• Representing γ-rays-induced adaptation in mESCs for first time.
• Modification and optimization of cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay for adaptive response in mESCs.
• Interpretation of MTT test for adaptation response in mESCs.
Low doses of ionizing radiation may induce an adaptive mechanism which protects embryonic stem cells against higher doses, a phenomenon which was reported previously for somatic cells. In this study, a possible adaptive response (AR) was evaluated by measuring cell survival (MTT assay) and chromosomal aberrations (micronucleus assay). Thymidine-synchronized mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) were exposed to 2.5, 3.7, or 5 cGy 60Co γ-rays and, after 5 h challenged by a dose of 150 cGy. mESCs pre-irradiated at 2.5 cGy showed an adaptive response.
