Both hypochlorite and ionizing radiation induce oxidation processes of biomolecules. The effects are dependent to a large degree on the dose of the oxidizing agent. Previously we observed that split doses of gamma radiation caused lower hemolysis than the same but single doses. The critical factors influencing the occurrence of this effect were: the value of the first dose and the time between the doses. In this work we examined the effect of gamma radiation (40-400 Gy) on hemolysis of human erythrocytes induced by hypochlorite. Erythrocytes in PBS, hematocrit 2 %, were irradiated with doses of 40, 200 or 400 Gy. The dose-rate was 23.8 Gy/min. Cell suspensions were stirred during irradiation. After irradiation the erythrocytes were incubated for 1, 3 or 4 hours at room temperature and then hypochlorite was added to a 250 microM concentration. Control samples were erythrocytes treated only with NaOCl. The level of hemolysis was determined after NaOCl addition. Hemolysis of erythrocytes preirradiated with the dose of 400 Gy was lower than hemolysis of erythrocytes treated only with NaOCl. The effect was dependent on the time between the end of irradiation and the addition of NaOCl. In contrast, slightly higher hemolysis was observed for erythrocytes preirradiated with lower (40 or 200 Gy) doses of radiation. The observed effect is similar to that obtained for radiation-induced hemolysis. It suggests that ionizing radiation may induce structural and/or functional changes in erythrocytes, which make the cell more resistant to further oxidative damage.
