Abstract We investigated the relationship between induction of radio-adaptive response and cell death in mouse normal and neoplastic epidermal cells. Mouse normal primary keratinocytes (PK), cancer-prone cells [v-ras Ha-transfected mouse keratinocytes (ras-PK), and line 308 cells (mouse skin papilloma cells which have activatedras Ha gene with A-to-T transversion at codon 61) were primed with a low dose of γ-rays (0.01 Gy), and were challenged with a high dose (4 Gy) after a 4 or 7 h interval. The induction of cell death in PK was 2–10 times higher and was also more rapid in PK than in ras-PK or 308 cells. Low-dose pretreatment with a 4 h interval decreased cell death, and this adaptive response was prominent in PK, whereas it was less obvious in the cases of ras-PK and 308 cells. The response of each protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes to high-dose radiation, especially PKCα, PKCδ, PKCε, and PKCη, were different between the normal andras oncogene-activated neoplastic keratinocytes; translocation of these isozymes to membrane occurred more rapidly in normal than in neoplastic cells. Furthermore, low-dose pretreatment did not induce the translocation of PKCδ in PK significantly more than in ras-PK and 308. Thus, the difference in the induction of radio-adaptive responses between mouse normal and neoplastic epidermal cells reflects difference in the rapidity of cell death, and responsiveness of PKC may affect this adaptive response.
