Abstract (de) | Schwerionenstrahlung entfaltet bei gleicher physikalischer Dosis eine höhere biologische Wirksamkeit als Photonenstrahlung. In dieser Arbeit wurden die Ursachen dafür anhand der DNA-Schadensantwort in U87 Glioblastomzellen untersucht. Ausschlaggebend sind hierbei DNA-Doppelstrangbrüche (DSBs), deren Induktion und Reparatur durch Messung des DSBMarkers H2AX (phosphoryliertes Histon H2AX) im Kontext des Zellzyklus verfolgt wurde. |
Abstract (en) | Heavy ion rdiation has greater biological effectiveness than the same physical dose of photon radiation. In this work the underlying reasons in the DNA damage response were analyzed in U87 glioblastoma cells. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the decicive lesions for the effectiveness of ionizing radiation. Their induction and repair was measured in the context of the cell cycle based on the DSB marker H2AX (the phosphorylated form of the histone variant H2AX). Further, radiation-specific differences in choice of the DSB repair pathway was analyzed, as well as the consequences of repair failure. The results showed that in contrast to photons, 12C ion radiation produce more severe DSBs that are repaired delayed and with slower kinetics. Accordingly, stronger and longer lasting cell cycle delays, predominantly at the G2/M border, and a higher rate of apoptosis was detected for 12C ion radiation. Autophagy, an alternative mechanism of programmed cell death, was not relevant for neighter of the two types of radiation. The effect of 12C ion radiation was less dependent on the cell cycle stage than for photon radiation. This became particularly evident in the DSB repair velocities during S- and G2-phase. After 12C ion radiation, cells were more dependent on homologous recombination repair (HRR) compared to photon radiation. |
