Abstract
Studies of radioactive isotopes at the liquid-solid or gas-solid interface are enabling a detailed mechanistic understanding of the effects of radioactive decay on physical, biological, and chemical systems. In recent years, there has been a burgeoning interest in using radioactive isotopes for both imaging and therapeutic purposes by attaching them to the surface of colloidal nanoparticles. By merging the field of nanomedicine with the more mature field of internal radiation therapy, researchers are discovering new ways to diagnose and treat cancer. In this Perspective, we discuss state-of-the-art radioactive thin films as applied to both well-defined surfaces and more complex nanoparticles. We highlight the design considerations that are unique to radioactive films, which originate from the damaging and potentially self-destructive emissions produced during radioactive decay, and highlight future opportunities in the largely underexplored area between radioisotope chemistry and nanoscience.

Abstract
Two-dimensional radioactive (125)I monolayers are a recent development that combines the fields of radiochemistry and nanoscience. These Au-supported monolayers show great promise for understanding the local interaction of radiation with 2D molecular layers, offer different directions for surface patterning, and enhance the emission of chemically and biologically relevant low-energy electrons. However, the elemental composition of these monolayers is in constant flux due to the nuclear transmutation of (125)I to (125)Te, and their precise composition and stability under ambient conditions has yet to be elucidated. Unlike I, which is stable and unreactive when bound to Au, the newly formed Te atoms would be expected to be more reactive. We have used electron emission and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to quantify the emitted electron energies and to track the film composition in vacuum and the effect of exposure to ambient conditions. Our results reveal that the Auger electrons emitted during the ultrafast radioactive decay process have a kinetic energy corresponding to neutral Te. By combining XPS and scanning tunneling microscopy experiments with density functional theory, we are able to identify the reaction of newly formed Te to TeO2 and its subsequent dimerization. The fact that the Te2O4 units stay intact during major lateral rearrangement of the monolayer illustrates their stability. These results provide an atomic-scale picture of the composition and mobility of surface species in a radioactive monolayer as well as an understanding of the stability of the films under ambient conditions, which is a critical aspect in their future applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE To further elucidate the mechanisms behind the strong biological effectiveness of DNA-incorporated Auger electron emitters (123)I and (125)I, which are mostly attributed to the shower of low-energy electrons released during the decay. A second, frequently mentioned cause can be seen in the charges accumulated during the Auger cascade on the decaying nuclide and its subsequent intra-molecular redistribution leading to a Coulomb explosion. METHODS To assess the size of the charge and the dimensions of DNA damage thus determined, the first Auger cascade was simulated by Monte Carlo methods. The consequences of intra-molecular charge transfer in terms of structural molecular alterations were estimated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and folding with the results of the Monte Carlo studies. RESULTS Charge distributions of (123)I and (125)I were found to be very similar with values between + 1 and + 15 and a mean value of + 6.4. The molecules could tolerate charges up to + 5 (base), + 2 (nucleoside) and + 7 (nucleotide) without being destroyed. CONCLUSIONS The strong molecular DNA damage after (123)I and (125)I decay depends very much on the size of the DNA molecule involved in the calculation. In general, not every decay can be expected to lead to a Coulomb explosion.

Abstract
Although the general radiobiologic principles underlying external beam therapy and radionuclide therapy are similar, significant differences in the biophysical and radiobiologic effects from the two types of radiation continue to accumulate. Here, I will address the unique features that distinguish the molecular and cellular radiobiological effects of Auger electron-emitting radionuclides consequent to (1) the physical characteristics of the decaying atom and its subcellular localisation, (2) DNA topology and (3) the bystander effect. Based on these experimental findings, I postulate that the ability of track structural simulations as primary tools in modelling DNA damage and cellular survival at the molecular level would be greatly enhanced when these contributions are factored in.

