Radition Effect on Colony Formation of HeLa.S3(SC) Cell Line

HeLa.S3(SC) 세포계의 집락형성에 미치는 방사선의 효과

Since discovery of X-rays, radiotherapy has evolved into one of the most scientific branches of medicine and has established its role as the primary line or the secondary line of attack, after surgery, in the treatment of malignant cancers. Nowadays its importance is illustrated by the fact that as many as 70 per cent of all pastients with cancer will receive radiation therapy at sometime during their disease process. Biologic effects of X-rays began to be apparant soon after the discovery by Roentgen in 1895. In clinical radiotherapy, the biologic endpoint of most importance is loss of cellular reproductive ability or clonogenicity. One of the commonest ways to assess cell survival is to use an in vitro plating assay. We analyzed radiation effect on colony formation of HaLa.S3(SC) cell line and obtained results are as follows: The plating efficiency is 0.464. The shape of cell survival curve is similar to multi-target plus single hit component model. Estimated values of Do, Dq, and extrapolation number are 150 cGy, 80 cGy and 1.7 respectively. We reported these experimental data with review of literature.

임상적으로 많이 이용되는 범위의 방사선 조사에서는 증식능의 상실을 세포사망으로 정의를 내린다. 본 연구는 실험용 orthovoltage조사기를 이용하여 확립된 세포주인 Hela.53(5C)를 대상으로 각각 100 cGy, 200 cGy, 400 cGy 및 600 cGy 방사선조사 후 2주일간 배양후 crystal violet 염색을 하여 육안적으로 판별가능한 크기의 집락의 수를 산출하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. HeLa.S3(SC) 세포의 집락 형성능은 0.464이었다. 세포의 생존곡선의 형태는 다표적, 1 hit 형태를 보였다. Do는 150 cGy, Dq는 80 cGy, 외삽치는 1.7이었다. 이 연구결과는 향후 다양한 방사선 생물학 연구에 참고자료로 이용 가능하리라 사료된다.
