Performance Evaluation for Repair of HSGc-C5 Carcinoma Cell Using Geant4-DNA.

ABSTRACT: Track-structure Monte Carlo simulations are useful tools to evaluate initial DNA damage induced by irradiation. In the previous study, we have developed a Gean4-DNA-based application to estimate the cell surviving fraction of V79 cells after irradiation, bridging the gap between the initial DNA damage and the DNA rejoining kinetics by means of the two-lesion kinetics (TLK) model. However, since the DNA repair performance depends on cell line, the same model parameters cannot be used for different cell lines. Thus, we extended the Geant4-DNA application with a TLK model for the evaluation of DNA damage repair performance in HSGc-C5 carcinoma cells which are typically used for evaluating proton/carbon radiation treatment effects. For this evaluation, we also performed experimental measurements for cell surviving fractions and DNA rejoining kinetics of the HSGc-C5 cells irradiated by 70 MeV protons at the cyclotron facility at the National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology (QST). Concerning fast- and slow-DNA rejoining, the TLK model parameters were adequately optimized with the simulated initial DNA damage. The optimized DNA rejoining speeds were reasonably agreed with the experimental DNA rejoining speeds. Using the optimized TLK model, the Geant4-DNA simulation is now able to predict cell survival and DNA-rejoining kinetics for HSGc-C5 cells.

Project description:PurposeThe simulation of individual particle tracks and the chemical stage following water radiolysis in biological tissue is an effective means of improving our knowledge of the physico-chemical contribution to the biological effect of ionizing radiation. However, the step-by-step simulation of the reaction kinetics of radiolytic species is the most time-consuming task in Monte Carlo track-structure simulations, with long simulation times that are an impediment to research. In this work, we present the implementation of the independent reaction times (IRT) method in Geant4-DNA Monte Carlo toolkit to improve the computational efficiency of calculating G-values, defined as the number of chemical species created or lost per 100 eV of deposited energy.MethodsThe computational efficiency of IRT, as implemented, is compared to that from available Geant4-DNA step-by-step simulations for electrons, protons and alpha particles covering a wide range of linear energy transfer (LET). The accuracy of both methods is verified using published measured data from fast electron irradiations for • OH and e aq - for time-dependent G-values. For IRT, simulations in the presence of scavengers irradiated by cobalt-60 γ-ray and 2 MeV protons are compared with measured data for different scavenging capacities. In addition, a qualitative assessment comparing measured LET-dependent G-values with Geant4-DNA calculations in pure liquid water is presented.ResultsThe IRT improved the computational efficiency by three orders of magnitude relative to the step-by-step method while differences in G-values by 3.9% at 1 μs were found. At 7 ps, • OH and e aq - yields calculated with IRT differed from recent published measured data by 5% ± 4% and 2% ± 4%, respectively. At 1 μs, differences were 9% ± 5% and 6% ± 7% for • OH and e aq - , respectively. Uncertainties are one standard deviation. Finally, G-values at different scavenging capacities and LET-dependent G-values reproduced the behavior of measurements for all radiation qualities.ConclusionThe comprehensive validation of the Geant4-DNA capabilities to accurately simulate the chemistry following water radiolysis is an ongoing work. The implementation presented in this work is a necessary step to facilitate performing such a task.