Abstract
PURPOSE To test the integrity of the thymine molecule that experiences an increasing number of charges due to the loss of Auger electrons emitted by the decay of incorporated 125I. Besides the radiation action of these electrons, Coulomb explosion is suspected to be an additional mechanism responsible for the strong radiotoxic effect of decaying DNA-incorporated 125I. The two-step decay process initiates a first Auger cascade within 10(-16) to 10(-14) s resulting in the release of about 7 electrons on average and a corresponding large positive charge on the 125Te daughter atom. Being part of iododeoxyuridine (125IUdR), the analogue of the DNA base thymine, the base is suddenly confronted with this charge. Experimentally, the situation was investigated with small molecules (CH3(125)I and C2H5(125)I) resulting in ion fragmentation in agreement with a Coulomb explosion model (Carlson and White, 1963, 1966). MATERIALS AND METHODS Semi-empirical quantum mechanical calculations on the Parametric Method 3 (PM3) level (Stewart, 1989a, 1989b) were performed and geometry optimisation was applied for the identification of stable molecule conformations. Subsequently, semiempirical molecular dynamics simulations allowed changes in the conformations to be studied as a function of time. RESULTS First results show that there is no stable molecular configuration with a total charge of > or = +5e. PM3 calculations will not converge for such a charge located at the 125I/125Te position. This finding is supported by total energy considerations, which begin to favour a system of isolated atoms versus molecular bound atoms when the molecular charge is greater than +4e. The distribution of the partial charges indicates that most of the charge will remain on the tellurium atom with slight increases of charge at the other molecular partners within 125IUdR. Moreover, the molecular dynamics simulations reveal a breaking of chemical bonds between those atoms with the strongest charge increase. CONCLUSIONS Coulomb explosion must be taken into account as a possible damaging mechanism following the decay of DNA-incorporated Auger electron emitters. Lobachevsky and Martin (2000) have identified the same mechanism to be responsible for part of strand breakage in oligo-deoxynucleotides. To elucidate a possible link between both damage patterns the molecular mechanics simulations have to be extended to larger parts of the DNA molecule.

Abstract
PURPOSE The efficiency of strand-break induction and the counting efficiency of a liquid-scintillation counter can both be described similarly in terms of Poisson statistics. The aim of this work is to relate these two concepts, developing a simple method to simulate with a liquid-scintillation counter the relative biological effects between two different electron-emitting radionuclides. METHODS A gel scintillator can be used to confine the decaying nuclei into nanoscale structures of liquid water (micelles). Because the fluorescing agents of the gel lay outside the micelle structure, the low-energy electrons emitted by the decaying nucleus lose part of their energy within the micelle structure before being detected, resulting in a negative increment of the counting efficiency. The difference in the counting efficiency between two gels with micelles of different characteristic sizes is applied to simulate the relative lethality of the radionuclides. RESULTS The results are only qualitatively successful. A better accuracy cannot be achieved for commercial liquid-scintillation spectrometers, which have two photomultiplier tubes of identical gain. Also the comparison cannot be extended to low-Z Auger-electron-emitting radionuclides such as (55)Fe, since the micelle size effect is significantly increased by the interference of the L-Auger electrons. CONCLUSIONS A liquid-scintillation counter with a gain decreased by a factor of 2.5 in one of the two photomultiplier tubes would be necessary to improve the simulation of the damaging efficiency.

Abstract
Previously, the kinetics of strand break production by (125)I-labeled m-iodo-p-ethoxyHoechst 33342 ((125)IEH) in supercoiled (SC) plasmid DNA had demonstrated that approximately 1 DSB is produced per (125)I decay both in the presence and absence of the hydroxyl radical scavenger DMSO. In these experiments, an (125)IEH:DNA molar ratio of 42:1 was used. We now hypothesize that this DSB yield (but not the SSB yield) may be an overestimate due to subsequent decays occurring in any of the 41 (125)IEH molecules still bound to nicked (N) DNA. To test our hypothesis, (125)IEH was incubated with SC pUC19 plasmids ((125)IEH:DNA ratio of approximately 3:1) and the SSB and DSB yields were quantified after the decay of (125)I. As predicted, the number of DSBs produced per (125)I decay is one-half that reported previously ( approximately 0.5 compared to approximately 1, +/- DMSO) whereas the number of SSBs ( approximately 3/(125)I decay) is similar to that obtained previously ( approximately 90% are generated by OH radicals). Direct visualization by atomic force microscopy confirms formation of L and N DNA after (125)IEH decays in SC DNA and supports the strand break yields reported. These findings indicate that although SSB production is independent of the number of (125)IEH bound to DNA, the DSB yield can be augmented erroneously by (125)I decays occurring in N DNA. Further analysis indicates that 17% of SSBs and 100% of DSBs take place within the plasmid molecule in which an (125)IEH molecule decays, whereas 83% of SSBs are formed in neighboring plasmid DNA molecules.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyse the lethality to mammalian cells of (125)I-decays in DNA, in antipyrine in the whole cell and in oligodeoxynucleotides in the nucleus outside DNA as a function of Auger event-site and number. MATERIALS AND METHODS Auger events cause both low- and high-linear energy transfer energy depositions including charge neutralization at the daughter nuclide. Microdosimetry allows the expression of absorbed dose to a defined micromass and the number of such events at given sites. Published data were used to relate micromass dose and event number to the dose to reduce survival to 37% of the initial survival (D37). RESULTS The D37 of (125)I-decays in DNA was 0.1 Gy in terms of absorbed dose to the cell nucleus and about 30 in terms of average decays per nucleus or whole cell. The D37 of (125)I-decays in antipyrine was 1.5 Gy for absorbed dose to the cell nucleus, about 250 in terms of average decays per nucleus and about 2 x 10(3) for average decays per whole cell. (125)I-decays in oligodeoxynucleotides were much less toxic than (125)I-decays in antipyrine by a factor of about 25 in terms of average absorbed dose to the cell nucleus, by a factor or about 40 in terms of average decays per cell nucleus and by a factor of six in terms of average decays per whole cell. CONCLUSION The unexpected low toxicity of (125)I-decays in nuclear oligodeoxynucleotides outside the DNA in comparison with (125)I-decays in antipyrine in the nucleus or the whole cell demands further attention on the role of oligodeoxynucleotides in altering cellular radiation sensitivity.

