RBE-LET relationships in mutagenesis by ionizing radiation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper considers the relationship between the quality of radiation and biological lesions produced by ionizing radiation. The paper provides a brief review of the modelling of induction of strand breakage, chromosome aberration, revertant mutation in bacteria and Drosophila melanogaster. Experimental data are presented for the relative biological effectiveness of helium ions and alpha-particles for mutation induction and genome lethality in Escherichia coli. The paper examines the relationship between the mutational events and LET. The RBE-LET values for T4 phage, E. coli WP2 and mwh (multiple wing hair) show dependency on LET while the wi (white-ivory) allele mutants show no dependency.

Scaling Human Cancer Risks from Low LET to High LET when Dose-Effect Relationships are Complex.
Health risks from space radiations, particularly from densely ionizing radiations, represent an important challenge for long-ranged manned space missions. Reliable methods are needed for scaling low-LET to high-LET radiation risks for humans, based on animal or in vitro studies comparing these radiations. The current standard metric, relative biological effectiveness (RBE) compares iso-effect d...
متن کاملComparison of RBE values of high- LET α-particles for the induction of DNA-DSBs, chromosome aberrations and cell reproductive death
BACKGROUND Various types of radiation effects in mammalian cells have been studied with the aim to predict the radiosensitivity of tumours and normal tissues, e.g. DNA double strand breaks (DSB), chromosome aberrations and cell reproductive inactivation. However, variation in correlations with clinical results has reduced general application. An additional type of information is required for th...
متن کاملEffects of indirect actions and oxygen on relative biological effectiveness: estimate of DSB induction and conversion induced by gamma rays and helium ions
Clustered DNA damage other than double-strand breaks (DSBs) can be detrimental to cells and can lead to mutagenesis or cell death. In addition to DSBs induced by ionizing radiation, misrepair of non-DSB clustered damage contributes extra DSBs converted from DNA misrepair via pathways for base excision repair and nucleotide excision repair. This study aimed to quantify the relative biological ef...
متن کاملA Comparison of the Relative Effectiveness of Radiations of Different Average Linear Energy Transfer on the Induction of Dominant and Recessive Lethals in Drosophila.
INCE 1927 numerous investigators have subjected various plants and animals to radiations of different ion density to determine the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of the different radiations. Usually it was found that the RBE increased as the linear energy transfer (LET-energy in electron volts dissipated per micron of tissue traversed by ionizing particles) or ion density of the radiat...
متن کاملEvaluation of variable relative biological effectiveness and the creation of homogenous biological dose in the tumor region in helium ion radiation to the V79 cell line
In radiation therapy, ions heavier than proton have more biological advantages than a proton beam. Recently, ion helium has been considered due to high linear energy transfer (LET) to the medium and a higher relative biological effect (RBE). To design the spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) of biological dose for radiation with any type of ion, we need exact values of RBE, which is dependent to dose, ...
