Abstract

We examined the mechanism for the radioprotective effect by DMSO treatment. When CB09 mice cells were treated with 2%DMSO 1 h before and during X-irradiation, radioprotective effects were clearly observed in survival assay and micronucleus assay. The suppressive effects of DSB by DMSO were also observed both 15 min and 2 h after irradiation. Interestingly, the ratio of suppression by DMSO in 2h after irradiation was higher than that in 15 min after irradiation. This result suggests that DSB repair is activated between 15 min and 2 h after irradiation by DMSO treatment. Moreover, little protective effects by DMSO were observed in DNA-PKcs deficient SD01 cells derived from scid mice. These results suggest that the radioprotective effect by DMSO is brought by activation of DNA-PK dependent repair, not by suppression of indirect action.
