Abstract: Purpose and Methods : To detect related genes mutation in human bronchial epithelial (BEP2D) cells transformed by α-particles and by using PCR amplification and single2strand conformation polymorphism ( SSCP) . Results : The point mutation of double-strand break repair gene XRCC5 occurred at the early stage of transformation , but no mutation was found in the exon-of p16 gene and exon12 of hMSH2 gene. Conclusion :Mutated XRCC5 gene can't repair DNA lesions induced byα-particles , and plays as one initiator in the process of transformation induced byα-particles.

Key words: alpha-particle, BEP2D cell, cell transformation, PCR-SSCP, XRCC5 gene
