Effectiveness of Flattening-Filter-Free versus Flattened Beams in V79 and Glioblastoma Patient-Derived Stem-like Cells
Literature data on the administration of conventional high-dose beams with (FF) or without flattening filters (FFF) show conflicting results on biological effects at the cellular level. To contribute to this field, we irradiated V79 Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts and two patient-derived glioblasto...

description | Literature data on the administration of conventional high-dose beams with (FF) or without flattening filters (FFF) show conflicting results on biological effects at the cellular level. To contribute to this field, we irradiated V79 Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts and two patient-derived glioblastoma stem-like cell lines (GSCs—named #1 and #83) using a clinical 10 MV accelerator with FF (at 4 Gy/min) and FFF (at two dose rates 4 and 24 Gy/min). Cell killing and DNA damage induction, determined using the γ-H2AX assay, and gene expression were studied. No significant differences in the early survival of V79 cells were observed as a function of dose rates and FF or FFF beams, while a trend of reduction in late survival was observed at the highest dose rate with the FFF beam. GSCs showed similar survival levels as a function of dose rates, both delivered in the FFF regimen. The amount of DNA damage measured for both dose rates after 2 h was much higher in line #1 than in line #83, with statistically significant differences between the two dose rates only in line #83. The gene expression analysis of the two GSC lines indicates gene signatures mimicking the prognosis of glioblastoma (GBM) patients derived from a public database. Overall, the results support the current use of FFF and highlight the possibility of identifying patients with candidate gene signatures that could benefit from irradiation with FFF beams at a high dose rate. |
