Human tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells (SAS) transfected with mutant p53 gene (SAS/mp53) and the neo gene (SAS/neo) and were transplanted by a trocar into the thigh of each nude mouse. When the mean diameter of tumors reached to 5-6 mm, heat treatment was performed. Tumor regrowth was evaluated when the RW reached 5-fold against the control group. In addition, apoptosis-related proteins and apoptotic cells in the sections were measured by staining using immunohistochemical methods. SAS/mp53 tumors showed more heat-resistant than SAS/neo tumors. Synergistic enhancement of tumor regrowth delay was observed by combination of X-rays at 2 Gy or C-beams at 1 Gy with hyperthermia (42degree-C, 20 min) in SAS/neo tumors, but not SAS/mp53 tumors. The incidence of apoptosis by the combined with hyperthermia and X-ray or C-beam treatments was very high in SAS/neo tumors compared with that in SAS/mp53 tumors. These results indicate that the thermal-enhancement of tumor growth inhibition of a transplanted human tongue carcinomas was p53-dependent, and might be deeply correlated with the induction of apoptosis.}, pages = {57--58}, title = {癌関連遺伝子からみた重粒子線治療の基礎的研究}, volume = {2001}, year = {2001} }
