| Abstract: The aim of this research was to find out whether the passage number effect may influence on the PC-3 cells (the human prostate cancer line derived from bone metastases) response to proton radiation. 2 MeV horizontally focused proton microbeam was used as a radiation source. The cells were treated with a counted number of H+ ions (50–8000) corresponding to doses of 1.3–209 Gy/cell. For comparison, cell death was also induced by UVC radiation. All cells were stained with Hoechst 33342 and propidium iodide and visualized under a fluorescence microscope. Necrosis was observed at: a) 8000 protons per cell (corresponding to ~209 Gy/cell) after 2–4 passages, b) 3200 protons per cell (corresponding to ~84 Gy/cell) for cells after 11–14 passages and c) only 800 protons per cell (corresponding to ~2 Gy/cell ) after 47–50 passages. Apoptosis was efficiently induced, by protons, only in cells after 50 passages. The results showed that the laboratory conditions affected cellular response of PC-3 cell line to the proton irradiation. The cellular response to the radiation treatment strongly depends on number of passages. |
