    Abstract The cell cycle dependence of radiosensitivity has yet to be fully determined, as it is technically difficult to achieve a high degree of cell cycle synchronization in cultured cell systems and accurately detect the cell cycle phase of individual cells simultaneously. We used human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells expressing fluorescent ubiquitination-based cell cycle indicators (FUCCI), and employed the mitotic harvesting method that is one of the cell cycle synchronization methods. The imaging analysis confirmed that the cell cycle is highly synchronized after mitotic cell harvesting until 18-20 h of the doubling time has elapsed. Also, flow cytometry analysis revealed that the S and G2 phases peak at approximately 12 and 14-16 h, respectively, after mitotic harvesting. In addition, the clonogenic assay showed the changes in surviving fractions following exposure to X-rays according to the progress through the cell cycle. These results indicate that HeLa-FUCCI cells become radioresistant in the G1 phase, become radiosensitive in the early S phase, rapidly become radioresistant in the late S phase, and become radiosensitive again in the G2 phase. Our findings may contribute to the further development of combinations of radiation and cell cycle-specific anticancer agents.

    Abstract The genotoxicity of radiation on germ cells may be passed on to the next generation, thus its elucidation is not only a scientific issue but also an ethical, legal, and social issue in modern society. In this article, we briefly overview the effects of radiation on spermatogenesis and its associated genotoxicity, including the latest findings in the field of radiobiology. The potential role of transgenerational effects is still poorly understood, and further research in this area is desirable. Furthermore, from the perspective of oncofertility, we discuss the historical background and clinical importance of preserving male fertility during radiation treatment and the potential of microbeam radiotherapy. We hope that this review will contribute to stimulating further discussions and investigations for therapies for pediatric and adolescent/young adult patients.

    Abstract There is agreement that high-LET radiation has a high Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) when delivered as a single treatment, but how it interacts with radiations of different qualities, such as X-rays, is less clear. We sought to clarify these effects by quantifying and modelling responses to X-ray and alpha particle combinations. Cells were exposed to X-rays, alpha particles, or combinations, with different doses and temporal separations. DNA damage was assessed by 53BP1 immunofluorescence, and radiosensitivity assessed using the clonogenic assay. Mechanistic models were then applied to understand trends in repair and survival. 53BP1 foci yields were significantly reduced in alpha particle exposures compared to X-rays, but these foci were slow to repair. Although alpha particles alone showed no inter-track interactions, substantial interactions were seen between X-rays and alpha particles. Mechanistic modelling suggested that sublethal damage (SLD) repair was independent of radiation quality, but that alpha particles generated substantially more sublethal damage than a similar dose of X-rays, [Formula: see text]. This high RBE may lead to unexpected synergies for combinations of different radiation qualities which must be taken into account in treatment design, and the rapid repair of this damage may impact on mechanistic modelling of radiation responses to high LETs.

    Abstract Variations in the intrinsic radiosensitivity of different cells to ionizing radiation is now widely believed to be a significant driver in differences in response to radiotherapy. While the mechanisms of radiosensitivity have been extensively studied in the laboratory, there are a lack of models which integrate this knowledge into a predictive framework. This paper presents an overview of the Medras model, which has been developed to provide a mechanistic framework in which different radiation responses can be modelled and individual responses predicted. This model simulates the repair of radiation-induced DNA damage, incorporating the overall kinetics of repair and its fidelity, to predict a range of biological endpoints including residual DNA damage, mutation, chromosome aberration, and cell death. Validation of this model against a range of exposure types is presented, including considerations of varying radiation qualities and dose-rates. This approach has the potential to inform new tools to deliver mechanistic predictions of radiation sensitivity, and support future developments in treatment personalization.
