Abstract;In order to confirm the dependence on p53 status of the hyperthermic enhancement of radiation cytotoxicity, we used A-172 cells, carrying wild-type p53, transfectants with pCMV-Neo-Bam control vector (A-172/neo cells) or mutant p53Trp248-expression vector (A-172/mp53 cells). The enhancement of combined treatment of radiation and hyperthermia in cytotoxicity was observed only in A-172/neo. The thermal enhancement of radiation-induced cell killing was LET-dependent for the A-172/neo cells, but this was not clearly demonstrated in the A-172/mp53 cells. We have obtained confirmatory evidence that the hyperthermic enhancement of cell killing is p53-dependent. (author abst.)
