Abstract
We examined the relationship between p53 levels before and after irradiation, radiation-induced cell cycle delays, apoptotic cell death and radiosensitivity in a panel of eight human tumour cell lines. The cell lines differed widely in their clonogenic survival after radiation, (surviving fraction at 2 Gy: SF2=0.18-0.82). Constitutive p53 protein levels varied from 2.2 +/- 0.4 to 6.3 +/- 0.3 optical density units (OD) per 10(6) cells. p53 after irradiation (6 Gy) also varied between the cell lines, ranging from no induction to a 1.6-fold increase in p53 levels 4 h after treatment. p53 function was also assessed by G1 cell cycle arrest after irradiation. The cellular response to radiation, measured as G0/G1 arrest, and the induction of apoptosis were in good agreement. However, a trace amount of DNA ladder formation was found in two cell lines lacking G1 arrest. Overall cellular radiosensitivity correlated well with the level of radiation-induced G1 arrest (correlation coefficient r=0.856; P=0.0067), with p53 constitutive levels (r=0.874, P=0.0046), and with p53 protein fold induction (r=-0.882, P=0.0038). Our data suggest that (1) the constitutive p53 level, (2) G1 arrest after irradiation, or (3) the p53 protein response to ra...Continue Reading
