Aim of study Aim of the study was to investigate variability beetwenprostate cancerpatients or benign prostate hyperplasia diseasepatients in a cellular response to the challenging dose of X-rays. The results were compared with the response of healthy donor’s cells. It is a part of wider study which aim was to understand the mechanisms of cellular response that could help in deciding wheter prostate cancer patient should recieve radiotherapy or surgery.
Materials and methods Investigated groups: • Prostate Cancer (PC) patients: 31 males, avarage age:62.6y • Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH)patients: 29 males, avarage age: 68.5y • Internal Standard cells (IS): healthy male donor DNA repair competence assay (fig.1): • Challenging dose of X-rays • DNA damage detection:alkaline version ofSingle Cell Gel Electrophoresis (SCGE)
Materials and methods The analysis of DNA in the comets were applied with the use of two parameters from the Komet 3.0 or Komet 5.5 software (Kinetic Imaging Company, Liverpool, UK): • TDNA – tail-DNA (percentage of DNA in the comet tail) • TM – tail moment (which expresses the percentage ofDNA in the tail multiplied by the tail length TL—the length of the comet tail measured from the edge of the comet head)
Patient’s lymphocytes Internal standard lymphocytes Viability test X-irradiation on ice, total dose 3Gy Radiosensitivity was evaluated as follows: ST-DNA = T-DNAx – T-DNA0 T-DNAx– measured after irradiation T-DNA0 - measured without irradiation Degree of DNA damage not repaired during the incubation (Residul Damage): RDT-DNA=T-DNA40min/T-DNAx100% T-DNA40min – measured after 40 min incubation Repair: 40 min, 37oC, medium: 80%RPMI,20%FCS Comet assay Figure 1.

Results Table 1 The avarage levels of Radiosensitivity and Residual Damage evaluated for investigated groups of patients standardized with IS cells. Significant (p<.05) increase in RDTM in cells of BPH patients and PC patients in comparison with Healthy Donor cells. Significant increase in RDT-DNA in cells of BPH patients in comparision with PC patients Significantly (p<.05) increased Radiosensitivity of lymphocytes collected from PC and BPH patients in comparison with IS cells Table 2 The avarage levels of Radiosensitivity and Residual Damage evaluated for healthy person (IS)
Variability of celluar radiosensitivity ST-DNA = 27.4 SD = 5.0 Figure 1 Celluar radiosensitivity of PC patients (ST-DNA) described as the dispersion from avarage of healthy donor cells. In a group of PC patients the range of Radiosensitivity (ST-DNA)was from 16.9 to 40.9, while from 18.7 to 36.9 in group of BPH patients ST-DNA = 27.5 SD = 5.3 Figure 2 Celluar radiosensitivity of BPH patients (ST-DNA) described as the dispersion from avarage of helathy donor cells.
Variability of Residual Damage RDT-DNA = 55.1 SD = 16.9 Higher variability of RDin a group of PC patients than for BPH patients Figure 3Residual damage (RDT-DNA) of PC patients evaluated as the dispersion from avarage of healthy donor cells. In a group of PC patients the ratio between highiest and the lowest RDTM was 6.2. In a group of BPH patients the ratio was 5.6 ST-DNA = 64.7 SD = 12.6 Figure 4Residual damage (RDT-DNA) of BPH patients evaluated as the dispersion from avarage of healthy donor cells.
Conclusion • Significant increase in Residual Damage in cells of BPH patients and PC patients in comparison with Healthy Donor cells. • Significantly increased Radiosensitivity of lymphocytes collected from PC and BPH patients in comparison with Healthy Donor cells • Higher variability of Residual Damagein a group of PC patients than for BPH patients It is hopefully possible to identify a subpopulations of patients whose cells are more radiosensitive or resistant or express higher or lower efficiency of DNA damage repair. In a consequence it might be useful information in a process of optimization and individualization of the therapy.
