Dose response relationships for gamma radiation induced chromosomal instability
Different cell lines demonstrate various dose response for radiation-induced chromosomal instability (RICI). To clarify the origin of differences we analyzed own and published data on RICI for four cell lines, V79, TK6, WTK1 and CHO-K1 on the basis of the mechanistic RICI model. We conclude that observable dose-response shapes, both plateau-like and strong dose dependent behavior, may be jointly explained by the same model of RICI. Mechanistic modeling reveals that a variation of certain set of RICI parameters leads to strong modification of dose-response curve.
