| contents | The variation of the oxygen enhancement ratio (OER) across Linear Energy Transfer (LET) currently lacks a comprehensive mechanistic interpretation and a mechanistic model. Our earlier research revealed a significant correlation between the distribution of double-strand breaks (DSBs) within 3D genome and radiation-induced cell death, which offers valuable insights into the oxygen effect. We propose a model where the reaction of oxygen is represented as the probability of inducing DNA strand breaks. Then it is integrated into a track-structure Monte Carlo simulation to investigate the impact of oxygen on the distribution of DSBs within 3D genome. Using the parameters from our previous study, we calculate the OER values related to cell survival. Results show that the incidence ratios of clustered DSBs in a single topologically associating domain (TAD) (case 2) and DSBs in frequently-interacting TADs (case 3) under aerobic and hypoxic conditions align with the trend of the OER of cell survival across LET. Our OER curves exhibit good correspondence with experimental data. This study provides a potentially mechanistic explanation for changes in OER across LET. High-LET irradiation leads to dense ionization events, resulting in an overabundance of lesions that readily induce case 2 and case 3, which have substantially higher probabilities of cell killing than other damage patterns. This may contribute to the main mechanism governing the variation of OER for high LET. Our study further underscores the importance of the DSB distribution within 3D genome in the context of radiation-induced cell death. |
