Mutations. What Are Mutations?  A change in the structure or amount of an organisms genetic material  This mutation can be a tiny change in DNA structure.

Mutations. A Mutation is a change in an organism’s DNA  It can occur naturally whenever a base is incorrectly copied, especially during DNA Replication.

Presentation transcript:

DNA Damage and Biodosimetry Radiation, through free radical formation, causes damage to DNA Cells have very efficient DNA repair mechanisms (argues against LNT hypothesis) Damage to DNA/chromosomes from radiation can be measured to determine amount of radiation exposure.

Types of DNA repair: Damage on/to single strands Incorrect base due to Spontaneous reactions Base analogs Copying errors Breaks in a DNA strand due to radiation Excision repair: Section of DNA with error cut out Enzyme puts in new DNA using complementary strand Rejoining of broken strand

Types of DNA repair: Double strand breaks Homologous repair DNA has been copied, so sister chromatid is available. Recombination event uses same (or similar DNA) May result in wrong section being used: mutation. Non-homologous end-rejoining Ends just stitched back together

Failure to repair Damaged DNA has consequences Senesence: cell stops dividing when it should continue Apoptosis: damaged DNA stimulates programmed cell death Carcinogenesis: damage DNA interferes with cell regulation, cells divide out of control.

Chromosomal aberrations Deletions, rings, dicentrics Micronuclei: chromosome fragments http://www.4p-supportgroup.org/images/figure12.jpg http://www.infobiogen.fr/services/chromcancer/Tumors/Images/MeninKaryo.jpg

Translocations Chromosomes swab pieces DNA breaks, attaches elsewhere http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucbhjow/bmsi/lec7_images/rectrans.gif

Biodosimetry: use of chromosomal change to estimate radiation dose Chromosomal aberrations Effective range: 35 -500 rem exposure Time from dosage must be considered due to repair 1000 hits occur and repaired before one seen Repair is continual, so #s decrease over time Dicentrics most commonly used Most dicentric chromosomes are radiation induced Micronuclei From as low as 1 rem exposure; recent exposures only.

Translocations Not readily repaired (caused by ds break repair) http://www.jinr.dubna.su/drrr/projects/gen/figb.gif Not readily repaired (caused by ds break repair) Good for estimating lifetime dose Background rate: 1-4 translocations per 1000 cells

Radiation Protection Dosimetry 88:77-86 (2000) © 2000 Oxford University Press Our Views on Issues in Radiation Biodosimetry Based on Chromosome Translocations Measured by FISH J.N. Lucas and W. Deng A biomarker for retrospective biodosimetry for radiation exposure and human health risk assessment would be most useful if it employed an endpoint that is highly quantitative, is stable over time, and is relevant to human health risk. The frequency of chromosome translocations in individuals exposed to low to medium doses of whole-body radiation serves these goals. Recent advances in chromosome painting using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) facilitate fast and reliable measurement of chromosome translocations, a kind of DNA damage linked to both prior clastogenic exposure and to human health risk.

Using FISH to spot translocations www.rerf.or.jp/Gene/eng/fig/fishf.htm

Current trends in biodosimetry Molecular biomarkers for ionizing radiation exposure (gene expression changes, blood proteins) can be measured in real time using such diagnostic detection technologies as miniaturized nucleic acid sequences and antigen-based biosensors Certain genes are turned off or on by acute radiation exposure; RT-PCR to detect, quantify. Examination of biological tissue (e.g. teeth) using EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) Ionization affects electron spin changes

Follow the money After a large-scale radiological event, there would be a major need to assess, within a few days, the radiation doses received by tens of thousands of individuals. By contrast, current “high throughput” biodosimetry can, at best, assess a few hundred individuals / day. The Center for High-Throughput Minimally-Invasive Radiation Biodosimetry is a research consortium devoted to developing high-throughput radiation dose assessment techniques.
