The aim of this study is to evaluate the individual differences in radiosensitivity of lineagecommitted myeloid hematopoietic progenitors, colony-forming cells (CFC), detected in steady-state human peripheral blood (PB). Mononuclear cells were prepared from the buffy-coat of 30 individuals PB, and were assayed for CFC by semi-solid culture supplemented with cytokines. X irradiation was performed in the range of 0.5 - 4 Gy at a dose rate of about 80 cGy/min. The mean number of hematopoietic progenitor cells is 5866 ± 3408 in 1 ml of buffy-coat, suggesting that the erythroid progenitor cells are the major population. The total CFC radiosensitivity parameter D_0 and n value are 1.18 ± 0.24 and 1.89 ± 0.98, respectively. Using a linear regression analysis, a statistically significant correlation is observed between the D_0 value and the surviving fraction at 4 Gy (r = 0.611 p < 0.001). Furthermore, we evaluate the relationship between individual radiosensitivity and the level of antioxidants, plasma uric acid, plasma bilirubin, and intracellular glutathione. No statistically significant correlations are observed, however, between the D_0 parameter and the level of antioxidants, plasma uric acid, plasma bilirubin, and intracellular glutathione. The present study demonstrates that there are large individual differences in the radiosensitivity of hematopoietic progenitor cells as detected in steady-state human PB. These differences demonstrate almost no correlation with plasma or intracellular antioxidants. The prediction of individual differences in radiosensitivity of CFC can only be measured by 4 Gy irradiation.
