Institute for Nuclear Research, Kiev, Ukraine The Radioecology Research Department COMPLEX RADIOBIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF SMALL RODENTS FROM THE CHERNOBYL EXCLUSION ZONE Olena Burdo, Alla Lipska, Olena Sova, Natalia Ryabchenko 30 th August 2016, Chernihiv, Ukraine Outline of the report • Setting of the problem • Organization of the study – Place of study – Chernobyl exclusion zone – The object of study – murine rodents – Subject of study : cytogenetic, hematologic, morphophysiological parameters • The results of investigation – Cytogenetic effects – Hematologic effects – Morphophysiological effects – Link between the rate of the radiation factor and cytogenetic effects . Conclusions 2 Setting of the problem • Research of the radiobiological effects is needed under the following conditions : – Low dosed-radiation – Prolonged irradiation (during the whole life cycle) – Combinated exposure (external + internal) – Different types of exposure (α-, β-, γ-) • Creating these conditions in the ordinary radiobiological experiment is difficult enough • We can use “in situ ” – contaminated sites. For example, Chernobyl exclusion zone 3 DESCRIPTION OF TEST SITES IN THE EXCLUSION ZONE Test site № 1 Yaniv γ 550 – 1400 μR/h 137Cs 3.6-20 MBq/m2 90Sr 0.68 – 2.1 MBq/m2 Control Test site γ 0,1 – 0,2 μR/h /h Test site № 2 Dityatki γ 20 – 22 μR/h 137Cs 0.18-0.27 MBq/m2 90Sr 0.013-0.015 MBq/m2 4 Algorithm of research Species: Species: .Clethrionomus •Cytogenetic parameters: (Myodes) glareolus •Mitotic index •Apoptosis •Micronucleus test •Binuclear cells •Premature chromosome condensation (PCC) •Flow cytometry Estimation of doses Radionuclide Contamination in animals organisms 5 Cesium 137 distribution in organs and tissues, % Gastrointestinal tract Heart Other Muscles Spleen Skeleton Skin kidneys Lungs Liver Strontium 90 distribution in organs and tissues, % Muscles Gastrointestinal tract About 90 % of Skin Other Strontium 90 is accumulated exactly in the tissues of skeleton Skeleton Results of micronucleus analysis of bone marrow cells C. glareolus The Frequency of Group Apoptotic cells Mitotic index cells with MN Reference 0,83±0,38 3,66±0,57 0.92±0, group Janiv 2008 *4,51±1,02 *6,13±0,63 1,31±0,44 Janiv 2009 1,86±1,04 4,20±0,56 1,83±0,67 Janiv 2012 0,64±0,16 *8,67±1,35 1,31±0,17 Janiv 2013 0,32±0,12 3,20±0,79 0,76±0,23 * -

Radiation doses and structure of radiation loads on small rodents from contaminated sites were determined. • Qualitative changes in hematopoiesis of animals from the Chernobyl exclusion zone manifested in the disturbance of bone marrow cell maturation. Malfunction of hematopoiesis foci formation in liver and spleen was also found. Major changes were registered in erythroid lineage. High levels of genotoxic and cytotoxic effects in bone marrow was observed. • Differences between the reference and the exposed groups were found by the study of morphological parameters of voles internal organs, confirming the activation of the physiological stress in the exposed animals.
