Crypt microcolony assay was used to determine the effect of lucanthone on the radiation response of intestinal stem cells in Chinese hamsters . The Dq of the crypt microcolony radiation--survival curve was maximally reduced by 205 rads when lucanthone injection preceded irradiation by 10 hours and was reduced by 140 rads when injection followed irradiation by 5 hours. On simultaneous injection and irradiation, Dq was reduced by only 20 rads; when injection and irradiation were separated by approximately 30 hours, Dq returned to the control value. Lucanthone never affected Do. Thus at non-toxic concentrations, lucanthone reversibly modifies cellular ability to accumulate and repair sublethal radiation damage without affecting radiation sensitivity.
