Abstract
The effect of actinomycin-D (AMD) on radiation damage repair was studied in plateau phase V79 Chinese hamster cells. Sublethal radiation damage repair, as demonstrated by survival fluctuations following two x-ray exposures separated by time, was observed in our plateau phase cells. Plateau phase cells exposed to 0.01–0.04 μg/ml AMD (a nontoxic regimen to 8 hours) between x-ray exposures were less able to repair sublethal damage. If plateau phase cells were plated at low dilutions into fresh medium (conditions for resuming exponential growth) immediately after the first x-ray dose, and exposed to 0.01–0.04 μg/ml AMD until the second dose, inhibition of sublethal damage repair and additional cell killing were observed particularly at 0.04 μg/ml AMD. It is suggested that radiation-drug damage interactions should be studied in plateau phase cells and in cells resuming exponential growth after plateau phase (possibly analogous to “recruitment”), as well as in exponential phase cultures.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
