apoptosis as the biological endpoint. Hormetic effect is characterized by biphasic dose-response relationships showing a low-dose stimulation and a high-dose inhibition. Embryos were dechorionated at 4h post fertilization (hpf), and were then exposed to 10 or 100μg/l depleted uranium ...
متن کاملNon-induction of radioadaptive response in zebrafish embryos by neutrons
In vivo neutron-induced radioadaptive response (RAR) was studied using zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos. The Neutron exposure Accelerator System for Biological Effect Experiments (NASBEE) facility at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS), Japan, was employed to provide 2-MeV neutrons. Neutron doses of 0.6, 1, 25, 50 and 100 mGy were chosen as priming doses. An X-ray dose of 2 Gy...
متن کاملDesigning experimental setup and procedures for studying alpha-particle-induced adaptive response in zebrafish embryos in vivo
The present work was devoted to designing the experimental setup and the associated procedures for alpha-particle-induced adaptive response in zebrafish embryos in vivo. Thin PADC films with a thickness of 16 lm were fabricated and employed as support substrates for holding dechorionated zebrafish embryos for alpha-particle irradiation from the bottom through the films. Embryos were collected w...
