Résumé
Groups of 10 CF1 female mice, irradiated to the thorax with a dual-head 137Cs gamma-RAY source, received single doses of 0, 5, 10, 15, or 25 Gy. One to forty-eight weeks later collagen synthesis was measured in minced skin specimens incubated in medium containing [3H]proline and then assayed for radioactive hydroxyproline. A progressive, generally dose-dependent increase in collagen biosynthesis, up to 50% above control sites, was found 1, 4, and 12 weeks after radiation exposure. These changes showed further small fluctuations at 12-36 weeks, increasing again at the 48-week interval. At the same times throughout the study fibroblasts were cultured from skin explants. Following the second subculture, these cells were also incubated in medium containing [3H]proline, and collagen synthesis was again determined by [3H]hydroxyproline assay. At all radiation dose levels studied, collagen production increased threefold by 12 weeks postradiation and remained elevated for the 48-week duration of the study. In vitro radiation dose response differences were not observed.
