INTRODUCTION cytokinesis-block micronucleus test
(MN) with cytochalasin-B on
This work is carried out as part of our efforts to find a non toxic irradiated human lymphocytes
substance that can be used to reduce the harmful effects induced by
ionizing radiation. This compound could protect against genetic damage,
mutations and tetarogenic lesions that act through free radical production.
Recently substances with characteristic anti-oxidative properties are
gaining attention as potential radioprotective candidates. In this study we
assay the antioxidant substance potassium apigenin (AP), a habitual
substance in human diet, for its radioprotective capacity against damage
induced by the exposure to X-rays, Its modified structure serves to increase
its solubility water solubility.
MATERIAL AND METHODS Fig. 1: Different types of cells in the microscopic preparations: CB:cytokinesis-
blocked cell; MNCB: cytokinesis-blocked cell with micronúcleos; L: lymphocyte;
erythrocyte hemolized.
Chemicals: Apigenin (API) and Diosmine (D) were supplied by Nutrafur S.A. (Murcia, Spain); 99% L-ascorbic
acid (AA) and 99% δ-tocopherol (E) were obtained from Sigma Co. (Madrid, Spain). Dimethylsulphoxide GENOTOXICITY
(DMSO) and Rutin (R) were obtained from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany); and Amifostine (AMF) were obtained
from Schering-Plough, SA (Ethyol® injectable, Madrid, Spain).
AP was studied by means of two routine assays commonly employed in radiological protection:
Genoprotection assay: We used the cytokinesis-block micronucleus test (MN) with cytochalasin-B on
irradiated human lymphocytes to evaluate the genoprotective effects of AP following the technique described
by IAEA (2001). Samples of blood were cultivated at 37°C for 72 hours in 4.5 ml of HAM F-10 medium (Sigma
Co, Madrid) containing 15% fetal bovine serum, 16µg/ml phyitohemaglutinin (Sigma Co, Madrid), 100 µg/ml
MN/500 CB
penicilin/streptomicin (Sigma Co, Madrid) and glutamine 1 µg/ml; cytochalasina B (6µg/ml, Sigma Co.) was
added 44 hours after the inception of the cultivation. At the end of 72 hours the culture was terminated and the
cells harvested. At harvest the culture solution was centrifuged and a hypotonic solution KCl (75μM) was
added to the collected cells. A fixative solution of methanol:acetic acid (3:1) was added and slides prepared.
The preparations were stained with May-Grünwald and Giemsa stains. Scoring was done by counting the
number of MN per 3000 binucleated cells (CB), using a Zeiss light microscope (Oberkochem, Germany) with a
CYTOTOXICITY
magnification of 400X. The test substances were added to the samples of human blood cultures to obtain a
final concentration of 25 μM, before and after the exposure to X-rays.
Control
Cytoprotection assay: We used the MTT cell survival assay to assess cytoprotective effect using two prostate
cell lines PNT2 (normal epithelial cells) and TRAMP-C1 (tumoral cells).The cells were cultivated normally in the
presence of API (20μM and 40μM) for 24 and 48 hr after the exposure to X-rays. Briefly: the cells were

In the line TRAMP-C1 assay, AP also showed a radioprotective effect by increasing the

INTRODUCTION
There is a continued quest for the development of non-toxic compounds that can reduce the effect of exposure to
GENOTOXICITY
ionizing radiation. Such compounds could potentially protect humans against the genetic damage, mutation, alteration in the
human system and teratogenic effects of toxic agents (including radiation) which act through the generation of free radicals.
For many years, and despite their high toxicity, only sulfhydryl (SH) compounds were known to provide radioprotective effects
when administered biologically before exposure to ionizing radiation and only recently were other radioprotective substances
discovered whose common characteristic was their antioxidant capacity. Subsequently, other substances were found to have
the same effect when administered after exposure to ionizing radiation and, more recently, some substance have been
MN/500 CB
described as radioprotectors only when administered after exposure to radiation. Yet other substances present a
radioprotective capacity that differs according to whether they are administered pre or post radiation. Fig. 1: Different types of cells in the
In this work we assayed different antioxidant compounds that show protective capacity against the chromosome damage microscopic preparations: CB:cytokinesis-
induced by ionising radiation and related their effects with their chemical characteristics (Alcaraz et al., 2009) blocked cell; MNCB: cytokinesis-blocked cell