Abstract
Over the past 40 years, a small and highly committed group of scientists has pursued various investigations focused on understanding the physical phenomena underlying the emission of Auger electrons, the dosimetric implications of their submicroscopic deposition of energy, their radiobiological effects at the molecular and cellular levels, and their therapeutic potential in tumor-bearing animals and patients with cancer. Herein, I present an overview--historic vignette--of the exciting findings reported in this field and outline the unique opportunities given to the fortunate few who have, mostly through serendipity, been working within the fascinating world of Auger electron emitters.

Abstract
Auger-electron cascades with their ability to deposit energy in extremely small volumes, typically in the range of cubic nanometers, have served as valuable probes of radiobiologic phenomena. Results from their experimental use form part of the evidence that nuclear DNA is the most radiosensitive cell element; that chromosomal aberrations and large scale double-strand breaks are correlated with reproductive survival; that neoplastic transformation and also mutagenesis are greatest at low doses with high specific ionization; and that, like high linear-energy-transfer radiation, Auger-electron cascades can lead to bystander effects. We have also learned that radiobiologic responses to Auger-electron emission are particularly sensitive to the site of decay, not only within the cell but also in the nucleus within the fine structure of chromatin.

Abstract
We report on Auger stimulated ion desorption via Coulomb explosion from surface self-assembled alkylthiol and fluorocarbon molecular layers, triggered by K-capture decay of an imbedded radioactive 55Fe atom. The charge state of the ejecta is determined by charge exchange in binary atomic collisions in bulk and electron tunneling outside the solid, as well as by fragmentation of electronically excited molecules or molecular fragments. We describe the first nonbeam experiments documenting positive and abundant negative ion desorption due solely to core electron excitation after radioactive decay.

Abstract
The complement C5a receptor on U937 cells, a human histiocytic lymphoma cell line, stimulated with dibutyryl-cAMP have been stabilized for at least 3 months at a dilute, ready to use concentration. [125I]-Bolton Hunter labeled C5a, (recombinant, human) has been prepared by reverse phase HPLC to 2200 Ci/mmol. Using a filtration binding assay the Kd from receptor saturation analysis is 10-40 pM and there are 50,000-100,000 receptor sites per cell. These reagents have permitted the development of a reliable, reproducible and convenient drug screening assay, in kit format, for compounds acting at the C5a receptor.

Abstract
Halogenated thymidine analogs become incorporated into the DNA of proliferating cells during S-phase and may be used clinically to radiosensitize tumors that are otherwise poorly responsive to radiation. Although radiosensitization has been studied for years, mechanisms of radiosensitization are poorly understood. One possible mechanism involves the release of short range, high-LET, Auger electrons following photoelectric absorption of an X ray by the K-shell of the incorporated halogen. Such absorption occurs only with X ray energies slightly greater than the K-shell binding energy. We report the results of an experiment designed to measure this effect, in which cultured monolayers of Chinese hamster V79 cells, with 32% replacement of thymidine by bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR), were exposed to monoenergetic X rays just below (13.450 KeV) or above (13.490 KeV) the K-edge (13.475 KeV) of bromine. Enhancement ratios calculated in five different ways were slightly increased (3-12%) above the K-edge compared to below. However, only a calculation using a linear-quadratic fit to the data and a surviving fraction of 0.01 demonstrated a statistically significant increased enhancement ratio (12%) above the K-edge. We conclude that Auger electrons produced following photoelectric absorption of X rays by the K-shell of bromine contribute minimally to observed BUdR cellular radiosensitization.

