摘要：Head and neck cancers (HNCs) are aggressive epithelial tumours frequently treated using radiation. HNC biology shows distinctions dependent on the oncologic involvement of the human papilloma virus (HPV). Clinically, HPV positive HNCs respond better to radiotherapy but few in vitro data demonstrate radiobiological differences explaining differences in clinical outcomes. This pilot study examined radiobiological responses to irradiation and subsequent regeneration in two HNC cell lines (HPV positive and negative). A novel approach was taken to develop generational cultures of HNC cell lines, UM-SCC-1 (HPV negative) and UM-SCC-47 (HPV positive). MTT assays were used to determine surviving metabolic activity as a function of dose following 6 MV X-ray irradiation. Parallel cultures surviving 4 Gy irradiation (not analysed) were re-cultured and passaged to develop subsequent generations which were re-irradiated and analysed for generational change in radiation response. Second and 3rd generations of UM-SCC-1 showed decreasing metabolic activity with dose but little difference was evident in surviving fractions between these generations. Significantly lower metabolic activity in the 3rd generation at <6 Gy, compared to the 2nd generation, showed UM-SCC-47 becoming progressively more radiosensitive. HPV positive UM-SCC-47 showed generational progression in radiosensitisation not seen in the HPV negative UM-SCC-1.
