Loss of p15/Ink4b accompanies tumorigenesis triggered by complex DNA double-strand breaks
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most deleterious lesion inflicted by ionizing radiation. Although DSBs are potentially carcinogenic, it is not clear whether complex DSBs that are refractory to repair are more potently tumorigenic compared with simple breaks that can be rapidly repaired, correctly or incorrectly, by mammalian cells. We previously demonstrated that complex DSBs induced by high-linear energy transfer (LET) Fe ions are repaired slowly and incompletely, whereas those induced by low-LET gamma rays are repaired efficiently by mammalian cells. To determine whether Fe-induced DSBs are more potently tumorigenic than gamma ray-induced breaks, we irradiated 'sensitized' murine astrocytes that were deficient in Ink4a and Arf tumor suppressors and injected the surviving cells subcutaneously into nude mice. Using this model system, we find that Fe ions are potently tumorigenic, generating tumors with significantly higher frequency and shorter latency compared with tumors generated by gamma rays. Tumor formation by Fe-irradiated cells is accompanied by rampant genomic instability and multiple genomic changes, the most interesting of which is loss of the p15/Ink4b tumor suppressor due to deletion of a chromosomal region harboring the CDKN2A and CDKN2B loci. The additional loss of p15/Ink4b in tumors derived from cells that are already deficient in p16/Ink4a bolsters the hypothesis that p15 plays an important role in tumor suppression, especially in the absence of p16. Indeed, we find that reexpression of p15 in tumor-derived cells significantly attenuates the tumorigenic potential of these cells, indicating that p15 loss may be a critical event in tumorigenesis triggered by complex DSBs

EIGHTY YEARS OF CYCLOTRONS
Lawrence's invention of the cyclotron in 1930 not only<br />revolutionized nuclear physics, but proved the starting<br />point for a whole variety of recirculating accelerators,<br />from microtrons to FFAGs to synchrotrons, that have had<br />an enormous impact in almost every branch of science<br />and several areas of medicine and industry. Cyclotrons<br />(i.e. fixed-field accelerators) themselves have proved<br />remarkably adaptable, incorporating a variety of new<br />ideas and technologies over the years: frequency modulation,<br />edge focusing, AG focusing, axial and azimuthal<br />injection, ring geometries, stripping extraction, superconducting<br />magnets and rf... Long may they flourish
ECRIS DEVELOPMENT AT KVI*
This paper reports on work performed during the last<br />two years to improve the performance of the KVI-AECR<br />ion source, which is used as an injector for the AGOR<br />cyclotron. We have installed stainless-steel screens at the<br />injection and extraction sides and an additional collar<br />around the extraction aperture resulting in better plasma<br />stability and an increase of extracted ion currents. Source<br />tuning is aided by continuously observing the visible light<br />output of the plasma through the extraction aperture with<br />a CCD camera. We now routinely extract 700 μA of O6+<br />ions and 50 μA of Pb27+ ions.<br />Source optimization is supported by extensive<br />computational modelling of the ion transport in the lowenergy<br />beam line and measuring the transverse emittance<br />of the extracted ion beam with a pepperpot emittance<br />meter. These efforts have shown that second-order<br />aberrations in the analyzing magnet lead to a significant<br />increase of the effective beam emittance. Work is<br />underway to compensate these aberrations.IMP;Chinese Academy of Science
THEORETICAL ANALYSIS AND FABRICATION OF COUPLING CAPACITOR FOR K500 SUPERCONDUCTING CYCLOTRON AT KOLKATA
K500 SC cyclotron has already been constructed and<br />commissioned after spiralling Ne3+ internal beam with 70<br />nA up to extraction radius (670mm) at variable Energy<br />Cyclotron Centre at Kolkata, India. Several problems<br />have been experienced related to the coupling capacitor of<br />the radio frequency system including its sever burning<br />during commissioning of the cyclotron. Making of the<br />dissimilar joints between alumina ceramic and copper of<br />the coupling capacitor demands the usage of vacuum<br />furnace to avoid the cracking of the ceramic. Therefore<br />exhaustive analysis has been carried out to facilitate the<br />in-house fabrication of the coupling capacitor without<br />using the vacuum furnace in case of emergency. The<br />maximum allowable rate of temperature rise of the<br />ceramic and the optimum thickness ratio of the copper to<br />ceramic have been estimated. Finally, fabrication of the<br />coupling capacitor has been carried out in-house without<br />employing vacuum furnace. At present the coupling<br />capacitor is performing well as maximum 57 KV DEE<br />voltage were been achieved till date. This paper presents<br />the details of the analysis and experiences gained during<br />the fabrication of the coupling capacitor.IMP;Chinese Academy of Science
CLOSED LOOP RF TUNING FOR SUPERCONDUCITNG CYCLOTRON AT VECC
The RF system of Superconducting cyclotron has been
operational within 9 - 27 MHz frequency. It has three
tunable half-wave coaxial cavities as main resonators and
three tunable RF amplifier cavities. A PC-based system
takes care of stepper motor driven coarse tuning of
cavities with positional accuracy ~20μm and
hydraulically driven three couplers and three trimmers.
The couplers, in open loop, match the cavity impedance
to 50 Ohm in order to feed power from RF amplifier.
Trimmers operate in closed loop for fine tuning the cavity,
if detuned thermally at high RF power. The control logic
has been simulated and finally implemented with
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Precision control
of trimmer (~20μm) is essential to achieve the
accelerating (Dee) voltage stability better than 100 ppm.
and also minimizing the RF power to maintain it. Phase
difference between Dee-in and Dee-pick-off signals and
the reflected power signals (from cavity) together act in
closed loop for fine tuning of the cavity. The closed loop
PID control determines the final positioning of the
trimmer in each power level and achieved the required
voltage stability.IMP;Chinese Academy of Science
28GHZ SC-ECRIS AT RIBF
The next generation heavy ion accelerator facility at
RIKEN, requires an intense beam of high charged heavy
ions. To meet the requirements, we constructed and tested
the RIKEN new SC-ECRIS. After producing the first
beam in the spring of 2009, we tried to optimize the ion
source condition for maximizing the beam intensity with
18GHz microwave. We observed that the gentler field
gradient and lager ECR zone size give higher beam
intensity. Based on these studies, we produced 500μA of
Ar11+ and 350μA of Ar12+ at the RF power of 1.8kW. We
also produced highly charged U ion beam with sputtering
method for RIBF. In this article, we describe the structure
of the ion source, test experiment and future plan.IMP;Chinese Academy of Science
