The radiosensitivity of human malignant melanomas evaluated by cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay.

Abstract:

:Cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay (CB-MNA) was applied for comparison of radiation sensitivity of 25 human malignant melanomas in primary culture. Cells obtained from tumor specimens were irradiated (0-4.Gy) on dishes, incubated with cytochalasin B (2 micrograms/ml) to block cytokinesis, stained in situ and micronuclei (MN) scored in binucleate cells (BNC). Proportions of BNC in nonirradiated controls after fixed time of incubation (96 h) ranged from 2.3 to 38% indicating great differences (C.V. = 74%) in proliferative activity among tumors evaluated. No correlation was observed between proliferative activity and susceptibility of cells to induction of MN by radiation. The great inter-tumor heterogeneity was observed in respect of radiation sensitivity expressed either as normalized (Net) frequency (Fq) of BNC with MN or as number of MN per BNC. Both endpoints differed widely at 2 Gy and 4 Gy as well (Net FqBNC with MN = 0.28-25.4% or 1.5-45% and MN/BNC = 0.004-0.309 or 0.013-0.593 respectively at 2 Gy and 4 Gy) with coefficients of variation ranging from 44 to 57%. Extreme difference in MN frequency was also observed between one primary tumor and its metastasis indicating intra-tumor heterogeneity. Our results suggest that CB-MNA may contribute some clinically useful information for discriminating tumors that will eventually respond to radiotherapy and those that will probably not. However, studies aimed at comparison of MN induction in vitro with clinical radioresponsiveness of malignant melanomas are urgently required.
