Abstract:
:PU-H71, a heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor, has yielded therapeutic efficacy in many preclinical models and is currently in clinical trials. Carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) has provided successful tumor control; however, there is still room for improvement, particularly in terms of tumor-specific radiosensitization. The Hsp90 inhibitor PU-H71 has been shown to sensitize tumor cells to X-ray radiation. A murine osteosarcoma cell line (LM8) and a normal human fibroblast cell line (AG01522) were treated with PU-H71 before X-ray, 14- or 50-keV/µm carbon-ion beam (C-ion) irradiation. Cell survival and protein expression were evaluated with colony formation and western blot, respectively. Treatment with PU-H71 alone was shown to be non-toxic to both cell lines; however, PU-H71 was shown to significantly sensitize LM8 cells to not only X-ray, but also to C-ion irradiation, while only a minimal sensitizing effect was observed in AG01522 cells. PU-H71 treatment was found to suppress the protein expression levels of Rad51 and Ku70, which are associated with the homologous recombination pathway and the non-homologous end-joining pathway of double-strand break repair. The findings reported here suggest that PU-H71 could be a promising radiosensitizer for CIRT.
