Aminothiols such as WR-2721 and its active free thiol WR-1065 have previously been shown to reduce mutations resulting from ionizing radiation in exponentially growing cells. In this study, non-dividing human GoT-lymphocytes were exposed to the aminothiol radioprotective agent, WR-1065, 30 min before or 3 h after external beam γ-irradiation and subsequently assessed for survival and mutation induction at thehprtlocus. Cytotoxicity due to γ-irradiation was reduced only when the WR-1065 was present during irradiation. The frequency ofhprtmutations, however, was reduced regardless of time of administration, although the reduction was statistically significant only when WR-1065 was added 30 min before irradiation (P< 0.01). This is the first study to demonstrate the protective effects of WR-1065 against radiation-induced mutation in a reporter gene using a human non-cycling cell.Hprtmutations arisingin vivoin these cells may be useful for monitoring the radioprotective effect of aminothiols in human populations.
