The frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCEs) was assessed in the bone marrow and peripheral blood of adult male Swiss mice treated with reduced glutathione (CSII) and S-2-/3-aminopropylamino/ethyl phosphorothioic acid (WR-2721), at a dose of 400 mg/kg body weight, and exposed to 6 Gy X-rays. GSH or WR-2721 was applied alone, or 60 and 30 min, respectively, prior to X-ray-exposure. The number of MNPCEs was determined at 24 h after the thiol treatment and X-irradiation. The radioprotection and toxicity caused in the mouse erythroblasts by GSH and WR-2721, as indicated by the number of MNPCEs were dependent on the thiol applied. The stronger radioprotective effect is obtained following WR-2721 administration than after GSH application. WR-2721 showed greater toxicity than GSH. The combination of GSN and WR-2721 given before X-ray-exposure resulted in the most radioprotective effect as compared to the respective single-drug treatment of mice. Application of the both thiols. without subsequent X-irradiation appeared to be the most toxic, compared with administration of WR-2721 or GSH alone. The effective radioprotection by the combined action of GSH and WR-2721 against genomic instability induced in the mouse erythroblasts by X-rays was shown. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
