Linear and non-linear dose-effect relationships at low dose IR Dik C. van Gent, Erasmus MC
Modeling of the dose-response curve LNT, threshold, hypersensitive, hormesis? What can we measure at low dose? - DNA repair (linear 10-1000 mGy) - micronuclei (linear) - chromosomal translocation (linear) What about uptake extrachromosomal DNA? What about transcriptional responses?
Random integration assay
137 Cs ☢ 75% attenuator
Repair mutants behave like wt
H2AX is required for stimulation
H2AX is required for stimulation WT Ubi mutants Phospho mutants
Plateau in dose-response relative integration ~0.2 Gy ~0.5-1 Gy ~5-10x Induction of v alternative EJ? ~2x 0.005 Gy IR dose
Regulation of the DNA damage response IR DNA double strand breaks Oxidative damage? Gene expression changes Apoptosis or senescence Cell cycle checkpoints Growth status Aging/age related diseases
