研究目的
To investigate the radiobiological effects of ultrashort pulsed electron beam (UPEB) radiation in vitro, compared to X-ray radiation, focusing on DNA damage/repair, cell viability, and micronuclei formation.
研究成果
UPEB radiation induces more complex DNA damage than X-ray radiation, leading to slower repair kinetics and higher apoptosis induction, with a lower level of micronuclei formation. This suggests UPEB radiation's potential for precise medical applications due to its unique radiobiological effects.
研究不足
The study focused on in vitro effects, which may not fully replicate in vivo conditions. The comparison was limited to UPEB and X-ray radiation, and the mechanisms behind the observed differences in DNA damage complexity and repair kinetics were not fully elucidated.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study compared the effects of UPEB and X-ray radiation on human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5 cell line) at doses of 0.1, 0.5, and 1 Gy. The focus was on DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) marked by γH2AX foci, micronuclei induction, and apoptosis.
2：1, 5, and 1 Gy. The focus was on DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) marked by γH2AX foci, micronuclei induction, and apoptosis.
Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: The MRC-5 cell line was used, representing well-characterized human normal fibroblasts. Cells were irradiated with UPEB generated by a laser-driven radiofrequency gun-based linear AREAL accelerator and X-ray from a RUM-17 X-ray machine.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
AREAL accelerator for UPEB, RUM-17 X-ray machine, DMEM culture medium, fetal bovine serum, L-glutamine, penicillin, streptomycin, Annexin V/7AAD assay kit, Cytochalasin B, Giemsa stain, primary and secondary antibodies for immunofluorescence.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Cells were irradiated, then analyzed for γH2AX foci, apoptosis via flow cytometry, and micronuclei formation via cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analyses were conducted using GraphPad Prism, with data presented as means of three independent experiments ± standard error. Differences between groups were determined by Dunn’s post hoc test.
