DEWEY, W. C., STONE, L. E., MILLER, H. H., AND GIBLAK, R. E. Radiosensitization with 5-Bromodeoxyuridine of Chinese Hamster Cells X-Irradiated During Different Phases of the Cell Cycle. Radiat. Res. 47, 672-688 (1971). Cells synchronized by selecting mitotic cells from an asynchronous population growing in vitro, were x-irradiated and then analyzed both for lethality and for chromosomal aberrations. When BUdR incorporation occurred following irradiation, no radiosensitization or synergistic interaction was observed, although the BUdR treatment produced a small additive effect. However, when the cells incorporated BUdR for at least one cycle prior to being synchronized in mitosis, the radiation dose required to obtain a certain amount of damage was reduced by a factor of 1.9 (BUdR enhancement ratio). This BUdR enhancement ratio was observed in terms of both chromosomal aberrations and cell lethality when cells were irradiated either in mitosis, G1, or S. For both end points of damage, the mitotic phase was most sensitive with a linear dose-effect response, the G1 phase was intermediate in sensitivity (dose modifying factors of 1.5-2.0 compared with mitotic cells) with a small shoulder on the dose-effect curve, and the S phase was most resistant (dose modifying factors of 2.1-3.2 compared with mitotic cells) with a large shoulder on the dose-effect curve. Furthermore, for both untreated and BUdRtreated cells, irradiated either in mitosis, G1, or S, the logarithm of survival was linearly related to the aberration frequency (37 % survival occurring when the cells sustained 0.75 aberrations per cell). These relationships add considerable support to the hypothesis that x-rayinduced cell death results from a chromosomal aberration.
