Whole transcriptomic screening the RNA from control (O), photon radiotherapy (X) and proton therapy (P) tumors

ABSTRACT: The general purpose of the experiment is to compare the therapeutic effect of photon (X) radiotherapy versus proton (P) therapy for head and neck carcinoma. For that purpose we have generated cells that have resisted to multi irradiations by X or P. We have then injected these human cells in nude mice. Whereas these cells proliferate less than the control (0, non-irradiated cells) in vitro, they formed bigger tumors in mice compared to 0 cells. Hence, the hypothesis is that they secreted factors that educate the microenvironment. We have observed that although the tumors generated by the P cells are as big as those generated by the X cells, the lymphangiogenic/metastatic capacity is greater for the X cells. Hence, we would like to compare within a whole transcriptomic screening the RNA from 0, X and P tumors. The provided samples consist of a mix of human and mouse RNA.

Project description:Molecular mechanisms of the cancer cells-macrophages interactions growing in vitro conditions as a co-culture. The five canine mammary cancer cell lines were cultured with monocytes sorted from the canine blood for 72hrs. Then, the cancer cells and macrophages were sorted and the gene expression analysis was conducted. The control for each co-cultured cell line was the same cell line growing as a single culture, whereas the control for the macrophages growing in a co-culture conditions were macrophages growing as a single culture. Solid tumors are comprised of various cells, like cancer cells, resident stromal cells, migratory hemopoietic cells and so on. These cells regulate tumor growth and metastasis. Macrophages are probably the most important element of the interactions within the tumor microenvironment. However, the molecular mechanism how the tumor environment can educate tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) toward a tumor-promoting phenotype still remains unknown. Moreover, there are no information how the presence of macrophages change the cancer cells phenotype. Exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms of these phenomena was the aim of this study.

Project description:The growing number of particle treatment facilities worldwide and patients treated with particles instead of X-rays marks the upcoming rearrangement of modern radiotherapy. Especially for tumors being difficult to access and for tumors that are resistant to conventional X-ray treatment particle radiotherapy is a beneficial technology. At the Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center (HIT) patients are treated with this technology since 2009 as it offers clear benefits. Contrary to X-rays, which show an exponential dose decrease (after reaching electron equilibrium) with increasing tissue depth, charged particles deposit most of their energy to a small region within the tissue with a sharp dose fall-off after the so-called Bragg peak. This precise dose localization enables further dose escalation within the tumor while sparing healthy tissue. Besides physical advantages, particle radiotherapy offers additional biological advantages. In radiobiology, the term relative-biological effectiveness (RBE) is defined as the ratio of X-rays dose to an alternative irradiation modality dose which produce the same biological effect (e.g. survival or number of DSBs). While protons have a relative biological effectiveness (RBE) comparable to X-rays, carbon ions are more effective in inducing DNA damage(1, 2) and are therefore especially useful for radioresistant tumors. This is due to the fact, that carbon ions induce clustered and direct DNA damage, which is considered to be less dependent on cell cycle stage, oxygen level, genetic background and hinders DNA repair mechanisms(3–6). Nevertheless, their exact mode of action and cellular mechanisms are largely unknown. We show the first comprehensive proteomic and phosphoproteomic study elucidating the cellular response to treatment with protons, carbon ions and X-rays. We found that 2h after treatment with these radiations negligible regulation occurred at protein expression level. But 181 phosphorylation sites were deregulated by ionizing radiation contributing mainly to DNA damage response functionalities. Interestingly we found 55 phosphorylation sites being differentially regulated between the radiations. Here, we observed protons and carbon ions producing equal cellular response whereas X-rays show altered regulation for certain phosphorylation sites. A subset of 28 phosphorylation sites being involved in the DNA damage response or differentially regulated between the ionizing radiations was selected for result confirmation.
