ABSTRACT
DNA breaks and their repair efficiency were analyzed in irradiated in vitro lymphocytes (at doses 1 Gy, gamma-radiation of 60Co, dose rate 1 Gy/min) isolated from peripheral blood of 41 untreated patients with breast cancer and 25 healthy donors using the DNA comet assay under non-denaturing conditions (mainly double-strand DNA breaks (DSB), as well as apoptotic cell death using the DNA halo assay. To estimate the expression of bystander effect, the cells were incubated in a culture medium obtained from lymphocytes irradiated in vitro at doses 1 Gy. The average DSB level in blood lymphocytes of breast cancer patients was shown to be significantly higher (p < 0.05) compared with that in control donors. In general, the following effects were observed in irradiated in vitro lymphocytes of cancer patients (1) increased sensitivity to y-radiation-induced DNA DSBs compared with lymphocytes from healthy donors, (2) reduced repair efficiency of these damages. Incubation of irradiated blood lymphocytes in a medium from irradiated cells led to an increased relative number of DNA DSBs and an elevated fraction of cells dying through apoptotic pathway both in blood lymphocytes from cancer patients and control donors. However, these non-targeted effects were more expressed for the blood lymphocytes of breast cancer patients.
