N2 - The influence of teniposide (VM-26) treatment was studied on the radiation-induced alterations in cell survival, micronuclei (MN) formation and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release in V79 cells. Treatment of V79 cells with 10 nM teniposide before exposure to different doses of γ radiation resulted in a significant decline in the cell survival when compared with the PBS + irradiation group. The decline in cell survival was dose related. The cell proliferation indices also declined in a dose-dependent manner in both PBS + irradiation and VM-26 + irradiation groups. The decline was higher in the VM-26 + irradiaion group in comparison with the PBS + irradiation group. In contrast, the frequency of micronuclei increased in a dose-related manner in both PBS + irradiation and VM-26 + irradiation groups. However, the frequency of micronuclei was significantly greater in the latter group when compared with the former group at all the post-irradiation time periods studied. The LDH contents increased in a dose-dependent manner in both PBS + irradiation and VM-26 + irradiation groups at all the post-irradiation time periods evaluated. This elevation in LDH contents was significantly greater in the VM-26 + irradiation group in comparison with the PBS + irradiation group.