Abstract
The effect of the photon energy on the radiosensitization produced by iododeoxyuridine (IUdR) was examined using Chinese hamster cells in vitro. Radiosensitization by IUdR was considerably higher for 60 keV photons from 241Am sources than for the 860 keV photons (average energy) from 226Ra sources, under continuous low dose rate conditions applicable to intracavitary brachytherapy (a dose rate of 0.57 Gy/hr). Also, IUdR radiosensitization was higher for 250 kV X rays than for 4 MV X rays under the acute exposure conditions used in external beam radiation therapy (dose rates of 1 to 2 Gy/min). These data support the hypothesis that photons with energies just greater than 32.2 keV, the K-absorption edge of iodine, are more effective in causing cell damage than are photons of other energies, because their absorption results in the production of Auger electron cascades and therefore in the production of high linear energy transfer (LET) radiations.

Abstract
Measurements have been made of the inactivation of the metallo-enzyme dihydro-oratic dehydrogenase in solution by characteristic X-rays at energies above and below the K absorption edge of the constituent iron atom. From the dose-survival curves and knowledge of the equilibrium electron spectrum generated by the X-ray 'field', inactivation cross-sections are deduced and expressed in terms of intrinsic efficiencies for the various proposed direct and indirect mechanisms of inactivation. It is concluded that the inactivation is caused by direct X-ray interaction in an area equivalent to about 30 per cent of the mean geometrical cross-section of the molecule, and is independent of whether the target is wet or dry. The contribution from Auger electron cascades, Coulomb charges etc. initiated by the inner-shell vacancy in the metal atom is negligible--possibly due to saturation effects. It seems that the presence of the metal atom simply serves to enhance the overall interaction probability with the molecule in a manner consistent with expectations from the photon absorption coefficients. No anomalously large damage is detected. These conclusions are supported by comparison with published results for other metallo-enzymes and bromine-loaded bacteria.

Abstract
Induction and repair of double- and single-strand DNA breaks have been measured after decays of 125I and 3H incorporated into the DNA and after external irradiation with 4 MeV electrons. For the decay experiments, cells of wild type Escherichia coli K-12 were superinfected with bacteriophage lambda DNA labelled with 5'-(125I)iodo-2'-deoxyuridine or with (methyl-3H)thymidine and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Aliquots were thawed at intervals and lysed at neutral pH, and the phage DNA was assayed for double- and single-strand breakage by neutral sucrose gradient centrifugation. The gradients used allowed measurements of both kinds of breaks in the same gradient. Decays of 125I induced 0.39 single-strand breaks per double-strand break. No repair of either break type could be detected. Each 3H disintegration caused 0.20 single-strand breaks and very few double-strand breaks. The single-strand breaks were rapidly rejoined after the cells were thawed. For irradiation with 4 MeV electrons, cells of wild type E. coli K-12 were superinfected with phage lambda and suspended in growth medium. Irradiation induced 42 single-strand breaks per double-strand break. The rates of break induction were 6.75 x 10(-14) (double-strand breaks) and 2.82 x 10(-12) (single-strand breaks) per rad and per dalton. The single-strand breaks were rapidly repaired upon incubation whereas the double-strand breaks seemed to remain unrepaired. It is concluded that double-strand breaks in superinfecting bacteriophage lambda DNA are repaired to a very small extent, if at all.

Abstract
Several new approaches to radiation therapy with radionuclides have been discussed. Iron 55 is selectively utilized in the red cell developmental cycle and in therapeutic doses, can lower marrow and circulating erythrocyte levels with much smaller degrees of effect on other cell lines. A serious complication, noted in animal studies, is the induction of neoplasma, especially osteosarcoma. Selective irradiation of the cell nucleus is possible with 125IUdR. This results in highly efficient cell killing due to the highly concentrated region of ionization. High concentrations of densely ionizing radiation in the malignant cell may also be accomplished with 211At. The use of labeled liposomes is an additional approach to the delivery of intracellular irradiation. None of these approaches is applicable for the practical treatment of human malignancy at the present time. The importance of these approaches is their value as models for future development of methods that can provide highly selective radiation to target sites.

