ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study is to elucidate in vitro responses to combined gamma knife irradiation and p53 gene transfection on human malignant glioma cell lines.METHODS:
Two malignant human glioma cell lines, U87MG (p53-wild type) and U373MG (p53-mutant) were transfected with an adenoviral vector containing p53 (MOI of 50) before and after applying 20Gy of gamma irradiation. Various assessments were performed, including, cell viability by MTT assay; apoptosis by annexin assay; and cell cycle by flow cytometry, for the seven groups mock, p53 only, gamma knife (GK) only, GK after LacZ, LacZ after GK, GK after p53, p53 after GK.RESULTS:
Cell survival decreased especially, in the subgroup transfected with p53 after gamma irradiation. Apoptosis tended to increase in p53 transfected U373 MG after gamma irradiation (apoptotic rate, 38.9%). The G2-M phase cell cycle arrest markedly increased by transfecting with p53, 48 hours after gamma knife irradiation in U373 MG (G2-M phase, 90.8%).CONCLUSION:
These results suggest that the in vitro effects of combined gamma knife irradiation and p53 gene transfection is an augmentation of apoptosis and G2-M phase cell cycle arrest, which are more exaggerated in U373 MG with p53 transfection after gamma knife irradiation.
