چکیده

Radioadaptive response (RAR) describes phenomena where small conditioning doses of ionizing radiation (IR) reduce detrimental effects of subsequent higher IR doses. Current radiation protection regulations do not include RAR because of the large variability in expression among individuals and uncertainties of the mechanism. However, RAR should be regarded as an indispensable factor for estimation and control of individual IR sensitivity. In this article, RAR studies relevant to individual cancer risk are reviewed. Using various stains of mice, carcinogenic RAR has been demonstrated. Consistently much in vivo evidence for RAR with end points of DNA and chromosome damage is reported. Most in vivo RAR studies revealed efficient induction of RAR by chronic or repeated low-dose priming irradiation. Chronic IR-induced RAR was observed also in human individuals after environmental, occupational, and nuclear accident radiation exposure. These observations may be associated with an intrinsically distinct feature of in vivo experimental systems that mainly consist of nonproliferating mature cells. Alternatively, induction of RAR by gap junction-mediated bystander effects suggests that multicellular systems comprising densely communicating cells may be capable of responding to long-lasting lowdose-rate priming irradiation. Regulation by endocrine factors is also a plausible mechanism for RAR at an individual level. Emerging evidence suggests that glucocorticoids, known as stress hormones, participate in in vivo RAR induction following long-term low-dose-rate exposure to IR.

Radioadaptive response in peripheral blood leukocytes of occupationally exposed medical staff with investigation of DNA damage by the use of neutral comet assay

Background: ˝Radioadaptive Response˝ is well-documented phenomenon appeared in low dose ionizing radiation received in vitro and in vivo. Occupational exposure has always been a great concern for radiation workers therefore this study was performed to study radioadaptive response in terms of residual DNA double strand breaks as an endpoint in peripheral blood leukocytes of occupationally expose...

Variablity of chromosomal radioadaptive response in human lymphocytes.

Background : There are growing evidences for chromosomal radioadaptive response in human lymphocytes . Highly variable inter- and intra-individual responses have been reported. Some individuals are non-responders and even in some donors the frequency of chromatid aberrations induced by a challenge dose increases by pre-exposure to an adapting dose. It has been proposed that the lack of radioada...

Dosimetric study of radioadaptive response of zebrafish embryos using PADC-film substrates

We found the alpha-particle priming dose which could effectively induce in vivo radioadaptive response in the embryos of the zebrafish, Danio rerio, to be 4.8e48 mGy, through the apoptotic signals scored in the embryos at 24 h post fertilization. Specially fabricated thin polyallyldiglycol carbonate (PADC) films were used as support substrates for the dechorionated embryos. During irradiation, ...

Radioadaptive response induced by alpha-particle-induced stress communicated in vivo between zebrafish embryos.

We report data demonstrating that zebrafish embryos irradiated by alpha particles can release a stress signal into the water, which can be communicated to the unirradiated zebrafish embryos sharing the same water medium and thereby inducing a radioadaptive response in these unirradiated zebrafish embryos. The effects of radiation on the whole embryos were studied through quantification of apopt...

Background: Induction of radioadaptive responses in cells pretreated with a low dose radiation before exposure to a high dose is well documented by many investigators. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of chromosomal aberration in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients treated by radioiodine (131I) for hyperthyroidism, with or without previous thyroid scan with 99mTc.
