Abstrakt: We studied the influence of ionizing radiation and hypogravity as negative factors of space flights on DNA damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes of rhesus monkeys at different times after exposure (from 1 to 446 days). The proportion of cells with high numbers of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB), positive for the surrogate DSB marker-protein γH2AX, was monitored using flow cytometry. Some animals were exposed to 7-day antiorthostatic hypokinesia simulating hypogravity, the others to a combined effect of antiorthostatic hypokinesia, whole-body γ-irradiation (2.34 cGy/h, dose 1 Gy), and irradiation of the head with 12C ions (450 MeV, dose 1 Gy). Exposure to antiorthostatic hypokinesia led to a significant increase in the proportion of γH2AX+ lymphocytes only on the first day after exposure, whereas after combined exposure, increased numbers of damaged lymphocytes were recorded up to 42 days after exposure.
