A variety of evidence indicates that DNA double-strand breakage (DSB) is the critical ionizing radiation-induced lesion responsible for mammalian cell killing (e.g., (1, 2)). We have suggested that, in general, the induced level of DNA DSB is predictive of the level of cell killing (3, 4). Based on studies using radiation-sensitive mammalian cell lines, several authors have recently criticized this postulate and have suggested that the kinetics of DNA DSB repair is also an important factor in determining the level of cell killing (57). These comments have prompted us to present data that compare DNA DSB induction and cell killing in X-irradiated normal (IMR 90) and radiation-sensitive ataxia telangiectasia (AT) human fibroblasts, and to point out other interpretations of the data presented by our critics. The following discussion assumes that DNA DSB is also the lethal lesion in AT cells. However, it remains a possibility that AT cells are defective in the repair of a subset of another DNA lesion category. The nondenaturing filter elution technique was used, as described previously (3), to measure DNA DSB in X-irradiated normal and AT fibroblasts. Details of the growth, radioactive labeling, and cloning of IMR 90 cells have been given previously (4). The AT cells (GM 3487A from the Human Genetic Mutant Cell Repository, Camden, NJ) were grown in the a-modification of MEM plus 20% fetal calf serum and had a population doubling time of around 30 h. Fifteen hours after subculturing, AT cells to be assayed for DNA DSB were incubated with [methyl-14C]thymidine (3 X 103 Bq/ml, 5 AM thymidine) for around 30 h. The AT cells were cloned as described for IMR 90 cells (4), except that cloning dishes were incubated for 17 days prior to enumeration. Control plating efficiencies ranged from 2 to 5%. Exponentially growing cells were used for all experiments.
