Track detection on the cells exposed to high LET heavy-ions by CR-39 plastic and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)
Background: The fatal effect of ionizing radiation on cells depends on Linear Energy Transfer (LET) level. The distribution of ionizing radiation is sparse and homogeneous for low LET radiations such as X or γ, but it is dense and concentrated for high LET radiation such as heavy-ions radiation. Material and Methods: Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1) were exposed to 4 Gy Fe-ion 2000 keV/...
متن کاملApplications of High-Throughput Clonogenic Survival Assays in High-LET Particle Microbeams
Charged particle therapy is increasingly becoming a valuable tool in cancer treatment, mainly due to the favorable interaction of particle radiation with matter. Its application is still limited due, in part, to lack of data regarding the radiosensitivity of certain cell lines to this radiation type, especially to high-linear energy transfer (LET) particles. From the earliest days of radiation ...
متن کاملResearch and development of focused proton microbeam irradiation system, SPICE for radio-biological studies.
There is continuing interest for the use of microbeam irradiation systems designed to deliver a defined number of charged particles on a single cell with a resolution of a few micrometers. Irradiation of an exact number of charged particles on a single cell means that the limitations of the Poisson distribution of the number of charged particles can be overcome. Moreover, microbeams are particu...
متن کاملInduction of cancer stem-like cells in A549 cells after exposure to carbon ions and X-rays
Background: Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) play a crucial role in the initiation, progression, and recurrence of cancer. Evidence indicates that the high linear energy transfer (LET) carbon ion beam is more effective against CSCs than the conventional X-ray beam. Carbon ion radiotherapy is considered as a promising cancer strategy, however, information about whether, or not, new CSCs are induced...
متن کاملMicrobeam irradiation to study hypersensitive response of A549 NSCLC cells after low-dose irradiation with low-Let protons
Over the past decade, low dose effects of ionising radiation have been highlighted and studied, example include low dose hyper-radiosensitivity (HRS), bystander effect, and adaptive responses. Although these effects are largely reported after X-ray irradiation, it is of great interest to also study them after charged particle irradiation. Such studies can inform a range of separate but interlin...
