[Molecular manifestations of radiation-induced genome instability: the possibility of chemical modification].

The molecular manifestations of radiation-induced genome instability-changes of the DNA structure, the excision DNA repair and the contents of the reactive oxygen forms in bone marrow cells of the repair proficient mice (CBA) and of the repair-defective (101/H) lines in the dynamics up to 185 day after ionizing radiation exposure in the dose of 1.5 Gy were studied. Is was established, that after irradiation in bone marrow cells the descendants with the decreased activity of excision DNA repair and prone to increased changes of DNA structure DHK is arised. The injection of the phenozane in concentrations causing its receptor interaction with cells, did not defend DNA of the bone marrow cells from the radiation injury after the exposure in a sublethal dose, however it exerted influence on long-term changes. Due to the phenosane of the bone marrow cells of the irradiated mice of CBA line exhibited the larger activity in a DNA repair from damages and maintenance of vitality. The bone marrow cells of male mice of repair defective 101/H line, which phenozan was entered before the irradiation, remained unfit to the remuval of DNA damages by the repair, that probably resulted the activations of the program of the maintenance of genome constancy by the apoptosis in the cells--carriers of the structural defects and the cause of animal lethality.
