Summary • To examine the combined effects of low dose rate radiation and chemical exposure, gpt delta mice were exposed to NNK and g-irradiation, i.e., 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mGy per hour for 31 days. The total calculated doses were 0.34, 0.68 and 1.02 Gy, respectively. • NNK treatments significantly induced base substitutions, i.e., G:C to A:T, A:T to T:A or A:T to C:G, in the lung of mice. • The induction of base substitutions was not substantially modulated by the low dose rate g-irradiation. • The g-irradiation induced large deletions with more than 1 kb in size in the lung of mice. • The induction of large deletions at a dose rate of 1.5 mGy per hr was apparently suppressed by NNK treatments. • NNK treatments may induce protective mechanisms by which large deletions induced by g-irradiation are suppressed. • Mechanistic approach is needed to fully understand the combined effects of low dose rate radiation and chemical exposure.