Abstract
Iodine-125 decays by electron capture and is known to cause extensive molecular fragmentation via the Augur effect. 125I was incorporated into the DNA of exponentially-growing E. coli K12 AB2487, a recA mutant, and E. coli K12 AB2497, the corresponding rec+ strain, as 5-iododeoxyuridine (IUdR), an analogue of thymidine. Radioactive bacteria were stored at - 196 degrees C, and samples were periodically assayed for loss of viability and for the induction of double-strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA. Each 125I decay in the DNA of either strain induces one DSB, i.e. alpha(DSB) = 1.0. For the recA strain, alpha(lethal) = 0.9 and for the rec+ strain, 0.4. Assays for biological repair of DSBs, involving incubation of thawed samples in growth-medium at 37 degrees C before the extraction of DNA, demonstrate significant repair of 125I-induced DSBs by rec+ cells but none by recA cells. For small numbers of decays, there is approximately a 1:1 correlation, for either strain, between lethal decays and post-incubation residual DSBs. Comparison with data for larger numbers of decays indicates that a typical rec+ cell can repair no more than three to four DSBs per completed genome (2.5 x 10(9) daltons).

Abstract
The oxygen-enhancement ratio (o.e.r.) for 3H- and 125I-induced cell death at 4 degrees C was determined in cultured Chinese hamster cells. The o.e.r. for cell death induced by 3H-thymidine was 3-2, essentially the same value as that previously reported for X-ray induced cell death. For cell death induced by 125I-iododeoxyuridine (125IdUrd), the o.e.r. was less than 1-4. The lower o.e.r. for 125I-induced death was not due to the presence of the base analogue itself, since cells that had incorporated unlabelled IdUrd and were X-irradiated had an o.e.r. of 2-8 and cells that were inactivated by 3H-IdUrd damage at 4 degrees C had an o.e.r. even greater than 3. These results suggest that 125I-decay damage, like high-linear-energy-transfer radiation damage, is only slightly increased by the presence of oxygen.

Abstract
L1210 leukaemia cells were labelled with various doses of 67Ga-citrate, 3H-thymidine, or 125I-iododeoxyuridine to evaluate the cytocidal effects of the intracellular decay of the three radionuclides. Based on radioisotope incorporation data, cellular dimensions, and intracellular radioisotope distributions (3H and 125I intranuclear, 67Ga cytoplasmic) the rates of deposition of cellular, nuclear, and cytoplasmic energy were calculated. In terms of energy absorption/cell, 67Ga (LD50: 2250 keV/hr; 69 rad/hr) was much less toxic than either 3H (LD50: 325 keV/hr; 10 rad/hr) of 125I (LD50:50 keV/hr; 1-5 rad/hr). In terms of energy absorption/nuclesu, 67Ga and 3H produced almost identical effects (LD50: 230 versus 255 keV/hr; 22-2 versus 24-6 rad/hr), but 125I remained much more toxic (LD50: 40 keV/hr; 3-9 rad/hr). These findings indicate that, although decay by electron capture in the cell nucleus (125I) is highly destructive, the same type of decay occurring in the cytoplasm (67Ga) is ineffective in killing L1210 cells. An analysis of the data suggests that the cytotoxic effects of the three radioisotopes result exclusively from nuclear damage. Cytoplasmic absorption of radiation energy appears to contribute little, if anything, to the lethal effects of ionizing radiations.

Abstract
The DNA of coliphages T4 and T1 was labelled with 125I-iododeoxyuridine. 125I decay is known to cause severe molecular damage via vacancy cascades (the Auger effect). We have compared the induction of both single- and double-strand breaks (SSBs and DSBs) in 125I-labelled T4 DNA stored at - 196 degrees C during decay, either as intact phage or as free DNA. These comparative experiments indicate that, in addition to one DSB which apparently results directly from the Auger effect, each decay in an intact phage also give rise to an additional 0-05 DSBs, as well as 1-6 SSBs, as a result of ionizing radiation absorbed in the same phage particle where the decay occurs. An examination of T4-killing by 125I decay reveals a two-phase survival curve, whose initial slope corresponds to a lethal efficency per 125I decay of 0-95 +/- 0-05, which is considerably higher than values previously determined. The results for phage T4, and of a more limited comparison of 125I suicide and DNA damage in phage T1, support the hypothesis that the vacancy cascades which accompany each 125I decay in DNA result in a double-strand break at the decay site and that each such break is a lethal event.
