| Research Abstract |
We have examined associations with cancer in atomic bomb (A-bomb) survivor and A-bomb radiation exposure. We have estimated that the signature of radiation effect (genomic instability : GIN) remains in A-bomb survivors' cells and GIN induce carcinogenesis. This study aims to detect the existence of GIN in normal skin tissue in A-bomb surviviors. We use a protein of 53BP1 localized at the sites of DNA double strand breaks and forms discrete nuclear foci to detect GIN. The results of this study suggest GIN in normal cells of the proximal group (shorting distance group from the hypocenter) is increasing, and GIN induced radiation is associated with A-bomb survivors' carcinogenesis.
