[The adaptive response of first generation offsprings irradiated parents].
In offspring's of first generation irradiated inhabitants of Techa river (fathers, mothers and both parents) the spontaneous level of damaged blood lymphocytes, sensitivity of lymphocytes to the additional acute irradiation in dose 1.0 Gy and radioinduced adaptive response after adaptive (5 cGy) and challenge (1.0 Gy) irradiation 5 h after was studied. The micronuclei test with cytochalasin B as a criteria of the effect have been used. It was shown, that descendents of irradiated parents differ from the control group. The main difference is the significant decrease of the adaptive response frequency in the progeny. In the offspring's of the irradiated fathers and mothers there is no one individuals with the adaptive response; in the offspring's of both irradiated parents the frequency of individuals with adaptive response decreases in control from 19.5% to 6.8%. The distribution of descendents according to response on adaptive irradiation differ significantly from the control distribution and from the each other. And the tendency to the radiosensitivity increase after adaptive irradiation was observed. In the whole joint group of progeny the mean spontaneous cell frequency with micronuclei decreased, but the sensitivity of lymphocytes to the additional acute irradiation doesn't differ from the control. The results of the paper permit to suppose that transgenerational genome instability in human can be determined. Earlier discovered decrease of the adaptive response frequency in the Techa river livings is observed in the offspring's of irradiated fathers, mothers and both parents.
